No Stph you have no idea what he means. This has become so surreal and bizarre that I'm not even sure it's happening.

I asked Todd, by email, to tell Pio that I found him interesting and funny and asked whether Pio found me interesting and funny. I don't know how Todd worded that but it obviously came out as "I fancy Pio." It was a silly thing to ask, I just thought it would be misconstrued if I put it on here.

Nothing could be further from what I feel. I have always hoped that Pio and Gemela would find happiness. I have spoken to them both and I just hoped they would both reach the happiness Rob and I have.

Stph, this all started when I was attempting to give you my opinion. Something about the way I said that got everyone's panties in a wad.

I AM NOT A WW. I am a happily married woman in love with my husband. I haven't given the OM a second thought since APRIL OF THIS YEAR. You could all do well to reach the stage I'm at. Sheesh, this is just absolutely bizarre.

Well I would so hate for this to get edited or deleted in the cold light of day.

Seriously, BigK, are you for real?

and Kiwi,

please, please, please listen to BigK.

TKO needs to be our safe haven.

Keep it that way.

Would you listen to us?

This is NOT good for Todd and Pio. And I don't want them not posting. They both need to be here and they don't need to be any further upset. Neither do the rest of us for that matter.

I'm glad you think you're so happy in your marriage, but most of us on TKO are not so happy. That's why we come here...to get some peace and happiness for a while.

This does not help.

Listen to BigK. He knows what he's talking about. More than you know. And he is for real. I can tell you that much. He doesn't mess around.

Ok, gone now.

Sheesh, you'd have thought a happy, successful, recovered couple would give some inspiration but obviously not.

Good luck, you're all going to need it.

Thanks anyway.

Go insult somewhere else...we don't need it here.

Not one of us is crazy and we're here to support one another.

You can't do that which is why you were asked to leave.

No insult intended. I am just completely flummoxed.

Come on everyone, please spell it all out. I'd love to hear it.

So that's my answer.

You have nothing. I could have told you that.

FWIW, and I know you're all far too busy casting aspersions at me and thinking things up about me that are completely untrue, Todd is in a bad way. His son is taking him to the ER.

Please pray for him.

Hi Kiwi,

I haven't had time to read all the thread as I just got home from work.

What is happening with Todd?
My goodness how do you know he is on his way to the ER?
Are you sure?

Please let us know what is happening.

Of course he is in our prayers - he always is but I will send up extras.

For personal reasons, I think I need to stop posting here. If you need me, I'm on email.


Sorry to hear this Pio. We all really appreciate your input all around...you're very insightful, witty, creative, sensitive...just to name a few...and not having you around would be a major loss...please reconsider...

...one thing is for sure, know that we all care very very much for you...and we know that this is a very difficult and challenging time in your life, as it is for many of us...if there is anyway anyone of us could help, be sure to let us know!

(((((((((((((((((PIO)))))))))))))

Hey, I am back.

I started getting very confused yesterday and it got really bad last night. I have gone over the posts and emails and wow, it is really weird. I received an email from Pio and didn't know who he was. I either called my son or he called me and I told him what was going on.

Anyway, long night in ER but they found the problem.

I'm glad to hear (read) that you sought help and identified the problem Todd. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I stayed up late last night praying for you (and others who are having difficulty) while watching for an update post from you. I wanted you to know that because I'm certain that I was not the only one.

We never really know how many people care about us or how much they care about us, do we? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thank you xLurker,

I am not sure that I indentified the problem. I had a couple of emails and didn't know who the senders were. They helped me to see that something was wrong.

Thanks Nams,

it was one of my hormones which was very very low. It causes mental confusion and concentration problems. They pumped me up with it and that helped. Still not 100% but will get there.

Hi Todd,

So wonderful to see you back with us.
You certainly were in many prayers last night.
Rest and take it easy today.
I am so happy to have you home.

Beth

Todd,

I hope that you don't mind a take-it-or-leave-it (as you see fit) suggestion......

For now, maybe keep your communications on board (not private email). People who regularly post to this thread can help intervene on your behalf if someone else's issues are causing you turmoil or harm (even if they don't realize it). People who regularly post to this thread might also be able to see subtle things that could give you a heads up that professional intervention is in order sooner than you would be able to see it yourself.
