An apology to the Lounge as a whole. Mea Culpa.

I want to apologize for all of the personal crap I've vented on here recently.

The Lounge is NOT the appropriate forum.

I am going underground to a more appropriate forum with my slow motion midlife crisis/nervous breakdown.

Thank you and I apologize.

I don't think anyone objects to listening and offering advice to each other.

If ALL you did was post your troubles and concerns time after time after time ad nauseum... you MIGHT have
cause to 'pologize.
.
.
.
Otherwise, many/most of us here are here for each other, among myriad other reasons. One of the things
almost ALL of us do... eventually... is look for shoulders on which to lean.

You got MY shoulders... and many others besides.

So quit complainin' about complainin' and complain as you feel the need.

Citizens United I mean.

Your posts and threads are one of the reasons I keep coming back to DU.

that is one of the main purposes of the Lounge.

we tend to be here for each other, it is ok to unload

I do hope things get better, but don't apologize for asking or receiving a virtual hug occasionally.

And ..... sometimes I post about it, and then wish that I hadn't. But I don't think anyone minds hearing about other people's problems. If anything, it makes this place feel like more of a community.

One of the worst things about modern society is how *alone* we can sometimes feel. But there are real people behind all these DU usernames, and many of them are more than willing to listen.

Keep posting about the things that matter to you. That's part of what this place is all about.

The "Get your ass handed to you on a silver platter self help group" that is Meta is the place to vent about DU.

No one reads the long posts anyhow. And it didn't have kittens, so no one noticed.

Hope things are getting better, Denninmi.
