Are you okay?

Your perspective is so unique, mimi. No one can add what you bring here. However, if you've gotta go, you've gotta go. I'm sure everyone agrees that you'll be most welcome should you decide to return at some point down the road.

I'll miss you.

Peace to you.

please stay in touch, and please come back as soon as it feels right. Love, Peace, and Happiness to you and your family.

in the past, and/or concerned about getting a bit too attached to online activities--making you feel as though you need to take a break. Thankfully, you've always come back.

So, here's wishing you a nice break and respite--look forward to seeing you again, down the road.

(Hopefully, in the not too distant future--you know you can't stay away during the entire 2020 election cycle. )

As Janis said over at the Photography OT not too long ago, quoting ol' Tom Bodett, the Motel 6 spokesperson--

"We'll leave the light on for you . . ."

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive.

Is not necessarily a bad idea. But I am very sorry to hear you are feeling blue and isolated. Perhaps you might want to look into meet up groups based on similar interests? I don't know what the equivalent is in Germany, but my Sister has met some lovely people through her meetup.com theater group.

Also if you like to cook and are willing to host people interested in German food, or if you would rather be an "ambassador" on behalf of hosts that do not speak English, here's a company that is looking for both: https://www.travelingspoon.com

We'll be here when you come back, but the meantime, please take care of yourself.

Take it easy and be good to yourself.

You’re important to all of us here.

Hello mimi if you ever ever want to think about returning to the US, it is probably a good idea to stfu about politics in public right now, because fascists are the new data collectors. thanks obama

Not a gbcw but I decided I am not a public/private kinda gal, so I turned off Private Messaging and what you see is what you get here. Still, I got a couple of messages anyway and today I finally read them (waves hi to all). There is no "private" me anymore, I am a public radical bitch letting it all hang out. But I also know when I am not wanted, and why go where you're not wanted?

I'm next! The disabled are next, as far as cutting off support and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Because facebook and twitter arguments spike dopamine, and "if you're not on facebook, you're nobody" says jimmy dore to his half million "followers" jhfc good luck.
Nothing stays the same, except the UniParty but I digress...

Yesterday at the laundromat I met the "pink bike lady" I used to see her on the river path all the time until her chain broke. I still don't know her name but now I know she raised four sons here and they are all marine corps veterans. semper fi what could I say? They are struggling and so am I. same same
Her and I, we are both on the verge of homelessness because the D-Values economy is so fucking great for the poor in California, already great. Even Bernie says there are too many poor people trying to come here, that is how fucking great it is. Pink Bike Lady told me he is a communist, and we agreed to not vote for him. lol After that we didn't talk about voting, but where are we supposed to live? Nobody knows. Nobody 2020.

PEACE
merry meet and merry part

However, if, as some on the thread believe, you are depressed, please reach out to someone IRL. Or maybe volunteer. Nothing helps me more. And, no matter what, certainly find sources of smiles and laughs.

Keep well. If you can stop by and say "Hi" every once in a while I think we all would feel better. Thanks for being here.
