Oh my! Page two.

Is there anybody in there?

Nod if you can hear me


Anyone recognize those lyrics?

I'm home waiting for UPS to deliver the xbox 360 which we sent out for repair a couple of weeks ago. That in and of itself irritates me but I'm taking a deep breath...letting it out slowly...breath in...out...

Slow news day?

I hope to hear good news from Beth.

Todd, are you well?

Pio, do you want to share any Christmas stories about your girls?

Hello,

Beth gave me her password etc. and asked me to post on her behalf. My name is Liz and I am her best friend and business partner. Well I like to consider myself her best friend and hope she agrees.

Must admit I have been here for hours reading and struggling to find my way around. This is not as easy as it appears. I have lost my post several times so they maybe printed all over this site ??? I am so sorry for the heartbreak I have been reading, I had no idea Beth had so much company.

I see Beth has been her normal dearest self and down played the seriousness of her hospitalization. She has had a double mastectomy; it is not a new cancer but a spread from the original site. You can probably imagine our feelings.

The last couple of days have been very hard on her but this morning she seems to be doing better. She has seen her sons and that cheered her. One comment to them was that she would no longer put bumps in their wetsuits when she borrows them! I guess you have to know Beth to appreciate her strength and humor.

I don't know when she will be back with you; she has a long road ahead of her, but if anyone can walk it, it is Beth. I know she cares a lot about the people on this site and wanted me to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

I will print any replies that come in and take them to her.

I am sorry if this is a bit stilted but I didn't think this would be so hard to write. Beth is like a sister to me and I am feeding from her strength. Her positive outlook and faith will get her through. It has to.

Liz on behalf of Beth

Thanks for the update....Liz 'on behalf of Beth'...


Can't believe the lengths Beth is taking to 'keep TKO informed'!

Be sure to tell her how much we appreciate it...inspite of all she is going through! ....she remains true to herself.... a real 'softy'.....

Guess you figured by now that.....absences from our regulars are 'worrisome' for many of us here... seeing the measures Beth is taking!

...I have been 'away' for a few days as well.... holidays are good for BS's to hit some bumps....nothing compared to Beth's, though!

...so...TKO...let just say 'for the record'....I am... SURVIVING!

LIZ..... would you please inform our dear Beth.... (don't believe I have shared this before with my TKO bunch).....

...that my mother, whom I adore...cherish....love...model myself after...and am proud to know.....and privileged to be her daughter.....

is also a cancer survivor...breast cancer survivor.... having had a drastic/evasive mastectomy....because....get this.... it was the only option she had....50 years ago!

....and I believe the experience for my mom took her exactly where it's taking Beth.....to appreciate life MORE and ENJOY every moment she has! ....as you can imagine...50 years ago...the probabilities were 50/50 she would survive.....like...a yes/no..... and nothing in between! ... no follow-up treatments like radio..chemo... were available!

....and she is a true inspiration...as is Beth...her attitude will take a long way!

((((((((((((((((((((BETH))))))))))))))

Liz....FYO....the above are 'cyberhugs'...

and thank you for being such a 'friend' to Beth and taking the time to figure your way in the MB maze to find us....

(((((((((((((((LIZ))))))))))))))))))))

...as you can see....we can be very generous in the 'hugs' department!

Thank you Liz for taking the time to tell us of Beth's condition. Since you will be printing this out I'll say this directly to Beth.

Dear Beth,

I'm so, so sorry to read the news of your surgery. To go from your wonderful Christmas to this in such a short time must be heartbreaking. {{{Beth}}}

I've been thinking of you over the past couple of days always hoping for a different outcome. You've been so positive & upbeat I expected you to sit back down at your computer to tell us all was well.

Thank you for being so thoughtful by having your friend post about you. Of course you knew we'd be checking in for word on your condition.

I wish there was something I could say or do to be of help.

Know you & your boys are in my thoughts. Please keep your sweetness & positive attitude & come back soon.

Much love, nams

Todd, how are you?

Liz,

Please convey to Beth our good thoughts and best wishes. She is in our prayers.

(((Beth)))

BK

Hmm MEMO TO PIO

NO ONE GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO DESERT THIS THREAD OR LEAVE MB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get your [censored] back in here NOW!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

....Hi BigK...

and I am a little worried about Todd...and that his absence may not be as 'volontary'...

Yes, me too Luna.

What's going on with everybody??? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I can only hope that the holidays have everyone preoccupied.

I miss you all! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Beth, I'm so sorry for what you've had to endure. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your sons. I know you will beat this and be stronger than ever. If you are ever feeling alone...please remember I am thinking of you! I wish there was more I could do....if there is, please let me know, you have my email address. My heart goes out to you. But you'll be fine. You are a very strong woman.

Liz, thank you for the update and please keep us informed.

As for everyone else, it's time to come back to TKO and banter like the good ole days! Y'all wouldn't let me leave when I wanted to and I'm not letting anyone leave either.

I'll make the same bargain Pio and Todd did...if the old group is not back here within 5 days (it's already been way too long), I am leaving too. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

THIS MEANS YOU!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Happy New Year TKO,

I hope that everyones burdens are a bit lighter in 2007 or that we all find additional strength and faith for them to seem lighter. I listened to a program today that focused on how we should delight in our struggles knowing that it is the Good Lord nudging us and awakening us to be more aware of our need for him...we should be bothered if we are not experiencing burdens and challenges. I'm waving my white flag at him as we cyberchat!!! I know anything is possible with him, so regardless or your religious orientation, I am praying for all my TKO family to find renewed faith, strength and love to do his will in 2007 and be our best! I thank you all for you ongoing love and support.

