Monday...

Good morning people...

I have a follow-up with Dr. Gupta this morning. Very sad. It's going to be my last time seeing her. After her pulling me through so many life-threatening moments in the past ~5 years, I'm very sad to see her leave St. Vincent. Someone asked the other day if we knew where she was going. When I asked her, she said Witham.

I had made the decision to block a few people here. I'm quite sure you all know who I mean. Since they are blocked, they don't know that I am telling you this..unless YOU tell them ...and then it will be YOU stirring crap. Anyway, from now on, any posts that I make of future events will be with the disclaimer that if you aren't viewing my post directly, then consider yourself not invited. Period. If any of you care to share my posts with these certain people, they still are not invited and will be escorted off the premises. If we cannot protect ourselves from stalking, harassment, and threats..then perhaps we should just quit getting together at all....but that would be exactly what is wanted. The way I see it is Michelle got EXACTLY what she wanted Saturday. She was able to get whatever clothes she wanted AND prevent others from coming. I refuse to give her what she wants though. But... I am in fear for Dr. Gupta's life since she is going to the hospital that Michelle has threatened to go postal on with an AK47. Yeah..'joking about it' my butt! She started off ranting and raving about how pissed off she was at Witham before making the threat. BTW..for those who didn't know, the police got involved with that one and did NOT take it as a joke. For others who are also sick of the threats, etc, I suggest you block theirs butts too! If we all did that, she and others are going to have very little to comment on to make the threats with. They also won't know when or where the events are in order to show up to cause problems there. And..if you have no idea what in the heck I'm talking about, please don't comment on it unless you go back and read past posts to learn the history behind it. This board did not start the day you joined or the day you decided to start posting. And what I had said is for no one to come to the event if they plan on starting crap. I did not name names..but you know, that goes for everyone. We don't want any crap at any of our events from anyone. If that makes me wrong, I'm wrong. Have your own dang events and cause all the problems you want there...but don't come to any of the ones that are organized by others with the intent of starting something.

Okay...enough of this BS..I did not come to this board and do not come to this board for BS. I do come to support my friends. And THAT is what I did. Period. It's time to move on now.

Good morning all! I got an early start at 5am. Got my lap swimming in at the Y. Afterwards I made a special drive by to Crossroads Communications for the fundraiser for Josh Combs. (For those not in the area, a local DJ's son was tragically killed last week in an accident where a large log rolled on him. The radio station is having a fundraiser for funeral expenses.) I donated $10, and requested a song to be played in memory of each of my girls. Annie's Song was for Lucy, and So What, by Pink, was for Maggie (that was her favorite song on the radio.)

Morning all
I am up thats it i told myself when i opened my eyes i was going to have a productive day .lol
I am going to watch haunting in conneticut with the boys..ugh i cant break a promise.
Sherry beens she isnt going far are you staying with her?
I sure missed the exchange i would love to see all of you.
Linda that is so sad and its great that you can be there for them.huggs
Everyone enjoy your day and remember thats why they make boots to walk thru alll the BS  lol

Lisa,

Lebanan would be a bit of a drive for me...especially if something happened to me. As it is when I'm in St. V's, Bill won't ask anyone to take him there (he doesn't want to be a bother) so he can only come up to see me when Tiffany is off & able to come. If I was way up in Lebanan, I would feel deserted there even more so.

Besides, Dr. Cacucci and I also have abit of a history and Bill & Tiffany also feel comfortable with her almost as much as they do with Dr. Gupta. She was the one who had put me in the coma...and told them to start making plans for either my funeral or long-term care. She had also done the first two times back into surgery while I was in the coma (Dr. Gupta did the other two). Prior to all that, she did 2 of my 21 endo's..so Bill & Tiff got to see her then too.

There are 2 places that we are keeping an eye on to be sure they aren't trying to become hernia's. I go back to see Dr. Cacucci on Sept. 4th...unless the intestines decide to get stuck at either of those places..then it'll be ASAP. I am really, really, really hoping that Bill & Tiff...and my insides...don't get to know Dr. Cacucci as well as we all have Dr. Gupta.

ps...I missed seeing you Saturday too but I'm really glad that you all had such a good time at King's Island. I think Neil is very lucky to have the wonderful woman you are! I think he thinks so to...which is why I think you are equally as lucky to have him.

Sherri, would you please send me a PM and tell me how to block someone? 

I appreciate your trying to keep the exchange a fun and comfortable place for all.

Melissa,

I know you asked for this to be by pm but there may be others who are wanting to know too. There are three ways you can block someone (that I know of). The simplist is by going to a thread in which they posted. Under their post, there are little boxes with options....like to add them as a friend or to contact them. There is also one that says 'block'. Just click it and when it asks if you are sure, click 'yes'. That's all there is to it.

After a person is blocked, they know longer see your posts..or you can see their's. There is also no access either way to each other's profiles. But..if you have them blocked, why would you want to see their profile?

Now...a person can come onto OH without logging on and they can read anyone's posts then. We have also had people to make several identities to log on with so sometimes it can be hard to keep up with all of them and have them all blocked.

Good afternoon all!

I woke up this morning feeling cranky and out of sorts so back to bed for an hour I went. It helped! I have so much to do this week preparing for my 5 year old's birthday party. But hey I welcome the busy because I have to admit I have been a little bored being off all summer. I look foward getting back into the swing of things.

Sherri, I understand why you said and did what you did. Sometimes someone has to be the defender for the whole group and take some pretty strong stands. IF  it protects the whole then so be it. We all come here to get encouragement, support and to be free from the world's threats. In the support groups that I have done for my internship, it has been important to keep the harmony of the group positive and that is what you are doing. So kuddos to you!

I hope all of you have a great week full of love and blessings.

Kristie,

Thank you and I appreciate it. I also appreciate it that you have obviously been in a position before to where a strong stance was needed. Sometimes, someone has to be the one to stand up and say 'enough'.

Now..before you start getting some flame mail, you might want to do a little bit of blocking...

Happy Monday all.

I am on lunch break and wanted to say hello to everyone.  Has anyone heard how Ayreka did on Friday?  I have been saying prayers for her and just was wondering.  I am trying to catch up on posts.  It seems like Lyn had good news and thats encouraging. 

I hate that we missed seeing everyone on Saturday but it just couldnt be helped.  You can bet we will be there next time. 

Hope you all have an awesome week and stay encouraged!  Move it to lose it, and get in all your supplements!!!  We are a wonderful group of losers!!! 

Huge hugs to all,
Tracy
