godewey.


I'm on my way to work but I figured I would share something about him. I'll probably tear up but its for a good reason. Dewey shared two stories with me, about 3/4 months ago. He told me details about his life, the losses he had experienced. I felt for him so much. I dislike how unfair the world and life can be, how incredibly rough it can be for some people. So I was there for him, in the way I'm there for anyone in a time of need and he told me that I was magical because I had appeared just when he needed something, to get back on track. I'm so very thankful that I got to know him a little bit. I'll miss him saying I need a dose of vitamin thewaitress!

I'm very hopeful that the afterlife exists and I'm going to live the rest of my life thinking that Dewey and my mother are being party animals, doing all the things they love to do, watching down on the world and being pain and worry free. They deserve that. :)

Beautiful.
Here's to everyone who has a vacant chair in their home.

I happen to have a strong belief in an afterlife. I've had experiences with loved ones that have passed.

"So I was there for him, in the way I'm there for anyone in a time of need and he told me that I was magical because I had appeared just when he needed something, to get back on track."

Thank you for that ๐Ÿ’“

I love to think of Dewey and your mom partying together!

reply

I think about how good a memory he is. And when I am certain I canโ€™t stand itโ€ฆ.I go one moment more and I'm thankful for all the good memories he's given us.

reply

Me too. I knew about DeweyGandhi 1.0, but not about DeweyGandhi 2.0, until Dazed let us know. Thank you, Dazed!

RIP, my dear friend. You were there for me and helped me through a very dark time. I can only hope I was anywhere near there for you.

reply

no thanks needed but youre welcome Cat. :D
me too! I thought about them so much today, having a blast, being wild haha.

reply

Nevermind.

reply

You were there for him in exactly the right way you were meant to be. Trust in that. You gave him joy and laughs. What more could he have wanted?

๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ’“

reply

Nevermind.

reply

You're not on the outside looking in, dearheart.

He had that. He didn't even want his RL friends to know. As Dazed said, and I agree, he just wanted to go on being Dewey, not the guy who was sick and dying. The funny, witty guy, who came here to escape all of that and hang out with us.

I believe Dazed and he became close early on, and it evolved to PMs, and eventually spilling the beans. To another person too, but I won't mention them by name; I'll leave that to them, if they want to or not. With me, it came about because we bonded over dogs on a board, because of what happened on my trip, soon after losing my dog, and he knew I needed someone, so he was there for me. With you, it was all joy and fun and games!

reply

Nevermind.

reply

But like Cat said a few days ago, this was a place where he could forget his troubles and laugh. So in a way, we were all there...here for him.
I never reached out to him either, even when he would say that he would be going away. I had the feeling that something was going on with him but I didn't feel that it was my business.....it was his. Since he didn't specify what his trouble was, I felt that it was best not to say anything.
He and I joked around about the garden shed and I enjoyed that little bit of flirting. He was a charmer. He gave us all little bits of pleasure, and I have no doubt he got something special from each of us.

reply

I didn't know about the garden shed, but am *certain* he loved it!

He was a charmer. He was both a ladies' AND a man's man! He was a people's man. And a dog's man. He was an everyone's man.

reply

The garden shed was just pure silliness. Like Stratego's Basement. Of course, I only invited Dewy. Just nonsensical flirting.

All in all, I will simply say that he was a wonderful man. He made a person feel good. That's a nice legacy to leave behind. Something to work on.....

reply

Thanks for splaining. He was a flirt! But like the good man he was, his heart belonged to his GF ๐Ÿ’“

Couldn't agree more. He made people feel good, and there couldn't be a better legacy than that. I need to work on that too.

reply

Nevermind.

reply

I've got some intimate stuff about my personal life in my pm history with him that I entrusted him with. Nothing bad but actually very powerful. It's just that it's the kind of content trolls would see as fodder for attack and ridicule. He told me he felt honored I chose to share it with him.

reply

Db, I'm afraid I ruined the atmosphere of the party.

Time to get jiggy, everybody!

You did nothing of the kind.

I think Shogun and I should forego this approach for tonight : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E9ydw_aDMg

Currently drinking alone in my garage, radio on and eagerly awaiting a Rick Springfield song...this station goes heavy on the 80s rock so just a matter of time!

