Hello all, hope u guys are doing well today. I have a stomach ache.

OMM: Hospitals, pain, and the mercy of God. Yesterday afternoon/night was very traumatic for me and my family. I had to be rushed to the hospital but was finally released late last night. A few good things came out of it. 1. My church went above and beyond. They've gone out of their way to do whatever they can, all the deacons even came to the hospitaland prayed for me. 2. Even when I was screaming because of the pain, the Lord was with me and helped me. 3. Even though yesterday was a hard day for everyone my parents helped me, loved me, and prayed over me. Yesterday I saw the love and mercy of God displayed in so many beautiful ways and for that I cannot help but praise Him. I'll be MIA for a little while. Take nothing for granted and thank God even in the "small" things.

Awww praying for you!

Thats what happens with age and time. Its a shame but its what happens.

People come into our life and are there only as long as God, the universe or whatever one believes wishes.

Then they move on and we as well. Its important that you are a good friend to those you have, but never see any of them as life long. Doesnt matter if they are friends for 10 minutes or 10 years or more. Just be the best friend you can be...... some times being a friend means letting them go their own path.

Its why I love the song "I'll Be Waiting" from The Offspring's earlier days

One part of the lyrics being:

"Once I had a friend that I could count on
So I thought
Well so it seemed
But times of need are not enough
To prove your friendship to me now
Once I saw a face that I believed in
But a mask was all there was
So who wears the masks and who wears the faces
Well I guess I'll never know

But as I stand here alone in a room full of people
With nothing to say
Beer on their minds, and smoke in the air
Call them friends but they just don't care

Friend for life
Such shallow words for a broken mind
Show me a friend for life
Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day"

Cherish the real friends you have, for as long as you have them and let them go when they need to go.

Just cause paths cross and go in the same direction...... doesn't mean they always will.

Id say the time is only wasted if the friend is simply wearing a mask, not wasted if a friends path takes them down a different road in life.

I've lost many a friend. Some have met an early end to life. Others simply followed their path in life.... raising family, moving half way across the country etc..... I don't consider any of them to have been wasted time.

This is why my heart just breaks for my friend. His close friend was there, every day, seeing him every week, through marriages, divorces, everything for twenty years. Twenty years. And then one day he's dead. I can't imagine maintaining anything for twenty years, and then it's all gone in the blink of an eye.

OMM? I can't handle another funeral. I can't not go, but the last thing I want to do is go to another funeral. Just a few hours. I can get through one more. Just don't let there be a third funeral, that will crack me.

Take nobody for granted, and take care of yourself.

Wow, sorry to hear that you were in that much pain... I'm glad you have a supportive church though, that is awesome. Will pray for you.

Ahh man. I'm sorry you lost a close friend. Is that your second funeral this year?

 

[sundewgrower]

... Um, really suicidal?

Well I'll see how it rolls... Got 100% on a few essays but its taxing as it is with a part time job and studies.
I was actually thinking about doing a six week stay in another country on a half load and work fullish time helping at a christian school. I must escape from where I live some or else lol.

Second in less than two months. I didn't know this person very well but he seemed like a nice man.

Glad to know that everything is alright, and I hope that things get better.

Alright, I haven't been on here much, but I am a bit confused. Have they been merging some accounts? I have been noticing old posts by some members who made new accounts, though their old accounts that they don't use anymore I am no longer able to click on...which I thought maybe they had requested to have it done, but then I looked at some of my friends profiles and what is really weird is that two of my friends who are sisters who used to post here seem to have had their accounts merged with each other, even though they haven't come on in a while. It is really weird.

 

[MarkSB]

I think Messy deleted her old account and created a new one... I'm not sure of any others, however.

Good to see you around, Quieted.

 

[vanillaicecream]

I think some members just changed their usernames.
How have you been Quieted?

Yeah, what I found didn't seem to be quite normal though. I'm not sure if you remember Tantabelle, SarahJoy and MissElizabeth, but it seems that their accounts were all merged. I don't think they have come on though in quite a few years. Their accounts were merged into SarahJoy.

It's good to see you too Mark! How are you doing?

Hi Vanilla! I am well! How are you doing?

 

[vanillaicecream]

@Quieted That's great. I'm good. I don't post much here now either. More like a lurker.

I am glad to hear that you are doing good! I have definitely been more of a lurker lately too, though this summer have taken more time off the internet too, haha. Sometimes lurking is easier though.

Perhaps it's a glitch from when the site changed?

Yeah. I totally agree.
Although sometimes it takes me days before I remember to log in here again.
Studies and work give me a busy sched. Speaking of studies, how's yours?

Well, taking some time off from the internet is good. I get to do more stuff that way. Believe me, it's never easy to have a long to-do list when you have internet access. The temptation fuels my procrastination.

 

[MarkSB]

Perhaps it's a glitch from when the site changed?

Yeah, sort of what I was thinking. When they first switched over, my screen name was my real last name, lol. They must have gotten it from my email address, but George switched it back right away.

Hi Vanilla! I am well! How are you doing?

That's good. I've been busy, so not much time online lately... but things are going pretty well.
