HollyGolightly Ditto what king family fan posted - so happy to call you my friend.
ghost19 Thank you for the kind words. The happiness and restored joy in your life is an inspiration.
A big hug to anyone who needs some encouragement today.

This makes me really sad.
Sucks to be your friend that didn't read the story. He obviously doesn't know what he's missing.
I wrote a short story for a friend from the POV of their dog. They adored it. Had they tossed it aside I would have been very, very upset.
Sending you hugs.
I'm bummed.
I had a very close friend many years ago. Nothing romantic or cheater-style (at all, I swear), but we were very close in that we'd experienced a lot of the same problems before and had the same outlook on a lot of things in life. We got along wonderfully and kept in touch, it was a cool relationship as our significant others are also very good friends so it was a nice group of people to rely on.
This persons life took a dramatic turn and we lost touch. I attempted to contact him a few times and it was always a response that was a sentence or two via social media. I felt like maybe he'd moved on and onto bigger and better things so I accepted the friendship was now distant. It became so that I'd receive an obligatory Christmas card on a yearly basis. When I'd respond, I heard nothing until the next Christmas. I gave up. A few weeks ago I heard from this person out of the blue, wrote them back a very cordial response (detailing nothing in my life for my own protection) and have yet to hear back. I kind of have given up on this friendship, it seems as though I'm nothing until something goes wrong then I'm something to run to for support, meanwhile when my own life goes to hell this person is nowhere to be seen.
Thanks for letting me vent

Now I'm picturing Jennifer Gray in Ferris Bueller's Day Off telling that Ferris-lover to go piss up a flag pole ;D
I've decided that if this turns into another yearly thing, I'm ignoring it from now on. I figure if someone has wrote me off as dead, they need to let me die already.
Now I'm bummed
(((Tery)))
I'm bummed because it's rainy, gray, dreary and humid out, so much that the air smells like a combination of septic and earthworms.
Yuck.
Yuck.
....kinda similar to the ass and cornchips fragrance at my prison....

Ever been sitting around, thinking "I should clean the house. This place smells like a combination of B.O. and old socks" only to realize what you're smelling is actually your feet? ....uh, because, I sure haven't. *paranoid eye dart* what?
...I have two sons and a friend in the house right now that work the oilfields about 15 hours a day... the County Commissioners want to use their boots and socks to keep the mosquitoes at bay....Ever been sitting around, thinking "I should clean the house.

I used to spend 90% of my life cleaning out horse stalls. I'd get ankle deep and my shoes stunk so bad my family members forbade me from wearing them anywhere else. On a hot day those shoes could clear a room!
Bummed because we had a heat wave that broke a record set in 1896 for most days in a row at 90º or more (most were 100º or more) and then it cooled down just enough for me to clean the house in order for my sister to come and tell me how terrible I am and just as I thought I'd catch a break we have another ten days of 100º weather predicted. Today was 105º!
For 45 or 50 years of my life I've been going around reading books, watching TV and movies, observing people, events, and other things, and doing some writing, thinking something has to inspire me to produce something great. Once this happens I will no longer be insignificant baggage and can survive on the proceeds. Of course people can choose to continue to run me down but if they do so they'll just make themselves look bad as if they're jealous. There was a constant turning of gears, thinking "one of these is bound to catch," at all times, possibly even when asleep. It's only in the past four years I've suspected this was some sort of Fountain of Youth/El Dorado/Northwest Passage wild goose chase and I'd have about as much chance of making the bestseller list as finding the lost continent of Atlantis! There are gears on one side and not the other and I suspect my side is the one with the missing teeth! The question is, do I still deserve to live? All these years I was surviving mainly on the assumption it would be a shame to kill a great artist before inevitable success. Now I'm wondering if I should not die in the near future if not should have done years ago. And if not how to prevent it!
Cori! Stop this. You deserve to live.
You deserve to be creative and keep reaching for excellence. Did you see that people here took the time to send you birthday wishes? I'm not sure if you've seen that. Go look. If you have, then I hope it made you realize that you are valued here.

What? Are we chopped liver?
Don't try to think of death if your'e a Zen Buddhist. Take up a hobby and not think about negative things. YOu are a special person and deserve to think of yourself as such. Twy to think of king. he come fwom humbel origins and built his idea fwom being humbel. king always thinking of people like you so don't be sad. watch king on JePardy, he lost to David Duchovny but not get upset or mad.
Cori. Please stop thinking like this. Not all of us will do brilliant things or be rich or famous. But that doesn't mean we are dead weight. Each of us has an effect on one another. Your friends here on the SKMB care about you. You mean something. You are special and unique and we know it. And we're a pretty smart bunch. Do something to take your mind off things. Binge a TV show, watch a movie, read a book, listen to music. Find something that reaches your soul and let it take over for a while. You . Are. Loved.
Actually, I had not seen any of that as I don't look at that board. All the greetings were thoughtful and some extremely clever. Apparently someone took a picture of me off Facebook and Photoshopped it alongside one of Ray Bradbury!
