I love you Dr. Bob!
Yay! I'm going to see you again!
Maybe you are really busy right now and that is why you haven't replied to the Yahoo group.
I miss you. I wish you had all the free time in the world and could talk to us Babblers and have fun and be friends. I'm going to take a lot of pictures. I hope you will look at them. I will show you my pictures.
Maybe I'll pretend you are with me when I am alone on the trip.
I luv you Dr. Bob.

I got this idea in my head now that Dr. Bob is not replying because he died. I am scared.
Anyone heard from Dr. Bob?
Please be OK Dr. Bob.
Please tell me he is just busy preparing for SF.

I think he's completely fine.
He communicated with the deputies a couple days ago, I think it was. He sounded perfectly normal, but said he's be busy with something else and not around Babble as much for a bit. A day or so, maybe - not sure.
Take a deep breath, Deneb. Maybe your brain is playing tricks on you because it's getting close and you are really anxious (the excited kind) to see him? It happens to me.

Thanks 10der
Thanks for letting me know he said he would be busy. Yeah, Dr. Bob is mostly likely OK. He said he isn't planning on going anywhere. I remember he said that once.
Dr. Bob will take care of himself.
I am really excited about SF. :)
I leave Thurs. morning. It will be fun! I will stay in touch with my mini 9 netbook.
I am looking forward to it and am anxious at the same time, but mostly excitement.

I said a prayer for you that SF is everything you hope it will be.
Regarding your interacting with Dr. Bob, try not to hope for too much. I am concerned that you might be too easily disappointed. It is not that he doesn't like you, I get the feeling that he does. However, there are going to be many, many people who are going to compete for his attention.
Have fun!

My pdoc and I talked about what I should do if I were to feel lonely and sad and we came up with a bunch of stuff.
I said I shouldn't rely on Babblers to be there for me. If I feel lonely and sad, I should think I won't be lonely for long, at most 2 days. Plus, there are other tourists around me. I can talk to other people. We have decided I should bring a book with me to read. I can go to a cafe and relax by myself.
If I feel bad, I can journal and write it down. I should write about what I am feeling and what is happening, so I won't be lonely.
I am going to take lots of pictures and journal about what happens on my trip because for 4 days I have no one to share my experiences with. That will feel like there is someone with me.
We have decided I shouldn't sleep the day away if I feel sad and lonely. That will likely make me feel worse. I will explore the city instead.
If I get lost, I will ask for directions.
I will have a fun time.
I will be OK with seeing Dr. Bob, I think...anyways, I won't expect too much. I have met him already so I know how he is like. Last time I was scared at first, but hopefully I won't be scared this time. I tend to freak out once in a while. I will be OK.
Last time I got envious of other Babblers when Dr. Bob interacted with them but not me. I even started crying when Dr. Bob emailed one Babbler and didn't respond to me. It's probably not intentional. I am just not an approachable person. Pdoc says my body language says to stay away. I will try to be more normal and less anxious.

You are a very thoughtful and responsible soul. It is obvious how nurturing you are to yourself, and how generous you are with your feelings to share them with others. You demonstrate great courage in being so open emotionally. You sound pretty healthy to me.

I always forget just how fun Dr. Bob is to be around. He is awesome. I love him sooooo much. :)
I got a goodbye hug. It was so nice. :)
I had a lot of fun. I still have one and a half days in SF. I showed Dr. Bob my pictures. I think he liked looking at them.
I will try to hold these memories and let them comfort me when I am distressed.
