Hi Janie,<P>Wex has been gone a long time now---we've tried to send a couple posts up to get him to resurface, but nothing...<P>It's too bad. I hope he's well.

NB,<P>Couldn’t leave the weather remark alone 42 degrees, ENJOY! <P>I'm now on my 300 day of the same weather every day, HOT, HUMID & it will rain sometime somewhere on the island. It is always 85 to 92 & never cooler than 75, I think it is a major cold front if it got down to 70. The bad thing as I moved here from Houston it is not much different than 10 months of the yr there. Actually it was cooler & less humid here when we arrived last Aug.<P>I am rambling but I am trying to stay up to make sure my OS doesn't sneak out of the house tonight. <P>Guess I will go read the Survivor's board; they are always good for a good laugh. Besides sports, it’s the only TV show that is not at least last season, or the season before. I have now seen the 1st 4 yrs of Friends 2 to 3 times.<P>I am going to stop now, sorry for the ramble. <P>Your culture awareness has been brought to you by expat sing<BR> :

Can't we all just get along? Is there some reason for all of this hypersensitivity? Oh yeah, infidelity..........It does tend to make us all a little cranky.<P>NB,<P>I don't think I ever thought of you as thin-skinned, just amazingly resilient and forgiving! I don't see much sarcasm from you either, and I should know. Firestorm says I am the EXPERT on being sarcastic! <P>I don't think you have a chance to beat the megathread either, but I'm sure willing to do my part for the effort!<P>Now I know a bit more about you. Really interesting stuff. Like the fact that you are American by birth, but Canadian by choice! From the deserts of California to the snow fields of Canada. I think I feel a song coming on!<P>I'm REALLY glad you're here!<P>Love,<P>Peppermint

New beginnings...my old friend DO you know that I named my web page new beginings? <BR>I am one of the people that have hardly been here lately. As you say, I felt I needed to move on, focus on our future as a couple instead of past mistakes.<BR>THere were also times where I would come here and feel that reading the painful stories was making me revive my own problems over and over again.<BR>But Every once in a while I still come here. And today I found this message.<BR>Not being here regularly I haven't notice this trend, but all I can say - as many other did in response to your post - is that when I first came here I was always encourage to first decide what I felt I need to do, and then try to follow trough with it.<BR>Plan A worked for me. I used it and recoment it- - doesn't mean that it will work for everybody, but Isuppose we have to start somewhere.<BR>What I was never encouraged to do, was to just quit. This is -was - a board for solutions. Sharing experiences and learn from them. I found here a wonderful second family, that helped me to keep my perspective when I was down, told me to hang in there when It seemed there was no hope and cheered with me when the first positive signs appeared.<BR>Solutioons like "quit" and "dump" did certainly appear here and there, but were counteracted by responses from people tha had been trough the same we were and had advanced to another stage - no matter which - and that could enrich us with those experiences.<BR>I'm probably going off topic here, but I want to say just one more thing. <BR>To support others there is no need for knwoledge. Everyone can do that, you have to have some empathy I guess, and a desire to diminish pain .<BR>But to give suggestions one should follow the saying" a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" Because you enough to have an idea of what you're talking about, but not enough to understand the whole process, and your suggestion might harm more than help.<BR>And I better stay here before some of the old friends remember how long my posts usually are LOL<BR>Manyhugs to all<BR>I mightnot be here that often but you are still in my heart<BR>Kat

It took me about a good year to figure out who the card fairy <I>really</I>was! SHHHHH..... I'm not telling! <P>Yes Samantha... I DO think YOU were the one to start the burning the candle tradition, when you prayed for all of us. And I think you started it with one of my frantic days! Thank you so much, I am forever grateful.<P>Sheba, it has been too long! I lost track of what was happening in your life since the D and the camping trip! I could reply to all of you. So many questions!<P>Last August, I signed up as a VISTA volunteer. It is like a domestic peace corps - you raise your right hand and promise to be available 24/7. And it has kept me extremely busy. Made a fantastic powerpoint presentation - writing grants and reports - designed a web-site, and lots and lots of traveling. I have a very interesting job. <P>We still haven't moved over to the lake house, and X still lives 4 doors down, and OW lives behind the X. Some things never change? But - now that the weather is finally starting to unthaw, (and flood - recruiting sandbaggers out there....) - I suppose we will get more done and closer to the goal of getting moved out of this crummy little town!<P>We are doing fabulous! I am sooooo glad that I found MB, and that you all were here with prayers and support. I know many times I was told by the best MB'ers to get out. But there was a little voice inside of me (God?) telling me that HE HATES DIVORCE, and that All things work together for good. IT IS SO TRUE!<P>It is so nice to see all of us here in one spot once again. I miss our old forum, and feel overwhelmed by the new people desperate for understanding and insight. <P>I have prayed so often for many of you. <P>God Bless you all.<P>TNT<BR>PS.... julie - I have special prayers for you, my friend. God loves you so very much, and he wants you to trust Him. The Lord says - that the only thing that we humans can do to please him, is to trust him. Do that, and you will be okay. I promise. {hugs to Love was Blind}<BR>
