Been there. I am currently getting over The Cold, also in a single state of being. But the worst was living alone and going through the loss of my godfather. There were times, usually late at night, when I’d wake up and forget he was gone, and then it would hit me. And all I wanted was someone who cared about me to hold me. I suppose there are advantages to being single, the toilet seat is where you want it, you’re free to spend your Friday nights with The Girls with no one grumbling. But at times of moral or phsysical crisis, I’m with ya, sister. There ain’t nothing like a fella. ---

**Bill** I don’t trust you anymore. You’re even over there hitting on Sua, ferchrissakes. Methinks someone is in NEED! 😃 **mags** , it’s in your inbox. Do your magic, girlfriend. **Bad Hat** …Hey, Toph. What’s shakin’? Long time no see, indeed. **Swiddles** , ain’t nothing like emotional/physical turmoil to wipe away that “I will survive” face. \ Preach on, sister. Okay, that wiped me out. I’m going to go lie down again. \ ---

Hey Nym, Since I was downsized about a month ago my days are pretty free. I’m not sick, but it’d be nice to have a guy around to cheer me up and take me to dinner since food is becoming optional. However; I’d be happy to bring you some supplies and my dog Lilly who is like a very small, living hot water bottle. (13 lbs) Then when you get well, we’ll go have a big girl’s night out and get REALLY sick. Feel better Shay ---

Ok Nym. Upon seeing this thread, my cold, which was a nice, innocent, harmless little cold, turned into… THE PLAGUE. Swear to God it’s the plague. Unfortunately, there’s a 10% chance you’ll survive the plague. And I don’t even have my own bed to curl up and die in! ☹ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Nymysys \* > **Bill I don’t trust you anymore. You’re even over there hitting on Sua, ferchrissakes. Methinks someone is in NEED! 😃** Well, I must say that is nicer than saying I am DESPERATE! Oh, lemme see, I was unceremoniously discarded at Thanksgiving, of **1999** , so I have been, shall we say, **lonely?** for 15 and a half months. And the **Sua** thing was in error. I normally don’t hit on guys, although I am glad it provided some comic relief, at least. Your last post was lucid and clever, you must be getting better. A little “small world” stuff, I almost moved to your town a few years back (I checked the profile, I’m not stalking you, at least not at the moment). But I didn’t. Sigh. I could be there RIGHT NOW if I had. My loss. But I have tickets to the Bulls-Heat game Wednesday. ---

You know, you all are very, very sweet, but didn’t you notice that the Ozzie won the game in the first 20 minutes? Commiserating is fine and wonderful, but the boyfriend job has been taken. P.S. I’m feeling much better now. Thanks to all. 🙂 ---

My humblest apologies for the constant Hijacking **Nymysys** I’d never do it intentionally. Anyways **mighty\_maxx** I’d get on yahoo but with this damned NT they have running on these computers are work you cannot download anything and install it. Oh yeah the thing for March 30th is still on. It’ll just be you, Mrs. Tiki, and myself. Personally I can’t wait to see Mrs. Tiki trashed, but I’ll leave that for another time. I’ll give you a call this weekend to see whats going on. ---

Sorry Nym, I really am, but Tiki is just like that…I’m not. So tiki, you ready to party down the 30th?..lol…ok it stops now…Glad you are feeling better, but I feel your pain. My Girl Friend would have travel half-way around the world to feed me soup, so for now I suffer alone 😃 ---
