An Update on Quinn and an Invite
This evening, as we all started gathering, slowly, into the chatroom, we had an unexpected visitor. Mildred. Quinn's Mildred.
Mildred just wanted to let everyone know that Quinn and his clan are together after the funeral service for his brother. She spent a few moments with us and it was clear that she's just as wonderful as our Mighty Quinn is. It's my hope that she'll come back to chat anytime.
Anyone who would like to join us tonight, the link is above. Hugs to all, and to all a good night.

Mildred rocks. And so does Q.
Q is the heart of this site. Q is without fear.
I said a prayer for Q yesterday. I hope he and his family find peace.

Yes, beautifully said, Dickon.
Mildred passed along Quinn's thanks for all the love and support and hugs.

Thanks for that Lis. Please pass on my heartfelt sympathies to Quinn and his family for me. They are in my thoughts tonight. I was wondering why he had been absent, and seem to have missed the terrible news. I'm overseas and have a bad connection so can't come to the chatroom to say something in person.

Okay, I'll start.
Quinn, you utterly witty bastard. I miss you very much and can't even begin to fathom how you feel. If I could, I would absorb some of your sorrow.
(hugs)
Keep breathing, friend.
Mildred is lovely.

I'll second, Bwak.
Quinn, I hugz ya, man. My heart goes out to you and yours. Loss is never easy, but part of the process is holding onto what remains. What remains is the memories and the love, they will never go away, and what also remains is a wonderful lady named Mildred, who loves you and cared enough to tell us you are okay.
Hugs, my friend, and a (clink) in toast to your brother.

Quinn: you, and you and I, have talked about those people and things we love; as we have tangled -- occasionally -- about those things,unspoken, which we fear. But either circumstance means that I am not entirely in your corner -- in a heartbeat -- when it is about whomever you care about who is essential to you.
I have been away this week, and so do not know what happened. But I understand that your older brother died.
I'm so sorry. For your brother, for his family, for you.
Quinn, we at TPM care. For you, and yours.
Take (our) care.

This is indeed sad. My thoughts are with Quinn and family, even though I'm out on the road and have very little connectivity for most of my days.

Hugs the Old Grouch. Ride safely, friend.
I hope Quinn sees all of the love tonight too.

Oh good. Now I am drunk enough. I only get a good drink at the beginning of the month...hahahaha...so here goes:
Rowan, one of my favorite bloggers, sets up this post telling all newbies and non techies like myself that he is available to answer pc tech problems. A pure act of charity and Christianity (Blesses himself) and chivalry, I might add. And Rowan answered all these questions and then, of course PCA shows up. One of our best techs and everything is going fine.
So I am about to sign off and i notice Q has showed up with a comment. So naturally, I have to find out what this gem is going to be.
Dear sir, thank you for all your help today. I have a specific problem, I have piles
Then Q proceeds to described these legions on his butt varying from the size of my brain to the size of Larry H's brain.
Now I could be all techie and just cut and paste here. But no. It is more fun to recount. I laugh so hard. I mean I have to reply but who cares.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, I have ever read or seen on the Comedy channel has ever made me laugh like Q...at times when I wished I were dead. no kidding.
We all wish Q the best.
THE END

Thanks For the vote of confidence and praise DD. And I agree regarding Sir Quin. He makes me laugh and he makes me think.
It is heartbreaking to lose those you love and my heart goes out to Quinn and the family and friends.

Quinn,
Remember meeting you (that stormy night in Staebler’s Place).
Here now to empathize with your loss.
Lost someone close lately too, and my world changed.
I miss your brain and the way my own breath rises into
Giant Guffaws when I read you
AND the way my heart feels better too. ☼

Quinn,
I too haven't been here much lately and am so saddened to learn of your brother's passing.
Please know that you are in the hearts and minds of all here; hoping that you find some modicum of solace and warmth from our circle as we attempt to reach out and hug you close.

What is there left to say that hasn't been beautifully shared and expressed above? Hurry home, Quinn. This site needs your input to purr, just as we all need you to fill the skip in our collective heartbeat.
Much love,
Melissa

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Q. I echo others when they say you are missed. Your absence leaves a big hole here.
Our hearts are with you.

Quinn, if I were the tenth part as erudite as you, I'd say something deep and inspirational. Unfortunately, my deepest condolences will have to suffice, for want of wordsmithing skill.
Come back when you can. We'll all cheer when you do.
