Bombadillo, if anyone is vehemently opposed to the idea of apologising to others about one's own choices, actions etcetera, that would be me. I am absolutely NOT sorry for anything I say here on Moot, or do with my life. If ever I come across as sounding apologetic, trust & believe that is so far away from my intention - everyone reads into things their own unique way, and so hurray for them, or whatever, but I truly cringe at the thought that I might be coming across as an "I'm sorry-er". The being shy thing, tho; it's just started over this last year or so, since I've dramatically changed the way I live my life, and am still getting used to being not-on-drugs and no-longer-gangbanging. That's where the shyness comes from, but stuff like this Entmoot I can tell you is a highly effective little daily tool to gradually break myself out of this newfound shyness.
But I am NOT APOLOGETIC!!!!!!!!! For ANYTHING!!!!!F-k the world if they can't adjust! Thanx for the words, Bombadillo; it's always quite revealing and infinitely interesting to get feedback on oneself like that.

I'm so sorry Bombadillo. My Grandma died from cancer a few months back, and I know how it can feel to lose a grandparent.

My condolernces on the loss of your gramma Bombadillo. I worry about my dad and mom who are in their mid 80s and mid 70s respectively. Moms health is worse because she smoked for so many years, and though they are still independent, they are fast approaching a day when they wont be. Fortunatly my little bro lives with then right now. And this cutting.. sorry to hear that. Its something I fail to understand, having a son who did it for a time. I just don't get the point of doing it.

And thanks everybody. I took my Current Events final today that I couldn't study for over the weekend, and didn't finish the essay for either. My teacher's giving me extra time for the essay. Then on Wednesday I'll miss my Psychology final because I'll be at the wake. This funeral shouldn't be as hard, though. I hope not anyway. I feel worst for my great aunts who lost their longest friends and my youngest cousin who'll never remember any of his grandparents.

I've read a lot of your old posts, Bombadillo, and enjoyed them, and was hoping you'd start posting again! My condolences for your loss - when my granddad died it broke my heart, and to this day I never stop missing him - he was the only family member I ever had who truly took an interest in me and loved me.

your loss is felt bombadillo, the path to the next lies fraught with worry and fear, but trust to your beliefs, whatever they may be.

Why in the world was emily leonard's little thread "problems" closed? It was sweet the way she opened it, and it looked as if it would have been a nice alternative to just this thread. Look at the way she started it out.
That's my vent-of-the-day.

You mean that one? I agree, it was a very sweet thread. She PMed me about it, too, since I invited her to, and she agreed that her idea had been basically the same as this thread--I don't believe she actually realized we had a thread like this, although I could be wrong. If she'd had a reason as to why it should have remain open, I invited her to PM me about it. She wasn't unhappy about it being closed. And if she had been, she always could've posted here... |

Alright, alright. Too bad, 'cause it coulda been a nice, lighter alternative to this thread which can get pretty intense; people dying and depressed and complaining about drugs; it gets intense here and I thought it'd be a refreshingly lighter, more "every-day problems" kinda thread. Oh, well.

Well, this thread is pretty light, usually. Just recently has it gotten so intense

....intensities in ten cities.....
This is too intense! My temporary vent of the day is passing wind. I really need to go to the happy thread.

Hey, I'm all for the intensity; it's real & uncontrived - I just thought it'd be cool to have a "lighter" thread in addition, for stuff like "my car won't start today, does anybody have any suggestions on how to figure out why", or "I can't get my budgie to eat his seeds today, anybody have any bird expertise" -stuff like that. Little problems that others can offer little suggestions to help on. That's what I thought that locked thread "problems" was intended to be.
