Shell, have I ever told you I love you?
Let's do lunch.

Tom,
The dog wasn't a pet, and you didn't cry. Hmmmm, sheesh bro, I don't know what to say. Oh, wait, it's coming to me... That's cold, man.

Better yet, why don't you two do vulnerable?

Really?! Tearfully Tom?! Whoa. I'm good. Who knew a little cruel humor could work such healing!? That's it, I'm quitting school.

Actually Tom, I don't think there is anything wrong with you.

Except maybe for your weird decorating ideas. I mean, why are you soon keen on bi-valances? What if someone had three windows in one room? Wouldn't they want a tri-valance? And, of course, it's not exhaustively settled that they will even want valances. They may choose curtains, or they might want drapes. Did you ever think of that, fellah?
What Jane? Bi-valence? The theological implications of bi-valence in terms of the centuries old debate about free will versus determinism?
Oh.
Never mind.

ps Tom, I emailed you and it didn't get thru. sup?

I don't like even numbers. You can never break a tie. That's why I don't like (the principle of) bivalence! I much prefer trivalences, especially if you're in Italy and live "by Valencia."

How lame was that?

Didn't get your email: the one on my preferences is made up. It's truth value is zero. I'll email you with my email.

OK, here's a lame one. My mom was checking out at the grocery store and the clerk asked her if she wanted paper or plastic. She responded, "Either one--I'm bisacktual." You may not be crying, but I bet you're groaning.

ElectraThat was pretty lame. Try this: What did St. John say to St. Paul when John finished writing Revelation? Answer: "Come on Paul! Arm a get'in out a here!" Arm 'a gettin (Armageddon) = I'm a gettin? Get it?

Never works when you have to explain it.

You know, I cry at almost ANYTHING. I know it is from my up-bringing. Why just the other day I was watching "The John Walsh Show" and when John was congradulating this kid for saving his mother, I was pointing my finger at the tv (like sports celebrities point at each other when they get a goal or score) and tearfully saying, "You go booooyeeee...."

The John Walsh Show people. The John Walsh Show. Ok. What-ev-uuuur.

Now after reading some of these posts, especially Gregs? I wonder if Tom and some of you none criers out there are just cold hearted bastards.

Tom you know I'm playing witcha...but Greg did say something 'bout, "...the price you pay for not feeling pain is that you don't feel much of ANYTHING." How true. How true.

P.S. Loved your joke Electra. Good one.

Don’t try it at your favorite grocery store. My mom was just trying to be funny, but she really spooked the clerk who just didn’t get it. Instead of explaining the joke, my mom just left and she hasn't been back to that grocery store since. Electra

Springs, so sorry to hear about you're going blind and have leprosy. Bummer.

Or did I dream that?

maybe it was my sister whose going blind and my cousin who has leprosy

OH, I know, it was my neibhor who GOT new blinds and brought home a pet leopard and said "its a leopard, see?" Okay. I'm cool.

SPRINGS... sometimes you're almost scary!!!!

this thread is too funny

we love you Tommy. I spiritually discern that your infected eye is God's answer to your prayer "Please, God, let the tear ducts flow." You get what you pray for dude.

Its like the guy I knew who prayed God would help him control his eating and got tongue cancer the next month and was dead within a year.

not really

I've been going through a kind of hell the last two weeks, so I'm totally jaded right now. its one way of dealing with absolutely ridiculous nutsoness in life. I've been almost perpectually surrounded by tragedy. (Here I'm turning to serious mode). Among other things, my dad had a massive brain hemorage and is now in a coma on life support. The same day my wife found out her father has lung cancer. And THAT is the tip of the iceberg.

So, I really appreciate the humor. Life is sometimes so full of pain all you can do is laugh.

thanks folks

Wow, Greg. I'm so sorry to hear that all that is happening at once, especially at this time of year. I'll be praying for your family.

Ditto. My Dad and Mom and in the same situation. Praying that God encourage, comfort, inspire, and use you.

Thanks Shell.
Tom, your explanation of your joke was the funniest part!

Oh my gosh! That was so funny!!! I literally laughed out loud! Whew. If you knew Greg… oh, that was perfect. The juxtaposition of emotions… truly hilarious.

Nobody can follow that. Good humor.

Tom, you’re gonna have ta get specific, dude. Do you want to cry over puppy dogs, during hallelujah breakdowns, or just after your average tragedy. We can’t have you crying during the John Walsh show. That's Fa Sheezy.

Ok, then. The healing process starts of by FIRST admitting one HAS a problem. Please. Repeat after me. "I am a cold hearted..." Ahhh...just forget it.
