he draws now.
he writes.
he shows off his work.
he says that he is the best that HE can be...and that the people who count love him the most.
he says a lot of things, BUT
he won't say what that wonderful friend said to him....
and I don't want to know what it was...I only want my friend to know what he has been for my son. A true friend. An inspiration and a soft place to fall.
One stupid old woman is no comparison to any of that.

PS....blue footed boobies!!!!! I love the name, I love the bird...I love the picture

Sweet Quacker-friend....you have brought tears to my eyes....
because of two amazing men...
one is your son...
one is in the next room...
and you aren't so bad yourself, young lady!!!!

ducky...

you've made me choke up a bit here...

he is such a special young man....

I remember when he cried at the restaurant because of the local shrimp and how FRESH the shrimp was....that appreciation of the little things....I was really a student that day...

and then when he danced at our weeding...:D

and that walk we had downtown that day....how well he handled himself...our little talk....he just amazes me....

and like the moss said, you're not too shabby yourself....

((((((BIG HUGS)))))))

Oh, my Moi, I'm so sorry because of this womens lack of knowlege or heart that she was just "stupid". I hope she never has to face challenges even a fraction of what any of us experience.

Hey, guy we love you!! As the Olhipie says to me...I love your guts!!

EEEeeeek...I have 12 days til I go under the knife...back surgery...black and decker. I can hear the drills now!!!:eek:


thanks Tammilooloo...(((((((BIG HUGS)))))))

I was just more amused than anything at first....
It was another part of my "growing up" journey I needed, I think...it's made me becoming more a "Michael" that Dmack has posted....

I think it was actually a good thing for me...for me to become more like Scott, Vick's son, and Michael, Dmack's friend, and Dale, Ducky's son...

it turned out to be a positive journey for me...just part of it...I am going to handle it better next time also...

(no excuse) I am sorry for the pain that an ignorant person left you with, but while you are always making everyone here feel better about themselves, you need to be reminded that you are special b/c of WHO you are.

Don't let others' stares or unkindness ever change Muwah or make you second guess yourself. You have brought so much joy and wisdom to NT. I for one, am the better for getting to know you, even if it is in our lil cyber world here. We're lucky to have SM here, too! (someone's got to keep you in line) *insert grin*

take care friend~ you are truly cared about here.

PS: Give me her description, etc and I'll find her and give her a big SMACK!!!!!!!!! :hug:

awwwww, DM...(((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))))

no worries!! We have a NO pressure friendship!! Replies are NOT required!!!!

Cause I KNOW deep in my heart that you guys care...I really DO...that's why it is good to vent here....even if nobody would've responded to me, I would've been fine!! I am a venter...LOL I vent and then I am good to go...

btw, she looks a bit like...."Nappy!!" LMAO.....hee hee...wooooo...I am instigating now...LOL
no, but seriously....I am fine..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just wanted to thank you all for responding and all the private ones I've been getting also...

I really was just talking about support and how much the support here is awesome from what I was reading...and then some how I snuck that little low self-esteem crap in there and got everyone worked up...LOL sorry about that.... :p

((((((((((((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))))))))))))))

to all of you....

I am running out of words to use...I am sick of using "honored" "Grateful"


so, the "thanks" button is just going to have to speak for me....but it is a thanks that is so deep within me....

:grouphug:

Years ago when Olhipie was still able to walk with a cane he parked a distance from a store and an man followed him to the store and began yelling at him. He was angry because he said that he should have parked in the handicapped parking...we call it the pity parking...just to be silly. But this man was angry because he took his spot! Whatever!

Then there those who say they wish they had a power chair like his and the Olhipie will say I wish I had legs like your's, I'd give you my chair...People are so...I guess I don't have words to describe...

DM 09-24-2008 08:37 AM

Tam~ I totally "get" what you're saying about people wishing they could have an electric chair like Craig.

I have people say to me all the time~ I wish I didn't have to work and could just stay home and goof around. It irks me to no means. :mad:

I WISH I could have kept my job that I loved!!! I feel really bad for our members here that have to work and are physically struggling to do so, but the people who say that to me are ABLE to do anything they want. *sorry for the rant, but your post made me think of that*

Goes back to the original topic~ unless you LIVE it, you just don't GET it!

Oh and Muwah~ Who said we were "friends"???? :D:p:rolleyes::winky:

(you know I'm kidding, or am I????) Hugs to you and SM MY friends!!! :hug:
