2. C'mon over here, OldBaldy...

Jul 1

have a seat next to me.

I'm going to talk to you like your drunk uncle at a party who has had 8 Jack and Cokes and is slurring his words.

First of all, never be afraid to ask for help. Never. You are not asking for much anyway.

Secondly, you're not a curse, you're not a burden. You are here for a fucking reason, even if you don't know that reason. (hic! Hey, bring me another drink, wouldja?) .

You get my drift?

So get that "curse" shit right out of your head.

I donate to pretty much every DU Go Fund Me anonymously. I can only donate very small amounts, because I'm pretty much fucking broke and live on debt, but I donate, and I donated a small amout to you (donated what I could afford).

Hic!

So you other DUer's, help OldBaldy out. Even if you can only give a few bucks (hic!).

Take it from your old drunk uncle here...NEVER put yourself down. NEVER! Got it? I'm a Christian (albiet a shitty Christian) and I believe God put you here for a reason. No matter what your faith, (or even your absence of any faith at all)...you need to believe that you are here for a reason that you can't see yet.

Hang tough Baldy, and best wishes!!

PS - I don't drink alcohol, but I've been given "the talk" by plenty of drunk uncles, so I can mirror their spiel pretty well.

Seriously...good luck. You're going to be ok.
