This one is dedicated to Virgil who has been more of an encouragement then he will ever know.

Before I continue part three of my lost weekend (ah a cinema reference) two things need some clarity.

Please read my comments to Virgil on the last entry before going further. I respect him a great deal and would not willingly inflict pain on him though there are a few AAA Contractors I'ld like to tow around a block or two with dollies. My heart attack memoirs are written in my style where I attempt to be somewhat honest about how absurd I can be. Wondering how to score free comic books instead of dealing with a very real look at my mortality!! There are reasons God laughs. As noted in the comment there have been real tragedies surrounding me this week and in the scope of things I have gotten off with great mercy shown as God works His mysterious providences. To Him be the glory and from us the thankfulness. It's my nature to attempt to deflect pain and suffering with humor (probably way too many reading of Amazing Spider-Man comics taken too seriously as coping measures I suspect--we are what we read.)

The other thing needing dealing with is a better way of expressing friend/private message communications (as again) I accidently hurt a cherished Litnetter's feelings.

I liken the Friends block to greeting fellow church members in the hand shaking meet and greet thing we do at my church (which I personally strongly dislike) where you try to say hello to as many people as you can before the service really begins. Contacts are made and hello and how are you but to me it's like the crackers served as appetizers. It's a promise of joys to come.

Now the Private message is where the church member gets together one on one for prayer and sharing of each other's life and is the full banquet to be savoured over and treasured for its fulness.

This is in explanation of my prefering one over the other. Both have their uses. When I killed off friends I assure you it was in a dark mood that even frightened me. But God is still merciful.

I am also aware that my reactions to almost anything is never quite the norm and with that let's proceed in the next entry if you will indulge me.
