Drama!

Wowzer!!!

I haven't been here for a while due to a lot of family and work issues. It seems that there have been some misunderstanding in our posting lately. I have been on the soapbox many times on this subject and don't plan to jump back up on that particular soapbox. I'd just like to remind everyone here that we are so much better off together rather than apart. I know that my attendance is such that I shouldn't preach about this right now, but I still look in on the board regularly and think about what I read here. I really do care about all of you and would be saddened to lose you. I'm sure that there are many people *****ad the posts here and benefit from them without posting themselves. It may seem unfair that not everyone participates, but we all seem to go through periods of heavy participation followed by "time off".

My point in all of this, Dear Marchers, is that we should not allow difference of opinion on a given subject to cause us to leave the board "in a huff". Let's celebrate our differences and continue to do what we came here for 5 years ago.......Love, Respect, Help, and Support one another!!!!  As always, Connie got right to the point in her post listing her "self guidelines". I plan to apply them to myself and ask that you all think about the message.

Big Hugs to all;

Mike

thank you for your very true posting.

Hi Pam;

One of these days, we should try to get to a SG meeting with Maureen so I can finally meet you.

Mike

Hi Mike, you always fill my heart with gladness when you post! As always, your words are wise and wonderful - and I will certainly take them to heart. Thank you - don't be a stranger, especially as we all count down to March 2009. I hope you and yours are all doing well. God bless, Maureen

Howdy Pardner...

Thanks for the kind words. I know that I'm derelict in my participation, but I'm still looking in and still thinking about all of you. I want to post more often, but I'm not as successful as I'd like.
Can you believe that it's almost 5 years since we were dragging our rumps and our IV trees up and down the hallways??!!!

Mike

Gosh, Mike, that seems like it was so long ago in one respect, but feels like it was yesterday! Do you know what I remember most about those 4 days we were "neighbors" on the 4th floor?? I remember Jim and Abby.  How attentive and caring they were to both of us even though they were unsure (every bit as much as you and I were!) about what we had just done and where this was all headed! They both walked that corridor with us, and the four of us talked hopefully together, making light of it - helping us both to make sense of it. That's what I remember mostly - and you chugging that little thimbleful of Carnation Instant Breakfast on the 4th morning so that you could beat it out of there! That was so funny! I miss you - and would love to have a Michael, Abby, Jim, and Maureen reunion-double date! I hope you're well. Give my best to Abby. Maureen

Mike,

Sorry that in my "Marchers" post I referred to us as "sisters".    Love you Bubba!

Joy

Thanks Joy......No offence taken!

 I grew up in female dominated family as most of the men died early. As one of the few guys in the tribe, I learned to hold my own with a bunch of strong, no-nonsense women. I can handle being "One of the Girls"!!!
