This thread is dedicated to the friends I have found at GFY the last 3 years since I came back.
L-Pink, Mister Peabody, CaptainHowdy, CD Smith, Spunky, even Serge and several more.
Off the top of my head, JFK was always a gentlemen and is a good guy. garce is a cool guy. I remember still when we had our discussion about Sweet Baby James one night when things were real.
sometimes late when things are real
for my favorite guitarist
ADG is the best and we had some fun times.
Thanks for the great posts you always made.
Sleazydream was kind to me when I needed it. I think I called him Sleazybear a couple of times
I had just posted my tv themes thread and as usual in the end felt like it was a waste of time, when he suddenly gave my mad props. That meant a lot. Thanks.
MP and LP were very kind to me when I needed it. Thank you guys. I will always feel indebted to you for your kindness. And a guy named Gabe was there to offer help even tho I never met him. Real nice guy.
MP, I owe you about 6 paragraphs
but I'll just say thanks for being one of the first around here to be my friend. We had some great times.
Love ya buddy.
LP, ditto. Love ya buddy
And baddog came out for one of the funnest times I had. When he posted so many great pics in my outlaw thread. Thanks buddy. That meant a lot. I had a lot of fun there.
I almost died one night of a nose bleed I could not stop. This was just days before Lucky was attacked. I came to GFY and 3 guys were there. That means more than anything to me. Porno Jew was there as was Spunky and MP with words of support.
In the end all we will have is our few true friends. I consider all of you best friends forever. bff
Thank you for always being kind to me.
I hope we had a few good times. I know I did. I think our lives are more than webmastering and who has the most traffic or who is the biggest baller. Hopefully I added something to your life as you did to mine.
I am in my prime mentally. But this is really a young man's board. I cant escape my age and experiences which are becoming irrelevant due to age.
As I approach double nickles in January it is prob time for me to move on.
I don't want to look like a fool out here. Or anymore like a fool than I already do. lol
Time will take everything we have including all our possessions and all our friends. But it can't take the memories we had.
and i dont believe in time
I lost both my best friends this year. My mom, aged 95 and Lucky, my cat since 2000. It shook me up and made me look at life differently.
I got so much love and support when I lost Lucky. Not one negative comment.
3 pages of love - 122 posts - 1145 impressions for Lucky.
All of these people are my friends forever:
Thank you ALL for your kindness:

I remember that terrible night. I posted and Warchild was there with the first good advice. When it really mattered, you were there. Thank you Warchild.
One minute I posted about our first frost on 9-15. An early hard frost. Remember that? I posted a screenshot of the weather. That frost, that abnormally early frost, jumbled up and shuffled the hand of fate and put Lucky on a course for disaster.
It was 3am on 9-15. I had just posted the screenshot above of the first frost in central MN. Lucky was inside laying down. At 6 am I let Lucky out as I always did 10,000 times before.
He had come in during the night as it was cold out. 24 hours later I was on my knees placing his stiff body into the ground that my friend had dug the hole for and on my friends property near his two dogs he had lost incl one dog this year as well.
Apparently in retrospect some other cat had bit him in the neck and latent FLV killed him rapidly. His body could not defeat the infection that a healthy cat would have.
I watched him die in the car on the way to the vet. I had no minutes on my phone and about $4 to my name. Literally. It was absolutely the bottom in my life.
He died about two mins after we went into the car. I was going to the vet dead broke. He gave me one last gift. He saved me $200 or more I would have owed by dieing before the vet as they would have certainly euthanized him. To watch him die was crazy. He went quick tho. Within two seconds which I am very thankful for. I did not realize he was that bad.
Sometimes I dont want a new cat as I dont ever want to feel the pain I felt again. But I know that is how life is.
Two people wrote me. I should prob not say who but thank you both. You know who you are. The kindness you showed me during my darkest hour, I will never forget.
I still dont have a new cat. Waiting till I can afford one
lol which is pretty sad huh.
I should at least have enuf money for a vet if I need one.
But soon I will be able to afford a new little guy.
I kept news about mom quiet as I thought that was best. But taking care of her the last few years and watching her die was very hard and changed me.
It was a very painful year. Thank you all for making it a little bit better and for your kindness. Maybe you can understand why I escape to music to sooth me.
I know they say never say goodbye around here but if I dissapeer I want you all to know..
I had the time of my life.
Thank you to GFY for building and managing the platform. It really helped me this year.
You all were very nice and treated me very well.
Thank you.
for mom
we dont have tomorrow but we had yesterday
for Lucky
I always thought, for some reason, I would never take you in for the final vet visit as i did to every other cat I had and i was right buddy.
As Bill8 told me, "he lived his life like a cat, and died like a cat." You were right Bill. This is how a cat is supposed to live. Free. That was the best advice I received in that thread. And really comforted me. Thank you sir.

lucky and i walked along
under branches lit up by the moon
posing our questions to owl and eeyore
as our days disappeared all too soon
lucky wandered much further today than he should
and he can't seem to find his way back from the woods
so help me if you can, i've got to get back
to the house at pooh corner by one
you'd be surprised, there's so much to be done
count all the bees in the hive
chase all the clouds from the sky
back to the days of lucky and me

I love you. Thank you for reading all this. My best to you and yours.

dnull wanted to see some pics back then so here we go. Seeing as how he was among the top posters in my thread as well. Along with MP and Tjeezers. Also thanks Tjeezers and dnull for your comforting words.
This is Lucky. An American Breed. He was about 3-4 at this time.
I recieved eviction notices three times due to this cat and also was puched in the face once as he was running in my asshole neighbors yard.
He was a cat's cat. Prob killed at least 1000 birds/rodents. I mean it was a blood bath around here. I also saved prob around 1000 birds/rodents. I am sorry if that doiesnt sit well with some but this is the country and out here cats run free.
Still he had natures Karma against him after all that. Live by the sword, die by the sword I guess.
He loved being outdoors. In the winter he would sit for hours at the cat window I had for him with his butt in the heat and his face in the air.
I left the window open year round regardless of heat loss just for him. Also when I left home the window was open so he could get out if an emergency. Regardless of heat loss.
He would follow me if I went for a walk. Here he wants to get up and come to me.
This one was the hardest. All the other cats I said goodbye to. Never had the chance with Lucky.
He was Lucky for me tho and I was lucky to have him.
I loved him and he loved me.
Love ya Buddy
Thank you. My best.
