Yes everything is going good.
Good to hear. And welcome to BLF!
My uncle passed away this morning, a day after his 95th birthday. He had a great life and was only sick a couple of days before he died. It’s still depressing since he’s the last out of the “adults” to go.
My uncle and I way back in the mid 1950’s. I’ll miss him dearly.
It is a very good idea. Thanks for introducing it here everydaysurvivalgear. Depression is silent, and victims can slip away into the background unnoticed.
I can think of at least 3 people I have known who killed themselves, one from school, and two work colleagues. Andrew, Hazel and Dennis. All full of life at times, their problems not shared.
I have been on the brink myself a few times, first when I was 16 and didn’t feel like I had a life of my own, and more recently, when it felt like I didn’t matter. These days I am much more stable, but life can get you down very easily, a string of problems can suck the joy out of things without warning.
If anyone needs to chat I at least can say I understand how it feels to be at that point. So many people are quick to voice an opinion that is unthinking and makes things worse. What really matters is validation, having others understand and not feeling isolated.
Sorry to here Glenn!
He is in a better place now.
Did you scan some old family photos? Its good to keep them digital.
Thanks Chris. All my photos are scanned and backed up in the cloud and on external hard drives
Sorry for your loss.
Great picture and I would hope even better memories.
My Aunt’s Birthday was also yesterday. She would have been 96.She was a warm, kind and loving soul. Her and My Uncle never had kids,so me and my Brothers were a bit spoiled when we visited!
Thanks Wolfdog. Coming from a very small family, it hit me pretty hard even though he had a great life. He devorced many years ago and never had any kids. My mother’s twin sister lived in a home due to mental illness most of her adult life. Needless to say, she never had kids as well. So it’s just me, my sister, brotherinlaw, and 2 nephews that are left.
Sorry to hear of your loss @atbglenn 
While I have many people related to me, I have less than ten personal friends and family which are any real part of my life. When you lose one of those it hurts.
I’ve been slowly climbing out of the hole of depression. This episode has been another long one but I’m OK and slowly rebuilding life again. My best to all here on BLF!
Phil
My condolences Glenn.
My Dad’s birthday is in 10 days, he’ll be 89. I know he probably doesn’t have all that much time left and it’s a weight… feels so odd getting older myself and feeling like 30 yr olds are still kids. I can only imagine what the true elders must feel like, in these times.
Thanks for reminding me that I need to pester him and make him want to tear me a new one so he’ll feel young again… 
[think I’ll go mess with the electronic seat settings in his car now, maybe screw up the mirrors…oooh! I know! put the old dead cells back in his remote control!

actually you shouldn’t be banned, rather tracked closely
Argh politics here too…
Thanks for the welcome WD.
true holocaust wow. thats called war, what Hitler did had nothing to do with war. such an ignorant statement.
6 million Jews and about 1 million more people put to death…
WW2 atomic bombs killed 1/4 million people
Master of Puppets is a song about drug addiction. I got the nickname in high school of “master” due to I frequently wore the t-shirt of Metallica- Master of Puppets.
reasoning with a troll
makes as much sense
as punishing a masochist
Surely you are not talking about my last post. I merely wanted to explain my forum name, and distance self from politics.
only a moron would put lol after a figure of 10 million dead people, believe what you want, history says one thing, conspiracy nuts like you say another, I wont even try to argue with you and your agenda cause its obviously burned into your brain cells, have fun with your paranoia
I have a serious question. What is the point of joining a forum and spewing opinions that will ensure your tenure at that forum lasts less than a week? Without regard to the merit of your opinions and posts, surely you know you can’t last here. There aren’t many rules, but there are some. Why choose a flashlight sight? There must be somewhere on the Internet that encourages this type of discussion, but not here.
Thanks Phil. I wish you the best dealing with depression. I’ve been there myself. BTW, my uncle’s name was Phil
