OK.
Let's not get carried away.
Just don't ever even THINK of leaving us.

BTW, the ugly duckling is kind of cute...

I've always liked and preferred the Lounge since day one.
Therefore, if I say anything I consider of value, I should put it on the Lounge.
That's my way of thinking.

And I would like you all to participate.

Now I may be depressed but not angry.
I may have some anxiety but I am also excitable by nature.
Putting all that into perspective, I would like to say, "Why should I"?

What I basically mean is why should I continue on this forum?
Have I made any friends?
Am I saying anything that might be helpful to someone?
Am I participating in threads because I am interested?
Does anyone like my music that I put all over the place?
Does anyone really care if I stop making Ralph threads?

It goes deeper than that.
In my years here, I have found several churches to attend that I liked very much, only to be very disappointed after I got to know what was really going on behind closed doors.

I had emergency aneurysm surgery last March and I almost died.
The closeness to death was so real that I went into a state of depression.
How many people remember that?
How many people have asked me how I am doing with that?
How many people ever really cared if I dropped dead?

Am I depressed?
I cried today in front of over 100 people.
I was so shaken I couldn't say my name.
With all the things I've mentioned about my health the past few years, can anyone even wonder why I had this breakdown?

Yes, I'm depressed.
My wife keeps me going.
No church.
No church friends, nothing.
Just me and my wife.

I may be guilty of ignoring others on this forum just as I feel ignored.
We may all be Christians but we certainly are not all one big family.

Just my personal opinion.
You need real friends, not virtual ones on the internet.
Keep looking for a good (probably small) church; one that's not a family business masquerading as a church.
DON'T give up on that.
