I just learned that my best friend in high school died today after a long illness. We lost touch after I graduated and he moved to San Diego. He very recently reconnected with his family after nearly 40 years. I don't know what to say.

Oh hell, there's nothing you can say that will suffice. Nobody can, even the best talkers. It just hurts, and you have to let it hurt. No consolation, I know. Hugs to you. Keep talking to us.

40 years is a long time to not see someone. Do you feel nothing hearing this news, but feel like you are supposed to? Or are you surprised at your emotions for someone hasn't been part of your life for decades?

fargon · 01-24-2015, 07:56 AM

I was surprised at the emotions that I felt. When I joined the Coast Guard we drifted apart, I saw him briefly in '82 for about 15 minutes he said he would call me, he never did. I tried to call him a couple of days later but his number was disconnected. I would hear from his siblings from time to time, and he was always doing well. Then 2 years ago I heard that he was in the hospital but it was nothing to be concerned about. I asked for his contact information, but never got it. He and his partner did not want to be disturbed. I obeyed their wishes.

It is the best. Most mornings it is on my eggs. Must keep my eyes open for the absurdly large container.

DanaC · 01-26-2015, 07:22 AM

I cannot imagine getting through any sauce bottle ofthat size lol.

Sundae · 01-26-2015, 07:29 AM

I used to have three bottles of Tabasco when I lived with the 'rents.
Standard, Jalapeño and Habanero. It would have been four if I'd seen Chipotle!
Heat and vinegar, love it.

I'd miss the classic shape of the bottle though.
In my topsy turvy world I SEE it every morning, as somehow a full bottle has washed up on the tide of detritus of my chest of drawers. But I never actually use it, as breakfast is like Michigan now.

Why the abstinance?

Tobasco is the firey stuff of the gods! A few drops will render some very divine heat. The summers in Avery Island, its source, are just as hot as the sauce.

Ironically, On several occasions I've been within a few miles of the location, but have not yet taken the tour. No recent travels have extended into the environs of New Iberia.

I just took my Dad to the Health Centre for his B12 injection.

A hundred yards down the road:

Dad: I've forgotten to put my hearing aid in.

Me (sotto voce): Well, I'll just talk to myself then.

Dad: Chuckles.

Which only goes to prove that he isn't deaf, he just listens when he wants to.
