deaflegacy's shoutbox - Help.com

Dear LazyDaze,

I am sending a shout to all my friends on help.com to tell them that I am closing my account on here. I don’t answer posts anymore and all I do is check my shouts. Help.com was a great benefit to me, but it’s time for me to move on. Thank you for being a friend to me on here. If you want to keep in touch, my regular e-mail is (email removed). If you ever need anything that I might help with, just let me know. Take Care and God Bless.

Friends,

David

So….

Hope you have a Fabtastic Christmas and new year!!!

Dear deaflegacy,

Hey there, I have put together a list of questions I thought I’d ask the people on my friends list to get to know them better. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. It’s just fun. Some of these answers I might already know, but I’m sending it to all my friends, and I know different things about different people. My answers to the questions are in parenthesis.

1. Real First Name (David)
2. Where were you born, where do you live now?
(Born-Norfolk, VA/Live-Amherst, VA)
3. Explanation of your profile name (skippi4-skippi is a nickname I got at a bar I used to frequent-the number 4 is one I like)
4. Why did you come to help.com (I came because of depression about my health)
5. Favorite Color (Dark Blue)
6. In 5 years, where do you want to be (I want to be teaching at a school)
7. Biggest fear (Spiders)
8. Biggest pet peeve (Traffic)
9. Biggest hope (Getting a new heart)

Friends,

David

You’re welcome.

Hi Kalaya,

I understand about how you’re feeling. Remember I know what you have been through in recent times. You don’t have to apologize, ok?

You hang in there. Its good you can find extra money for things you enjoy. We all need that in our lives. We can’t be all worry, stress and do without constantly.

Take care, ok? And stay in touch.
Jonetta

I’m sorry that I offended you.

Hi Kalaya,
Wow! Its been a long time since we chatted together. I’m so happy you have a job now. You’ll do good.

It sounds like now you’re life is faling into place & that makes me so happy for you. It wasn’t too long back you were stressing about a place to live and a job & now look at you.

I’m so proud of you. You stayed strong & didn’t give up & I so admire you for that Kalaya.

There will be your usual daily life stresses, but Kalaya, you came through some hard parts of life & I know whatever you face today, tomorrow, next year you can handle them all. I’ll always be here for you as a friend. If you ever need to talk & I’m not on here, then send me an e=mail, ok?

You take care & I’m so happy for you & proud of you.
Jonetta

Thank you for giving me the chance! :-)

I just wanted to say to you personally that I appology for offending you. I am very open to troubles others go through, as I have gone through many myself, as well as many people I have been close with. I welcome you to go through my previous replies that do not involve that other user, Im sure you will see that I have many good things to offer others. Thats why I come to this site.

Your very welcome, Kalaya. I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself and recharging yourself tonight. Have an excellent time. I’ll talk to you soon

Matt

Hi Kalaya,
I was just getting ready to log off & saw your reply on my post.

Wow! its been so long since we’ve talked. I saw your shout about your new place. Are you enjoying it? I’m so happy you got it all worked out & now you are all settled in.

How are things going otherwise? Hey, did you get your contacts taken care of? You have to take care of your eyes.

So nice to hear from you Kalaya

Hey Kalaya,
I was just reading your e-mail from several weeks back a little while ago.

I’m so happy you are settled in now & just take it easy & get used to your new place. How are you feeling about the move and all? And how are YOU doing?

I do hope things are getting better for you? Let me know how you are & tell me all about your new place, ok?

Thanks for the shout & update.
Jonetta

Okay. I’ll remember that cuz yes, we have Starbucks here too. In fact, there is one not far my home.

Thanks. Nice to hear from you.
Jonetta

Oh wow! I’m so happy for you. I’m glad you got it all worked out. Stay happy, ok? It helps make our problems easier to handle.

Take care

Oh wow! So nice to hear from you, my friend. How have you been and how are things going for you?

Thank you for the hugs cuz I need them. I send a special hug back to you also. I have really missed you, but I hope you have continued to help in my absence.

Take care deaflegacy. Stay in touch.

(((hugs you back))) (if you want it) :)

Happy Easter!

Hi Kalaya,

I wanted to ask you something. Would you mind sending me your e-mail address so that I can give it to Jonetta? She really misses you and wants to talk to you. You can e-mail me at mbeck-fronde @ comcast.net (Just omit the spaces, of course).

Thank you,

Fronde (Matt)

TAG!, your it. pass it on =)

Thanks for your support, Kalaya. I appreciate it.

thank you, you really are helping me through a rough time.

I’m ok now. God bless you, Kalaya.

Hi Kalaya. How are you? I love you.

Hi,
and you’re completely welcome. I never used this “shout” thing before, it was a nice surprise to see you wrote to me. It is nearly 5am for me, insomnia on top of everything else, of course.

Oh, and I’m alright, thanks for asking. How about you? It seems a shame we can’t exchange e-mail.