ETA: alone but with lots of fine MC company;)

reply

I'm raising a toast to him in my new(ish) place, Mijo lying nearby, drinking hard lemonade soda whatsit from Trader Joe's, in honour of Dewey, with a side toast to GE, currently listening to this:

Cheers to ๐Ÿ˜บand๐Ÿถ
Give Mijo a good rub between the ears from all of us

reply

And of course to Dewey! ๐Ÿป

Thank you, Shogie, and will do ๐Ÿ‘. He's a total attention/love hound ๐Ÿ˜Š

reply

LOL! I drew you out like you did with me before.

reply

Which time๐Ÿ˜?

reply

" That db guy..." It was funny and got my attention.

reply

Whatever works, right๐Ÿ˜€

reply

Exactly. Whatever gets the job done. I think we ended up having some fun after that.

reply

Still having fun

Lets keep that going Amigo...i enjoy your movie knowledge and frankness

reply

I saw Stir of Echoes is on your watch list. Made me feel good.

reply

Yes!
Tmmrw night im doing that double feature we spoke about...

Jacobs Ladder and Stir of Echoes!

reply

Excellent choice for the first day of fall !

reply

Tip of the cap to you

reply

Drinking alone is NOT safe. If it ends up in a brawl, you're always the one to get hurt.

reply

You're ALWAYS right sweetie

I looked at me once
I looked at me twice
If I looked at me again there was gonna be a fight!

Thanks for saving me from a severe beating๐Ÿ˜™

reply

I saved you from a severe beating? I guess your wife's not at home, huh?

reply

My wife has NEVER beaten me!
Shes half Russian and Half Italian

And Im a very fast runner๐Ÿ˜†

reply

I was always known to be a fast runner...I usually caught what I was chasing.๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Just a warning...

Yikes!
Duly noted๐Ÿ˜ณ

But, remember thereโ€™s three of me.๐Ÿฅค๐Ÿฅค๐Ÿฅค

Each one prettier than the last๐Ÿ˜™

reply

Love ๐Ÿ’• you forever! Just got back from taking granddaughter & grandson to dinner. Iโ€™m stuffed with pulled pork, but....also stuffed with ๐Ÿ’— for the Shoggie! Be still beating โค๏ธ!

reply

I hope you had a perfectly sweet nightโค๏ธ

Lets read all of this again in the morning to see that we gave our man a proper send off

Im still kicked in the face by dewey's final rest but i can only hope we did him justice

Just wish i could have shook his hand, gave him the knowing wink and poured him a refreshment

RIP Amigo...none will be better
All of our love Dude

reply

Does this mean you're abandonating us already?

reply

And how much have you had of the adult beverage?

โ€œabandonatingโ€? ๐Ÿ˜

reply

Hahaha!
Been a long, sad, funny night
Im gonna tuck GlenEllyn in๐Ÿ˜

reply

I began โ€œDewey Dayโ€ with sadness; because of you Iโ€™m ending it with laughter!๐Ÿ˜… Dewey is smiling๐Ÿ˜‡.

reply

dewey wont ever stop smiling...i believe in that Heaven Jazz..i'll see him there im sure

reply

Not enough, apparently. I'm still in a bit of a funk. I need some good laughs, I think. And another beverage. Adult-type.

reply

Priceless! ๐Ÿ˜‚

reply

No Dear Glen

Never

I'm happy here with all of you wonderful MC lovies of mine

I will be here for ages

reply

Oh good. Time for another round.

reply

Hiccup...GlenEllyn is abandonating us for another brewsky, but will return.

reply

We always have her back

reply

I detected a slur in that response.

reply

I meant no slur... What did i say that was bad?
I consider you my pal so be honest

reply

A slur is not bad. It just means you've arrived in that place of sort of nirvana.

reply

I see slurs differently...i dont say those things

I think we are just all drunk, hell, I know I'm wasted...I think bad words have been exchanged and i hate that but im really good with people so I can make this work
Back me up

reply

I kun shill walk de line how bout u ?

reply

Im going to assume that means we recruit new people, help them fit in and welcome them to MC...Im all in on this

reply

As long as it's good recruits like MooseIndian and MichiganJFrogg, then I'm in also.

reply

Most certainly... Only the best

MichFrog is badly missed

Sorry we lost him

reply

Same here. He gave me hope that we could attract good good members.

