CHAT Dennis, be my friend tonight

Are you sure about that?
Helen, I don't know why you'd leave. If a particular conversation is bothersome, don't engage it. Very simple, ma'am. We have too much to be bracing for to have people like yourself dropping off this board. And I sure as hell don't think that banning you over a mildly heated conversation was on anybody's mind!

Please stay, but take a break if you must.

Helen wants out :eek:
If Cappy turns up with a shave & haircut I'm grabbing everything I can carry and heading for the bunkers ...

Pride comes before the fall.....Pride month ended.
I'm rarely at a loss for words, but I'm torn between the intellect and the physical panties.....I pray they don't part ways. The two comprise a package we all would love to open...wait, what....open a new thread that is, yah, that's it. Opening a day with panic sex lady just has something to it one can't just pin a spot on it, but you know it's there.

In all seriousness, you are a valuable asset to this forum. Don't leave us hanging.

Soon it won't matter who is vaxxed or unvaxxed, Mayfield KY and Edwardsville IL both learned that lesson the hard way.

All hands on deck, if you are able bodied and can help. And we will need everyone's eyes and ears, esp if a 1/3 of the nation is out of commission to report in.

Whatever goes first Cascades, New Madrid or La Palma, let's put labels behind us and save all humans who can be saved.

I love Helen like a a rock. It troubles me that most assume she is walking off in a snit.

Put aside your fantasies about panty-dropping women and consider what you actually know, guys. Helen is one of the most rational, level-headed, stable and informed individuals on this board. Set the smarmy jokes aside for the moment and respect Helen enough to take her seriously. If she is leaving, I rather doubt it's because she's having a bad run of feelz.

Perhaps she has determined that now is a good time not to be on certain lists.

Perhaps she has determined that now is a good time not to be on certain lists.

Then why not simply stop posting, maybe send a few PM's to members liked to let them know you're gone? Why make a big 'please ban now and don't let me back' thread that creates division?

She mentioned that a recently revoked membership had a big play to get banned and disassociated from the forum at the same time.

Well, switch on the 'puter, go to my favorite place, and this comes up. My sleep addled brain wonders what was just read.

Helen, I hope you're doing well. It's hard, but we gotta keep on moving forward.

Now, where's my coffee?

Helen likes her her drama. That's why she put up this 20 foot tall billboard on Main. She knows we have a thread in the Corkboard for goodbyes, yet chose this method. Basically, she wants a reaffirmation that people think about her and care about her. Since her husband passed, that's been a relatively common theme. I can't imagine what it must be like for her, being alone after most of her life spent with her true love.

Goodness before greatness.
It’s Christmas morning as I find myself reading this thread from 12/12/21. I didn’t recall helen posting in a while so I did my first successful search of her name. In the past those action parameters would say something to the effect of locked or disabled by member.

Hmmm.

Time. Ecclesiastics 23 comes to mind. It’s part of the surrounding verses that in all likelihood saved my life, half a lifetime ago.

“A time to mourn” where my first tears fell in a seven shot group in my KJV smaller than a dime at arms length that day in 1992.

Pain avoided must be confronted. A multitude of diversions only postpones healing. I really like helen. I don’t recall how long ago she lost her husband, but I do remember her sick in late July around the same time minkykat and I were.

Afterwards, with her immunity, she may have been compelled by her job and her responsibilities to others as a caregiver to vaXX up. That’s a table load of pressure for anyone; and especially for a bright minded loving and loyal individual.

From adamant to compliant in order to care for others comes at great internal sacrifice. Especially within the mourning period of loss of a love.

For some reason, I always had the impression helen did either research type lab work, or something similar, and may have had life experiences young that influenced that decision. Just impression-guessing. In all probability, I’m all wet in that aspect of profiling her. If it were the case, or even close, or off 10-mil’s at a mile, it might explain the nuisance of a trigger subject in conversation - or ‘recent post’ on the forum. Still… that is not to blame, as it is only one random domino in time and placement in this thing called life.

helen, prayers up for you. You seem like another friend I’d never have come across without the www. net.

So, much love, and Merry Christmas. Get back here by New Years or I’ll be doing toast with Luke-warm green tea, and well; it won’t be much fun.

Whatever it was, I missed it too.
We all need a break from the pressure cooker the world has become. I so identify. I was going to change my avatar the other day. Dear son deaf/blind complete with wiffle bat, on the pot is so fitting, I couldn't do it.
Humor will return--laughing at the irony is an important thing and far better than flipping off Californians. Gotta quit doing that. ;)

I still miss her postings. She had a way of explaining how serious things are but still in a less serious kind of way. I'm quite sure we are almost to the "white knuckle" part and I sure could use a bit of her wonderful encouragement. Helen, you are loved and missed!

Was she self-request removed, or banned?

If the latter--given what we're all facing---could the door be opened again?

If the former--given what we're all facing--Helen, would you come back?

The news is getting me in the mood for a cyber-group-hug-----------while we all still can

Helen left because the boss at her main job said, "No more social media."
This is not a job that she can afford to lose.

Mods: please consider locking this thread, or at least move it to the Corkboard.
