(((((((((((RAPUNZEL))))) No one hates you.

I'm sorry that I added to that burden you are carrying.

Losing an animal is tough enough, but 3 oh my. How sad. I'm sure you are full of what if's and if onlys... but God takes His animals home too, and loves them. You'll see them all again, I'm sure.

As for the ticket and court, if you can't get an attorney to go for you, then pay it and be done with the stress of it all. Can you go to class to diminish the fees and charges? ((((hugs)))) We all have accidents, that's why they are called "accidents." You certainly didn't go looking to crash. I'm glad you weren't terribly hurt. (I won't talk about what I think of hummers.)

No, no one can make everyone happy, ever. (Well, except God, He will.)
Regarding this forum, I think the original intent of supportive meditations and such (</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> is really the best way to do this. I personally had caution about allowing questions, but quietly agreed and acquiesced. When the questioning began to read more about trying to counter some beliefs, and thinly veiled arguments, I really thought it needed to end. I began to change my own posting, and also limited my replies to others, even if that meant that uncountered the threads went on and on putting down other's beliefs.

When I come to this forum, I want to feel supported. I don't want to feel I have to defend my beliefs. I can't do that much anyway because I am then countered and accused of being insensitive. I don't mind others having their own belief threads. I don't mind others giving support to each other, or even questioning within their own realm of believing or disbelieving. I do understand that there might be those who really are questioning everything regarding their own spirituality, but they have to learn also that they can't treat this topic like just any other. There are many who don't post here but wish they could, who would benefit in the long run by doing so, because they don't feel they are strong enough in their beliefs to counter others who pounce upon them.

I would love to see this forum become one of prayers, meditations and true expressions of spirituality and support for one another. The long discussions can be taken to beliefnet.

I hope your class was good in spite of your upset and feeling poorly. Mostly all of us here know your heart is good and your efforts are earnest. If you are spread too thin, you must reeval that for your own self care.
