did we loose you or are you just in hiatus? <P>------------------<BR>Zebra Baby ...<P>Lord, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

up

Zebrababy, Thanks so much for sending out the APB on me. Happy Girl, thanks for the e-mail and letting me know Zebrababy was looking for me. Funny, Happy girl you should use the term APB my H just got his test scores back for the written part of the police officer's test in our state. He did great and it is just a matter of time until he hears about the interview phase. I am doing okay, some days good, some days okay, some days not so great. I have been really busy,work, family, house, and every time I come to this forum lately there is just so much going on and I get overwhelmed and can not decide what to post to. After reading for awhile I feel so exhausted from all the BS that has been flying around that I end up leaving and not posting to anything. This forum was such a help, it was such a joy to me to find it and to realize there were so many others going through what I am. I am really speakless as to explain what is going on here now. I am glad for the recent banning, however it seems like there are some new ones who may need to be dealt with. When I first can to this forum back in <BR>Feb. things were so quiet, peaceful, helpful, and everyone was so kind and understanding. Even when there were differences in views they were discussed on a adult level. For the life of me I can not understand why grown adults would intentionally come to a place and set out to hurt others. I for one would never go to a place where they were and give them the time of day. I am hoping we can just ignore and let them see how childish they are and may be without fuel to run their engines they will stall and go away. I think they come and post when they know they are not wanted out of jeolousy over the fact that so many of us here are helping ourselves and others, and they do not want to see us heal or be happy. Stay well all, smile, help yourselves and others here, Peace to all my MB friends, thank you for being there for me. I am going to try and get back into the swing of thing here,& stay in touch. Thanks again Zebra and Happy_girl, GAbi1116

gabi,<BR>Good to hear we didnt lose you. Things will get better they already are. We are not quiters we will all make it. Lets just think of this when the wanna bee's show up.with love fowerseed

Yeah Gabbi,<P>so glad you're o.k. I too had been on hiatius from the board, but one day I decided that if all of us acted like business as usual, eventually we'd get back to the forum we know and love. after a while everyone that is decent here will tire of responding and then with no response they will, poof, disappear.<P>What I've been trying to do is find one or two newbies that haven't received the attention I did when I first got here and sortta adopt their plight. I'm keeping a close eye on LSB because I feel her pain like it's my own. That keeps me focused on what this board is about. And another I've been watching out for is NGU. She and I chatted for a while last night. Can't remember if you were there, but I think you were. Anyway those two ladies have kept me focused on the tasks at hand.... our happiness and our healing.<P>So anyway, keep smiling. Look for the good and cast aside the bad.<P>Glad you're back,<P>------------------<BR>Zebra Baby ...<P>Lord, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Dear gabi,<P>I posted a reply to you, but when I just looked it wasn't there -- so I am posting again.<P>Just wanted to say that I am also glad to hear from you! Like you and Zebra, I stopped posting for a short while, then when I came back and saw what was going on I had the same response you had. <P>But, I decided that for my own sake and those who I might give comfort to, I would try it again. I am glad that you decided to give it another try.<P>love,<BR>heavenly

Thanks all, again for thinking of me and looking out for where I was and how I was. I posted my recent adventures on the other thread, "I have been quiet for awhile,..." please read to see how things have turned around and are now going great with visitation. My mom took the whole thing great and she still loves my h as if he were her son. We have a long road ahead, but I think we are off to a good start. Just wish I could say the same for the ow, she has her issues, drama, bitterness, and problems with our involvement and visitation, but she sure still likes the cash my h sends. My h is trying to do the right thing as am I, so hopefully the oc will not get hurt by his mothers hateful ways and undermining actions. I think this week will be a turning point, and our lawyer will once again, pull through, I will keep you all posted. I can not wait until this child grows up and I can tell him how expensive it was to get him in our life, our lawyer is 275.00 per hour, but it is worth it because I think we are doing the right thing and our children will also benefit in the long run. Thanks again for all your great thoughts. <BR>Peace. GAbi1116

zebrababy, keep watching out for me and respond to my posts as you feel up to it. I appreciate it very much.

Hi Gabbi! Missed you! Wanna try and get in the chat room again..? That was sure s stress relever..plus I guess Im one of those instant gratification kind of people. I would much rather have instant responses and by able to get my thoughts out quickly before they escape...as they often do..lol.<P>Love ya<P>bw

Hey, Broken wings, thanks so the kind words and thoughts, yeah I missed you all too. I do miss the chat room, you are right about the instant gratification of live time talking. Let's get together soon, Peace, Gabi1116