reply

Are you certain you arenโ€™t racing in from of her to get the brewsky before her....โ€slwaysโ€ ( Iโ€™m waiting for spellchecker) OK now... spellchecker must be hitting the hard stuff!

reply

Typo...my bad

reply

Iโ€™ve here oh good grief! Now Iโ€™m talkin like you..

reply

LOL. I'm not drunk enough yet. I can still type and remember (mostly) what I said. There have been a few nights where the following day I look at my posts and think, "I typed that?? When did I say that??"

reply

I wish I hads me a hill to slid3 down so as to hold up my res Solo cup to ours Dewey

reply

Wow, you are typeslurring. I'd suggest setting the Solo cup down and using a straw, but I don't think you can get the straw into the cup.

reply

Whatsa draw?

reply

Um, draw is what you do with a pencil or crayon.

If you meant a straw, then these are straws.

reply

Im a light sleeper and theres a window right their... Figure if i jump and land in the ferns it should be fine๐Ÿ˜†

reply

Famous last words!

reply

Its a perfect plan
Dont jinx me you pain in the neck!

reply

Dang, I hope there are a lot of ferns then.

reply

Not if I listen to what the voices in my head tell me to do.

reply

"Keep drinking!"?

reply

That's at least one command.

reply

"Kiss Stratego!" is the other one, right?๐Ÿ˜˜

reply

I'm an immediate puppet on that one.

reply

So what are they telling you now, sweetie?

reply

I'm going to attempt something that Dewey always enjoyed on here, to quote him..." bringing two threads together full circle. " I managed to do it once that I can recall and he loved it. I think those that are astute will get this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRmugflikCw

reply



"I know, but I'm just surprised how much "behind the scenes" stuff is going on around here. I'm just wondering what I did to make one of my favourite people feel like he could not share anything with me. I'm sure it's the booze talking."
Booze or no booze, Put yourself in his place.
People share all sorts of shit over the internet...
Is terminal illness one of them? Any illness is something personal.
Hell!, I hurt all over sometimes! I'm OLD! I may strike out at people when I'm feeling particularly ornery, but I refuse to tell a whole board of people what is ailing me. That dosen't excuse bad behavior. If Dewy has taught me anything, it's to take your shit elsewhere.... don't unload on strangers on the internet.
The "behind the scenes" stuff was his and his alone.
I'm happy to have known the man....
I'm drunk, but I'm talking from the heart.

reply

Nevermind.

reply

Ok. As usual, I have it all wrong. The last thing I want is an argument. I only read your post and wanted to respond. No hard feelings here. I hope you can understand where I was coming from.
I've had my fill of booze and I'm about to turn in. Take care.... EVERYONE!
Goodnight, Dewy.....

reply

Something about Dewey made me not want to be an anonymous person behind a keyboard. It was during the thread where we told each other a little info about ourselves, MissMargoโ€™s โ€œSet The Record Straightโ€ thread. He was the only one I gave my true name via PM. Reading all of your replies itโ€™s apparent most of you shared things with him because he gained your trust. As I wrote before, he drew us in because we sensed the wonderful trusting person he was. I believe he personified love and trust...otherwise we wouldnโ€™t still feel the loss. We each in our own way took him to be more than a cyber pal...he became a personal friend even though we never met him face to face. He was a blessing in so many lives.

reply

I've found out he truly was an amazing human being in real life. It's sad that a tragedy played a big part in that, but at the same time also fortunate, if you know what I mean.

Too bad you can't ban this nonsense...did you bump this? Why??
Footboy and OP/thewaitress idiot were utter trash...let them piss off to wherever they may want to and good riddance

Hownos has never been 'nasty' in the 3 years I've been chatting with him

reply

the post should be deleted. it shows why he was banned in the first place.

reply

The scum we got rid of so long ago hardly deserve a mention but yes, lots of that nonsense should be nuked off the site

reply

he has found a way to edit his old deleted posts. if i were a mod i would just delete the post.

reply

When he's not worthless and high or disappointing his imaginary 'family' he's a fairly clever rodent

reply

This made absolutely no sense to me either, M5; bad judgement and I've always seen you as the coolest and best Mod here.

No one here misses that most divisive and destructive poster (troll).
