There's Lumberthing I don't want to tell you - Page 4

There is some silver lining. Her student loans should be discharged. And for whatever reason, through 2025 that is not considered taxable income. 33k. Would have been salt in the wound.

And I've lost 20 lbs.

I'm not sure. I hope not

The way the support thing works is Shelby leans on Spencer (and others) Spencer leans on you (and others) you lean on Amanda (and us). And so on, in multiple directions. Each person's support network is further out.

I'm so sorry to hear this.

Pete invited me to a party tonight, and we went. Cool party.

Wouldn't have been invited, or gone if not for this horror.

Food for thought.

Have to chew on that.
I hope the neighbors were invited.

I just found out this past winter whenever HYJINX would come over to rehearse at my house my neighbors across the street on the hill would sit out on their patio with drinks and groove on the music. I only found that out indirectly.

Cool folk doing cool stuff.

Reminded me a lot of the dead shows and rainbow family gatherings, but more sanitary and talented.

I just need time to go by. To have that first person who doesn't know yet ask me how the kids are.

Just had dad and 19yo daughter buying a car.

You have kids?

Yup.

Lied right to his face.

I just saw this - fucking hell. I can't fathom what this must be like for you Jim, for all of you

I'm glad you went to Pete's party. It sounds like it did you good.

It's ok to lie to strangers about it, right?
For now?
For a while yet?

xoxoxoBruce · 05-29-2019, 12:10 AM

Probably better than telling them it's none of there fucking business, although that might be better than telling them the truth.

It wasn't a lie . For several reasons. And certainly not as much as when you shook hands and they said "how are you?" and you didn't say "fucking shit actually"

It’s not a lie. I have two brothers. One killed himself, but that doesn’t stop him from being my brother. I always say I have two brothers.

I have a friend whose baby died a few hours after birth. (It was fully expected, but the deformity was discovered too late to terminate in her state, so she had to finish the pregnancy.) This was 11 years ago, but she still always says she has 4 kids, not 3.

But also and entirely separately, lie your face off anytime you damn well please. They're strangers and you don't owe them anything.
