I *Heart* The Internet

I can not properly articulate or fully express just how much *I love all of you* who have been helping me through this recent little rough patch.

Some of you made me LAUGH OUT LOUD when I was sobbing and covered in tears. Some of you were way too cute and all too willing to ‘EGG HIS CAR’ or ‘THROW DOWN’ for me. Some of you gave me EXCELLENT words of WISDOM. Some of you have been a sturdy SHOULDER to CRY ON. Some of you handed out very much needed HUGS. Some of you offered to come to my RESCUE and some of you KEPT ME COMPANY for days. Some of you sent me THE BEST EMAILS of ALL TIMES. And some of you reminded me WHAT I AM WORTH.Β  More than ONCE.

And ALL OF YOU offered your undying support and love to me.

For all of that?

I am forever grateful.

Thank You – My DearestΒ  Internet.

I want to personally thank The Following People for being so incredibly awesome:

    I will admit I had a little cry this weekend when I thought about you. I just wanted this to work out for you. You know? Sometimes life is so unfair. I was thrilled when you told us you had met a new man and for it to turn out this way as a result of you simply being honest about your life just stinks. I am veering between anger and sadness about it. I can’t imagine what you must be feeling. Yet despite this, you are an example to us all of how to act with dignity. Bravo. I am always here for you. Always. I want you to know that. XXXX

  2. As crazy as it sounds, my friends live in my computer too as the cartoon states.
    A wise person once told me that “blogging friends ARE real friends …”

    Glad to see you are doing well with the help of some wonderful people here Meleah. Gives you faith in the world, no ??

  3. Noemi says:

    Another hug, Meleah? >:D<
    Hey, you’ll get through this one way or another πŸ™‚

  4. Lance says:

    I have some of them friends in the computer too – and with you, Meleah, it’s a two way street. Friends care…and look at the wonderful support system you have. Sending you another hug also – on a day that’s a littel brighter, I sure hope… I care. And, you’re important.

    Be well, my friend.

  5. My friends live in my computer too. Anytime, babe Your so totally worth it.

  6. Natural says:

    i have good aim in the cover of night when i have reason to be out of my bed and mad. anytime you want a window smashed, you got my numbers, just call me.

    hugs.

  7. agg79 says:

    It’s heartening to know you are not suffering through this roller coaster ride alone. You may feel like you are getting the short end of the stick, but look at all of the people who are out there throwing support your way. I still feel you are one brave, classy chica and deserve a better deal. BTW – the offer still stands (we can work him over) – just say the word…

    Ok, everybody, all together now <<>>

  8. Lee says:

    This is what “friends” are all about. One thing I’ve learned in my life is that being supportive and caring really doesn’t cost me a dime. But the returns on the investment are priceless.

  9. Ingrid says:

    Awww. Thanks, Meleah. I am sorry this happened to you, and I hope you don’t completely lose your faith in humanity.

    Many, many hugs again.

  10. CourtneyRyan says:

    I love you too!

    I can’t think of better friends to have, even if some of them do live in my computer…someday we’ll share germs, and it’ll be AWESOME! πŸ˜‰

    Keep your chin up. Remember, it ALL happens for a reason, maybe the reason this all happened is to remind you just how strong you really are (WonderWoman Strong!) and what you’re worth (Everything and A LOT!)?

  11. moooooog35 says:

    For the record, I’ve always been willing to throw you down.

    Oh.

    Throw down FOR you.

    Nevermind.

  12. cmk says:

    Isn’t this exactly why we’re here? πŸ™‚

    Glad to hear you are doing somewhat better. You continue to be in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. xoxo I’m here for you, as always.

  13. Jaffer says:

    I so want to give you a hug ! A big {{Bear Hug}} !

    But I can and am only going to hug the monitor !

    (Perhaps that way my boss would think I love being at work and give me a raise)

    πŸ˜‰

  14. Jaffer says:

    OK I did not get that pay-raise.

    Instead he told me I was in-charge for the day.

    Uh-Oh !

  15. Hugs and support to you always!!

  16. Ricardo says:

    We got your back. πŸ™‚

  17. I didn’t think you could have ‘real’ internet friends, but I have learned that I was so wrong!

    I am sad that this had to happen to you, but glad it happened now and not further down the road. You will find somebody that is truly meant for you and be glad it didn’t work out with ‘him’.

  18. You’ll get through it girl :-D. I have faith that it’s just another stepping stone to where you will find your happy.

  19. Meleah says:

    Selma:
    I cried a lot this weekend too. And your paragraph/comment expresses MY EXACT thoughts/feelings.

