Very confusing.
I'm pretty sure that whenever you reply to everyone in a group text there is never any words or anything. I get the text notification and see it's from you, but there is nothing there, I'm not sure if you're trying to attach something or it just some kind of odd shtick. Either way, I giggle every time.

Greatest schtick ever if true
I'm unreasonably sad about Saints-Man. I thought shiny was fantastic but had no personal interaction with him. S-M, on the other hand, reached out to me at some bad times and was just a dear, dear person. And 49 freaking years old. Absolutely, completely unfair.So yeah, reading some craziness from someone else who is a good person isn't doing it for me, either. :(You're right.I'm not sure this is going to help.Please, please post.

You're not accepting new PMs, btw.Well, I didn't quit drinking.
Jeebus he was a nice guy. Like not wallflower nice, but reached out to PM people or FB message them whenever he thought you needed encouragement nice. I wish I had invested more in getting to know him. One day a couple years ago he PMed me about some philosophical b.s. I had written in a draft thread, and he wanted to use it as his sig. I'm pretty sure I was drunk when I typed it, but he totally took it to heart like he was gonna make it his manifesto.I feel pretty crappy because I really didn't know about the Katrina stuff.
No house to live in NOLA. Mine was flooded with three feet of water, effectively making the house unlivable. I lost all my flooring and other damage. The insurance money paid off the mortgage, which the mortgage company required(I have no problem with that). I applied to Road Home, and so far I have been denied. I am still fighting them, but they are only giving up inches when I need yards. Unless I can get them to budge, my liquid savings are insufficient to rebuild the house in New Orleans. The last time I checked the entire zip code(70122) was considered blighted so mortgage companies were not lending money to properties in those areas. If you didn't have the cash, you can't rebuild.Lots of conflicting issues with that.You still in NOLA? I notice your profile says DallasI have endured all else with Katrina. That is the one things that still gives me heartache.This is freaking awful.None. I don't have any to share. I lost all my pictures in Katrina.What % of those PMs are for pics?
All my pictures of my parents: Gone.
All my pictures of high school and hs cheerleading: Gone.
All my pictures of Pochahontus and Saints-Man: Gone.
All my pictures of those college girls I escorted to various functions: Gone.
All my wedding pictures, which is a snapshot of my family and friends in a moment in time: Gone.

First time in this place that I really wish I'd reached out and told the guy how much I appreciated him. Reading that thread, and his FB page, you can see just what kind of guy he was. You notice that you have everyone in that thread regardless of political affiliation, "clique", or anything else?
Yeah, there would be a lot more CAPS LOCK.90% sure a cat didn't write this.I'm not sure this is going to help.Please, please post. I/we need it.I received another e-mail today from my friend's cat.

I haven't probed too deep, but it sounds like SM might have been battling an illness for quite some time.19 days older than me.
This really is an excellent point.There was some terrible movie with Michael Keaton years ago where he was dying and decided to document himself through videos to his kids. It was treacly and terrible in any way you could imagine, but somehow I was touched because I just wished I could have that from my father. Now it wouldn't be necessary at all, would it? That's pretty damn cool.Suck it, stranger.
This would be great if I knew whose alias this was. :(
I'll go with OY/BK
Follow the clues...
There's something to be said about the people here who participate pretty much at face value. There are very, very, few of them. I know I'm not one. Saints man was.I'm going to offer this, hopefully you understand it not as a "look at me" moment but as a "that resonates with my feeling" moment. I lived in Ireland for six months in 2006. In 2009, I returned for a bachelor party. I went to the bar where I had been a regular, and had a grand old time. At one point we started trading 2006 stories - remember when we played rugby with Shane's shoe?, remember when we locked Connor out at 1230 that night?, etc. I don't remember the particular story but someone said, cheers to Mike Donahue. And I happily asked, hey where IS Mike?! Of course, the room went silent, and they told me he died in a house fire the year before. And the thing is, I didn't know Mike well, but I knew who he was. He was one of the guys at the bar who always said hello. Always gave me the nod and lifted his drink to acknowledge me. All told, we probably only had four substantive conversations, how ya been, he would ask about my schooling, I would ask about his work as an electrician. I guess the point is, there is something so sweet about being from away and having someone who is local acknowledge you. That's what makes a community. Saints man was one of those. Face value, welcome in. Lifted his drink to say hey. Part of the reason why this place is special. I can't say I got a personal message from him, but I didn't really need to. Him just being him was ... yeah.Cheers Ralph. Godspeed.19 days older than me.

I just read the first part, didn't see your bolding, and thought, "Damn, I KNOW that movie was not called 'Egghead'."
