Thank you for both the compliment and the good advice. Given that the Emmies have now been canceled, I may do just that. Listening to the news just makes me more depressed. Being depressed makes me want someone to hold me and tell me that everything will be alright. That makes me look at my life and realize that I don't have anyone to do that for me. This, of course, makes me even more depressed. It's a vicious cycle. A little life affirming playfulness might be exactly what I need. -- Eddie Pedantic Gasbag Discussion Group

In reply to: spoot 's message, "Dear Lori-Lib what a wonderful poem and how true! These destroyers are filled with hate and darkness and so can do nothing with their lives but spread pain and death. But we defeat them with our own spirit of unity and assistance to the wounded and suffering and with our indomitable courage and our undaunted dreams. But do not think that the tragedy of Sept 11 makes laughter and comedy out of place. It is the antidote to tragedy and a necessary balm. Go watch that Eddie tape and let his gentle life affirming playfulness wash over you!" on 13:54:00 10/06/01 Sat

Hi Lori Lib, great to see you about, and lovely poem btw. Though I can't replace the person that you yearn to have hold you, please know that I care for you and your well being, and think of you often sending warm wishes your way. And I agree with spoot, go watch Eddie, and fill up with laughter and love for that lovely being. (NT) -- BZC comedy is vital right now to help us along..., 22:11:59 10/07/01 Sun
- Hi Lori! I remember you!! Great poem!Eddie really is a tonic and has the knack of bonding people into deep friendships. I went thro a lonely stage before I became surrounded by Izzardites...Who are all good at hugging, by the way. A Signigicant Other will probably turn up when you stop looking, corny, but true!!MWxx (NT) -- Lots of love from Mysterywomanxxxxxxx, 14:07:04 10/08/01 Mon
