U guys and gals are just tooo kind. Yep it was a long year and I know that 'most' of what I did was without regret. For me that is what is important. (less to apologize for - LOL!!! )
SS,
Crying is NOT a sign of weakness, it shows you have a heart. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Also I want to commend you on your responses. I have been reading some of your posts to many others. U have been giving good support. Please keep up the good work!
Jante,
Last year was hard. Didn't think I would make it at times. I had supporters from all areas. From the highest in the universe to even strangers. Those thoughts helped me make it through the hard times. I know it will help you also.
My dear Faith,
U are such a beutiful woman and have such a way with words. I can't imagine how your H could have ever thought for a moment of every leaving such a caring person. Often you have helped me put back the care in my soul, since my normal reaction would have been to answer with a wisecrack.... oh yea, I still do that. Well I am sure that it would have been much worse for the WS/OW if I did not have you to temper me out!
Hey baby sis Knewjie,
U held my hand and guided me through some rough waters. I may not have been swimming with sharks (like seahorse) but I sure had them around me. A great white one (WS) and the Hammerhead (OW) or was that shovel head??? LOL!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Thanks for being there. By the way you all, Knewjie and her H [H] are such a cute couple!
Pat,
Your life will get better because you are getting better. U know sometimes I envy those who are able to move forward without the WS in their lives. See when this WS came home, he stayed that way for over 1 year. That was hard. At times I wanted to be D even though he came home. When I reached that settling point of not wanting the OW in MY life, things started to get better for me. I was even able to handle her 3rd prego scare in Aug 2001.
I know you will be in a better place.
Cali,
U and I have seen sooo much. I always felt you were right behind me in the timeline thing but so advanced due to all your reading! Pays to listen to the teacher!!!! I used to read your posts (still do) so I could get the reader's digest version of the latest book you were reading. Oooops, hope you won't stop telling us about what you are learning because U really helped me.
Cadet & RH,
U guys are too much. Cadet, your W grows ordhids? Well theres a starter, howz about you takin up a growing hobby??? None of that funny stuff though!! LOL! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> U know, forgiver was asking some orchid questions on JFO.
RH, you bad boy!!!! And I love your sense of humor. Despite all odds you are here and looking good!!!!
Both of you are great posters. I try to read as many of your posts as I can. I really do read more than I post! Keep up the good work. There are many BS H's out there right now. Thanks for helping out!
Sue,
U are another one of the contributers who has been helping out. Kudos to you. You know I post a lot not just to help others but to help myself. If I can post encouragement or tough love to others, that means I must be able to accept it also. I don't want to be a hypocrite. So I do as I post. Now maybe a few will think I am crazy for all the antics that went on!! LOL!
Nikko,
Thanks for your support and your recipes. It is soo nice to have a 'gourmet cook' around. Wish you were a bit closer to give lessons.
I thought the way to a man's heart was through his stomach? Hm.......... Guess I need to brush up on my cooking skills.
Seahorse,
Everytime I think of a tough situation, I think about U swimming with sharks and then all seems to balance out to where I can handle things better. Yet you choose to swim with those critters!!!
Hang in there and keep us posted about your latest adventures ok?
Sing,
U kept me alive with your posts from overseas. I think you were the first to let me know you even knew about Okinawa, then Hawaii. U made me feel at home when I thought the world had kicked me off the planet.
When I see orchids, I think of U. Thanks for all the LB Fairie trips to PBR. I am sure she watches the sky at night as much as she watches her front door to see what I will be hanging on her doorknob!
Lupo,
Thanks for your calls and even talk with my H! U have given him some MB BS insight!! Totally unplanned and perfectly executed. Right on! Keep up the good work. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed.
Dawn,
After our last conversation, I think of you often. I am pulling hard for you to continue getting stronger. It is hard to know that we can not 'fix; the WS in our lives. The ones we can fix are our spouses but somehow they have been replaced by this alien type being. Wat is right about that spaceship. I wish I could have a chat with your H and let him know that we aprpeciate the good qualities we see in his W and hopes he would also.
Very tempting offer huh!!! Well it stands but with no guarantees. I already spoke with 3 other MBer's Hs...... but when they are in a fog or too prideful, there is no sense that can be given them. So my best suggestion is to learn the babble and the look.
Thanks all. Thought the forum was slow on the weekends but U all have posted!!!
Mahalo,
L.
