Is this some secret messaging that I'm missing out on??

I'd say that's T-R-O-U-B-L-E...........

(You been hangin' around pool halls again, Wingnut?  )

I beg your pardon!

Are you saying the world would be a better place without Gary, Indiana??

Whatever will I sing about if it goes under?   :dx1:

"Everything's Up to Date in Kansas City..."

(Or to be more regionally correct: "Rocky Top, you'll always be, home sweet home to me!")

I was warning the Powers to be about some trouble right here in River City
The first big step on the roadTo the depths of deg-ra-Day--
I say, first, medicinal wine from a teaspoon,
Then beer from a bottle.
An' the next thing ya know, Your son is playin' for money
In a Romper suit.

Every single time we drive to St. Louis to visit our daughter, and I see the signs, I sing that song.

They've gone about as fer as they can go.


(I'm pretty sure that's not true about Rocky Top, TN.  :dx1:)

You would be amazed at how much I sound like Ronnie Howard when I sing that song!  Down to the last slurped sibilant.

And I sing it every time we drive though Gary................ when I'm not holding my nose.  ^-^

Next thing you know, you'll be teaching the kids about the "Think System" and parading around in a white band uniform....

Given that most of the leftist hellholes in our country are coastal or on the Great Lakes, I'm actually pretty OK with this...

160 foot rise wouldn't impact the Great Lakes.

So we've gotta take out Chicago some other way, eh?

The glaciers will wipe it flat again in the coming ice age...

I read that Venice was going to be under water in about 100 years.

Venice Italy, not California

But, that's because it's sinking.

That was my old Facebook avatar. I haven't been there since 13. The cardinal one made me miss my dad too much and I'm having a real bad problem with depression right now. It's almost crippling

So sorry, Freya.  How can we help?

I second Sanguine's question, Freya.

Please let us know how we can help you through this difficult time.

I think between two major surgeries and loosing dad, I'm just sad. Plus I've lost 104 lbs in a year so their are some minor albeit gross things happening to my body at present. 

Thank you @Sanguine and @musiclady

Well, we can certainly keep praying for you!

Losing a parent is a rough thing.   That all by itself can bring you down low.  When you combine it with the rest of what's been going on with you, it's really understandable that you're having a very hard time.

It may seem trite, but hang in there, and if you have someone you can trust to get some counseling, do so.  There are a lot of people here who care about you a lot, Freya.

You are precious!
