Emergency Love Thread
I sent a PM to PoukieBear to ask how she was doing and I got a response back that her long time friend Josh lost his fight with Cancer this afternoon !!!

She asked for a serious Good Vibes Thread and really wants to scream and cry and hit something ALOT !!!!

Too many of us know what this is about....and now is the time to step up and just LOVE on her !!!

Let's show her why she really comes in here folks !!!


WE LOVE YOU POUKIEBEAR !!!!!!!











WE LOVE YOU POUKIE !!!

Well I am very sorry to here that he lost his battle, I bet that it was a very good one.

All is not lost Poukie we the wacky loungers are here for you when you need us. If you need a shoulder I am almost right around the corner.

Here is something for you

NEVER give up, though life be a battle
Wherein true men may fail, and true causes be sold;
Yet, on the whole, however may rattle
The thunders of chance, scaring cowards like cattle—
Clear victory’s always the bride of the bold.
Armed in your right-though friendship deny you,
And love fall away when the storm’s at the worst,
Count not your loss, Was destined to try you—
Bear the brunt like a man, and your deeds shall ally you
To natures more noble and true than the first.

Rail not at Fate: if rightly you scan her,
There’s none loves more strongly the heart that endures:
On, in the hero’s calm resolute manner,
Still bear aloft your hope’s long-trusted banner,
And the day, if you do but live through it, is yours.

Be this your faith; and if killing strokes clatter
On your harness where true men before you have died,
Fight on, let your life-blood be poured out like water—
Fight on, make at least a brave end of the matter,
Brave end of the struggle if nothing beside.


The Battle of Life by
Charles Harpur

I was just asking about jim yesterday.
I happened to be listening to a song when i read this and it really seemed to fit the moment.

If anyone has the cd or can find the song on the web it's From Yesterday , By 30 Seconds to Mars.

Sorry to hear Poukie.

Here are your lyrics

"From Yesterday" By 30 SECONDS TO MARS

He's a stranger to some
And a vision to none
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the one

For a fortune he'd quit
But it's hard to admit
How it ends and begins
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here

On a mountain he sits, not of gold but of ****
through the blood he can learn, see the life that it turn
From council of one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent

On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)

From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
But he doesn't want to read the message here
But he doesn't want to read the message here

On his face is a map of the world

From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
From yesterday,
From yesterday,
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday,
From yesterday
But he doesn't want to read the message here
But he doesn't want to read the message here
But he doesn't want to read the message here

Certainly thoughts and prayers headed your way and our sincerest condolences on the loss of someone so special to you. Seems that too many folks we know these days are dealing with tough situations.

Oh my dear Poukiebear..... I am so sadden to hear about Josh. My heart hurts knowing that you are in pain. I wish we were all there to hold you and share you tears. You were a good friend to him and you made a difference in his final weeks here.
You have given so much of yourself to show your friendship and I'm sure you made it better for him. Lots of love to you and his family.

Thanks for all the love and support my dear loungers! I know I can always count on you guys!

MarineFiend, The poem and the lyrics brought on new waves of tears. They were so fitting to the life that he lived.

My sister and I have been making a "memory board" for Josh's funeral service, with pictures throughout his life, newspapper clippings, and now, a poem and song lyrics.
