I think waking up alone every morning would make me feel pretty unhappy and empty too.

Longtime member, myself grin ... I would never , and I mean never, invite a newbie to MB forum take advice from some unidentified person away from the forum.
Especially a newbie who has expressed sensitivity to her situation becoming newsworthy.

Why not just write out the advice here, since it's been relayed to you by phone?
It doesn't really matter who writes it down. Does it?

I've been kinda upset lately reading the "get rid of the so-and-so threads". In my day (lol, yep, getting old) it was a given that this site was about overcoming the overcomeable (that's my word, I just coined it).

There were hopeless, hopeless cases on here or written about here. Mrs W for instance (lol, sorry Mrs W), Flick, me, Myra (who's first post to me was F*** off), the Wookie, tst, Lousy Golfer, Faithful Follower's H, more and more. What set us all apart was the advice we were given, the willingness to follow that advice, the hope, the optimism. Geez, I was the poster girl for FWW's when I met up with the OM again and MB saved me all over again. MB and it's people.

I remember telling Dealan-De at one of her very lowest points that she would get through this and out the other side. She did. Lil, you never thought you'd be back with Flick and posting such fab pics on Facebook for us all to see.

Like Bette Davis (or was it Paul Newman) said. Old age ain't for sissies. Neither is recovery.

But, my goodness, it's worth it.

Yes, and if you ever pass that boot I kicked you with I DO NOT want it back.


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

I think this is a most excellent Plan.

I've been here, under one ID or another, since Seotenber of 1998. I was formerly "Still Kickin'" and "SweetPea".

Like Lady Clueless, I've been here in one form or another since 1998. But my post count is so low, I think I'm probably disqualified!

This is very true.
