thanks for trying but I really don't think anyone on here can really cheer me up right now

:fluffle: :fluffle: Tink

Cheer up, tink!

Hey tink,

I don't know what's up, but I sure hope you feel better soon :)

Fluffle 4 j00 :fluffle:

sorry, just thought i'd try to help :) :(

Hey, cheer up Tink. You didn't have Category 3 cyclone passing within 115 KM of your home city today/last night.

:)

Waz the problem?

Tink,

I could send you a clip of The Singing Penis.*

It might not make you feel better, but it cracks me up every time.





*No, not MY penis (I'm a girl) nor that of anyone I know...

my ex walked past my house with his new, really pretty girlfriend (i'm sure on purpose) and then I just realised that tomorrow should be my mum and dad's wedding anniversary so now I'm upset about that too

Shit happens. My g/f left me for my now ex-best friend. If he's that much of a jackass, then he wasn't worth it. As for the anniversary... my condolences

it's more the anniversary thing anyway, i miss my dad so much

So he walked past the house of his old, really pretty girlfriend. I know you won't feel like hearing this right now, and it probably won't help because you'll probably think I'm talking BS when you're feeling down, but you're beautiful, and on top of that, you're a really nice person (from what I've seen). And she'll be really threatened by you - hell, I would be.

i'm sorry Tink :(

I think that this thread shows that loads of people care about you. I'd ake advantage of that if I were you. it's hard to get that sort of companionship alot of the time

I know how you feel. It's getting close to my daughter's birthday and I usually go into a slump when I think about her. Do what I do...think about the good stuff that happened because of them. Also, your ex's new girl friend may be beautiful, but she is also dumb as a rock...she's stuck with him isn't she? You're lucky!! You have PM!!

yeah Tink, while i can't understand how you feel, just try not to think about missing him (your dad, not your ex...), think about the happy times you had with him :)
cheers me up when i miss my parents anyway...

thinking about the good stuff doesn't help, it just makes me realise what I'm missing out on now. As for PM, if I had someone like him in RL I wouldn't be whinging about my ex

Yup...I lost both of my parents by the time I was 24, but I love to remember all the good memories of them. It keeps them with me...my daughter too. Once I gave up meat for Lent, so Mary made me a veggie lasagna. Instead of meatballs, she put in brussell sprouts. Mary was so unique!! Maybe you and your Mom could do something together tomorrow and make that date special for an additional reason?

Where do you guys live? Maybe you could work on a face-to-face meeting. I'll open my home up to you guys to meet...foods good and the neighbors mind their business.

Isn't it a good thing that she has found someone she cares about? Your dad wouldn't want her to be alone and sad, would he? Maybe some time in the next year you can talk to her about how you feel, and ask if you 2 can't make plans to spend that day together. She probably isn't aware of how much you are grieving.

of course it's good, his kids are great (all 5 of them) and we've known them all for years, since before I can remember, I know she still loves my dad, she still carries a pic of him in her purse, I'm happy for her and we still do stuff together all the time but I don't feel like I can talk to her about my dad cause I don't wanna upset her

Doesn't seem to be such a big problem. I tought someone had died or something. I don't even know my parents wedding anniversary.
If your unhappy, you just need to think about two things: floating breasts.

I wish I was you. :(

lol, opposite ends of the country

which country?? Aren't you British? I live in the Little Rock, Arkansas, USA area so it would be like a trip abroad...hillbilly style!

Did yo ever consider that she doesn't talk to you about your Dad because she thinks it may upset you? Almost every time our family gets together, someone brings up Mary and how much we miss her being there with us. Then someone else will bring up something funny or kind or just so typically Mary, and we're laughing and talking about all the good times she was in the middle of. It helps more than anything else to deal with the loss of a loved one.

well my dad is dead actually :eek: WTF!!! when did that happen... last I heard you had he moved out to the farm, and he was going to buy a car... :(

Oh God... I'm sorry to hear you lost your father... :(

Nothing!! But if someone wanted to go on vacation somewhere that is most unlike Britain, I can't think of a better place than Arkansas. Talk about a cultural difference....whew!

she does bring him up sometimes but I hate crying in front of her, I feel like when I'm around people I have to be all happy and stuff and leave the crying to when I'm on my own, so I just change the subject

its not good to do that, keeping your pain inside can lead to much worse things than feeling a little embarassed infront of someone. believe me, i've been there, and since i finally talked about it and let it all out i've been getting better and better :)
its always worth talking about it, besides i'm sure your mum would appreciate being able to talk about it too

lmao, u hillbilly! As for Tink... I know what it's like to lose close family. My aunt recently got diagnosed with cancer, less than a year after she got married. I'm sorry for you

Tink...PM is 100% right on this. Crying is an honest reaction we ALL have to strong emotions. There is nothing wrong with crying, and sharing a good cry with someone is very comforting. Shared pain is lessened. My ex and I talk once a week to make sure we're each doing OK, and we almost always have a few shared tears over our girl. No matter what else has gone on between us, that is one bond that we will always have and cherish.

lmao, u hillbilly!

