Melody -- I've thought LOTS about what you said about forgiveness, and quoted you to many of my friends. I'm not sure you are "right" (whatever that means in such circumstances) but you certainly have a point that forgiveness is not just about me feeling good about myself -- that it's transactional, not just an extension of New Age narcissism.

(((((((((((((((((((MelodyLane))))))))))))))))

A hearty welcome back. As others have said, with all the newbies popping up, you have been missed!

footnote: Orchid, don't you be backing off quite yet. We need the sage advice and support you both bring to the board!

Best wishes,
SD

Mel, we missed you lots!!!!!!

So many times I thought I wish Mel was here - she'd sort them out with some whoop @ss and big hair.

Weaver even tried to pry you out with all sorts of insults. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

You could have won the lottery a hundred times but you weren't around so you missed out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

It is so good to hear from you.
Perhaps many more will be able to say:

"Saved by the Mel."

Ha, Ha, I always wanted to do that.

Glad to see you're back! You have been missed. There have been lots of changes. People leaving, people coming - and an amazing number of us moving out within the last month (me included). Welcome back, even if it isn't the same old place!

ML... what A.M. said.

Forgiveness is a transaction. When the guilty party is uninvolved... we should call it something else, 'cause it ain't the same.

See how I said "ain't" so you'd understand better?
