Happy 2019

OOB D.O.S.

Saturday 12/29/18

Welcome Everyone, my last chance to be with you for the year. As with every year before, it's been an honor to be part of your weekend, to be involved in a portion of your life. I'm the one that needs you. For that there is immeasurable gratitude.

Most of us have been around the sun enough times to know it really isn't any big deal. What's time, other than something we are running shorter on with each passing day? We have to wring these because we probably squandered too many in the past. Don't be harsh on yourself-you're not alone and we don't need to waste time on it now, we wasted it then. Choosing to change doesn't need a new year, merely a deep desire to be a new you, we are always a work in progress if we don't surrender.
I won't gush about the fresh, new year, same as the old years. ( Butchering a little " The Who " on that one. ) Time to turn a new leaf or any of that happy horseshit, to paraphrase a friend, is coming from my fingers. It will be another year of aging, worrying, losing friends, illness and whatever else comes our way. Golden Years, my ass. Another lie you have to outgrow, oh well, used to it by now. Truly, everything you knew was wrong-sure hope I didn't pass too much of it on, lol. No whine, just the reality, like I thought we'd all live forever ?( where's the sarcasm font ? ) My life or your's, in it's own way will experience what life has in store. We'll meet it head on because of who we are, what we each have become through what brought us together. We'll meet it with our best, to us, there is no other way. We'll share the pain and the joy where Warriors meet.
Don't worry, I'm not that pessimistic, just realistic. What you might call a pessimistic optimist. Plan for the worst and if it's better than that, throw a party. We wish you and yours all the best. Cherish each day. Make habits that are good for you and good for the world. Keep it simple and work to succeed. The smallest of ripples change the world around us, toss a few pebbles. We don't need to say farewell to the year, we say farewell to each day. Maybe we merely survived, maybe it was a wonderful day. It was a success, regardless the outcome, because you'll start each day with hope, to try again or out do the day before. As a wise man said, " Aim high, you'll surely fail numerous times. If you never shoot for the target you are guaranteed to never hit it." May the next 365 " nows " be kind to you and all you hold dear.
" Leave No I Love You Unsaid, No Hug Ungiven ". Peace, Oldhair

" Out Of Bounds"

It is with very deep sadness  that I come to you with the news that my co host of the last four years  has passed away unexpectedly. His name is Lou Buratti and he has done more for the hepatitis c community than most ever think of doing. He will be missed by thousands of people that we have helped over the years. We both defeated the hep c virus and were a very positive force in the hep c community. This loss of life as we know is temporary as we will meet again in heaven at a later time. Lou Buratti was a very intelligent and caring man, and absolutely the most wonderful person I have ever been blessed knowing. I will continue our dream of loving and supporting anyone going through the journey of treatments and making sure that quality of life is the best it can be for you the hep c sufferer. His life will always be remembered and cherished because he was one in ten million, and he gave everything he could to helping others. He is now a legend and I will carry his torch f...

" THE HEALING PLACE"

Image
As I read all of your true concerns for me and for Lou,  I am listening and learning from all of you. I know everything that has happened in the past and it was very painful for both of us.  That is why he built OOB.org for me,  to protect me from all of this heartache. I am strong, and I am very fragile as I go through the forum and allow these people to at least have their last say. I want it to be a healing time for all of us no matter how difficult it is for me, this is about the man I cherished,  and he taught me real love for all people. As all of you know he was a brilliant man. I think people felt threatened by his genius because everyone wants to be intelligent and gifted as Lou, no one could ever fill his shoes and it must be taken as an opportunity to make this place better than ever before by finding the good in everyone. So with his death I will hopefully teach some of his love to you and to the people that tried so hard to hurt him. ...
