Ok, PB is a bit lonely, and stressed right now, and needs some of our best SDMB electronic & psychic hugs, loves, best wishes, and prayers.
True, I do not know her as well as several here, which is why I can ask this out of complete altusism.
Now, folks, she has always been there for YOU, so you be there for her!
So, I am asking St. Bridgit for help, and anyone else can do what they want to to show their love & support.
{{{{{{{{{ Purplebear }}}}}}}}}
I’ll be praying for you hon. How can you be lonely, we are only a keyboard away. It’s not the same I know. But we love ya.
::Grumble, grumble she knows I hate this stuff bitch, moan::
Yeah, hugs, pb.
Chief-are you familar with the parable of the Widows mite? 
{{{{{{{{{{ PurpleBear }}}}}}}}}}}}
Just cuz she put me on her SDMB Lam list. Although, i’m still trying to figure out how the heck that happened.
DITWDsays
No.
Hugs, PB. You’re there for us, and we’re here for you.
BTW, ChiefScott, the Widow’s Mite parable IIRC is the poor widow in the New Testament who put in two small copper coins in the temple collection. According to the teachings, she gave more than the richest contributions of well-off people.
I don’t know how this relates though.
I’ll play! {{{{{{{{PurpleBear}}}}}}}} Just 'cause you’re really sweet and worry about people. Oh, yeah, and 'cause you’re a lot of fun!
Chief: The widow’s mite: In the bible, there was a widow who had only two small coins to her name. She gave them all. So in giving her two small coins, she was giving more than someone who had 50 coins and gave 10 of them. I think he was saying that since what you gave was all you had to give to this sort of thing…that would mean more than anyone else’s big hugs and effusive proclamations!
OK, Chief, the widow’s mite story goes like this:
One day, Jesus and his disciples were going to temple. They saw this rich guy (a Pharisee, IIRC) putting his tithe in the tithe-putting place outside the building. This guy made a big, ostentatious show of how much dough he was forking over to the temple.
Then a poor widow comes up and only puts in one coin (a mite; dunno if that’s an actual denomination or just a word to indicate that it was a piddly amount). Jesus points it out and tells his disciples that she put more in than the Parisee. The disciples wrinkle their brows and say, “Howcum?”
Jesus answers, “The Pharisee could have afforded a lot more. His amount didn’t really put a dent in his pocketbook. But the widow put in all she had. Her devotion to God and the temple is greater, and her sacrifice more pleasing to God.”
So, Chief, old boy, you just gave more than anyone else. It weren’t much quantitatively, but you gave.
End of sermon. Please turn to hymn number 184.
Oh, and PurpleBear, lest I forget:

Sorry to hear you are lonely pb. I’ve tried to talk with you a few times on icq and you are always busy chatting so I guess it never occurred to me that you might be lonely.
