I have written a long post but will save it for 24 hours to see if it's appropriate here.

You know how you always think of the right thing to say right after the opportunity to say it? Walking up the wooden hill to LumLand last night, I realized I'd missed a great chance to answer your last post.
"Stuffed feelings? Stuffed feelings, you say? I've got so many stuffed feelings I could be roasted for Thanksgiving Dinner!" Not up to your standards, but remember: still hurts to laugh.
Here's a promise to you, from me: If I get a chance to read yours, I will let you read my emotional response to it. If you don't decide to post it here, in public, but are interested in emailing it to me, you can email me at babbler39 at excite dot com. I will answer, both because you've offered so much to me over the years, and because I do care for you. And because you've really offered me so much really necessary support here. It's only just exaggerating the tiniest bit to say you've saved my life, and certainly true that you've done a lot toward saving my life. In a literal sense, Phil. The value of my life is always open to debate, but having helped saved someone's life is still not something most of the world can honestly say.
By the way, by helping to save my life, you've also helped save a very, very well-loved pussycat. My Special Cat has recently been diagnosed with kidney disease. Because I am here, he can be treated at home, and can thus expect another year or two of life. I love him so much, so I'm very grateful to you for helping save him.

Stuffed feelings, rage, anger turned inward, terror, intensity, family, suicidal ideation. If you touch on any of those things, I know I could get something out of what you write (am I being totally selfish?). And, it would help...probably a number of people.
