Some of you know who I am. Some don't. I've been around for a while.

[crim son]

These past weeks have been very hard, coming to terms with reality. If you would, please give me thirty seconds of good thoughts/prayers. It would mean a lot. I think I'm facing reality but somehow that is very hard, very lonely.

Thanks guys. I know few of you will respond. Still I appreciate it. -L

[ZombieNixon]

1. Of course.

:hug:

[crim son]

3. Thank you ZombieN.

I used to hang around under a different username. I appreciate your thoughts, I really do. :pals:

[Guava Jelly]

2. Oh girl take all the time you need

It's all good :)

[crim son]

5. I have no choice, dear man.

but lately I've been realizing how deeply I've fucked up! There's no way to go back! Thanks. You're a fine, if sexually desperate (! j/k) man.

[Guava Jelly]

7. there is always a choice

Life goes through many phases.
No matter now bad you feel shit on..It's just a small section of a bigger picture.
Damn does my desparation show that bad :rofl:

[crim son]

29. Yeah. You sound just like me! Scary. n/t

[jobycom]

4. You've got my support and vibes, and my attention if you want to talk.

I rarely read the name of the poster before reading a post or deciding to respond to it, but somehow I wind up reading yours a lot. I suspect we have similar ways of viewing the world, and I know we are at similar stages in our lives, with some differences. So, good vibes, understandings, and anything else I can convey. :hug:

[crim son]

6. Jobycom, you have no idea how much that means to me!

I know you and we used to communicate, a little. So your kind words mean something. :hug:

[jobycom]

8. Good!

Looking back is no good, it only makes you run into trees and trip over skateboards some kid forgot to put away.

[Hissyspit]

9. Hang in there. This too shall pass.

And we've all been there.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear crim son..........

You know I'm here for you, anytime.......

And there are others as well........

Use the PM if you like......I always respond!

My good thoughts and hopes are speeding on their way to you!

And here's a little prayer for you......I love it, and I've sent it to folks I care for......

When I remember you in my prayers, I always thank my God.

From Philemon 4.....I'm not sure what that is, though......

[crim son]

31. That's a wonderful thought. May I share it?

You may find me harassing you via PM, Peg. All screwed up as usual.

[Ptah]

11. Here you go:

:hug:

[crim son]

32. That is either a rainbow, or the funnel end of a tornado just

about to touch down. I'm going to assume it's the former! Thanks, Ptah!

[swag]

12. I hope it works out for you. Stay strong.

Things will get better, brighter.

[crim son]

33. It's a little relapse, I guess.

And I hope you're right and things will get better. It wouldn't take much!

[ThomCat]

13. (((((HUG)))))

I'll send you lots of good thoughts. Be strong and be well. :hug:

[crim son]

34. Thank you ThomCat.

I can't seem to go a week without a meltdown :( But you guys always make me feel so much better. :pals:

[ThomCat]

36. Meltdowns are proof that you're smart enough

to recognize that shit has to change. It's when the shit no longer bothers you and you quietly put up with it that we really need to start worry.

[crim son]

41. I just wrote to GoPsUx

that I'm having unnerving moments of calm. It's part of what is freaking me out... that I might be losing the will to continue with my divorce, school and all that. Oh well.

[ThomCat]

43. You might loose the adrenalin and some of the anger

but please don't loose the will. Hold on and keep going. You know it will be best for you in the long run.
:hug:

[Shine]

14. Good vibes comin' your way, crim son.

besides, anybody who has such obvious good taste to have chosen a DRAGON for their avatar is OK by me! :D

Hang in there...:hug:

[crim son]

35. You like the dragon too?

Thank you Shine! I'm a-hangin'

[AmyDeLune]

15. Here you go!

[crim son]

38. AmyDeLune, that's a beautiful doll.

Thank you for posting it for me. :hug: She looks so peaceful.

[MissHoneychurch]

16. Good vibes on its way to you

stay tough

:hug:

[crim son]

40. I will!

I appreciate the good vibes. They're working :)

[reyd reid reed]

17. Whatever's going on, it's going to work itself out

And, until then, I'll send nothing but good thoughts your way.

:hug:

[crim son]

44. RRR, with all you've been through lately,

I appreciate your thoughts very much. Thanks :hug:

[enigmatic]

18. you got it

:hug:

[crim son]

45. Thanks enigmatic.

I'm feeling better today and I'm sure it has to do with all the good vibes.

[Jamastiene]

19. Reality can be a real downer sometimes.

I know how that feels. Here's hoping you start feeling better and a lot less lonely. Loneliness kills people. Many great DU'ers will be there for you. I know I've had those times when a few great DU'ers were what kept me alive.