Beth,

You know the drill, I don't think it gets any easier but you know what to expect. Grieve your loss, it is huge...cry, rant, rave, heal, laugh and live. Let us be with you as support in your journey. I'm sure Todd and Pio will distract you from your daily angst once they themselves return. My heart hurts for you Beth. Why you are where you are now is impossible to know. Just take each moment as it comes...let your family and friends be there for you and don't push yourself too hard too fast, take time to move through the process and heal. I will be thinking and praying for you and your family. Liz, thanks a million for posting to keep us informed...hugz for you all!

Todd,
What the heck. Are you on MB vacation or are you having complications again? Please post to let us know...I am worried about ya superman!

Stph, Luna and Nams,
Missed you all. Was out of town and had no cyberconnection:(. Sounds like everyone is making it one way or another. Nams, the whole eyeglass thing is sooooo something that would happen to me. Wish I had some funny drama for you all to lift you up and make you smile but surprisingly my trip was pretty smooth.

I can't remember if I updated you all prior to my departure so I need to go back and check.

Big K...hugz

Pio...Pio...Pio...have you gone to visit Larousse or what????

2mhb personal update

2007 forecast for 2mhb=divorce



Nams and BK you were not harsh...just realistic

WH was full of bologna!!! Wanted to try month by month if moved back in without any commitment or agreement to dealbreakers...NO-GO

WH still "confused" so I cleared it up for him...plan D ASAP; he "states" he will sign legal docs when ready; he admits this is all about him; he obviously has thrown myself and his precious children to the wayside; I will be moving on

Will be moving full steam ahead with my original plans...

Happy New Year TKO.

I want you all to know that I love each and every one of you. I wish you all faith, peace and most of all love in 2007 and beyond.

You have become my family and I wish all of you all the best.

{{{{{2much}}}}} I'm so sorry 2much. Please come lean on us when you need to. We're always here to listen and support, just as you do with so many of us.

((((2Much))))

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((TKO)))))))))))))))))))))))

2much...I am sorry... you are a tough cookie making tough decisions...you will be OK....inspite of it all!

(((((((((((((2M)))))))))))

BigK and others,

...I started a thread for Jrobin - WS has moved out: JROBIN seeking advice on what to do

...guess I didn't give enough PIZAZ to the title...not getting many visitors...

...would you mind popping in and giving her your feedback and suppport....

Thanks.

How are you doing Luna?

Hi stph20,

Had a few bumps over the holidays....you can find details on my thread...and it's the same old story...what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...

.....but I ended it well...yesterday went out of the city with a couple of friends and explored the countryside..... visited a very beautiful monastery overlooking a lake....and last night invited same friends to share supper together and just thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and covered a lot of 'conversational ground'....

Today the boys will be back...and am so looking forward to seeing them.... a week NOT working and not seeing them goes by much much slower than a week working and not seeing them... they will be literally showered with hugs! ...you bet!

...and how about you?

Happy New Year!

Luna,

Glad to see you had yourself a cozy time, you deserve it. I have been keeping up with your thread and it breaks my heart to see the raw pain and emotion even after 2 years.

My WH is just a plain goof and still keeps calling and coming around visiting kids, eating and acting as if all is good with the world. I have decided to act like myself, detach emotionally and move along...if he wants to visit etc he can I am just not taking the bait and giving him the power to manipulate me anymore. He actually calls and vents his frustrations to me...even went as far as to say his being miserable was due to his sitch with me and missing the kids etc and it was affecting his attitude at work and his productivity. I LOL and reminded him that this was the supposed "job" that he wanted so much he was willing to sacrifice his family for...he laughed and was like, "oh yeah, guess I shouldn't really be complaining to you". I swear he is so wrapped up in himself that he has no clue what goes on outside his fantasy world nor does he care unless it causes him direct pain. I think I am going to start giving him a dose of his own poop and start complaining to him about how hard it is to be a deserted wife and how I can't wait to relocate so that things will be easier for me and the kids etc. LOL...I have the power!!!

I admire your endurance and integrity in continuing to take the high road Luna. I hate to see you so sad...I have to say that your friends deserve your WH's company if they can't see that it was poor judgement to invite WH and OW with boys...I've made it clear to my WH that he is not to bring my kids around any of his OWs or any friends that quitely supported him in his WS tactics...thing is they lie so much we have no idea what kind of concocted stories they have fed the rest of the world to feel sorry for them and accept thier wayward circumstances.

Stph,
Happy New Year. What's up with you? I haven't seen your thread lately...any new happenings? If so, I'll go back and read.

Gotta run before my hair falls out...color on it for past 60min...I forgot the time!!!! Tough work staying beautiful:)

BBFN girls

PS...where are the guys???

Well I can only speak for myself but I at least do sleep sometimes.

For those worried about Todd, he has a thread on **** oh screw it. email me if you wanna know ****. It has dropped onto Page 2 now. To be honest I'm not sure what to make of it. He seems very well to me.
