Hey **spooje** , sorry you’re feeling sad. Though I have a hard time imagining how someone called “spooje” can be sad. Maybe you should just shout your handle several times (“SPOOJE SPOOJE SPOOJE!” Hey, I feel better already myself!) Keep checking into the Board…I guarantee that, real soon, somebody on some forum is gonna write something that will have you rolling on the floor.

Yeah, what **auntie em** said!
FWIW, as **Duke** said, your name always brings a smile to my face, so, although we don’t know each other, I hope things get better really soon! Peace and relief, **spooge** 🙂

from a Newbie…I can only add my best wishes to everyone else’s. Sometimes, just knowing that you’re not alone can be enough; I hope this is such a case.
At the least, WHEN (not if) you come out of your funk, I hope you get a warm fuzzy from reading all these posts.

IMHO, while saying your handle might be a way to snap out of your funk, I seriously doubt it… though it is a cute suggestion.
**Spooje** , I am positively melancholic that you’re sad (for whatever reason)… and I don’t really have a normal bone in my body, anyways! (ask my friends) So if you want to vent, or just to know that someone is there for you, just email me, all right?
Sometimes you do have to live through whatever is causing you to be sad, but don’t let it get you down forever!
Sending lots of positive thoughts, love, and hugs your way,
Leslie (aka ) **Flamsterette\_X**

Another who has opened this thread a couple of times and not known what to write. I’m sorry you’re sad and hoping you feel better soon. Hope you don’t mind this…

Just another fan of your posts checking in. I know you mostly need time, but I figure one more hug can’t hurt. BTW, I really _do_ enjoy reading your posts on this board, and I look forward to seeing your name.

Thank you all for the kind thoughts and E-mails. There were quite a few e-mails.
I talked some friends ears off, got some good feedback. Did what I needed to do. I got my feelings hurt in a situation, and was struggling with feelings of worthlessness…yada, yada, yada.
But I had a very good weekend. A very good weekend. The best I can remember…
I’m still hurting, but I have a more positive outlook than I did Friday. Things are looking up.
I will be OK.
Again, thanks for the good vibes. I appreciate it. 🙂 🙂
