Farewell

[Double T]

To all my dear, dear friends in the TMF:
Certain events in my life have led me to make a very difficult choice. It is with great sadness that I say I shall not be in the chat room anymore. I have tried to particioate these past few weeks, but the experiences are sometimes just too painful. I harbor bitterness to no one, but this is the way it must be. Myriads, I thank you for letting me be a part of the community. I made many friends. I won't name them all, because I would be sure to forget someone, and feelings would be hurt, anyway, I think you all know pretty much how I feel about you. On a personal note, Lite, I love you. I will always love you. I will always have deep feelings for you that will not go away, nor can I ignore them, but please don't let this alter your plans to visit me, because if you don't, I don't think I could take the dissapointment. Also, with a small sad smile, I give you my horns, since I won't be needing them, but keep them safe for me, in the case that I return, on which I am not yet certain. May you all be well, be happy, and have great lives! May God bless you all! Goodbye, my friends, goodbye!
Your old pal,
Double T.

To a dear friend...

Double T, I am sorry that you feel you must stop coming to the chatroom. You are a genuinely good person, and you will be missed, but I know you have to do what's best for you.

I know that I don't contribute much to this community; I don't post stories or artwork--hell, I don't even post in threads very often. This community means a lot to me, though.

After a certain event happened in my personal life last year, I assumed that I would never do tickling again. However, I discovered, much to my surprise, that I missed tickling. That's when I started visiting the TMF on a regular basis, and began to de-lurk. Then I went to the Albany Superbowl gathering, and found that not only had I missed tickling, I wanted, even needed, to tickle and be tickled.

I have made many new, and several dear, friends here. I have also found that while I cannot make everyone happy, I can at least make them laugh--in a variety of ways! I have no plans to leave this community, unless Myriads decides to eject me (which I don't see happening, even when I pester him incessantly). I intend to try to do what I have done my entire life, even before I was introduced to tickling 3+ years ago: to make people laugh, to help whenever and wherever I can, and to try to show every person I come into contact with that he or she is special. I remember every person I've ever met, though I am not memorable myself. That is not me saying I'm worth remembering; as a poet, I have found that it's better sometimes if I simply fade into the background, and take in the events occurring around me, rather than trying to jump up and down shouting, "I'm here, I'm here!" (Yelling "hello!" in the chatroom being an exception to that.)

Double T, I don't want to take your horns; they look too good on you. I also don't want to be the reason you feel you can't return to the chatroom, but as I've said, you have to do what is best for you. As far as visiting you is concerned--count on it! You think you can break me with tickling? HA! Bring it on! Just ask the people who were at the gathering...no, wait...don't ask them! Dave2112...shhhhhhhhhhh!...(How many ribs do I have? How new am I!)...NJJen and GuitarPete...shhhhhhhhhh! My feet are not a snack!...MIMI!...NOT ONE WORD!...MYRIADS!...Oh, hell! That man found spots I didn't know I had; for God's sake, don't ask him!...DjSkiz...DVNC...QBWeaver...Venray and Venraya...EVIL!...I mean, such good friends! They would never reveal anything about me! Right? RIGHT?

In closing, I would just like to say this: I'm lite...get used to it.

I guess I missed something. DT, I'm truly sorry to see you go. But, you must do what is best for you. If you need to gab, feel fre to drop me a line. I'm here.

[Myriads]

If you feel leaving is needful, then so be it. You are always welcome here and in the chatroom. Be well.

A softer tone...

I don't think my reply came out quite the way I intended; there is a sharpness in me today that I can't explain. Double T, you have my phone number and e-mail addresses. Feel free to use them anytime.

 

[TicYourToe]

Maybe this helps you ...

Dear Double_T

I don't know if this helps you, but i had a similar experience a few weeks ago. Maybe you've read this thread and the answers i got. Some of them confirmed, that my decision was right. But most of them, helped me to get a step back and look at the situation in a more easy way. I don't talk about you and lite ... which is a special situation for you and her. I talk about the fun you can have with lots of people, if you accept the rules of chatting and see it more easy. And the other unpleasant stuff .... not every day is a sunday. But I think there are some sundays there!
So, Double_T, i don't know about your personal problems, but i would like to have you back in the chatroom.

Please feel free to email me, if you want to.

Whatever your reasoning for this decision, I hope you have made the right one.Take care.

 

[General Zod]

Take care DT I will miss chatting with you in the room I hope everthing comes up ok with you General Zod

 

[TickledToDeath]

First off..DT...Good luck and I hope you have made the decision that best suites your heart but don't dress it in all black.

Second...I hope you still will consider coming to gatherings, including the NEST in Philly and Hyenas Club gatherings which you will Always be welcome at!

Lastly...I will make the same offer to you as I do anyone both here and in the world outside tickling....IF you need or want to talk...I am here for ya!

[email protected]
I will give you my phone # too if you want to chat there.

Otherwise...be well...be safe...be happy.


Sincerely,

TTD
Friend and confidant to all who need one.

 

[QBWeaver]

I don't know what happened DT but I'll miss chatting with you. Contact me directly if you want to at [email protected]. Anytime my friend.

[Double T]

I am, to say the least deeply touched by your concern.It feels good to have friends like you, and if I ever return to the chat room, I hope you will all still be there. I am indeed still very interested in gatherings, but I dont travel well. (wheelchair bound, limited use of arms and legs.) So they would have to be really close! Whithout help. Philly might as well be on the moon, but if a gathering is nearby, and I can get some assistance,I'll be there, and we can do a lot more than just chat! Again, thank you for your replys. They help more than you know! See you in real life!

Well
