Hey everyone,
I admit that I don't always get here as much as I would like. And so often when I do - there are way more posts than I am able to reply to. I can't help but wonder about all of these goodbyes here of late. And maybe I should have replied to the posts, but since there are more than one I kind of thought it would be easier (yep - it's Saturady and I'm being lazy) to post this one instead of trying to reply to them all. Also, I kind of wanted to say something to whoever is willing to read my post. This is really a great place to come to vent, rave and work out one's frustrations because there are so many "nice people" here and someone here is sure to have experienced whatever it is that is troubling us at that time. It's also a great support forum, but please keep in mind, the support is only as good as the people offering it and as good as we allow it to be. In many of the same basic ways, we are alike. We need food, drink, clothing etc., and love, to be heard, to feel. Perhaps most - we need to know someone cares and even if no one has the answers - the simple fact they cared enough to reply can mean so much. I'm a firm believer we can be friends and still disagree. Disagreements are really all that bad - it's the way one agrees that is though. Tone sets the pace and that, if anything, is what we all should work on. Those that have been banned, even if they have or have not replied to your post, have been banned for a reason, and that reason doesn't include anyone but themselves. It's kind of like being fired at work - while it does happen - most times the person fired is the very one that fired themself. So - if you feel you must leave and nothing else will work for you - I want to wish you the very best that life can give you and hope you will remember us from time to time. But if, you can find it in your heart to stay and share yourself with us - I would apprecitae that very much. Friends are hard enough to come by and losing even one hurts us all. If anyone feels they have been wrong - please don't feel as if you are in that boat alone, for we each have at one time or another been wrong. Making mistakes aren't bad, but rather, how or what we do about them once we see what we have done. And remember - it takes a really BIG PERSON to say, "I'm sorry". We're all human and as such, are subject to having a bad day, not feeling all that great and posting posts that we could have written better had we only had our mind working better. Hey, I do it all the time, and to be tottaly honet here, I've never posted a post that I couldn't have done better later. So (((((HUGS)))) to everyone and I hope you stay. The greatest thing anyone can do for a friend is to share themselves so please stay and share. I have to say though - in response to LMo's post - I am a little upset that she is going to Brazil and she didn't invite me to go along! I mean, after all, her boyfriend isn't going with her, and I REALLY DO A GREAT JOB OF CARRYING LUGGAGE! SIGHSSSS Just kidding LMo! Have a GREAT TIME and please ---- THINK OF ME when you're sampling all that wonderful coffee! Your friend Sam (who loves coffee!) "You'll never know what you're capable of if you don't try."

Taking a real big gulp here, although I'm not one of the ones that said good-bye. In private, I said I was gonna try to not post for a while, but at the time I said it, I knew it wouldn't be for long.
Gonna take another chance and "assume" I'm one of the "everyones" you addressed. Thanks alot for your post. How do you do it? ...be so objective, that is?  (Sigh!) Me bad... (sniff! sniff! Hanging head in shame.) Why didn't I just keep my mouth shut?   He's making a list and checking it twice...

hehehe It wasn't a wolf whistle. He called to me!
 I think he was just bored, though. No kids waiting to see him at the time. He sure was a good looking Santa, though! wooohoooo!! And Monika got jealous, too! hehehehehe Strange why he would call to me 'cause Monika is thinner and cutter than I am! hahaha Guess I'm sexier.  Yeah, right! Har! Har! He's making a list and checking it twice...

(((((Jennifer, Mary Alice, Willow, Heather, Ozzie & Tomi)))))
You're all such sweet and caring people! I'm glad to call you each a friend. As for writing a book - I'd love to, really! But, I wouldn't even know where to start let alone how to finish. God knows ... I've read my share, but again, he knows English was never my best subject. And Heather! ... Silly girl! No wonder I know so little! LOL .. Just kidding with ya sweetie - you know I love ya! And Tomi? (((((HUGS sweetie))))) - I for one, am so glad you are here. And while I hope you do find happiness, I also hope you never leave us - for you've become a part of us all, as has everyone else. I try never to post when upset (I'm more likely to pick a side, and that wouldn't be fair to one or another), or very tired, but mostly I think, I try to look at all angles possible. Life is I think, much like a pie ... you have a piece, and I another. Each seperate is just a piece, but when all pieces are added together - they become one. I hope this helps?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
