Abbey
Spork Queen
Below is an email that I received from Blondie. She said it was ok to post. She's having posting problems. For those of you who don't know Blondie, she is the loving sis of Pico, who was a very prominent person on this board years ago. We all as a board family watched as Pico became ill and her venture to find a home for her two boys. She, unfortunately died of cancer.
Us oldies remember decorating her Christmas tree right before she passed...lots of cards, and a star in the sky.
Abbey!
Sweetheart, it is so great to hear that someone out there still remembers /even thinks about me from time to time, you just can't know. Means more than you'd ever believe. *snif*
We've had a series of, erm..."Stuff". For what seems centuries.
I have tried multiple times to log onto the CD Board in recent months but the last time I was able to manage it (and still not sure quite how I did????!!) was shortly after the Board had changed administration. To, I believe, a member named Cherie? (If I recall accurately, which may be dubious....).
So I can read but not post which is most frustrating, and none of the "fixes" I have tried have "Fixed" anything yet. SO I don't know what's best to do -- Re-register (auggh, the idea! lol; remebber all the different times over the years that we' ve all had to re-Reg because the Board crashed, or was re-vamped, or some techie-type stuff happened? lmbo !
)
Oh lordie that suddenly made me feel a thousand years old.
Pico's boys. Aahhh, there's a story.. ~sigh~ And a longish one.
They are both alive. For which thank God, Allah, and all the saints. And they are both/each goofballs (of two entirely different sorts, with a mutable area of overlap) which is having some fairly destructive fallout. Some of it on me (i.e.: Phone calls from creditors at all hrs and from bewildering places of "business", bc Tobe (elder, now 22 (!!!!) has put my name as a reference and my UNLISTED ph # on some dodgy financial transaction/credit app.... Yup. had lotsa those. The boy does not "get" financial management any more than his beloved mother, God bless her, did; but he's goofy with it, and she never was.
Jess (aka Fuzz, the younger) has pretty much disappeared and only surfaces when he's feeling like Mr Big Stuff or, more infrequently, when he has well and truly f88ked up and cannot keep it under wraps any more. To wit, he has moved about 50 miles away & last I heard (Tobe & I went out to lunch one day in Oct) he was in deep financial doodoo his own bad self.
Course, he thinks he's a cross between James Dean, Johnny Depp, and The Rock (or maybe a much younger Steven Seagal??) so admitting that he has screwed up is still a hard one for him because very little is EVER his fault, y'unnerstand. lol difficult child General Principle #1 pretty much, eh?
My own tribe are a whole 'nother thang. Or several. As is husband.
Am not doing well health-wise so that is problem one reason I've not exercised as much effort as I should-- and wanted - to, in trying to re-join Our community. I have been out of hospital this time for a bit less than 2 wks and have some v painful broken ribs etc, blah, yadda yadda.
I love you, Deb. Thank you for thinking of me. I am so lonesome sometimes I think I'll just pretty much die.
But ya know what Sis & I used say: "Life *****!....and then you DON'T die!!"
Heh. (You had to know Pico's humor with that statement.)
I have been following the tribulations, progresses, & setbacks of the "Old Guard" from time to time on the Board and feeling so badly that I am not being a proper supportive help and friend and listening ear to them, especially; let alone of course the hordes of 'newbies" who have joined us since I've last frequented the Boards as a valid contributing community member.
I Miss My Home. :*(
Love,
Blondie
P. S. Yes. Of course you may post this, or fwd it to the old-timers, or just as you like.
Gratefully,
The Blonde One
