I'm sleeping days away and becoming way too isolated. Come visit.

[ThomCat]

I need company. :)

I need a reason to get my ass out of bed and be social. :hi: Other than to chew on one more painkiller.

Anyone feel like a trip to Staten Island. :P

[TZ]

1. I wish.

I'm going back out to Minnesota (Mayo Clinic) in a few weeks....But I'd love to visit you one of these days...*sigh*

[ThomCat]

2. I would love to have you come visit.

I love being host. It love having a reason to get out into NYC with people. And I would love to see you again. :loveya:

I hope your trip to Minnesota goes very well. :hug: I'll be thinking about you.

[laylah]

3. I cannot visit you in reality; however,

:hug: May I bring you a soda?

[ThomCat]

5. The offer will remain open indefinitely.

:hug:

If things change, come visit NYC. :)

I'd love a soda. Thank you. :toast:

[Gormy Cuss]

4. I want to visit.

I've never been to Staten Island.:D

[ThomCat]

6. I've been to San Francisco once, and I would LOVE to be able

to come back out there again. If I could travel it is definitely high up on my list of places I want to go. But that's not going to be physically possible. :(

So, if you ever get the chance to come out this way, you definitely have a place to stay if you wish. My new apartment is bigger and nicer than the one I'm moving out of. You will always be welcome.
:hug:

[CreekDog]

13. Gormy doesn't live in San Francisco

:evilgrin: :P

[ThomCat]

15. Really?

Her profile says east bay of SF. :shrug:

[CreekDog]

16. east bay pfft

Walnut Creek or some such place. :evilgrin: :hide:

[Redstone]

7. I'd enjoy that, especially the ferry trip, but I'm still limited to driving about 10

miles a day. Maybe this summer.

And I want to go see the Intrepid, now that it's back. And have lunch at a real NY deli.

Redstone

[ThomCat]

9. If you let me know your interests I'd work out an itinerary

that is as pain free as possible for both of us. I would love a chance to hang out with you and do cool semi-touristy stuff. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear ThomCat!

How good to see you!

I wish I could get out to Staten Island!

We would have such a great visit...

Painkillers have their place...

But so do visits!

:hug:

[ThomCat]

10. Hi CaliforniaPeggy!

:loveya:

It would be a wonderful visit! :hug:

I think I am going to like where I am moving because it is a real neighborhood. It will be easier to know my neighbors. That will help. I've lived here for 14 years and don't know more than a few people in this building. How sad is that?

I like being around people. I really don't like spending this much time all alone. :(

[KamaAina]

24. What neighborhood?

If it is elsewhere than SI, there might be new resources available to you there.

[ThomCat]

29. I'm moving to Mariners Harbor.

Down Richmond Terrace.

I don't like being farther from the ferry, but it's an actual community, and it's within a few blocks of the corner of Richmond and Forest Avenue, so it's near a lot of important stuff. :)

[bicentennial_baby]

11. Do Sniffa and I have to come down there?

:D

Maybe after graduation, we will! :)

[ThomCat]

14. You're both welcome.

:hug:

Plan a lot of time when you come. I've sure you've both probably been to NYC a bunch of times before, being so close. But I'd love to hang out and show you around to any signs or events you haven't seen yet or want to see again. :)

I am also planning on catching a ride up to Boston sometime soon too. I hope you'll be around and available when I do. :hug:

I'm in love with Boston from my one trip there. And MissMillie was a wonderful, awesome host. :loveya: So now I have to come back again.

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Let me know when you're coming to Beantown!

I'm living in Western MA for the summer, but I'll def come east to see you! And you can meet our kittehs! :hug:

[CreekDog]

12. I heard the Steely Dan song "Barrytown" is about Staten Island

is it? :shrug:

[ThomCat]

19. I'm sure it probably is.

Staten Island has always had a reputation for being someplace entirely different compared to the rest of the city.

It was a vacation area of religious retreats for a long, long time when it was an isolated island.

Then it was a wealthy enclave when it was a residential area that you could only access by ferry.

It has only really become an integrated part of the city in the past few decades since the bridges went up.

[graywarrior]

17. When I get a new car, I'm so there.

[ThomCat]

20. That would be very wonderful.

You know that I have been wanting to meet you and hang out with you forever. :hug:

[graywarrior]

21. You almost made it here.

I've got a five bedroom house right now. Plenty of room to visit.

