So this might make things a little easier for everyone.

Here we go. Follow this link. It's a form! It's pretty simple - there's five questions. They are:

1. What is the name of your account on Reddit?
2. What continent are you from?
3. What country are you from?
4. What state/province are you from? (if applicable)
5. What city are you from? [OPTIONAL - can't stress that enough. Privacy is important!]

Responses are recorded in this spreadsheet.

If there are people near you, you can contact them via message on Reddit. Obviously, that's what the first question was for.

EDIT: If you submitted information that you would like removed, please message me! I'm usually very quick about these types of things.

Update 1 (5/27/2012): OH HEY LOOK. You can sort by continent/country/state/etc using the tabs on the button of spreadsheet. Handy, huh?

Update 2 (5/27/2012): I've got a formula that creates Google Maps queries on the right, but I still have yet to find and I found a way to do it automatically.

If you want to access these pages without having to come to this page each time:

Form: http://bit.ly/RedditFurFinder

Spreadsheet: http://bit.ly/RFFResults

Note: I know that the IFPL exists, but no one wants to make an account and give away their exact address. Also, I gain no karma for this, it's a self post. I thought it would be helpful!

Alright, I'm sure all of you have seen or been that guy who says "Furries are jerks and that's why I don't like being a furry". Yes that statement is very broad, and there are tons of different ways and people who use it, but most of us have seen it in some form or other.

I feel that something not a lot of the people who say this realize this: People can be jerks. There are idiots, and douchebags, and people who're just plain mean out there. Does that make all of humanity "jerks"? No. Just like any other fandom, we have people who are mean and assholes. But does that mean we should immediately jump to the conclusion that every other fur around us is one of these people? No! The thing with jerks is that they are often louder than nice people. If you ignore the people who are being assholes, then you can see the fandom for what it really is, and find all of the nice people here who will treat you with respect.

Feel free to shower me with downvotes, but I feel like there is way too much alienation here in a place where I would expect us to be a community.

I'm just wondering, I've never gotten a commission that I hated but what if something about the way they drew your character just was not doing it for you? would it be rude to ask them to change it a little? or just shut up and pretend you like it?

Papabear,

Recently (a little over 2 months ago) my mate passed away in a car accident. Now I've been trying to move on but it honestly just feels like I've hit a brick wall. I have a few friends but I still feel that something is missing. I used to be happy and calm. Now I've become angry, depressed(severely), and at certain times violent. And a lot of the places around here that I used to go to with her trigger those emotions. I don't want to be like this but I don't know what to do. And it seems that even my meditation(not medication) doesn't work anymore and my insomnia has now become worse. Do you have any suggestions that could help me a little bit?

--Kaza

Dear Kaza,

I am so sorry for your loss.  Nothing Papabear can say will ease the pain of losing a mate or other loved one, but I can give you a little advice here.  First of all, it has only been two months. That is not a very long time.  Did you know that it typically takes two years for the average person to even begin to adjust to a major life change, such as a death of a loved one or a divorce?

Anger and depression are natural emotions to be experiencing right now.  Your violent moods are connected to this.  Do not berate yourself for feeling this way; you are feeling angry at the injustice of losing a loved one so early in your life, and perhaps even some "survivor guilt," as in "Why is he dead and not me?"  You might be familiar with the stages of adjusting to loss, first put forward by psychologist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in 1969:

1. Denial: “This can’t be happening to me.”
   
2. Anger: “Why is this happening? Who is to blame?”
3. Bargaining: “Make this not happen, and in return I will ____.”
4. Depression: “I’m too sad to do anything.”
5. Acceptance: “I’m at peace with what has happened.”

There is no order or timeline for this process, and sometimes the order is mixed around a little, but you can expect these stages to occur in your immediate life.  Eventually, you will reach stage 5.  This does not mean you will not still feel some pain and loss, or even sadness, but when you get to stage 5 you will be able to cope with the loss and move on with your life.

So, recognizing that you are not acting inappropriately is the first step. Now, you ask what you can do about it? Meditation doesn't seem to be working for you, but there are other things you can try. First of all, do not try to manage your grief by yourself. Seek out other people to talk to. Do you belong to a church or synagogue? That would be an excellent place to go; talk to your minister or rabbi. Many religious organizations have groups where you can go for support. If not, look in your local newspaper. The community sections of newspapers often announce meetings for grief counseling and group support.

Also, try and get back to a routine of daily life. It might be that the routine you enjoyed with your mate has been disrupted. You will need to find a new routine and begin to move on with your life.  Finding hobbies, and doing charity work can also be immensely therapeutic.  Dr. Lou LaGrand has written a very nice summary of things you can try to adjust to this new time in your life: http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Top-10-Things-You-Can-Do-To-Cope-with-the-Death-of-a-Loved-One&id=524392.

Good luck, Kaza. I would love to hear from you again on how you are doing.

Papabear
