I thought that perhaps I had healed enough to come out and play on Seti again.
I was wrong.  The pain is still too much to get past, and I still hurt too much to be even MY version of 'normal'.

Another 2 week time out is probably a good thing for me right now.......I guess healing takes more time than I had realized.
If anybody would choose to relay these comments into the Cafe, that might help some understand where I am and that I am OK.

Could some kind soul do that for me?  Perhaps William has come to understand a little bit of who I am now, and can forgive me enough to do it.

I don't wish anybody to think I have gone totally off of the rails beyond redemption.  I have not.  I shall not. I can not.

I just need more time, I guess, to grieve and adjust to 'life without Squirrel kitty'.  Almost 19 years of Squirrel kitty.

If the saying is true that 'tears make you a stronger man', I should be a titan by now....LOL.

Thank you once again for your tolerance of a weak man who is ruled by his emotions and a slave to his true heart.  It is not easy being me at times.  But I guess, given the choice, I would not take another path.

"I took the road less traveled, and it has made all the difference."

 For my Squirrel kitty...........

My feet were o6nce strong and sure,  my path well laid out afore me.
Not so sure where I shall wander these days.
Not so sure where the path now leads.

I shall not harm myself, friends, if that is what you fear.

 I am quite resigned to living as long as my God deems I should be here.

Meow .

It's a shame what happens. I feel sorry for you but as i can't see what you have written in the forums i can't possibly see what has made people offended actually.
Again i'm sorry for your loss really.. But i also hope that you come to senses and don't overexpress yourself so we can see you in a more "sane" form in our forums.

Take care Mark. Don't punish yourself by the sorrow in the long run now, try to mourn and let go. You will feel like a new person when the time has come.

Kind regards Vyper

It's only the MODS that I offended, I think.  Questioning their sacred bit about not discussing mod actions on the boards.  F that bit.  I'll stand up and question God himself if I deem it appropriate.  And even HE understands that when I do.
God does not ban me for weeks at a time.  He and I have spoken a lot in the last few days since I lost Squirrel.  And he listens.  And he kisses my tears.  And he understands WHY I cry.
Am I less of a man because I go down at the loss of a feline friend?  I don't think so.  I think it makes me more of a man for admitting it.  She was much more to me than most  would or could admit.
She was much more to me than a simple cat or pet.  She was my child.  My own.  My loving companion for almost 19 years.
I nursed her for her medical conditions for YEARS, every single day. And when I could do no more, I had to release her from her suffering.  And that was an incredibly difficult decision to have to make.
I know I am not the first or only one to have faced these things. But, because I live virtually through the forums, I may have expressed my sorrow more than some.  And I am sure some are saying WTF is he going on about?  A freaking CAT???  It's just a cat.
No, my friends, she was NOT just a cat. Every day, she sat her beside me.  Every day, her big eyes beamed up at me.  Every day, she was a guiding light and friend.  Which I have now lost and mourn with all my heart.....
If you have even one iota of understanding of this, you will accept it and remain a friend.  If you do not, there is no way I could possibly explain it to you, because you lack the basic understanding of the situation to begin with.

Many thanks to those of you who DO understand just a bit. 

Time shall pass,   tears shall dry, and  bad memories shall eventually be replaced with the good ones. In the spring, I might even be inspired to go out to the shelter and rescue another kitty in need of their forever home.  There are so many.  As God says, when I close a door on you, I always open another for you to find your way.

And, as you have seen, I do not take this lightly.  Taking a companion animal into one's heart and home for me is a lifetime commitment.  Cradle to grave.  That is what it requires and demands.

Of course, in return, your soul is rewarded ten or twenty fold. 

Meow, friends.

I woke up today and looked outside and there was snow, just a little snow on the ground.
You know what the very first thought was that went through my mind?
Go ahead and guess.

Gee, this is Squirrel's first snow.

It did not take but an instant.  A nanosecond.

I have a long way to go to recover from my loss.  Much farther that I thought I did.

LIterally every step I take reminds me of her.
I used to have to step carefully down the hall to go to the kitchen, because she would often sleep on the floor betwixt.
I still do it. 
I took a bath the other day and when I was done,there was another thing.
Squirrel always liked to jump into the warm, damp, bath when I was done and meow like the dickens to be petted.
It was just a thing of her's.

Things that you realize once they are gone, I suppose.

19 years is a long time to remember and get over.  I hope that some of you are human enough to  understand that.

Ya know what I really ../want?

