37. nah, I am not The Boost

just the Grinch.
The Boost is from some skit on my nieces TV station (some kid station). This guy wears like a blue T-shirt that says 'the boost' on it and they show him driving around in a convertible until he gets to someone trying to get a frisbie out of a tree and he gives them a boost. Then he puts his hand to his ear (indicating that he hears someone else who needs a boost) jumps in the car and drives to where a short boy is trying to kiss a tall girl (like KW) after a date and he gives the boy a boost.
Not as cool a superhero as 'glasses boy' or 'the crisco kid' but funny in a lame, corny sort of way.

I'm trying to absorb the

I love her, and hope for less official intervention.

C'mere, my dear...here's some hugs and chaste kisses for you:

:hug: :hug: :hug: :* :* :*

I hope you're feeling much better now! We in the Lounge are noted for our supportive ways...

BTW, I meant to thank you for having made that incredible gif for me the other day, on the occasion of my 9000th post!

I had not realized that you'd made it just for me...and it is so very beautiful....:loveya:

19. OK, I'll tell you the story of the eclipse pic.

My younger brother traveled to Lewiston, Montana, Feb., 1978.
He was always an astromener.
I was 13 when he was 11. He had a 4"inch reflector telescope.
He showed me the moons of Jpiter.
When he died (1986) we (father, mother, siblings,
nieces, nephews, and friends) spread his ashes on Kitt Peak.

22. Oh boy, my dear Ptah...that is a tough loss indeed......

Thank you for telling me that story....I am so very moved by it...

I am so very sorry for your loss...to lose a sibling at any age is a very painful thing, and hard to recover from......

And what an appropriate place to spread his ashes...Kitt Peak has a wonderful observatory.......

The pic is so outstanding....thank you for sharing it and your brother's story with me.....

26. The wierd part is:

I am employed as an Instrument Maker at Kitt Peak.

It's an example of 'a small world' after all.

31. Closer to him?

Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 01:11 AM by Ptah

I have never felt very far from him.
He was only 16 months younger than me.
Many times we were mistaken for twins.

32. Then take that closeness....

and use it to find and keep the good memories close to your heart...

Whenever I have a loss, that's what I try to do......

Sometimes it helps...sometimes it doesn't....but do what you can to keep the darkness at bay.......

And remember the Lounge is so good for things of this nature......

We've got your back, my dear Ptah.......

24. I had one of those days on Monday.

Tuesday was a little better, and today was another step in the better direction.

You've come to the right place, because this Lounge is full of liberal lovin' people, willing to give out hugs when needed.

Since I got so many, you can have a few of mine:
