A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Hell I talk you y'all more than I talk to "real people"
Lots of people come and go around here but a select few are genuine and truly care and make me smile every day.
I'll always remember Memphis. She was one of the good ones.

 

[shawluvsbirds]

I was thinking the same thing. This totally surprised me. That I could truly morn for someone I never met or even talked to on the phone.
I guess I see how my niece moved across the country to live with a guy she met on a game.

So none of you can up and die, you are important to me.

My kid did that too.
Well.. 10 hours away.

I still can't say I would advocate for all that. Even people you've known in person for a long time are pretty good at hiding things until you live with them for a while. Connections through the internet make it even easier to be a faker.
but at least I understand it now I was pretty harsh with her back then about it.
I mean look at me I'm proof. I am way nicer here than I am in real life. And I can still make people mad and get cussed out on here.
Imagine living with me.

I won’t be able to sleep tonight because of the nightmares

Yeah my brother about had a stroke when she moved out and went to Oregon from Nebraska. But she is 18, his granddaughter they adopted, and he is 73. They need to have the chickies leave the nest.
We all had nightmares about what could have happened. She is a bit depressed, no job, no sunshine and then covid restrictions.

I came home yesterday evening as I pulled in my Lurker Royal Palm tom ( who really wants evercame running to my truck with that “I am so glad your home, now give me a great look”

And suddenly missed a Daisy story and Memphis. It’s amazing how close we can feel to people who’s voice we have never even heard.

So despite the many with the common prevailing thought that the internet is not real and neither are the relationships, I have to disagree.

I realize even large percentage of my Real life friends started as internet friends. This is not to say there are not evil people on the internet, but there are in real life also.

and finally, I think my mourning the loss of Memphis is pretty darn real.

I met my husband online. He moved here from the Oregon coast. Internet is a giant meeting place.

I am right there with you. I cried hard when I found out about all this on my husband's shoulder (tearing up again now). Memphis was just one of those amazing people that wiggles right in to your heart just by being herself. She was an amazing friend, even though we'd never met in person. A lot of people I know in person may not understand how hard this is but I know that I'm not alone here. The mourning is very real, and very hard.

I don't dare even mention it to anyone outside here. I'm sure they'd roll their eyes.
Cept the man at home. Couldn't hide sadness around him. He got pretty teary eyed as well. I read things to him from time to time he liked hearing about daisy and the hound too.