[crim son]

47. I've been sick too, and wondering if the stress is finally

beginning to take its ugly toll. Fortunately, I really don't care. But you are right, DUers are the BEST!

[laheina]

20. I always have good vibes to spare for fellow DUers!!

I'm sending many out to you, and please, take all that you need! ;)

:hug:

[crim son]

48. laheina, I caught them all as they arrived

and thank you, sincerely, for the great bunch of 'em :D

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. You got 'em *hugs*

[crim son]

49. Thank you GreenPartyVoter!

They didn't have to travel far; we're in the same state!

[GreenPartyVoter]

65. *g* I bet they rode out on this heat wave! *whew!*

[MissMillie]

22. be good to yourself

:hug:

you're not alone.

[crim son]

50. I do know I'm in very good company. I wish some of it was

nearby so we could commiserate.

[swimboy]

23. I'm thinking of you.

Peace and strength. :hug:

[crim son]

51. Exactly what I require, swimboy. Thank you so much. n/t

[miss_american_pie]

24. Hey you

:hug:

Need a PM?

[crim son]

52. I fell asleep! A little better today although I've begun to have

symptoms of both my asthma and my rheum. arthritis. The upside is that being short of breath and unable to walk takes my mind off of everything else. Sorta :)

[auntAgonist]

25. you have my best wishes and

good vibes for as long as you feel you need them :)

PM me if you need an 'ear'.

You should not have to feel lonely. :hug:

aA
kesha

[crim son]

53. You are dear, kesha.

I suspect I will be relying on your support for some time to come. You do remind me that I really don't need to be lonely when I can cry on the collective shoulder of the Loungers :hug:

[Midlodemocrat]

26. Pretty sure I know who you are.

Best to you, sweetie. I know these last few weeks have been difficult.

:hug:

[crim son]

54. Laugh. I suppose my cries of despair have become

recognizable and my attempt at incognito has failed! It's okay. Thank you for your support, Midlodemocrat.

[Bassic]

27. Hey we're all here for ya man.

:hug:

[crim son]

56. Thank you Superman - I mean Bassic.

It helps a lot.

[wildhorses]

28. dunno know what you are going through but, I will keep you in

my prayers and meditations in the hopes that you load will be less...
take care and drop in here anytime...someone is ALWAYS here to be a friend
:hug:

[crim son]

57. I would appreciate it if you would, once or twice.

My personal efforts are failing and I'm wondering if the Deity is unhappy with me because I've lost much of my faith. Thanks!

[Katina]

30. hang in there

life is cyclical, it will get better, I'm sure of it.

[crim son]

59. It's funny you should say that.

The husband I am leaving and I were talking this morning. We agreed that after this unbelievably horrible stretch of bad luck and pain, when things turn around we have earned ourselves a HUGE pile of luck. Hope so!

[matcom]

37. all yours

i've got plenty to spare

:hug:

[crim son]

60. You probably need good vibes yourself about now.

Aren't you watching the game in 100 degree heat? :pals: Thanks matcom, and as always, thanks for the smiley-butt. It always pleases.

[ForrestGump]

39. Only you can do what you have to do,

but you have a lot of people on your side, including many here. Even those of us who don't know the circumstances. We don't need to know to wish you well.

Good luck. I wish you the best for a positive outcome and a future better than the best of the past.

[crim son]

61. ForrestGump, I really appreciate your good wishes

and kind words.

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. crim son... I hope things are soon looking up for you.

You aren't alone in that you have friends here. :hug:

[crim son]

62. Well, I complain and wail here, and then I feel mildly stupid.

Except, it really helps! Thanks.

[malta blue]

46. good thoughts headed your way....

:) :hi:

[crim son]

63. I received them malta blue.

Thanks a bunch! :hug:

[AirmensMom]

55. Of course, crim son!

Good thoughts and prayers coming your way. :hug: :grouphug:

[crim son]

64. AirmensMom

You are the best! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

[Taverner]

58. I remember ya - my thoughts go out to ye...

[crim son]

66. Taverner, I wish you didn't!

I've been a whiner lately. But thanks my dear for your good thoughts. :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

67. Reality can really stink, can't it?

Especially if you're like me, and you conjure up fantasies of "how beautiful life would be if..."

It took a long time for me to even recognize what a dream-world I lived in. And I was so unhappy, because things were never really as I dreamed them to be.

My advice to you, based on my experience with this kind of thing, is to just let it go. Comfort yorself, because you need your own love and acceptance right now. Coming to terms with reality, painful as it might be, is a beautiful thing, because it means that you're really living!

I'll be thinking about you, and keeping you in my thoughts...