Hi.
I’m sorry it isn’t working out between the two of you. I reread some of her replies to you. Perhaps her sorrow is making her unable to hear what you’re saying. Mayber her hurt is getting in the way.

You’ve tried to make it right & to explain to her, but she still refuses to see your way. Don’t worry about it, ok? Let it go. You’ve tried & thats all you can do.

I hope everything else is working out for you, though. Don’t give up & don’t despair. Hard to do, I know, but I’m with you.
Take care.
Jonetta

Hi,
Thank you for your shout. Its so nice to be back. I’ve missed you & missed this site as well.

How are you & how are things going with you? Have you & HELPforallPEOPLE resolved your differences? I’d really like to know. I helped her that Saturday before I went into the hospital with her grief over her brother. She was kind & thanked me but then I read some of what she wrote to you in your post. It hurt me what she said, but I hope you and her have come to some sort of understanding between you. Let me know, ok?

You take care & thank you so much for your care, concern & prayers.
Jonetta

Hey you, Try not to take those posts serious. I usually just skip them.

Hi DL, How are you doing? If you wanna talk. I am available.

thank you for being happy for me =]

Thanks for the shout. Enjoy your coffee.

Its me again. I wrote a reply but it didn’t post it. I don’t know why. It says nothing mean. I don’t know if I have time now. I have to get going in a few. They moved my checkin time to 8 cuz my lawyer can’t get here till 7:30 so I’ll try again and reword some things. If not, well I tried, and you can reclose it. I’ll let you know, ok?

Can you remember exactly who wrote the post about suicide that you referred to. What is their aka? I want to make sure its the one who replied to you last or if it was a different person?

Why are you sad? Is it anything I can help you with? I’m only on here till 5:45 then I have to go.
I won’t be back on here til possibly mid-week. I’m having surgery early tomorrow morning but have to check into the hospital at 6.
So I’ll let you know when I’m back. Take care and thanks for helping me.

Thanks for reopening it.
I have something to say to her, and its not mean, but I feel its important. I want to say it on your post to her. Its going to take me some time to write it out so hang on. I want to do it before I get off here in bit.

Can you reopen your post about the lady who made the comments on suicide. I interacted with her yesterday and helped her with her feelings over her loss of her brother. I didn’t know she made that post.
I’d like to reply to her on your post what I feel.
Let me know if you will or will not open it for me to reply on? Thanks.

Welcome to help.com, my fellow Canadian!
:]

Yes I did and thank you very much for your kind words.

I volunteered with the Nat’l Kidney Foundation while I was pursuing my B.S. I got to know alot of patients with alot of handicaps caused by their illness.

The Director at that time left to be the Executive Director for the Oklahoma Dept. of Mental Health & Substance Abuse. He worked mainly in the mental health dept. as his son was diagnosed schizophrenic and bi-polar. His son committed suicide, and I always remembered how hard it was on Jeff. But from his son’s mental condition, Jeff reached out and went to work in that field and became a big advocate for mental illness.

I knew his son, and during the good days, he was so nice and caring and worked hard with his dad Jeff. Jeff loved him, and I know it broke his heart. Knowing them made me look at mental illness differently and working with the NKF also showed me how difficult life is for those with handicaps and mental illnesses. Those years taught me to have more compassion, because I saw how hard it is for those individuals and for their families.

I admire what I read in your profile, and I’m proud of you for your stance and not backing down from it.

Take care.

Hi again. No, I didn’t get your shout. You sent it to yourself…lol…I’ve done that before.

Yes, things are better today. I spend all day yesterday in bed just sleeping and read my Bible and prayed alot. I woke up today with a better frame of mind.

Thanks and you take care too. Hope things are going well for you.

Hey! I was born in Toronto, Ontario too!

I was in Ontario until I was 3 years old and I went to British Columbia with my mother. At that time, my parents decided to get a divorce. So right now, I’m still in British Columbia.

You have every right to be upset by Fronde’s reply. I would be upset too.

I really hope that things would get better for you.

Take care!

By the way, I was born in Toronto Ontario and lived there until I was almost 8 years old. We moved to the southern part of the states then to my maternal grandparents ranch. I go each summer to Ontario for 2-4 weeks. Where do you live in Canada?

I just saw you reply to my post about my accident. I know you don’t know me, but I’ve never been mean to anyone on this site. I try to help even I can’t give advice.

Did you read Fronde’s reply on that post? I let it hurt me at first, but then I got to thinking about how Fronde is as a person. He’s very hard and clinically cold in his replies. He doesn’t like me thats obvious.

Do you think he’s right? I tried to put a thank you reply on my post, because of all the replies, but the site won’t put it on until its reviewed on Monday. I wasn’t mean in it. I just stated how I felt.

My way of helping is with encouragement and positive support. I tell people when I can’t give advice because I don’t have the experience but that I just wanted to say hi and let them know I care. Fronde even put down my replies.

Am I wrong to be bothered by him?

Hi there, welcome to help.com :)