[NewJeffCT]

22. Maybe the week after next?

another DU meetup? I'm not a great socializer, though.

I posted another update on my D&D campaign the other day...not sure if you saw it or not? 18 months old now.

[ThomCat]

23. Week after next would be wonderful!

:hi:

I was reading that thread. I didn't post because I've been very out of gaming for a while, unfortunately. :(

I don't have anyone to game with down here, and I'm to the point of giving away all my gaming books and supplies. I just don't need them anymore. I'll never have a group of friends to game with again, so they're just taking up space.

[Breeze54]

25. I feel the same way... extremely tired, can sleep on a dime.

I don't know why. :(

[elleng]

27. Check your thyroid workings, Breeze.

.

[ThomCat]

30. Chronic Fatigue is one of those things

a lot of people seem to have that doctors don't ask about or take seriously. :(

I hope you don't have chronic fatigue. It really sucks. But if you do, I hope your doctors listen.

[fizzgig]

26. i wish i could!

i'll be out there for a bat mitzvah in june, but it's a quick in and out trip and i won't have time for anything other than family x(

[ThomCat]

31. I hope it's a wonderful trip, even if it will be that quick.

Some other time I hope you will be back for a longer for a visit. :hug:

[Inchworm]

28. If my lotto hits

I'll be there in a heartbeat :)

We could have a few beers.

:hug:

[ThomCat]

32. I hope you hit it very big.

You absolutely HAVE to make it to NYC. :loveya:

[Inchworm]

33. I've been watching Rescue Me

It's a little raw, but I like raw.

I'd fit right in up there.

:toast:

:hug:

[ThomCat]

36. Where I live is tame.

:P

[Inchworm]

37. Yea

Tommy got "exiled" to there as punishment hehe. I guess there isn't much fire action like in the city.

:D

[madinmaryland]

34. All I remember about about staten island is after Sept 11. Still fucked

up after that. Cant do any goofy smilies.

Hope all is ok thomcat.

[ThomCat]

39. Sept. 11 will always be raw for a lot of us around here.

Too many friends and funerals. I have a best friend who survived, but she is permanently so physically and mentally damaged that she has become a bitter recluse. :(


I'm doing pretty well personally. I'm procrastinating on stuff because of hand and eye pain, and I keep having bouts of disorientation. But today is better than most days, so I'm posting a lot and enjoying it. :)

[Robeson]

35. Hey Thom...

...I'm sorry for your pain. You know I'm - we're - on Facebook, too. So if you ever need to talk, feel free to PM me there, here, or anywhere...:hug:

[ThomCat]

40. Thank you.

:hug:

I tend to come here to talk. :)

I use facebook as a place to vegetate and play mindless games when the headaches and confusion hit. I don't chat there nearly as much as I do here. Though I should learn how to socialize there too. :P

[Robeson]

44. No problem. I'm the same way.

[elshiva]

38. I love you, ThomCat. I wish I could be there for you.

I am a very ill person, too, with very little money. :( :cry:

You are such a sweet person. You are a lot of fun. My goodness I wish I could go up there this summer, but I am in so much pain.

I'm sleeping the days away, too, and not seeing anyone. Wish we could be together.

[ThomCat]

41. I am sorry you're in pain too.

:cry:

I wish you were well, and I wish you were well enough to travel. I would love to hang out with you and show you around the city. :hug:

Someday I hope you can make it here for a trip. :loveya:

[elshiva]

43. That would be awesome. Thank you!

:hug: I've only been to NYC two or three times in my life. One of the times was for the Gay Pride Parade, it was so exciting. :bounce: :bounce: I walked passed Stonewall. Have you been there?

I'd love to see more of NYC. I'd so love to hang out with you! :loveya:

[ThomCat]

45. I've never been in the bar, but I've been by it, and in in that neighborhood

thousands of times. I love that area. Some of my favorite restaurants are in that area. :)

[ashling]

42. I would love to come visit

unfortunately I won't be able to afford to get up that way any time soon.
But if I can find a way to get up to New York I will certainly drop in.

[ThomCat]

46. If you can ever make it, just give me a couple days notice

and you are always welcome. :hug:

Someday I hope you can make it.
