helping others

[Meliss]

I notice that most of the posts are about getting what we need and dealing with our hungers.

I am curious about the looking out for others we do as a community.

I know a couple where I was attracted to one, but when they bonded which I sort of helped, I stepped back. someday I might be with them as a couple but leaving them to bond for now.

any one else looking out for the others around us? Care to share?

I think that there are people still on this site who care about those who come to the site with questions and doubts. I also think that there are fewer who ask questions about their sexuality and doubts. If we look at jeb's posts about his operation due to his intersexed position we find people expressing support as far as can be given on the internet. This is however the internet and although many of us feel sorrow for Peg's passing the other day, there is not much beyond posting a comment that can or will be done. I am uncertain but I suspect that there is a different approach to community between posting on the forum and interacting in chat?

I am a bit unclear what you mean when you refer to looking out for others and the connection to a couple that you know though?

Think the Meliss was/is discussing living done away from the
Internet/web. Mentioned briefly having suffered a bit of recent loss
in the thread regarding Peg. Within the past five months, lost my
maternal grandfather and wife lost her paternal grandfather.

Not able to attend service/s for my grandfather due to living out of
state. Did give my father in law a big hug the morning his father
passed, attended the service/s. I help her dad. We're just two old
knock around country boys.

He and I both swear we hear his father chastising us at times. Darn
cantankerous goat not content despite the peace of eternal rest. And
no, that is not speaking ill of him, rather more affectionate and
respectful. He was a larger than life grandfather for being of
average build. It was the same with my grandfather.

Aside from this, helping family, I am not a sort to "get out"
a lot. Some refer to me as special in both derogatory and loving
senses. Seems I am an understudy for cantankerous old goats. ;) :)
Along with cantankerousness we're prone toward a bit of nuttiness and
often lovingness. So, yeah, we're special folks. Too much passion,
caring locked up and post it notes inside reading "try to not have
a short fuse over idiots".

But I have and still do lend hands, when needed and able. Usually with
a gentle understanding I need no paying back, pass it on to the next
Joe. Keep the smile lighting up candles. That to me is worth more than
money/currency. Guess ultimately we are all family. Spread the love,
it destroys fear & hate. Run slow Meliss, be safe and well. *hug*
