Well, not over. I just wish it was today. You all probably know that feeling.  
I am in a major league funk. At the moment, I can’t see my way out of it. And I cannot bring myself to type out why. Suffice to say that is a whiny-ass set of reasons. But I am sad and am not finding very much hope right now.

I’m not gonna curl up and die. I’m not gonna get loaded. I just have to walk through feeling like this for a while.

Anyhoo, it’s late and I had to find some way to express that. And all the folks I would normally express that to are asleep, and I don’t think it’s worth waking them up over it.  
**SDMB** , thanks for being here.

You’re not walking alone, **spooje**. Take care.

Definitely not alone, buddy. I know the feeling and hope it passes quickly for you. Better days are ahead.

Just ride it out - you know better days will come along. In the past, I’ve found that helping out someone else seemed to bring me out of my misery-wallowing - is there someone you know who could use a hand?

Don’t wallow too long… [sub]I’m not much for virtual hugs, but if I was, I’d send you one or two[/sub]

{{{spooje}}}  
You know I’m here for you if you need me. No, actually, in your current condition, you probably don’t, at least, not if you’re like me. I’m here. E-mail me if you want to. I’ve got a high tolerance for trivial moaning, unless, of course, it’s mine.😉 Also, the Teeming Tens of [Cecil’s Place/](http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Cecils_Place/) are here for you if you need us, too.

In the meantime, I thought I’d let you know that I really enjoy reading your posts, and have done so since I started hanging out here.

Take care,  
CJ

Good.

Remember that there are some amazingly kind Dopers here who are more than willing to give you support if you need it - Hell, you’ve been here longer than me, you know that already.

Take care of yersen, pal.

I found the SDMB when I was going through my divorce. I suspect that’s what kept me from doing something stupid back then. I know it kept me sane when I was laid off.

For what it’s worth, I love to read your posts. You are clever and witty, so much so that I have probably been too intimidated by you to respond prior to this post.

Just remember, what goes down will come up again. Gawd, that sounds nasty. But I meant it as encouragement. Take good care of yourself, ok?

As **beckwall** stated, you are one of the more prolific posters. I’ve always enjoyed your shtuff, and look forward to seeing more.

Oh, wait…I thought that said **SPOOGE**

Never mind.

Just kidding. 😃 Hang in there. Down times are what make the good times so good.
