Hi Pen,

Don't know you at all so really can't comment. But just want you to know one thing. Many people have been and will probably go where you have been and are right now. (myself included) And like yourself these people have got through and passed there issues the hard way. This will pass and I hope you have all the support you need. But I would still like to send you a big hug from Australia. Warm and kind thoughts to you.

I'm sending a big hug your way Dale. I might send you a card to say hello.
(((((pen)))))

O.K. dear Pendragon, I'm glad the dark clouds cleared and you found the strength to put down your gun. I wondered about your state of mind; your poetry lately has been especially dark. I'm glad your alive, I'm glad you're glad you're alive, and I know your whole family is weak-kneed with relief that YOU ARE ALIVE. May God be praised for this small mercy.

I'm glad you feel you have a better doctor. It is absolutely imperative that you have a good one. Because you have a long walk in front of you and we want to get you to a grand old age.

Be well, and know that you are loved.

Oh Pen, my heart just dropped into my stomach. You poor soul. Thank God you didn't do it. I don't know what else to say but that my heart and my prayers go out to you. May God bring you peace. Let's hope this new doctor helps. I will write to you.

I don't know what to say except I am glad you didn't go thru with it.

Glad to hear you're hanging in there. I hope you get a good hold on things before cool weather comes in, Iknow things get harder then. You'll be hearing from me, Dale.

I'm glad you didn't do it. If you meet your friend again, say thanks for being there for you from me. I'd love to say more right now and speak wise words of comfort but I'm afraid I can't think of anything to say now, except: don't ever think of trying that again, okay?

Stick around Dale; I could use a pen pal.

I'm sorry to hear about your suffering, Pen. It must be a terrible place to be, to think that death is the only choice. I hope your new doctors can help you, and that you feel better soon. Take care, fifth (((HUGS))).

Well,I'm sure that there are many people who are glad that you did not kill yourself.you may not know me,but I am a 13 year old child,and I have saved others and been saved from suicide.it really does feel odd.no one saved me,but just before I made the fatal cut(I do not own a gun)I realized all the people that this would hurt and that it really wasn't worth everyones pain.I also saved 2 of my friends from doing it.I have no idea why they were doing it.it seems that the latest thing over here for teens is to try to kill yourself and it really makes no sense to me.what do you think?

I have no idea... Looked funny to me also.

Hehe. It's Arkansas, actually, but I can just almost see Missouri. How'd you get that blue?

Yeah, that's right, you are from Missouri. I didn't think of that or I might have called the actor "Eustis Arnold."

It's a great story and some really cool facts, Pen. I wish you had left it in the contest. Crap! I just realized I never voted. I have to look and see if the one I was going to vote for won. Anyway- It's interesting to me. My great grandmother used to tell stories about how the James boys would rest and water their horses at their farm and he would give the children silver dollars.

Aww, Pendragon, I'm so sorry to hear that - when things go poorly, they truly go very poorly. It's a shame when people are so flippant with other people's things.

That's beautiful.

I agree with you 99%, Pendragon. In this case it's not the gun that needs to be locked up. Sure we need to keep our guns in a safe place, but where do we keep stupid people? WOW!! It's so ridiculous that it's almost funny!! They ought to take the poor lawn mower away from this guy and give it to someone more deserving...and then give him a pair of scissors...(safety scissors, mind you!!)...and tell him that he still has to keep his lawn looking nice!!

How can we laugh at Bush's mistakes and not even smile at Obama's.

I thought of that very same thing. Do you honestly believe the media is fair?

I can't see anything in there to possibly offend. He did screw up reciting the oath (actually so did the Chief Justice in reading it) on inaugural day. And he did take again the next day.
