I just had a thought while typing a response on our sister site. Do you all know that there is a secret code we share. As I read through others journals, type my replies or read others replies, I know we widows/widowers have a secret code. Call it widow/widowers brain, fat fingers, auto correct or just being in a hurry cause our attention span is so short. We all seem to share our mis spelled words, jumbled thoughts mis use of the english language etc. And guess what, "Nobody" cares!! ha ha. Well maybe our our old english teachers from high school. I think this is a fantastic thing. I actually think that at some point we may all communicate with hyrogliphics (sp). Wouldn't that be a hoot? Or maybe one symbal would represent an entire paragraph. Ok, no, I haven't been drinking, maybe should be, could be and may want to later. Just a weird thing among other weird things!! lol, Hugs and Love, Michele

And here I was thinking that we have some highly intelligent, eloquent writers on these sites...

. . oh, but we do have some very highly intelligent peeps here for sure. We are not the average "sheeple" (non-thinkers) . . we are the shakers and the movers! Yes, we are. If you find yourself here on this smaller, un-noticed w/w site, you are 'SPECIAL' . . not many can hang with us, nor will they for fear of being judged by the other below average IQ'ers out there. Not just guessing. I know my IQ . . D-man has shared his . . and it doesn't take a high IQ to recognize another fellow "thinker". I suppose IQ really doesn't have that much to do with it . . however, we are a very "smart lot of people" here. Born of the same Creator. I'll say no more . . but so glad we found each other! xoxo, D

Remember folks . . "shakers and movers" . . maybe that is what we should have named our site?? W/W Shakers & Movers. Ha . . Makes sense to me!! :) Back from the "living dead" and beyond "zombie" phase! We have re-assumed our right to a living, breathing human status and are keeping it moving!! Damn, now that could be a total nightmare scare for many out there in the w/w world!! It takes a lot of courage to keep this mind set, with hilarity and an open forum to share the positive. Do we dare? Yes, we do!! Proud of all!! xo, D

When I was very early on in this journey, I was told by someone to heal my grief with humor. At the time I thought it was totally nuts, but as I progressed, I found that a chuckle or laugh actually did help the pain and did not feel at all disrespectful. I firmly believe that none of our loved ones would want us to cry forever and never, ever laugh or feel joy again. After all, they loved us as much as we loved them. Sounds weird, but now it even seems like a tribute to Harvey.....the fact that he left me strong enough live on in a very different way.

Hugs, Darlene

Larry loved to laugh and loved life. I find i laugh very little these days, but this conversation has made me smile!Hugs Patti

Glad you could smile Patti! I often wonder if we are offending folks out there with the added humor? I have always mixed a little humor in with the ugly truths in life. Makes it more palatable. But that's just me.

I also had a few chuckles re-reading this morning!! :) Round of hugs, D

I’m still smiling at everyone’s anagrams.
I need to put them in my iPhone somewhere, for when I need a laugh...like when insurance companies drag their feet when it comes time to pay, or when the stepdaughters think they should get $1M each and don’t care that I have to pay my lawyer $545/hr to fight off their silliness because THEIR lawyer is on contingency...

FUBAR!

Or when close relatives think it's okay to ask for a lot of money, telling you there are no risks and it will be fully paid back in a few months...... knowing that it's your "safety net" and your anticipated retirement money [Bernie Madoff anybody?]........IAFM......... [you figure it out!]

Frustratingly yours,
Roz