Closkure.
The one true thing most people cannot ever get from theiir friends.
Because they just keep hanging ariound......like that musk smell.
It's just always THERE.
And it's not like they really want to  be there.
It's just liike they want tio hang around....be in the foyer.....
Want to be in the myst./..........

I have had my say .......or so it seems.

I don't want much more and will not stand for more.
The mod have had their way now..........
I am going to  be diistand now.
This is what you want.
This is what you wished for.\\

This is what you get.

Meow.

Distance is my thing now.

Far away kitty.

This is what you wanted.  Distant kitty.

 And ya know........
Novbody will know exactly who shot hiim down.
Who killed the kittyman?
Guess it was the mods that finally done him in.
He only asked that his  grave be kept clean.

You can find that song on the wind.
Just search for PPM......they shall always sing my songs.
The wind shall take me where I must go.

Goodbye, my  friends.

Goodbye.

As was said to Archie Bunker once.........
"If the world stopped for you, Archie, the rest of the world would fall off..........."
I guess it would, at that.

But I gotta be Archie Bunker for some folks, don't I?

I mean, somebody had to hold up standards and such. I was born and bred to be a Bunker.
I raised Squirrel to be a Bunker.  And she loved me all of her life for it.

There was no other cat that loved me as much as she did.


And yes, I am still trying to get over her loss.

It shall come.  One day.  Meow.

Post by: msattler on 04 Dec 2013, 10:08:43 pm
I apologize to each and every one I have offended.
The mods on Seti are not going to let me live it down.......they are taking me to the mat.
2 months.  What they may not understand is that holding an anvil over my head does not work for me.......
It only makes me more despondent.
I asked for understanding and I got whacked upside the head.
I don't know at present what I shall do or not do.
This has totally wrecked my belief system beyond all of my imagination.
Following the loss of my most beloved kitty, this is a real kick in the shorts.
I am not sure if I shall be able to recover from this.
It's just too much to bear.
If I don't come back or answer any emails, please understand.
I just cannot at present or in the near future.

Meow for now.........and for a long time.

This is what the Setimods now consider me.........
Title: Re: Sometimes........
Post by: msattler on 05 Dec 2013, 03:37:57 pm
And the road's stacked up with credit.......
And there's nothing you can do.
It's just an indication of what's quite wrong with you.

When the path one is on is not working, I suppose one must consider what that path is.

There are reasons I leave the connections open.......even if I seem despaired.

This is one such reason.

Turn this up, and enjoy.  God did put me here for a reason, even though at times I am at a loss to understand why.
This may be a part of it.

Ya know.......sometimes.
I have been vanquished for almost a month now.
And it gives me pause...or paws, so to speak.

Paws......yes, that's it.
It's an old paradigm.

The original saying I think, goes like this.

We, the unacknowledged, have done so much
For so long,
With so little.
That we are now assumed capable of doing everything.
In an instant.
With nothing.

It's a bit of a trip sometimes when some folks think that this is easy.
Just turn 'em on, and rack 'em up.

It is not, friends.  It is not. I have done so much for this project for so long with so little except my time.
Which, other than some might suppose, is not infinite.

There are times that I have thought about shutting it all down and buying myself a fine car.
I could pay for in in months.
Instead, I have chosen to drive a 24 yo 1990 Olds Cutlass Ciera.
I like the car a lot.....I really do, because I have the shop manual and I get get into every nut and bots that car is made of......but....I wonder at times.

Where would I be if I was not a Seti addict?
What could I have become over the last ten years or so?

Some of you make fun of me when I go off into the high timber.  'S OK, your right, I guess.
But, please think about it....for just a minute or so.

In my quest, I have achieved a level that no other on the planet has.  Not with 9 computers at his own home.
A new guy has upstaged me, but he has, what......500 some servers in a business setting?
Wow, that's great.  But I am betting that once he figures out the real costs of doing so, in terms of electricity, he will be gone like many before him.  And if not......more power as it were, to him.

I can only speak for myself.  Where I am, why I am, what I am.
And sometimes I cannot answer all three of those questions without wondering.

It's a combination of my fascination with the project, my sometimes numbing ability to deal with machines rather than men.
Machines, I can usually fix.  Fellow man, not so.

Enough now.
Most of you have my email, or access to somebody who does.\
Share it freely, but not with the bots....LOL.

I am the kittyman.......24/7.
You are welcome in my little warped world.  Any time.

Meow for now.

Mark
