Bugs Come Bugs.....Bring your butt home ....You guys all pulled me through my slump this summer,so it's time to here from you.I have missed your posts on all my new knife pictures on shop talk.
I tell you what I don't know what I would have done without the support of all my buddies here on the forums this summer and then this tragedy hit and I almost fell back into my Depression,but I pulled through it and it was because of the support of you and the others here on the forums that believed in me.
Please email me when you can I have a something for you that I believe that you are going to like.If you w2ill email me your number I will call you,and we can talk....
Hope everything else is going good with you.

Hey maybe if we add him some pictures here to look at maybe that will help cheer him up.It is worth a try!!!!
What do you think of this one Bugs ????;)
 
I got to talk to bugs today.He has just been really depressed and watching the news allot after the attack on the towers.I told him that he needed to turn the TV OFF and come join us on the Forums again and that might cheer him up.I did get him to get on the forums long enough to look at the new knives I had made and give me his opinion.He liked them.
He said that he hasn't even opened a email since 9-11-01 so I guess he has been in a really down state of mind.He hasn't even been lurking here any.I asked him to at least check out this post and he would see that he has friends here that would help him out and try and cheer him up.
Great Talking to you Bugs!!!
Bruce
 
Bugs,
Its great to hear thay you're OK and just sitting out for awhile. Come on back and say "HI". We've missed you and as G2 suggested, we need to have you pop that great avatar on us occasionally.
 
Bugs3x--I had noticed that you hadn't posted in a while. Glad to see that I am not the only one who missed your presence on these forums. Hope to see you here again soon.
Take care,
--Josh
 
Bugs, click on the "Post Reply",and come on back and get active on the forum again.
 
So as you can see bud, we really do want to see you get back to the forums. You are missed. Maybe spending time with your friends here can help to take your mind off of at least some of what has transpired. I know that we all wish that we could do something that would allow us to go back to the way we were before 9-11, but we can't. We can only go forward and do the best we can to make sure that this never happens again.

I hope that you are getting by, that things are getting better and that we will soon be reading more of your sometimes pain in the as*, always thoughtful posts.
 
Hi all. Thanks very much for your concern. UW Mitch called on Monday, I guess, and I talked with Bruce Evans yesterday by phone.

The primary reason I have so much time to devote to the forums, is the fact I'm disabled. There are 4 bases for that: PTSD; clinical depression; fibromyalgia; and migraines. Obviously, being quite obsessive fits in there somewhere too.

My son awakened me on the morning of 9/11 to tell me that a plane had crashed into a building in New York. That was before the second plane hit. Possessing a good dose of paranoia goes with PTSD, I fear. I was sure it was a terrorist attack. Was able to see the 2nd plane hit. Basically, since then, almost all my waking time has been devoted to watching television news. I hadn't been on the internet since then until yesterday, when I looked at a couple of Bruce's knives while talking to him. I opened a couple pieces of e-mail on about the Saturday or Sunday and responded to them. Other than that, I've not looked at any e-mail either.

I owe 2 people money. I'm good for it, I just can't yet tear myself away from the TV. However silly it may sound, getting on to write this message is one of the most difficult things I've done. Until after any military strikes against Afghanistan are complete, I can't promise that I'll be back on, or get my mail and obligations taken care of. It is very embarrassing to expose how much my mental illness controls me and my life sometimes, but there it is.

My uncle died a few days ago, and that has helped keep me in the combination paranoia, depression, and hyper alertness that have gripped me for these 3 weeks.

As fast as I can, I'll be back, and making everyone wonder why I post so much.

Again, thanks for your concern. I can't tell you how much it means to me. I live a very solitary life, essentially having only one friend, and one cousin with whom I communicate fairly frequently, who has just recently been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. This is particularly depressing because our mutual aunt was totally disabled by MS from the time we were young until her death.

I really need to stop thinking about the terrorist situation at least part of the time, but am unable to do so at present. I am working at it.

Thanks,
 
Bugs, welcome back. Don't feel bad about fixating on the attack. We're all doing that. Focus on rejoining us now and thinking about what we are going to do about it.
 
Bugs,

So glad you got back on your computer to type this response. We are all very worried about you. And as far as friends with whom you communicate with - what are we? I honestly feel like the forums are loaded with friends (some I have met, some I have not) with whom I converse daily.

I hope you can continue to going us on the forums. There's even a show in Tacoma, WA at the end of the month, and I'd really like to meet you there.

~Mitch
