Crying Camp
Do you think it would help if you enrolled in a crying workshop?
The Good Lady asked me earnestly, tipping her laptop to show me a screen full of women with colourful headscarfs holding each other and grimacing.
A fucking what?!
I sputtered.
A crying workshop. You know because you are not very good at crying. It would be really good for you?
I stood up from the chair I had been sitting in then sat down before promptly standing up again like a Meerkat on the hunt for some chinga.
You, lady. You are cruising for a swift kick in the balls. A crying workshop?! Are you fucking mad?
I said with a mighty and impressive dignity.
To emphasise said dignity, I puffed up my chest and put my hands on my hips and looked off to the side as if to survey a freshly pillaged village.
I don't have balls, Daddy-Bear. Remember?
She said gently as if she indeed had no balls and was in fact a lady of the gentle persuasion.
I snorted grandly out of my nose and made an Elvis strumming a cheap Vietnamese guitar face.
Daddy, it's a safe space and I think you are bottling too much stuff up.
The Good Lady came over and gently stroked one of my majestically muscular man arms.
I do not bottle stuff up, actually.
I said haughtily as if rejecting another of her figs in pastry creations.
You do. You stop yourself crying all the time since your Mum died and it's not healthy. You need to let it all out. It's part of grieving, you know that. Just let it out.
She said this in a calm soothing voice as if gentling a wooden horse.
I shook her hand off and took a step away, still refusing to look at her.
I do let it out. It's just that you are not always there when I do.
I lied with the utmost sincerity.
Hmm. I don't think you do. Will you at least promise to look at the workshop thing if I forward it on?
She asked.
I drew myself up to my full 5 feet and 10 and a half inches and fixed her with a forbidding gaze.
I would rather eat your Father's shit with a spoon than go to crying camp, thank you very much.
I turned and made to leave the room stopping at the door to look back at her.
And we have all seen your Dad's shit.
I stomped out.
this is great❤️

Thanks very much! :0)
What if you went to this class, but you couldn't cry with the rest of them? Would you fail, and then after repeat it? Would they start pulling nose hairs or something to force it? They might give you homework like "Get together with a large group of your man friends, and burst into tears." Too many terrible possibilities - definitely not a safe place.
Oh no. I never even contemplated getting bottom of the class!? That would be even more awful than just going.
What if they started taking my lunch money!?!
Defo a bad idea! :0D
No lunch? That might be worth crying over.
That was probably going a bit too far. Anyone takes my lunch they get the iron hand! :0D
I was hoping they’d do handkerchiefs, tea, and biscuits.
Biscuits!? Handkerchiefs!?! Is it a masturbation group!? Damn, maybe I should look into it!! :0D
Lol.
😂
A real tear-jerking session!
(I though that game was made up to scare you by seniors!?)
I think it is, you world never want to Avondale walk into a changing room with a packet of digestives under your arm just in case though...
And why does the person who lasts longest get classed as the loser, that's mental!!!
This 'game' is wrong from start to finish!
Stick to the poker with sassy lady's, that's what I say!!
This made me really emotional. I’m crying for you now. Can you feel it ? I’ve penciled you in for a Friday cry say 8am your time ? I think instead of going to camp we should do one of those universal things whereby we all cry in solidarity. We shall call it the flood of tears 😭. I’m counting on you joining me for at least a 30 second Session tmro morning, it will be tea time for me which will be the perfect public cry to spread our solidarity in sadness and pain processing.

Maybe we could start a WhatsApp group? Then we could have linked up cry sessions live via be group video link!
I can feel the healing starting already!
The healing is mutual.. I’ll do a dtube video of a solo cry to pave the way and open up the flood gates of emotional discharge.. Big day tmro ! This could be the big push steem needs for mass adoption, get paid to whine ! Wait a minute !

