Things as a result of this forum

This thread is for sharing something this forum is directly responsible for in your life. Big asses and anti social behavior out side of the asylum don’t count .

The one I share came as result of this thread:

http://www.asylumnation.com/asylum/...t=famous+people

Thanks WastedPotential, it was truely a gift to hear from an old friend



You may not remember me but I was on a show called Tuesday's Child in New Orleans when I met you.My name is ****** *****. I have tried to contact you a couple times to thank you for the kindness you showed me as a child.I don't think you can know how much it meant to me. I was proud to know you and it made me feel important and like I had value.I missed you when you went to CNN and would watch you and proudly proclaim you were my friend. Anyway, I am happy I have found contact info on you just so I can make sure you knew you left an impression on me. I am sending a picture of us on the riverboat Natchez, it may help you remember (I got a little better looking ). I hope you are well and happy, and I hope life has rewarded you with the things you deserve. Just a note to say thank you. With LoveShante *****

-------------------------------------------------
RE

Of COURSE I remember you !!!!
I still have that same pic .... and the crazy thing is was looking at it just the other day !!!! You have crossed my heart OFTEN and I've always said a prayer for you .... and hoped we'd find each other again.
Before I go further, here's ALL the contact info.
my work email is best (check it daily) **********.org
I work for ***** **** ... prevention/intervention/treatment non-profit in Winston-Salem, NC .... I think you were in Fayetteville when you wrote YEARS ago.
w, direct: -------------------
cell: ---------------------
home: ------------------
WOW, where to even begin?
What are you doing? Where do you live? How ARE you?
I've often wondered what would of happened if I'd been able to "adopt" you ... altho sheesh, it wasn't really a "parenting" kind of thing ... that social worker was a tad "unsocial." Ah.
I left CNN 4 years ago ... ************(hence the non-profit work) ... still doing journalism tho, I'm the editor of the ************ newsletter ... it's on the website www.******* my first edition is the Dec/Jan issue and we're getting the third issue out right now.
Oh MAN! ... this is SO COOL!
Now, fyi, I'm out of town from this coming Thursday morning until June 25.
Oh and I always always always thought you were the most beautiful thing going !!....jeeze but that hair thing of mine was pretty goofy back then! Guess we've both got a little time under our belts huh?
If you can write back over the weekend, send it to this address ... or better still, use both!
I CAN"T WAIT to hear more!
Ah, and you're welcome and believe you me, the pleasure was and is mine, THANK YOU THANK YOU for searching the web and writing, you've made my day!
write soon, love for all these years, Susan

-------------------------------------------------

So, what has the asylum given you?

as I result of this forum I have learnt that being yourself online is sometimes more important than being the stereotype that everyone expects you to be.

Ack!
My browser is acting all funny like and not submitting when politely asked to.
Um.
Destiny as in "Well, shucks [kicking the dirt]...me and U4..it was just like a fate thing, you know?".
And transparent?
No, I guess no one is.
It just seemed like a good smart ass way to end the post.
I like a good closing line.

My opinion that women are nothing more than sluttish decoration has gone up because of my time here.

Bemusedly my success with women has also skyrocketed.

Go figure.

first i'd like to say, to captain paint chips, referring to the linked thread and william burroughs: hghsiihjdsa;jkb

motherfucker. that is probably the person i would want to meet most of anybody, ever. he's up there with jesus on the "see you in heaven" list.

secondly...i don't know. i don't think i got anything solid from this forum, or anything philosophical that i could pin down. so sorry. maybe another time.

i didn't want to top an old thread, see.