    Speedy:

    Im just lucky to have REAL BLOG FRIENDS!

    Noemi:
    Ill take all the hugs I can get my hands on

    Lance:
    Aw. Thank you.

    The Girl:

    I love you too babe.
    xoxoxo

    Valerie
    :
    You are too much!
    πŸ™‚

    Agg79:

    Yes I am VERY lucky to have all of YOU to help me get though this.
    Ya’ll are awesome

    Lee:
    INDEED!
    xoxoxox

    Ingrid:
    Thank you very much too.
    My heart is still broken and I dont believe that I will ever find true love. But at least I am starting to get over him.. SIGH. Why did he have to send me a damned text message. Now I don’t know WHAT to do?

    Courtney Ryan:
    I love you TONS.
    And oh yes, we will share germs and nyquil one of these days.


    moooooog35
    :
    See. Shit like that is what held me together this whole week.

    CMK:
    Thank you.
    I love you.

    Jaffer:
    he he he
    If I was in charge for the day?
    Id close!

    Cathy-wheresmydamnanswer

    Thank you.

    Ricardo:
    You’re good like that

    Babs:
    I never thought all my internet people would be come the people I feel the closest to in the whole wide world.

    Kristy – Where’s My Damn Answer:

    I feel a little better each day.
    He sent me a text message today and Im trying to decide how I want to deal with that.

  20. Everyone here cares about you Meleah.

    If he calls you/ contacts you, go with your gut feeling. No decision is good/bad decision. Every decision you make will lead to somewhere, and no matter where it leads you, we’re here for you.

  21. Dazd says:

    Egg his car…damn, why didn’t I think of that! Well I have plenty more ideas if you need any. The 100,000 ants under the doorway is always a winner.

    Glad to see you getting back to yourself dahling. πŸ™‚

  22. I think it’s a real testament to you and your support that so many people have reached out to you. You get what you give…and you give a lot. You’ve survived much worse than this. Cry. Yell. Watch bad movies and TV. Lay around in your PJs…..but it’ll all be in the past soon enough. Someone once said to me about a guy I loved…”He may get you on the train, but I don’t think he’s going to be able to make the station with you.” He’s just your train man.

  23. Oscar says:

    We heart you too.

    Life goes on. Another chapter for your book.

    You become a better person through all of this. It may seem unending but it does work out in the long run. You’re a strong woman. Perty too.

  24. maria says:

    you are too sweet for words meleah. some days you blow my mind!

    i heart you, girlie! πŸ™‚

  25. Random Chick says:

    Oh Meleah….I’ve just been catching up on things and I’m so sorry to hear that you were dating an A@# HOLE! Use it as fodder for your book! Then when you are famous, he will be hating life because he threw away the best chick to ever give him the time of day!

    Do you know why you get so much love from your blogging buddies? Because you are a truly wonderful woman who cares equally about all of us. It’s karma, baby. Soon you will meet someone who really sees what he’s got. I believe that and I hope you do too.

    We love you, too!

    P.S. Sorry I’ve been MIA. I injured my right hand doing something totally stupid but I’m better now.

  26. Oh no Speedcat lives in my computer that’s crazy. No wonder it acts up all the time.

    I have to admit I have been thinking about how this will all turn out a lot since I read what happened… I have to wonder what is really going on this guys head?

    I see pictures of your son below- he is such a cutey. And that’s all that really matters is the love of family and friends.

  27. That cartoon is so true it makes me a little uncomfortable. It hits below the belt, as they say.

  28. Meleah says:

    RMH:
    Its reassuring to know that I have all of you to count on and who love me JUST THE WAY I AM!

    Dazd:
    LOL.
    Your are too much!

    L’uragano (Hurricane)
    Aw. Thank you so much sweetheart.

    Oscar:
    I am strong woman, with even more motivation to write that goddamed book of mine already!

    Maria:

    I *heart* you too.


    RandomChick:

    I NEED TO TALK TO YOU STAT.
    Thanks for your sweet words.
    xoxox

    Michelle:

    Thankfully i have awesome friends and an amazing family.

    Richard W:

    Its the TRUTH for me. And I love it.

  29. Momo Fali says:

    No need to thank any of us! We all know that you would be (and have been there) to offer your support. Wish I could give you a great big hug. I am sending one your way.

  30. Manoj says:

    There’s a saying that my dad used to tell me – you can’t pick who you are related to, but thank God you can pick your friends :o)
    You have a lot of great friends on the Internet, and we’re all rooting for you! True happiness will come your way one day – the outpouring of support and love for you on this blog for you is a true and sincere indication of that! Take care of yourself!

