<P><BR>OK GUYS LOSTVA (Lori) needs some support!! <BR>(LORI DON'T BE MAD AT ME ) She and H have hit a little bump in recovery and she's VERY VERY TIRED right now.<BR> I'm sure MOST of you know her. She's been a GREAT help to ALL that know her here at MB.<BR> <BR> I didn't see that she posted this problem (maybe I missed it) If she hasn't I THINK it's because she's our Plan "A" poster child and doesn't want to "Let us down"<BR> <BR> I won't/can't/shouldn't tell you what her email was about BUT she is TIRED and REALLY REALLY needs a boost right now. It's probably just a "Bump in the Road" but to Lori as tired as she is (Bless HER Heart) it seems to be a MOUNTAIN!!<BR> A LOT of her wearyness is OUR fault in that she ALWAYS spent so much time helping others on this board she's just getting BURNT-OUT on the whole thing. <BR> SOOOOOOO LET'S SHOW HER HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE HER AND LOVE HER AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE..... SEND HER A EMAIL AND A CYBER CARD or two or three or four. <BR> <BR> If I don't hear that her mailbox was FLOODED WITH 100+ EMAILS AND CARDS I WILL BE VERY DISAPOINTED IN THIS PLACE.<BR> I mean, she's posted THOUSANDS of very LONG and helpful replys on this board and although she needs us I beleive she's thinking of US and not posting right now. Doesn't want people to lose HOPE.<BR> SO COME ON!!! LET'S SHOW HER SOME SUPPORT, LOVE AND THANKS!!

Hi Lori,<P> Thinking of you ..........hope all is well......LU

email sent.<BR>

Just sent her a CUTE e-card! <P>Lori is such an inspiration! I hope she knows that!

PH - you're a mind reader!!!! Glad that you did this first, so she can get mad at you instead of me!!! LOL!!! <P>Only kidding......who could get mad at you?.......wink...wink!!!!!<P>Heartpain, thanks for the info that she is out for the day....although I certainly hope that she doesn't feel pressured to answer ANY of these quickly on an individual basis!!! She has a lot on her plate and a mere thanks to all on here is fine!!!! You know Lori though!!<P>To "our Lostva"....<P>Darlin, we love you!!!! You have been there for us all with your wisdom and compassion.....I would not be who I am today without you!! You touch my heart and warm my very soul. God is surely there with you guys and is leading you this way to make sure this mess gets worked through in the correct fashion.<P>It stinks now, but the knowledge that once this bump is overcome the road of the future will be smooth sailing is your "positive thought" that will get you through......<P>BIG HUGS to you and Robert......<P>I believe and so do you!!!!!<P>Always here for you.....<P>Sheba<BR>

Sent email. Hope she checks in soon!

Done!!!!!!!

Just a duplicate .<BR><p>[This message has been edited by KenB (edited July 21, 2000).]

I for one do not think it is over the top KenB. Lori has been here for everyone of us at one time or the other. <P>I do not think of this place as just a message bord or the posters here as just strangers I will never meet. This place was and is my safe haven, and the people here are like family to me. And Lori is a very loving, compassionate, well loved member of this family.<P>She stayed here to help others when things in her world were looking great, she has always been here for me, I would be horribly disappointed in anyone who wasn't there for her. <P>I sent my card earlier today. We love ya Lori !<P>Deb<P>Hepatitis C, educate yourself, PLEASE ! <A HREF="http://www.hepatitis-central.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.hepatitis-central.com/</A>

AMEN DEB!!!!!<P>Mitzi

I will be posting this to Lori shortly...<P><A HREF="http://www3.bluemountain.com/cards/box4238h/bbm2ikaaatctczi.htm" TARGET=_blank>We Love You, Lori!</A><P>Hugs & Kisses,<BR>TCF

Point taken, Deb. But this thread is still over the top. I might send a sympathy card to Lori , and myself for joining in . At least, I have kept from butting into the mutual admiration chat-room (<2000 posts)thread somewhere on the board. Okay, I'm gone ... for now <BR>

Ok, I've sent. I love Lori, too. Her strength thru her recovery and generosity of spirit and the support she's shown here is astounding. Our problems are a bit similar so I've said many of times, "If Lori could do this, I can, too". But I just wish we could do this ("over the top" show of support) for everyone of us here who has ever reached out and said "I can't do this anymore..." or just plain "HELP!"<P>And Lori, if you read this--that's not to take anything away from you and my support for you--{{{{hugs}}}}, girl! You got my e-mail address now--don't be afraid to use it!

Hi, guys!<P>And hello to you, my big-mouthed friend!! Ken's right, you certainly can go "over the top"! Guess that's why we love you.<P>Hopped on this morning just to check in and my mailbox was flooded. I started reading and started bawling. Poor Robert didn't know what had happened! He read a couple b/f he went to work (and left with a huge smile b/c of your love, btw) and wants to look at the others later. I decided to hop on this board to see who the culprit was! (I had two very good first choices in suspects in mind....yup, Frank, you were one of them! And YOU - the other one - pretty much know who you are too!)<P>Robert and I took the day off yesterday to celebrate his brother's b-day with his brothers and sisters at Busch Gardens (yes, for you who know him, Robert ACTUALLY took a day off! ) We had a great day, lots of fun and tons of support from his family.<P>We're nagivating a bump right now. Robert's been working 7 days a week and going to school at night. We're both absolutely exhausted. Not a great mix for a recovering marriage, I'm afraid.<P>I'll post more later on. I really don't want to go into details right now, I'm a little tired...but I do want to reassure everyone. His affair has not "reignited" and there's not a new one. (he was worried to death you guys would think he was doing something he wasn't.) Times are a bit tough, but we have maintained our committment to each other and to our marriage. We are both very confident that we'll get through this as well.<P>I'll be answering your e-mails.....but, man, it's gonna take a while! You guys are my strength and I love you all very very much. I wouldn't have made it this far without you. Can't even write anymore, bawling again!! God bless each and every one of you. Remember, even when I'm not posting to you, I'm thinking of you all and have my candles lit! (My husband teases me that we're gonna burn the house down and run out of grocery money!)<P>Gonna go now....think I might take a nap. I'll talk to you all very soon. I do love you. Thank you so very much. The strength I didn't think I had, I just found again!<P>Love to you all.<P>Lori<P>

Thank you Frank for letting us know. I couldn't do a card, just did an e-mail. Bless you.

KEN B,<BR> Yes it was "OVER THE TOP" That's because Lori has gone WAY over the top in the CARING and DESERVING departments. I hope someday you can receive this kind of caring. <P> THANKS TO ALL OF YOU GUYS!! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!! If the world "OPENLY" cared as much for "almost" strangers as you guys do, this would be a GREAT world!!<P> Maybe we woke God from a "nap" in watching over the two of them???<BR> GOOD LUCK & PRAYERS TO ALL (even you Kenb ) FRANK

Thanks for being a sport, Frank. I was just amused more than anything . I guess people on this board can get carried away sometimes, me included. I appreciate the prayers, though I can't offer you back some. I hardly know you to really feel it, or don't know if you really need some . Okay, I really better get off your thread now & mind my own business .

Ooops, sorry, another duplicate . <p>[This message has been edited by KenB (edited July 21, 2000).]