This is it! It is the key to the lock if mad adoption. After all, all social media loves whiners!!
I'm off to start a Facebook group that will get shadow banned!!
😂 I am feeling too heroic to cry 😭
That's the problem!!!
I'm in!!! Pencil me present!
It's happening!! ;0)
I penciled you in for one dogecoin
😂 top-lip in the next room!
Hahaha, the very one!!! :0D
Ahahahha
chinga around here is such an awesome word.
If it's the same word as what I am thinking of them I guess so!!! Hahahaha!! :0D
Ayahuasca.
That is all.
If they are less vomity than baby woodrose seeds then I'm in :0)
Hmm. I can't guarantee that.
Lol, I thought not :0D
HBWR seeds dont make you vommit, you must not have prepared thnem right you have to take off ALL teh coating like ALLL the coating u have to sand them down a LOT! :) or extract the LSA out im tellin ya tho they are fine
same with morning glory u know the drill
I was gonna give pyschotria virids to steemians years ago, they didnt grow big enough biut maybe we can start steem plant growing operation again
I have @ayahuascacoin ready and emailed erowid to create entheogenic steem tribe
Lol, I was young. I just mashed them up in some juice and necked it. It was rather extreme but still good :0)
I sent you 1 Ayahuasca Coin @choogirl
You should put on the episode of friends, the one where Jennifer Aniston is dating Bruce Willis and she insists that he needs to cry, finally gets him to do it and he won't stop blubbering- huge turn off Lol, be careful what you wish for lady boom!
Lol, I'm afraid it would be exactly like that!!! Nobody wants to see that nonsense!!
😆
I want you to go so you can do a show and tell on it. I'm curious what they do at crying camp and how they get them to start the flood.
I love your good lady! :)
!tip .20
Haha, she is nuts but I love her nuts... Ooer!!
I bet they make you think of sad times and childhood and all that nonsense. No thanks!!!
Haha! Oh, I had a happy childhood! I would laugh in their faces. They would fail me big time.
Hehe, my childhood was too. They would find something, something innocuous!
I know! I know!!!
Oh, I can hear it now!
Your mummy isn't your mummy!! Lol
🎁 Hi @meesterboom! You have received 0.2 STEEM tip from @dswigle!

Sending tips with @tipU - how to guide :)
haha, You do know that crying is actually very good for you and is seen as a sign of strength nowadays.
Love this line, it says so much. You are a great story teller and you always cheer me right up with your writing, thanks for that!
curated for CreativeCoin
Hehe, cheers!
I do know! I am just finding it quite hard to let go at the moment! Which is the silliest of man things to do but thats daft mannity in action! LOL!
It is real hard to let go my friend, so many things have been programmed into us, but sure you are already on the right path, first the laughter then the tears xxx
That is very true! Its a journey indeed and the path is long but its still a path!
OH, Oh!! I just checked your profile and you are a Doula!!! My wife is a Doula!!! Hehe, thats so fantastically cool!
Thanks, I am very passionate about birth and the world certainly needs more Doula's hats off to your lovely wife xxxx
It does, she was inspired to become one after our second child because the first birth was a shitshow and the second one we had a doula and it was so much better so she did the training and boom, there she is! I mean, don't get me wrong, I have a right laugh at some of the stuff she tells me of but it is truly a cool thing!
very similar story to mine, I had my second at home after my first was born in hospital and was quite traumatic, 3rd was unassisted. It really is a role that has been wiped out over the years, it is a thing of magic really xxx
I think the ease of our second almost made my wife be tempted for a third. Thankfully we decided to stay with two. I take my hats off to anyone with more. Damn, they take it out of you!
that they do, but you end up becoming a better person because of them too x
Very much so, I am vastly improved by my pair. They change your whole outlook
thanks for the talk on the steemnetwork telegram https://t.me/steemnetwork i disagree with flagging new users who use a single bid bot upvote but maybe we ca create white list applications
I am not using a service to auto flag anyone.
As being discussed on telegram. Steem is different now. Bid-bots cost money to use.
So spoon or workshop? 🤣

Spoon!!!
Manly men don’t cry OR wear gloves.
Is it going to be a teaspoon or a tablespoon?
metric System Token is needed maybe? table spoon, teaspoon? lol how can you measure things like barbarians
heres is 1 dogecoin for you
Hmm, tricky. Might be best to get it all down quick, so tablespoon!
Let's not forget a ladle, depending on how much fiber was consumed the day before.
BOAK!!!!

