Icky I am so glad that you clicked on the continue button It takes a very strong man to give in to emotions.........an even stronger one to admit to them. You are a wonderful man, and you deserve all the sympathy and love that you can handle. You do so much for others, let others take a turn and embrace you. May you find peace my friend. Remember it is always darkest before dawn, and better days are coming. (((((((HUGS))))))) My love to you Lori  A dog will come when called, a cat will take a message and get back to you later.

Hey neighbor...  Ray, I am so sorry you are in so much pain right now. And I am so glad that you did click that continue button. You are such a wonderful person, and whoever the idiot that said "real men don't cry" was not a real man. Even Jesus cried. And he was the only perfect man to ever walk this earth. You are only human hun. And thankyou for sharing so much of yourself with everyone here. I don't know anywhere else in my experience where a person can come and share everything. The laughter along with the tears, and be so loved. This truely is a family. I am so thankful to be a part of this family, and very proud to call you one of my wonderful KickAS brothers. ((((((((Hugs))))))))))) Pam  "Just like moons and like suns, with the certainty of tides. Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise." Maya Angelou

I think we should pass a KA rule that requires you to start at least one thread a week. Last week your photograph brought some wonderful responeses and this may be the BEST thread I have read since showing up here. Why??? Well it is evidence that this is more than internet mumbo jumbo. SOmeone here,you, had a really shi*!#* day and someone else here, our very compassionate MrsKA was there to help. THen you shared something very personal. Anyone who thinks this is not a good place on the days where we get caught up in nonsense just remember that folks here are HERE FOR EACH OTHER when the whatever hits the fan. GOnna have to speak to the admin and BRUNO to compel you to start a thread every week. THink when I go to Canada to visit the ASKickers party gonna have Bruno pop by your place to convince you.  Hope you feel better soon. Start doing a lot of breathing exercises to keep your chest expansion good and maybe loosen up that pain.  stevec-they also serve who stand and wait

Hi Ray, I hope that you don't think that you are alone in feeling this way, my friend. I'm sure we all are one word, sight, or question from some extremly volitile emotions. Every single day, I go from feelings of strength and being able to take on the world to not feeling like anything is worth a thing, and I wonder why go on. I go through bigger overall cycles, but I can't remember a day when I didn't feel down in a hole at some point, and it is at these points where I am a word or sight away from balling. I can completly relate to your experience. Take care, it is a hard road we travel, and it would be desolate too if not for KA. Don't worry about having to rest for a while along the journey.  Take care my friend Daniel
Take care my friend,
I hope this finds you well,
Daniel

Oh Dear sweet sweet Icky, I am so glad that you posted your post. It takes a big man to do what you did and I am very proud of you. What some men don't do is ask for help when they really need it. It is a guy thing. They are men and they can handle any thing. Well you are men but you are also very human and you let the human side of you out. You need to do that it helps so much. I find a good cry help easy up some of the stress. Unforuntly it does not help with pain or help us get our life back. But it does help for the here and now. I told my mother in-law I was tired of crying and she told well just stop. It is not that easy and to tell you the truth after reading your post I am not sure if it is good for me to try to stop. You body knows how it can help you let things out. It is better to do it the way you did than to do some thing dum. Just remember we all love you very much and are always here for you. ALWAYS! Oh and if you will send me your msn address I will put you on my list so I know when you are on and I can talk to you too. Take care my good friend and God bless you. I love you but God loves you more. Hugs, Donna 
 Love comes in all shapes and sizes

Hey there Ray! What a sweet message, thank you  . But I have to tell you the pleasure was all mine. It felt like we were talking for 10 minutes, but I got off of the phone and it was an HOUR later! How did that happen? It was so nice to speak with you last night - I've been thinking alot lately about why it is so nice to speak to other ASers. When things are bad with my disease I cant find the words to talk about it with my family. Literally! I just dont have the vocabulary to discuss it. I feel like placing my hands over my ears and running away. Yet, I was able to put sentences together on the phone with you last night - and with all of you here. What is the difference? I wonder if the difference is in the things that arent said. The way that each nuance of the disease DOESNT have to be describe. The pitying glances that ARENT given. The COMFORTABLE silences. I'm not really saying anything new here - just restating that it's nice NOT to be alone. Anyhow Ray, I'm very glad that you 'let the cat out of the bag'. The first ever Winnipeg ASKicker's Meeting  --- I know it's short notice, but everyone is welcome!!!!  I'm looking forward to meeting you and Carol on Wednesday night - you'll get me all warmed up for Toronto partying  . Jeanna  MADE IN CANADA
