Is this thread hobby-related? Perhaps it should end up in the litterbox since it's not....... Originally Posted by TryWeakly

TW,
lighten up, and watch the thread drift.

Lexie,
Thank you for reminding all of us, that friendships can occur anywhere.

So you went to a Catholic school....does that imply that you're "Catholic" ???

I would think that even though the nature of this board brings strange behaviors out of people, you would at least have some basic decency and act like a gentlemen. You want to get info like this, PM the person at another time, not on a thread of this nature. A little courtesy and respect go a long way, and you give what you get.

Lexi, sorry for your loss. Even though this is a business type relationship, we still develop friendships with certain people we deal with and feel a loss when they move on, or pass away.

Thanks for all the kind words, I seriously miss everyone back in Houston. I've found out years later that major people in my life died, for sure the worst. My friend and I communicated on a regular basis, I knew he was sick for a long time but always hoped for the best so it was still a shock. I found out by Googling him and discovered his online funeral, it was upsetting because I really didn't like the passages from the Bible his loved ones chose to read. I'm not an especially religious person, though I did go to Catholic school. I'm sure they did what they felt was right. This is the problem with making friends with those you can never truly know, but I don't regret a minute knowing this man.

Take care everyone. I hope to visit there again soon.

One thing people don't think of when you lose someone special is that you can't visit the funeral home, send flowers or a card, or just generally mourn, unless it's with close friends or friends within the hobby. No matter what you still must remain in the shadows. Outside of that, I hope everything else in your life and with your family is OK.

Thank you dear one.
