Hiya Sweetie! I've been a lurker for the past little while---been in a weird frame of mind and feeling quite alone. HOWEVER--on a lighter note, tomorrow is the LAST EXAM of my university career, praise the Lord and pass the peanut butter!!! I am just sooooo thankful that the end is in sight that I could just yodel!! (Well, not really, but if I could I would.) You, Sandie, are the last person that ANYONE could find offensive in any way. You are the most uplifting and supportive gal I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. And for this, I thank the Good Lord for putting you on this site! So there! That's my version and I'm sticking to it! LOVE YOU!

(((HUGS)) and

I owe it to all of you the support and committment this journey needs to be successful. Troy

Okay....I have NO idea what happened here. But WOW! Sorry to hear something did. I haven't felt as connected here as I use to, but in my opinion (for myself anyway). I really can't be because I don't get a chance to come on as often as I use to. I don't get to read everyones posts and that gives me the disconnected feeling. Is part of it the board? I don't think so at all. I think it's just me. I think I'm going through a funk...a blech time. Beginning to do what I have always done in my life and start to make friendships and then back away from them. WHY? I don't know, part of that "I don't want to let you get too close, then you can't hurt me" syndrome, I guess. If I've hurt anyone here, I do apologize. I never ever would have done so intentionally, but I'm sure I could have with my mouth. Another good reason for me not to post so much. Take care all and know that everyone that comes here, comes for support and friendship. Sorry if someone got hurt here.

I'm thinking things have gotten blown quite out of proportion, myself. This stemmed from someone feeling they don't belong, but they stated they were not hurt - just more comfortable elsewhere. It's easy to misinterpret just what made that person feel that way, it may have been something someone said, or it just might have been that person's issue. I know I felt alarmed at first, hoping and praying I hadn't offended (I have a big mouth, I fear I could do so at any time and not have a clue!). But if I let myself think I had anything to do with it, I would drastically reduce my participation here. And frankly? I don't want to. I have gotten so much from everyone here, and I've been told that people feel they get a lot from me. I hope that is true. I know I haven't been malicious in my posts, so I can't waste my energy going down the negative path of wondering and worrying. Unless someone tells me point blank the I have done something offensive, I NEED to continue on here, to keep my WLS journey at the very forefront of my existance - because I do NOT want to go back to where I was.
