So this is my text for the Terriers on DVD petition. I just need something with numbers on it to show a distributor. Of course, the risk is that I only get fifty signatures. But, I gotta know.
We, the undersigned, do solemnly swear to buy Terriers on DVD, and to forever love the distributor. For it will be the best-looking, sexiest, smartest, coolest distributor, ever.
That's all I need, really, and I'll explain on the blog post that this is pretty much just a numbers game. I need empirical evidence that there's still a market, a year later. And if there isn't, well, I'm a jackass, I guess. Fortunately, I'm a known jackass so it won' really hurt me any worse.
Thoughts?

Oh Maria, I am so sorry to hear this latest kick in the teeth for you and your DH. I wish there was something I could do of a more practical nature than offering love and long-distance support.
Oh Maria. Honey, I am so sorry. No one deserves this, and especially not you and your DH.
Lean on your support networks. Don't think you are asking for too much attention, or bothering us, or ANYTHING like that. This is what friends are meant for, to hold us together when we can't do it ourselves.
I wish there was something I could do.
I'm so sorry Maria. We are all here for you.
Maria you are absolutely right that it is not fair. I am angry on your behalf and on behalf of your husband. But you will get through this. And since all I can give you is sympathy and good wishes you have those from me. And those who can offer more will.
Oh, Maria, I'm so sorry. But yes, what everyone upthread said: lean on us. That's why we're here.
Maria, I am so sorry. If it's any consolation, I had a friend in NYC who had stage IV melanoma--a decade before I knew him. Beating it was a tough row to hoe, but he did it.

Oh, damn, Maria. I am so very sorry. As everyone said earlier and better, you aren't taking over with your drama. At all. Vent, rant, dump away. It's all good.
Also, I don't think it's childish to want to wish it all away. I think that's a natural response.
I can tell you, from experience, that this is one place - maybe *the* one place - where you can say what you need to and let go of being the strong one, even if it's just for a minute. So rage if you need to, weep if you need to. You won't hurt us.
This. So much this. I can't even tell you how much. We're here.
