Sorry guys.. I just hate this.. We are having fun with ourselves and that is good. But then someone comes on and posts about a tragedy and then it makes me feel so freakin strange.. Like I shouldnt have been having a good time and laughing. I dont know why I feel this way but it makes me just sick to my stomach..

Poor Jada.. aka.. madashell........ she isnt on here a lot but we have been friends for over 2 years.. her dad committed suicide and she found him. Makes me so sick.. We need to send her love and condolences.. Jada.. I am so very sorry for all you have been through in the last couple of years.. I love you..

And then to here Appaininfla is going to quit coming here. I am going to miss him and Im sure you guys will also.. Lets send him some hugs and incouragement please.. Im gonna miss him..

You guys are my rock.. I dont know what I would do without all of you.. My life was shit until I found you guys.. It really is true..

Love and hugs for you all.. Y'Vonne

If we only had fun when nobody was sad or really down, then we would never have fun here.

Huge hugs to everybody who is down today

Play happy music that makes your feet want to dance. I find that helps me lift my mood and shift my perspective.

Remember too, that Belongs to Them ... just because you are having fun, in no way negates or over-looks someone Else's suffering. It all IS ..... the fact that you posted this shows what a caring person you are. We all know that.

I know what you mean, though ........

Sometimes all you can do to stop yourself from spiraling is to head in the other direction.

Without night, what would sun be? But still, this is a place where people come who do not have much light in life. A tradgedy in our midst reminds us all that we are here for support that we did not get anywhere else. I am here for the good times, and the bad times. I will help as I have been helped. Huge Huggz to anyone who is down, and a flash of the Green Angels wings to you, Beastie. They really broke the mold with you, Sistah!

ur only human, to feel guilty for feeling good, when someone has a tragedy going on, but, you didn't know.

Laughing is really my only way to survive, I never feel guilty about it. The only reason I'm ever even around to be able to talk to someone who is down is because I am up a little, even momentarily. In my down states I can't help another single soul.... I'm too far down myself. Those are the times you see me disappear. Keep laughing

i don't know madashell, but i can't imagine what she must be going through...

as for APPaininFL - i don't even have words to describe how i feel right now...

Beastie, when I was a nurse someone would die, I'd perform last offices, then go back out on the ward and joke around with my patients. If we absorb all the sadness around us we will sink. Mad knows she has our love and support; you're right, it is a horrible thing to happen. You took the time to support her, take a pause, remember him, and now you have to carry on. News like this will affect our little community but don't feel bad about bouncing back. It's a survival instinct.
Love you beastie.
