I'm really sick of losing DUers...

[bicentennial_baby]

whether it's to death or undeserved/deserved banning...I'm sick of losing my friends and cohorts...really sad :cry:

:grouphug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. Yes, regardless of how it happens, it sucks to lose a DUer.

:grouphug:

[bicentennial_baby]

2. The death really gets me...

Too many...Kheph, Jeff, Alarcojon, and Oneighty...and others...I just hate it. x(

:hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. Yeah, what really bugs me is thinking about DUers that may have died

but there was no one to tell us. I'm sure it's happened before, but we'll never know. x(

[bicentennial_baby]

6. That scares me...

I'm sure it's happened, and I hate that we'll never know...it's such a tight community, at least it feels like it, at times like this... :hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

8. ....

:hug:

[mwdem]

12. If I come close to dying, I'll let you guys know.

I really mean it. I feel so isolated these days. Just moved 1 year ago, diagnosed 8 months ago, out of chemo 4 months ago. No friends here, to speak of, my friends & family in denial, so if I hit the skids, I'll give you a heads up!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. I'm sending you all the good vibes I can.

:hug::hug::hug:

Yes, you do have a family with us.

[mwdem]

20. You're making me cry.

...and I do so appreciate your vibes. And I do so appreciate this website. But you are one of the truly sincere people here. Hey, you're from the NE, right?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. Aww, don't cry.

Thank you, though. I'm actually tearing up myself thinking of family I've lost.

Yeah, I'm from the NE. I live in NW Jersey and I spend much of my summer in eastern CT.

[mwdem]

26. I just miss the East Coast so much now.

It's been 20 years since I've lived there, and I've been to the Rockaway area, but a long time ago.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

30. Not much going on in Rockaway.

Lots of bears. Lots of coyotes. Fundie Christians trying to build a mega-church and having the whole town fighting them.

Wow...I see you're in TX. I've never been there. I want to visit Austin at some point though.

[mwdem]

32. Fundie Christians are everywhere!

If you want to come out to Austin (I haven't gotten there), let me know. It's about 2 hours from here (Dallas/Ft.Worth). Fly to Dallas, stay at my home & we can drive or fly from there! I'm up for anything.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

38. It'll be awhile before I travel anywhere, but I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you so much for your offer.

Normally, we don't have fundies in Rockaway. It's mostly Jewish. They're trying to bring in a church that will involve 30-35,000 members driving up Green Pond Road every Sunday. That will be a huge disturbance since it's mostly undeveloped land in this section with only a couple thousand residents.

[mwdem]

40. Just let me know & I'll let you know if I'm coming up your way

I'd love to get back to Jersey sometime, and I will.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

42. It's a deal. nt

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Hey you...

:hug:

Please talk to us...We're here...I'm here...always...No one should be alone. :hug:

[mwdem]

21. Hey , BB, you take care of yourself ..

and your friends. I'm good now, just funky hair, (surpassed yours, which looks cool). I'll keep in touch, okay?

[bicentennial_baby]

22. Please do...

and I will, promise! Just know that you can always call on me, or any number of us, if you need us. Always. :)

:hug:

and thank you....I need a haircut, badly... :P

:loveya:

[mwdem]

24. I'm going to have to get my first soon!

I look like Molly Ivins, but shorter. Hey, what can I do with this frickin curly hair? Mine was always so straight.

[bicentennial_baby]

25. I've heard that...

re: cancer...It always seems to come back like that...how weird! :o

Truth be told, I'm a hypochondriac with a serious, serious cancer-phobia...But, I'm working on it, every day. I read the DU Cancer group for self-therapy :)

You can do it!! I'm right here with you!! :bounce: :hug:

[mwdem]

28. You know, it's like any other thing

you just get through it. I know you have a great family support group! If I get enough courage, I'll post pics, even though my pic is here, somewhere on the boards, posted over a year ago.

[bicentennial_baby]

29. I know exactly what you're saying...

and I know you'll be a-ok. My fear is just that, fear. No more, no less. And you are SO brave! I'd love to see a pic sometime, whenever you're ready. Please. :)

:hug:

[mwdem]

34. I never post pics here, but I'll send you one soon,

There is a pic of me somewhere on this website.

[bicentennial_baby]

35. I'd love that, seriously

Send it to me, when you wanna :)

[mwdem]

37. Will do, and give my love to your friends, please.

my cat is sooo on my keyboard tonight! It took about 2 minutes to type this, but she so to sweet to be ignored. BB take care, and send my good wishes to your friends.

[bicentennial_baby]

39. I absolutely will

:)

and awwwww! I love the kitties...my gf is allergic, so I can't have them here, but...awwww! :loveya:

[mwdem]

41. Just tell your gf & sn that they are welcome here anytime, ok?

:loveya:

[bicentennial_baby]

45. Thank you!

They know....the Mrs posts here and there, and the Mr can't access DU from work. But, I'll pass that on, I will :) :) :)

[Drum]

27. We're behind ya, mwdem...

:grouphug:

[mwdem]

31. Hey, thanks!

I'm doing fine so far, and I would hope I"d be misse a little here. But I'm here for the haul!

[Drum]

33. We're none of us unimportant.

:hug:

[elocs]

13. I am sure, given the law of averages, that it has happened.

Take me, for instance. I have not been here too long and do not have too many posts and nobody here really knows me. Although I am 54 and in good health, anybody can be run over by a truck. If I died tomorrow, nobody here would know or notice. Such is life, and death.

[bridgit]

14. i just had the image of a weeping angel their wings all tucked in...

sobbing at the foot of a saddened, lonely, lifeless bed for the loss of their precious charge :cry:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

17. ...

:cry:

:hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

19. oh bridgit....

:cry:.... :hug:

[Aristus]

3. We'll see each other again.

I believe that with all my heart.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. I truly hope so...

I miss Kheph continually... x(

:hug:

[bridgit]

4. me too...

:cry:

[bicentennial_baby]

[bridgit]

10. b_baby...

[bicentennial_baby]

43. No matter how many people we lose here, there will always be those of us

who will be here on a regular basis, and those that were lost will always be referred to in some post or other. These people never seem to die here.
I am always hearing references to NostamJ and Khefra ( I think I'm spelling these names right, but if I'm not forgive me ). Sometimes there are those who make such an impact with words on the screen, that there is something you see here every day that reminds you of this person. I've never had the pleasure of meeting Khephra or Nostamj, but people STILL talk about them. I guess it's another part of life that we have to deal with..I don't know, maybe I'm talking nonsense now

[bicentennial_baby]

44. No, I get you....

Thank you for that...You're correct. I'm just sad for tonight... :hug:

:)

[pitohui]

46. it is a sad

a tragic day indeed