Yes I am...wanna count my toes? Three on each foot. Means I'm one of the more evolved hillbillies. ;)

Tink, why are you sad? I'll cry for you. See I'm crying now. :(

No, I've been crying nonstop since I started new medication. Pathetic really. :(

By the way, my dad has 9 toes, one eye, and an eye patch. :p
Well actually he has one real eye and one fake eye. He can take it out. Very weird to see!

Let's all cry together.... :(
yeah, that'll really cheer me up :(

Tosses a zen Lei around Tink's neck.

hey... how bout you and your mom make leis and decorate your father's grave with them... maybe it might help you and her get through the Anniversary...

he was cremated and she's getting through it without me in Austria on the slopes

Nothing like a bit of retail therapy to chase the blues away!

he was cremated and she's getting through it without me in Austria on the slopesthen you do it... I'm assuming the ashes are with you?
if not, find a suitable "replacement" a tree, or if you have something of his, then wreath it with the lei.

i said on about page 2 i think

then you do it... I'm assuming the ashes are with you?

he has a plaque at the crematorium, i'll probably go tomorrow, can't afford a lei or flowers though

(especially because of the last part)

Lifes tough, I've found that out more times than I can count and I will find it out again and again, I know that. I've had dissapointment recently, but I know that things will get better, they always do, just have to keep looking for that ray of hope, I'm sure you have one ray, I do and its what keeps me going. :)

Don't tell her life's tough! :rolleyes:
She needs love, compassion, and nuturing. :fluffle:

It's very hard to make me unhappy, but I bet the guineapig song on albinoblacksheep (may not post the link) could cheer most people up. It always makes me laugh and I don't laugh easily. On the other hand, I seem to be the only one who likes it.

my ex walked past my house with his new, really pretty girlfriend (i'm sure on purpose) and then I just realised that tomorrow should be my mum and dad's wedding anniversary so now I'm upset about that too
I don't even know him, yet I can say with absolute, 100% certainty that your ex is a totally insane wanker! :D

I know expressing my sorrow won't do anything, Tink, but i cant do anything else.

there's nothing i can do to fix a broken heart, or fill in the space in your life that your father's love filled.

cry.

cry until the tears go away.

it worked for a child that lost all his forfathers before they turned 40, and almost lost his dad to two heart attacks.

No it's not if it brought a smile to Tink!! This is the cheer Tink up thread so put away your sad stories, stop your pity party, and let's have a fun party!! Tink, you're NS's favorite party girl....so you get it started. What kind of music, food, decorations, and drink do you want at your party? :D

That's not inappropriate. Come on LP. A nice lay is what you need sometimes. Don't take this advice anybody. It's not encouragement of any kind.

I am sure that Tink knows I meant she should accept a necklace of flowers (lei'd) and that I would never suggest she get laid. :eek: :D

Yes, a lei is exactly what we all need. Perhaps a Hawaiian-themed party?

So pull the fuse or flip the circuit breaker to the outlet he has his guitar plugged into. Then look as innocent as possible. Can you use sources from the internet for your research?

some people really do suck

some people really do suck

Yeah...but maybe for reasons that we don't understand. They hurt themselves more than anyone else. Best to match them with kindness...you'll either win them over or run them off.

The Smiles To Be Found

Sometimes you feel
Like just fading away,
Slowly flickering out
Day by day.

And sometimes you feel
Like just ending the pain,
Giving up
Instead of struggling in vain.

But there is always a reason
To carry on shining bright,
To solve all your problems
And find the strength to fight.

And there is always someone
Who will turn your world around,
Who will look inside you
And see the smiles to be found.

Dont give up

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the cloud of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It’s when things seem worst you must not quit.

"One day the sun will shine on you, turn all your tears to laughter. One day your dreams may all come true, one day the sun will shine on you."

"Hold on, if you feel like letting go. Hold on, it gets better than you know."

"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow"

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us"

"Light shines even in the darkest of places"

~~~~~~

I know you're finding things hard right now but you can get through this.

It probably means nothing but I'm sorry about your dad. There's nothing I can say to take away the pain but I promise the hurt you're going through will ease and you will be able to keep him in your heart while moving on. He wouldn't want you to be unhappy and while you can't help it you should make the most of your life.

I know that you feel like you need to be strong and stay happy but trust me, things will never get better unless you can open up and talk about things. No-one expects you to be able to deal perfectly with this. You need to share things with your mum. I can promise that it will make both of you feel better to help each other rather than see each other suffering in silence. Let it bring you closer together.

Try and think about the positives. Remember that you had a dad who loved you. That you have a mum who loves you. That you have friends who love you. I know everything good seems to become meaningless but you have to try your best to see that there are things to smile about from small things like the taste of chocolate to big things like your friends.

Take some time to be sad, to reminisce, to remember. Take a bath, wallow a bit and cry if you want to. Then once you've let it out, get on with your life, keep busy and keep smiling.

Take care :)
