Would somebody please talk to me?

I am lonely.

180

no wife?

She lives downstairs, I live upstairs.

Thanks for talking to me.

180

that makes two of us.

Poor you.


Me too.

You git back to yer books!

How is school (College)?

Must be lots of sweet young ladies

for company!

180

I'm still on hold with mine - waiting to pass the act of sale on my little place in the country. If only surveyors, agents, title people could actually get their acts together...

The rain most all day was straight up and down.

I cried a lot when you were nailed to the cross and

that beautiful lady held your baby up for you to see.

Did y'all git married later? Have you seen Tony lately?

Thanks for talking to me!

180

Sorry you're lonely. Sometimes I am too. I enjoy your stories, although I don't often respond to them. You are cherished here.

Do you really live on different floors? Are you separated?

We are separated only by a set of stairs. Tricia does her thing I do mine.

She was here a few minutes reading this thread and laughing.

No, after forty six or seven years we get along pretty darn good.

Thanks for talking to me.

180

from what you've written in the past, that you had a pretty good relationsip. I'm glad to hear you're just lonely as in wanting attention. lol.

I'm always lonely. Baby blm is winding down...getting to be bedtime for her soon.

I did not know you had a baby! Boy, girl? How old.

We like babies at our house!

Thanks for talking to me!

180

Today was her first day with NO accidents in her pull-ups. YAY!!!!

I'm just dropping by so I won't be here for long, but I just wanted to give you a big hug.

*big hug for you*

:loveya:

Here is one for you (((HUG))))!

Thanks for talking to me rbnyc!

180

I have wanted to post here that I was lonely, too, but I never had the nerve.

Let your online friends cheer you up!

That is why we get together in the lounge, talk,

share good times, sad times and happy times.

Be great if we could ALL get together for real!

Thanks for talking to me clyrc.

Pm me if you want.

180

That would be one interesting gathering.

yo....wanna by a ten speed?

You mean buy? My bicycle days are over.

Thanks for talking to me.

180

ooops yeah I meant "buy" must have missed the typo.

MHS Chips! Sometimes if you want attention by golly you just gotta ask!

It pleases me greatly to cause you to feel better!

Thanks for talking to me.

I am listening to Mozart. You got any music going?

180

:-) just pulling your chain a little! Stumbled onto this forum--really enjoy reading the posts. No music, though--had a hearing accident years ago & while I enjoyed watching "Amadeus", can't hear his music very well!

My Tricia lost hearing in the left ear years ago.

She wears a hearing aid in the other ear.

One reason we stay in different parts of the house

is so my loud music does not bother her!

180

Pun intended. You appear to be such a gentle, funny man, 180. But then, most of the folks here are (except those that aren't). This is a good group.

Why don't you shut off your computer, go downstairs, drag your wife off the couch, and go for a walk? (Advice I need to follow myself from time to time re girlfriend.)

walk if my life depended on it! My wife would also have a difficult time.

Nevertheless you advice is good and well intended I am sure.

Thanks for talking with me!

180

?

if I have somthing to rest on frequently such as a

shopping cart, wheel chair. It is a long story!

180

also a long story, polio as a baby. i'm one of the last and oldest of the polio survivors. the year i got it, 53, was the year the vaccine was invented, and it was eliminated thanks to dr. salk.
always sitting here. but i used to be quite mobile when younger, thanks to numerous surgeries at shriner's hospital. but old age has caught up with me, and i'm back in the chair. but i'm hell on wheels at walmart.

i am homebound 99% of the time, kids all grown, wife at work, all alone all day with nothing but t.v. and DU. unemployed, except for playing music on weekends, which while not profitable, is thereputic.
nothing worse than being lonely. nothing i can think of. DU is much more than a forum for me, it's sort of lifeline. with good folks like you to talk to, even if long distance and disembodied, how can we lose?

You got that brain of yours working full time.

I like your thoughts and your writings!

And your pictures.

What do you play Mopaul?

180

since 1969 almost every weekend. blues, jazz, rock'n'roll and funk.
it keeps me sane and is big fun.

?

I am playing Mozart over and over and over.

The violins are crying, laughing, sighing, I am enthralled, fixated.

I have started several times to put something else on.

But this music fits me right now! I know you understand Mopaul!

180

music has a way of quickening the senses and emotions. it's very good for you, no matter what kind you like.

Sorry you are lonely. I don't get lonely very often. Maybe because I have two kids and they're always around! Arrrggggghhh. I try to tell myself to enjoy every minute because my son will be away in college in two years and my daughter will be a full blown teenager by then, and probably want nothing to do with me. My hubby is away half of the year (merchant mariner) so I'll have lots of "alone" time eventually. But sometimes I do wish my husband would just back up the two kids and go away for a few days. Ohhhhhh, to be home alone! What a treat! I must admit, I do enjoy my own company. And I always have great friends that are just a phone call away and....my fab DU friends. How could I ever be lonely! :-)

Do you have kids(grandkids)? Tell me about yourself. I know a lot of DUers seem to know you but I'm afraid I'm not one them. Introduce yourself! :-)

I have written about two hundred stories here

on DU, about my family, grand kids, dogs, ponies,

love stories, sad stories, happy stories. Our friends on DU

encouraged me to collect them into book form for

our grandchildren, which I have done.

What does your husband do in the Merchant Marines?

I was a commercial fisherman in South Carolina for a number of years.

PM me if you want. We can swap sea stories!

180

I don't really have sea stories. That would be my hubby. He's sailed as third, second, chief mate and captain. Natch he prefers to sail captain but those jobs are difficult to get. I thinks fishermen have a much more difficult job, I don't think it's quite so physically challenging to be on a merchant ship. We have a friend who is an electrician but spends a lot of time helping his dad on his fishing boat. A little too rocky for me!

