I lived. A bad day, was all. Back to normal now.
Still strongly debating leaving Gaia, though. I am losing interest in this place. I know it's been said before . . . but meh. Frankly, you are the only person I talk to anymore, Yoder.

I wouldn't blame you, and, despite my love for what the RPR was in its heyday, you shouldn't stay b/c I'm here. We can always find some other way to communicate, even if it's e-mail.

I'm considering it. Problem is . . . who do I leave this ghost to? I don't know why I still come here except to keep this old guild running- as little as it is. I miss what once was, but nostalgia isn't doing a good job of making me want to stay too much.
I am not sure what I do here.

You could always lock/close the guild so as to leave it to nobody.
Family is visiting this week, so I'll be busy.

*sigh* What a lovely day... My dad almost broke his neck this morning. Since I came home 2 years ago, i've been the primary breadwinner w/ my dad taking care of my mom. Now i'll be doing everything for 2-3 months...

I'm so incredibly sorry, my friend. I have to wonder why you have been left with all the responsibilities. Perhaps you had told me once upon a time, perhaps not. All I know is that you are working way too hard for way too long . . . with dismally few rewards.
At the very real risk of being theologically ignorant, even Christ would say this is too much long-suffering!
(don't hate me for that attempt at levity)
As for closing the guild. A part of me says "This has a legacy! It's been in operation for over a decade!"
The other part of me says "nobody gives a s**t about it anymore. Why bother even attempting to save it?"

Probably b/c I'm the only unmarried sibling, and the other one who is serious about taking care of my parents lives 10 hours away, near her husband's parents. My brother & his family who live nearby have the most financial means to help, but my father refuses to ask for any. sweatdrop
No worries about the religious reference - I'm wondering much the same, myself. Christianity is an ever-present struggle, and it is supposed to be (that "prosperity gospel" spiel cannot be defended by anything but the most cursory/selective reading of the Bible).

Your marital status should not factor in to the fact that you need a chance to live your own life. By no means am I saying to abandon your parents- but neither should you have to take on the responsibility all alone. Living far away is an understandable excuse, but the other sibling should not have to be asked to help. Pride notwithstanding if there is a problem you should support family. In this case, he is ignoring his parents and you. Unacceptable. stare

Well, all my siblings are married w/ kids, so they have lives of their own to attend to. I am a videogame & anime introvert w/ 2 friends through the internet who will likely never marry or have kids, so the shoe fits. *sigh* Families are always complicated, eh?

I'm extrovert Introvert. Yes I am both.
My sister, engaged for 10 years (she doesn't want to get married but yea) already has a 7 year old son with that man.
My brother, married and sister in law currently pregnant with his baby, five months along.
Me? Video games, moving MILES away from them, blah blah blah. Even then, I made it clear that I do have my own life, I'm a full time dorm supervisor, I worry and care for other people kids that is not my own and now, I have a man in my life who treats me like a queen so I want to treat him like a king. And I love it.
Best part? We met in gaia. Finally met in real life in.... November. Ever since then... I know he's the one. And I thought I would never find anyone either. I was 27, spend most of my time online. Erm. My bad, I am STILL 27 haha.
But before he was in my life, I made it clear that I am just as busy and it's not okay for them to put things on my shoulders without a meeting with family and those involved to calmly talk and communicate about it.
Then again, my family and I don't communicate. -roll eyes-

smile Nice to hear you have a love, Lily. You always were kind and deserved somebody that would treat you well.
Regardless of the situation, Yoder, it is not fair to dump it all on your shoulders. then again, all I can do is support one of my oldest friends and even if I disagree, not yell at yeh for it.
I suppose I will spill as well.
* Only child.
* Married 7 years, together with her for 16. Two kids.
* Mother moved away to England and got married for the second time to a brit named David. We barely talk.
* Haven't said anything to my father for 15 years, haven't seen him in nearly 18.
* He can eat a fat d**k.
*struggling with work and life, but doing my best to make it and squeeze in some enjoyment from time to time.

Thank you ^^
Yea. I'm really lucky. (Though he says he's the one that's lucky lol) Remember depression issues I used to have?
I really thought I was going to have it for the rest of my life. I mean I had it since I was 12 and it was ongoing and constantly getting worse
ever since I met him, I did get depressed few times, but he pulls me out so fast, longest I was depressed was like an hour. It's amazing. I really thought that was not going to happen to me.
