This Fish Needs A Bicycle

My thoughts are with you, Fish.

I actually swiped a few v recently. Care for tea, sypmathy and Valium & "V"? I'm off tom. Call in sick :)

*that's a hella "v"'s for one comment.

I am so sorry to hear about your dad.
Family stuff is hard enough to deal with whilst trying to have your own life, career, etc.

At times like this, I lose myself in music therapy...one of my current faves below:

Artist: Jem Lyrics
Song: Just a Ride Lyrics
Life is ever so strange
It’s good for a change
You think you worked it out
Bang, right outta the blue
Something happens to you
To throw you off course
But then you

Break down
Yeah, you break down
Don’t you break down
Listen to me
Because

CHORUS:
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It’ll take you round and round
Sometimes you’re up sometimes you’re down
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
Don’t be scared, don’t hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don’t forget it’s just a ride

Truth, you don’t wanna hear
It’s too much to take (too much to take)
Don’t have to feel
Out of control
So we make our plans (make our plans)
Ten times a day (ten times a day)
And when they don’t go
Our way we

Break down
Yeah, we break down
Don’t you break down
Listen to me
Because

CHORUS:
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It’ll take you round and round
Sometimes you’re up sometimes you’re down
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
Don’t be scared, don’t hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don’t forget it’s just a ride

Slowly
Oh so very slowly
Except that
There’s no getting off
So live it
Just gotta go with it
‘Cause this rides, never gonna stop

Break down
Yeah you break down
No need to break down
No need at all
Because

CHORUS:
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It’ll take you round and round
Sometimes you’re up sometimes you’re down
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
Don’t be scared, now dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don’t forget enjoy the ride

It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It’ll take you round and round
Sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down
It’s just a ride, it’s just a ride
Don’t be scared, now dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don’t forget enjoy the ride

i hate it when people EMAIL you stuff like that.

hang in there.

That's a harsh way to find out, but at least he's getting help. He'll be better for it in the long run.

Fish, hang in there... Good luck.

Oofa. Now that's a hell of a way to start a Monday. My prayers are with your family. Sounds like maybe Ari's got the right kinda therapy in mind... I tend to favor whiskey, a bottle of Jamesons might do you good, or for a non-inebriated tactic - try dancing and singing at the top of your lungs to 80s music with reckless abandon. Works for me.

I don't know what would've been better - a phone call, an email, a voice message?

Hang in there. He's somewhere safe, where there are people who can help him.

{{{Hugs}}}

Hope the meeting went quickly.

(((hugs)))

Fish,

Very sorry to hear about your Dad. I just went through some rough times with my Mom and can sympathize with you. I hope things turn out for the best.

Holy Cow! Sorry to hear this. Hang in there. :)

there's never a good way to hear things like that. *hugs* good luck. i know how you feel.

Wow, I hope everything turns out well for you and for your family. I'm thinking of you.

Moving to New York was not a huge mistake, and your dad will be okay. Life's adjustments hit some of us a bit harder than others, and it is nothing to be ashamed of or worry ourselves overmuch. I know it's different when it's you or your family, trust me, I know. But it'll be okay.

Fish,
keep your chin up, it'll all get better.

Sending only good thoughts and well wishes your way.

Thinking of you, sweetie.

I ditto Wicked's sentiments. Hang in there.

More hugs your way. Take care, Fish.

Love ya, baby! :)