I work as a math tutor in a middle school in Massachusetts. I think I'll only be doing it for another year though. Time to move on. I'm not sure where I'm headed but I always seem to end up where I need to be, ya know? I think I'll start by spending next summer (don't have to work summers! Yeah! I am so spoiled!) I'll spend next summer working for who ever gets the Dem nomination. I think it will be Kerry but who knows? I'll work for anyone against Bush but I must admit, I lost some of the wind in my sails when Gore dropped out. Damn. Damn. Damn. Oh well, whatareyagonnado?

Let's see....what else.....I recently quit smoking (again!) and I'm trying to stay away from the nasty things but I have to admit...I love smoking! Why oh why don't I love jogging, broccoli and tofu? Maybe my next life. I'll have to add that to naturally skinny, beautiful and rich, which I am definitely coming back as ALL THREE!!! Damn it!!!

Do you believe in re-incarnation?

The wretched desert takes its form, the jackal proud and tight
In search of you, I feel my way, though the slowest heaving night
Whatever fear invents, I swear it make no sense
I reach through the border fence
Come down, come talk to me

In the swirling, curling storm of desire unuttered words hold fast
With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes towers built to last
Darkness creeps in like a thief and offers no relief
Why are you shaking like a leaf
Come on, come talk to me

Ah please talk to me
Won't you please talk to me
We can unlock this misery
Come on, come talk to me

{Chorus 1:}
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can't you show me how you feel now
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me {x2}

The earthly power sucks shadowed milk from sleepy tears undone
From nippled skin as smooth as silk the bugles blown as one
You lie there with your eyes half closed like there's no - one there at all
There's a tension pulling on your face
Come on, come talk to me

Won't you please talk to me
If you'd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you'd only talk to me

{Chorus 2:}
Don't you ever change your mind
Now your future's so defined
And you act so deaf and blind
(And you act so deaf so blind)
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me {x2}

I can imagine the moment
Breaking out through the silence
All the things that we both might say
And the heart it will not be denied
'Til we're both on the same damn side
All the barriers blown away

I said please talk to me
Won't you please come talk to me
Just like it used to be
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can you show me how you feel now
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me {x2}

I said please talk to me
If you'd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you'd only talk to me
{Chorus 2}

for singing to me!

Very nice, I enjoyed that!

I have a new dog. Is that good news or what?! He is from the SPCA shelter and he looks almost exactly like my schnauzer/lab mix 10 year old, Sirius (see Sirius at the DU Gallery - Pets). I changed the new dog's name from Deon Sanders (doh!) to Canicula de Bastille. Canicula (we will call him Kanick and Nickula) is the Latin name for the dog star (Alpha Canis Major); Sirius is the Greek name for the same star.

If anyone can host a picture, I'll send it and post it to this thread. That way Canicula can keep 180 company tonight!

I cannot have animals due to my lung problems, but I can still love them.

I know you are a good person. Saving the dogs from the SPCA

makes you a double good person DemoTex!

Ed

my meds.

Thanks all for funning around. See you later.

PS> I love my wife!

A note for when you come back to DU all medicated up! I get lonely sometimes and spend WAY too much time cruising DU. A real sanity saver in more ways than one. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello. I love your stories but I must have missed some of them. 200 is a lot and I'll bet your grandkids will cherish them, a wonderful legacy for you to leave them. It just reinforces my feeling that you are really a great guy. I am glad to "know" you. Gonna go to sleep now, gosh the early farm mornings are getting to me but it is hay time and was 118 degrees (comfort index) the other day so early mornings are the only way. Talk to you later. Good night my friend.

sometimes, 180.

I'm single with no kids and most of my good friends are out of state/country. Sometimes I get terribly lonely. But I can be such a solitary creature that even having my cats around and demanding my attention can irritate me.

Some of the SF DU folks have been talking about doing a national get- together, maybe in Las Vegas where it would be easy/cheap to get there.

Whattcha think?

WHAT'S UP MY E-LOVE???

Now everybody knows!

I love you Skittles! Your E Mails are so cute!

180

not with those perky ears and great big smile. Not to mention her fluffer butt and that I can talk on end at her and she never yawns. Try it, You'll like it...

:hi:

Who in their right mind named you "Lonely"?

;-)

:hi:

All the lonely people?

Guys like you with that Uthuthllath guy, whatever, never get lonely I guess.

Thanks for joining us!

180

Just a keystroke away.

No need to thank me. Thank YOU for being a DUer!

I can relate to a degree.

When Marie was alive, we were in the same state until I started listening / talking to her. Nothing against you or Mrs. 180, just wanted to share.

Now that she's gone, my theme is:

He's a real nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Doesn't kave a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.

He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Doesn't kave a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lend you a hand.

He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.

That is sad about Marie. I am speechless. And I am sorry for you.

My Tricia and I are fine together. We have a big house

and we enjoy it. WE live in all the rooms!

180

I knew it was bad when she was IMing her friends and I was on my laptop working when she emailed me and asked when I wanted dinner.

I stopped doing what I was doing because I realized that she not only needed / wanted me, she needed/wanted "me". Yes, there still is a TON of "woulda/coulda/shoulda" for me on a daily basis - after all, she was 30, I was 35, but I'm trying to hang on. I really feel old for 37.

I sure don't want you to be lonely. Why not treat us to another one of your wonderful tales? :loveya:

See how many people responded?

Never a lonely moment here:-)

Enjoy your Mozart and goodnight.

Michael
