it is like being dead.... only no one notices....
at least when you're dead someone notices when they trip over the corpse.
i wonder who will trip?
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Well, the first thought that entered my mind was "A Little Love and Understanding". And that's exactly what I have sent to Marc via email. I hope it's not too big for his mailbox.

Yes, it does. I'm sorry.
As you have to get through it somehow may I suggest you imagine that the people who you would like to be with have offended you and you've gone off and left them and are now going to take the opportunity to do something interesting that you haven't been able to find time for so far.
A bit lame you may think - depends on how good you are at self-deception.

if it's ok with you I prefer to trip over you while you're alive. You can be a grumpy curmudgeon, but you are also my friend, and I am yours.

Marc knows, I hope, that I don't fail to notice him. Aside from contradicting him, I don't know what I can add to this thread. While I sometimes fail, I try and dispense love and understanding all the time, when I talk to him on the phone or instant messenger. The metaphor is awkward. Hence the direct question.

Marc,
Yes, I surely do agree. Being one who is alone 24/7/365, I can relate very much to your comment. I call it like being in solitary confinement 24/7, even though little more comfortable. Holidays are the worst. Family passed away/busy with their own/don't like to have get togethers any more. So all you who have partners and or family, treat them as more precious than gold, nuture them, cultivate them, encourage them, enjoy them. It can all be gone in a blinking of an eye.
Merry Christmas to you all and hope for a wonderful, Happy New Year for you all.

This morning I made as good a replica of my gramma's christmas breakfast....
Home made baked beans, half fried/steamed eggs on toast.... and friut.... with coffee....
It wasn't as good as gramma's but it was pretty close....
Later this morning I took a neighbor out to deliver cookies to some seniors and then we went in search of fresh limnes and frozen corn..... Not an easy quest on christmas day....
We managed to find both the limes and corn..... at about twice the normal going rate.... and I am making a corn salad to take to the local gay bar later this evening....
I'm trying to make the best of things.... but it isn't easy....
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

My Mom used to make "Buller" for Christmas. It is a finish bread roll type think. The important ingredient is "cardimen". A Finish lady gave her the family secret receipe. It was frosted with a white frosting and some nuts and red and green cherries. That and coffe or hot chocolate was out breakfast before going to the tree and opening presents. I miss the Buller and our Christmas ritual and even more... miss her. She's been gone six years in February. She will be 101 in August. Yes Marc. Hard to impossible to duplicate the past memories.
