When was the last time you cried?

[BostonPirate]

I cried for a few days in May while grieving the loss of a dear friend.

More humorously, one time before I attended a memorial ceremony for a professor of mine who succumbed to brain cancer. I entered the chapel stoically and somehow believed I wouldn't need tissues. I then proceeded to weep for the next thirty minutes into my shirtsleeves so copiously that they lost all absorbency and I was merely channeling my effluvia down my arms.

grief has a life of it's own sometimes

Sometime in 2008 during one of many breakups with my piece-of-shit ex.

Do you want me to have him beaten up?

Do you want me to have him beaten up?

Enh. He's pretty miserable as it is. I think his repeated failures are punishment enough.

 

[BostonPirate]

the "heartless" comment was during our break-up argument

he was clinically depressed and thought I was an asshole for not empathizing with it, except he went to great lengths to hide it from me (eg -- I'd ask him how his day was and he'd say that he just hung around his house all day, when the hidden subtext there was that he was so depressed that he couldn't leave his house... but not being psychic, how am I supposed to know that?)

So he lied about his emotions and then blamed you for not calling him out for lying. Yeah.. I can see why that didn't last.

You're better off without that kind of person. Even tempermented people need to be with the same type. It just removes the one sided drama.

Can we cut off one of his ears?

An earlobe?

How about we pluck his pubes out and pour rubbing alcohol on his crotch.

oh ok

we can do it your way

Last night when Mildred Pierce's youngest daughter died of the Grippe in 1931.

HA

The only time I cry during Mildred Pierce is when Mildred rips up Vida;s check.

 

[geloge]

not too long ago. I've not lost anyone close but I can't help feel sad lately.

I want to give you a big hug.

Can you do that over the internet?

August 16th 2006 when my father passed. I had to have some time for about 30 minutes and then I had to take action.

Beyond that I do get severely choked up when I read of those killed in combat.

When I lost my best friends of 16 years in the past couple years. Taking your best friend to have put down is no easy task. It doesn't get any easier with the next one.

I cried today. I tend to be fairly emotional and cry (not sobbing hysterical crying, just a tear to my eye kind of thing) rather often. This year saw me both find and lose my first boyfriend and a certain song was playing in the car today and led me to think about what happened and I teared up.

when I got the call that a special friend committed suicide.

we went through a lot together and I thought he had it worked out....he had a great partner/soon to be his wife and a wonderful stepson.

He finally had a great job but I guess life was too hard for him....... he was a great guy.

when my mom had a stroke this January and when the doctor asked her what my name was, she didnt know. I cant explain what that felt like to have your own mother not know her own sons name. I have cried on and off because of her since. it goes it waves, sometimes when I am in the room with her, I just stare at her and I can feel my tears start coming, so I have to exit the room.

Pup or cat? I will be devastated when my girl dies. It's hard to even think about.

Music has the power to bring me back to a place and time as well. Sometimes that's good and sometimes it hurts.

His choice was not your fault. You know that, right?

You can

 

[AlmondMilk]

I can't remember. I guess we can reference the last crying thread. But I'm guessing it was after work when things felt like shit.

 

[Audio Tech]

latter days... that movie makes me cry every time.

Me too.

Last time I cried was the day I accepted myself for who I truly am.

Boy and his dog's lick-it list goes viral - Winnipeg Free Press

Bingo first romped into Cole's life in 2005, when the boy was two. Cole has an undiagnosed apnea-like disorder that causes him to suddenly stop breathing, day or night, awake or sleeping. It required someone to perform artificial respiration to revive him. He had to be monitored by a caregiver or monitoring instruments 24 hours a day. The condition still affects Cole, but he has learned how to work his way out of it on his own.

National Service Dogs, which normally trains larger dogs to help children with autism, heard about the family's plight and its co-founder trained her own Jack Russell terrier to recognize the child's distinctive gagging noise when he stopped breathing, and then bark to alert his parents or caregivers.

The family has "lost track" how many times Bingo's bark saved Cole's life -- three times during the animal's probation period alone.
But earlier this summer, the family received the devastating news the now 14-year-old Bingo had been diagnosed with canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome and had only weeks to live. The illness is similar to the human version of dementia, and while the dog is on medication for the syndrome, Hein said the dog has "good days and not so good days."

Hein overheard Cole telling Bingo the things he wanted to do for her before the animal died, calling it a lick-it list, and she posted her son's wishes on a Facebook page.

That'll do it.
