Crushed. Dunno if I can make it.

Been a while. I'm having the hardest time I've had in my life. I feel so lost.

What's the point of even trying?

Nevermind. I can't.

Tao - call 911. This is scaring me.

I'm sorry. Not trying to scare anyone. I don't need 911.

Call your T then

She's no help.

How can you get through this, then? Can you ask someone to come over and spend time with you?

I have noone.

Look, Tao - you've got to call a crisis line at least. In fact, as a moderator here, I insist that you call a crisis line. And as a member who cares about you, I will pummel you if you don't. And given that a crisis line will be more helpful than an LMo pummeling, I think it's clear which the better option is.

So they can decide they're scared for me too, trace my line and send the police over? I think not... I just got out of the hospital... again... going back is pointless.

Well, you can't talk about it here, so here are some options for you to choose from:

A) call a crisis line and be open to their advice
B) ask me to crack some jokes to try to make you laugh (bad option -- my jokes stink)
C) make some cookies
D) go take a yoga class

Those are your ONLY options, Taonuviel. I won't discuss any different options with you. Pick one, and then we'll keep talking.

Sorry. I'm not trying to cause trouble.

I know you're not. Pick one, please. Options A-D only.

I might have to pull this post unless you can turn it around. Ok?

Ummm... well... there's already a cake in the house - don't need anymore sweets. Can't afford a class. Wanna try a joke, anyway?

ok. That much I can do. Hold on - let me think of a good one.

by the way, what kind of cake is it?

I think it's chocolate... it was baked today.

Where'd you get a chocolate cake baked TODAY? Did you make it?

Still looking for a good joke. I don't want to depress you even more with a bad one

My mom baked it. There's people coming over tonight.

ugh - so you can't eat it yet, then. Ok, well there is something good to look forward to.

ok - ready for your joke?

Sure.

ok. Here goes.

Although you'll probably wish you had chosen A, C or D instead...

Why do ducks have webbed feet?
To put out fires.
Why do elephants have flat feet?

To stomp...

To put out burning ducks.

Next joke:

Mr. Bear and Mr. Rabbit Mr. Bear and Mr. Rabbit lived in the same forest, but they didn't like each other very much. One day, while walking through the woods, and they came across a golden frog. They were amazed when the frog talked to them. The golden frog admitted that he didn't often meet anyone, but, when he did, he always gave them six wishes, so he told them that they could have three wishes each.
Mr. Bear immediately wished that all the other bears in the forest were females. The frog granted his wish. Mr. Rabbit, after thinking for a while, wished for a crash helmet. One appeared immediately, and he placed it on his head.
Mr. Bear was amazed at Mr. Rabbit's wish, but carried on with his second wish. He wished that all the bears in the neighboring forests were females as well, and the frog granted his wish. Mr. Rabbit then wished for a motorcycle. It appeared before him, and he climbed on board and started revving the engine.
Mr. Bear could not believe it and complained that Mr. Rabbit had wasted two wishes that he could have had for himself. Shaking his head, Mr. Bear made his final wish, that all the other bears in the world were females as well, leaving him as the only male bear in the world. The frog replied that it had been done, and they both turned to Mr. Rabbit for his last wish.
Mr. Rabbit revved the engine, thought for a second, then said...

Here is a good JOKE....

WHAT do you have when you've got 50 lawyers buried in sand up to their chins?

NOT ENOUGH SAND - lol.
