In the past few weeks I think I posted more in few days, than I have in months. Now, with the execption of the thread about almost getting fired for giving blood in the Pit, I keep opening threads with all intents of posting, and I cannot. I’m weary. That’s the only word I can think of that comes close to the unfathomable tragedy has made me feel. I can’t contain the sadness I feel for what has happened and I want all the NYC, DC, PA…well actually all dopers, that my heart and prayers are with you. If anyone needs ANYTHING, please email me. I don’t want the teemings to think I have abandoned them. My arm is bruised from giving blood and I cry when I look at it, because that’s all I have been able to do to help. Thank you to (insert deity of your choice) in giving us the wonderful compassionate, selfless people on this board who made sure that all Dopers were safe and accounted for in addition to trying to help find doper’s loved ones.
I am proud to be one. I don’t have any words of comfort, or wisdom to give you, but please just know that there is a very short, dark haired woman just outside Chicago, that loves you all.
{{{{{MC}}}}} Love ya.
I think I’ve posted forty times just today. I’d be a basket case without you people. If there is ever anything I can do for you, name it. I owe all of you big time for putting up with me.
and, if I thought we had even the slimest chance of being able to search for victims, believe me both Lilly and I would be in the car to NYC or DC in a heartbeat. Lilly, can find a person in 6 seconds. She is the total optimist, if she finds them, they might have food! That and she can’t stand for people to be in pain.
You’re certainly not alone.
I’ve been reading the SDMB compulsively and it sure hasn’t been just out of a sense of duty.
In a world suddenly gone mad, Dopers have been a haven and much-needed corner of sanity. Couldn’t ask for a more diverse, opinionated group but you’ve been notable for reason, asking for facts, arguing horrendously painful issues fairly and with decency.
It takes a certain kind of humanity to meld high-minded, pissant contentiousness with genuine kindness.