  31. WZRD9832 says:

    Well I guess since I have actually had the privelage to have met meaculpa in the flesh , (I CAN BOAST SHE IS MORE BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON). I am also privyed to having danced with said flesh ( SHWING!!!!) To all your blogg friends they are the best . My props to them for helping you through your tough time . Hope to see you again this year . The healing road is sometimes bummpy but with all your helping bloggers you shall overcome and this to shall pass to happier times PEACE E

  32. dcr says:

    So, you all live in my computer? What happens when I shut it down?

    I’m guessing those strange noises I hear when my cell phone gets too close to the computer is Speedy. He lives in my computer and his cell phone, so when my cell phone gets too close to the computer, it confuses him. That’s my theory.

    Glad I could be of whatever help I was.

    Why are some of us asterisked? What are we being marked for? Should I duck and cover?

  33. Meleah says:

    Momo:
    Hugs to you too.
    xoxox

    Manoj:
    I love LOVE love my friends.

    Eddie:
    AW. We did have fun at that banquet last year. I hope to see you soon too.
    πŸ™‚

    DCR:
    Dood you left one of the most awesome comments that helped me feel better and see things clearly. So, yeah, THANK YOU for THAT.

  34. Loni says:

    LOL- I love that toon. It’s true!
    You are more than welcome.
    We are here for you πŸ™‚

  35. kellypea says:

    Okay, so here I am to check and see how you’re doing. Clearly, I’m in the shit pile where I belong. I confess I am an ostrich who keeps her head stuck in the hole that is food land. I am trying to get back. Trying poorly. *sigh* Does it count that you were in my lucky star gazing at night and that I wished on many for you? You’re on the permanent list.

  36. Meleah says:

    Loni:
    You Rock.

    KellyPea
    :
    Yes. That counts big time.
    xoxox

  37. That’s what friends are for, internet or otherwise πŸ˜€

  38. Rolando says:

    Awe dang now you’re gonna make me cry. You had me at ‘I *Heart*’. L

    Loves and hugs, Ro

  39. Eva says:

    It is REALLY HARD (twss) to give you kisses and hugs when you are 3000 f-ing miles away, Miss M! But alas, my cyber-love will have to suffice. You are a wonderful, beautiful person and the world is brighter because you’re in it. Anyone who disagrees with that can kiss my big butt, and then they will get a knuckle sandwich.

    I *heart* Meleah

  40. Meleah says:

    Nick:
    Agreed!

    Rolando:
    Aw.
    πŸ™‚

    Eva:
    Woman, I love you! So.Very.Much!!
    xoxoxoxo

  41. paisley says:

    … and i hope you know we love you too……

  42. I’m behind you!

    My computer lives in my friends too. Um, did I say that right. te he .

  43. You’re the best and if some guy doesn’t see that he needs glasses…or a kick in the cajones.

    Anyhoo, wish I could give you a great big hug in person…any chance you’ll be going to BlogHer in July???

  44. Mark says:

    You are truly blessed to be surrounded by such a great community.

  45. Loz says:

    Mel, when i started blogging i didn’t realise the support that could be gained from an online community. What you have received back here is because you have been one to give support to others πŸ™‚

  46. SoLow says:

    You’re more than welcome, Meleah. I’m sure I can speak for everyone by saying that what we said was FROM.THE.HEART. I know that’s true for me.

    So glad you’re getting your feet back under you… πŸ™‚

  47. Meleah says:

    Paisley:
    I do know that. Thanks sweety.

    AIR:
    Aw.
    xoxoxo
    I love you woman

    EmployeeNo3699
    :
    I wish I could come to BlogHer.
    But I doubt it!
    I’ll take that hug though if I do make it out there!

    Mark:
    Yes. I really am.

    Loz:

    I really do work my ass off to support my blogger friends!
    Because I like to. And because I want to!

    SoLow:
    You have been so super cool through this whole ordeal.
    Thank you.

  48. terri says:

    Now if I could just figure out how to get you here so we could go whoop it up and have a girls’ party night. No boys allowed.

  49. StatMan says:

    I’m a pal of CourtneyRyan’s (she pointed me here) and I can say that a good way to help yourself and to let loose and have a little (OK maybe a lot) of fun is to join us for her festivities in a couple weeks.

    No, it’s not a cheap plug – it’s an honest to goodness testimonial.

    I swear!

  50. Meleah says:

    Terri:
    One day….
    I am going to host/have the biggest baddest blogger party
    EVER.
    And…You better come!

    Statman:
    Any friend of my beloved Courtney’s is a friend of mine.