If i made a video about this on youtube peopel would hate steem, we cant let this be steem, youc an help me man

No automated flags.
Didn't use bid-bots.
Didn't write a thousand pointless random words
There you are!
Haha. What a dick.
Lol, it was rather dickish!
@katharsdrill why wouldnt we use "bid bot abuse @steemflagrewards " on this silly post if you can use it on my @challengedac post??? You have a cool name tho katharsisdrill so i want to make dialogue with you.. im just a lil upset my hard work was attacked as "flag abuse" I honestly want to know what your guidelines are so i can follow them. maybe you didnt know that account was mine and ive been here for years on steem working as hard for steem as humanly possible for a person in my position. I want whats best for steem so please let me find a way to buy promotion for my posts that are SERIOUS projects, i mean, if you cants ee a new steem engine token listing from eos is serious i dont know what is... this is a serious airdrop .. steemians can withdraw ita nd sell it on newdex... i expect CHL to be worth a lot as imw orking on it and am trying to ceatea scotbot tribe using CHLp and its just i wish i didnt have this flag bot abuse thing targeting my posty when i dont feel thst very godo fort steem, even ifit was a mistake or automated accvident, i dunno, thats not godo if a new account cant come to steem and buy a small upvopte of a few dollars for an airdrop giving out something free to steemians... why woudl we turn down free stuff for steemians? As you can tell from my typos I am pretty upset about it but i calmed down anywa thanks for listeninga nd my special extra number if you want to call me about it is 619 500 3748
Ah, you judge the content as silly? You are entitled to. I am also entitled to judge your content as scammy. I won't bother with the rest of the wall of text
I can get annoyed too
My mom and dad died 3 weeks from each other - everybody was saying I have to go and talk to somebody. Why? Would that bring my parents back and to be honest the more you try and encourage and preach for me, the less I listen. Some people benefit from it and some like me just don't. I am a very private person and will deal with my shit in my own way - maybe not the best way according to the books, but the best way for me.
There is no right or wrong way, I just know it was the darkest time I went through but I got through it and even though I will always miss them I can cope with it.
Only you can decide how you want to deal with it - there is no time limit and no right or wrong.
I am so sorry for your loss in such a short time. Good luck with the healing period. And do whatever makes your boat float.... for as long as you want. (just do not push your family away, but they also need to understand that you need some time by yourself and will handle it your way)
OK enough preaching - so you go and get yourself a beer or ten or scream or shout or hit something to make you feel better
Good luck - this feeling of despair too will pass , it just sucks big time.
Three weeks, thats a tough one. I feel for you even now. YEah it is rough, I am doing exactly what you say above, dealing with it as best as I can. I dont think it is the textbook right way at all but it is the only way that works for me. The days are dark indeed but I know that it will get better. Just got to get through the next couple of weeks which will be the worst. The funeral is next week and I am dreading that. sigh what will be will be
Yes life can be so damn hard and sucky, but in the end we need to go on, nobody wants us to stand still. I promise you it does get better and then when the darkness lifts you just keep hanging on to all the memories - good luck - loosing a parent is terrible.... loosing a mom is even worse.
I guess you sure told her sir meesteboom. But I think she will keep bringing it up! I've never heard of such a thing as crying camp. You couldn't drag me to one with a team of wild horses.
Exactly, mate. Me neither. No chance am I going to anythng like that!
I agree. ALTHOUGH, it would make for a hilarious post! lol.
Haha it would, it would almost be worth it!!
Almost but I still couldn't do it!
Hey boomie- i'm just catching up on the steemit reads having been away for a couple weeks...and wondering...DId you just lose your mom? Between this post and the crow episode and the ninja visit I thought perhaps some condolences are needed. And if so, I"m so sorry. Losing a mom is terribly sad stuff. My mom's been gone now for 9 years. 9 years of crying camp- the thing about crying camp is that, i don't believe it's something you have to sign up for.
Yeah, I did. Sadly. Eleven weeks after my dad.. It has been hard and you are right. I don't think you have you sign up for it.
Mum's have a special place that's for sure. Thank you lass, I appreciate it
