JUST A LINE TO LET EVERYONE KNOW I AM STILL ALIVE

sherlock · October 20, 2009, 07:08:28 AM

I have received messages of concern from quite a few of you because I have not posted in some time. Since Feb, I just have not been able to get myself into much of anything. It just don't seem worth the effort to cook/smoke for one so I have not done much. I made jerky a couple of times and gave most of it away. I am just now begining to climb out of the hole I dug myself into so look for me to be around some. I did make some ABT's for a group of friends the weekend before last. It's been very hard folks, but I will make it thru this. I thank you all very much for your concern and blessings.

Our posts never crossed paths but welcome back nevertheless.

I admire your spirit and wish you all the luck.

Ok, I will be the first to volunteer. You can smoke for me anytime! I know it is a big sacrifice on my part, but hey, sacrifice is my middle name! All attempts at humor aside, my friend, it is great to hear from you again! Real good! Knowing what you have been through all I can say is that you're a good man - don't know how I would handle it! Call on me anytime. You are in my thoughts and prayers often.

Sherlock, your post could have been written by me. I too just do not feel like cooking/smoking the way I did when Dad was here. Thoughts and prayers are with you as we both recover from a painful loss.

I too am glad to see you posting again. If you and/or Tiny need to get away for awhile, my home is your home.

Thanks for the offer, Wildcat. If you were say, 500 miles closer, I'd take ya up on that offer.

Thanks everyone. Still having trouble controling my emotions. I'm sorry this is not the place to air my problems. I will be back someday.

Sherlock,

ever since I have joined this forum and from minute one I felt that I am with special people who care and 100% unjudgemental. You would be safe here even if you decided to speak out about your problems.

Remember this, if you let it inside, it controls you. If you let it out, YOU control IT.
