My Point about support groups

MY point is I have been attending support groups in maine for the last year and have been to the one at Keesler. I am in pain still and my husband is back to work. We live in Waveland and one- financially right now couldnt afford 3 trips to Biloxi this week and two- I cant drive and dont know anyone who can help me. That was my point. I felt you all were giving me a hard time because I was going to miss ONE meeting at 6 days postop. I have an extensive background in medicine and am very aware of how important the support groups are. This month I thought the my MS oh family would do since I couldnt make the other meeting. Maybe just getting hormonal or whatever. But that is my reason for the other comment.

I fully understand being broke or right at it anyways !!! Not one person here expects you to be at every support group meeting that is held. But we don't want anyone to knock them either. I just don't understand why you would put that you did great in what you had to eat & then make it a point to say in the same sentance that you did great & did NOT even go to a meeting. That is where my questions came into play. Also the fact that you lived in Maine could be why there is such a big communication problem. I have a sister & brother who were raised there since birth. Most people raised in the North are what I would call overly snippy, arrogant, rude, etc. And it isn't that they are or that they are trying to be mean or ugly.... they just come across that way to a Southerner. Right now maybe your emotions are running super high since you just had surgery. So we should just let this drop before it gets too out of hand. And everyone start over since its a new day. Hope you feel better really soon !!! Tammy

First we were stationed in Maine. I am not from there my husband is military. I am from the south. I will not stand by and let folks give me a hard time and not stand up for myself. This wont get out of hand as this will be my last post on OH. I dont need this I thought we were all supposed to be here for each other.

Now see.... I knew that you were being mean & ugly the whole time. And I knew that my post would but like putting out a piece of cheese. Peanut Butter & Cheese will draw a rat out everytime. If your looking for reason to leave this message board just leave. Don't try to put the blame on somebody else. Every person on this board has been nice to you. Most have went out of their way to make you feel at home here. You just don't want to fit in. Plain & Simple. Nothing More & Nothing Less. I think you like to play the victim. Kinda like what is his name ??? You know, the one that was captured in Iraq & the other than is still running free in that other country. Paki... something. Just so you know....... We are from the South also & we will NOT let anyone come up in here & bash one of our own without us saying something. Sorry bout that, but you know what..IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN !!!

Hi, My name is GENE, i am the husband of the RAT that u so casually called my wife, I AM FROM ALABAMA and i am about as SOUTHERN as they come so if you really want to act like the southerner that u sound like (wtk) we can go there. But as for mentioning the people that were captured and then comparing it to this you are full crap AND TALKING OUT YOUR A**---dont do it, cause you have no F**** idea whats it like over there and it galls me to see stupid people use it as a punch line in a joke or something they think that is humorous.

Frankly my dear.. I don't give a damn what your name is or where your from. Your wife is a lying, poor me crying rat. You are just as stupid as she is. I'm not compairing living situations. I'm talking about people always wanting to be the victim in everything. Sounds to me like you are compassionate toward those A** over there. Are you supporting the way they were running things ? It sure sounds like it to me. Does the Government know your on payroll & that you are SH & OBL supporters ? If you are so concerned about what it is like "over there" why isn't your A** over there now ? Instead, here you are safe at home crying too. According to what all your wife said... you need to be at Mickey D's earning some money for your broke a** family. So why you have all this time to be crying is beyond me. You are one Big F****** Idiot who was probably standing pround at the fall of the Twin Towers.

Actually MY DEAR i was over there, and i saw people die so that you have the freedom to act like this, so with that i hope you are enjoying yourself, because its people like me that ALLOW you to be able to be an asshole when you want to be and a good person when it suites you, i was loking at your surgery page and it looks like most of the time you are pretty nice to people i just cant figure out what you r problem is and why you need to be so nasty to people who were not even talking to you, but thats what is great about this country people die everyday so that you can be that way, looking at the post on your surgery page the words THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS seems to be a little out of character for you i wonder if all those people who said Thanks saw this last little post of yours, What would they think (myself I'm thinking HYPOCRITE) of all your PRAYERS. Its hard to be at MICKY D'S earning money when i have to work so hard just to keep YOUR FREEDOMS and RIGHTS to post such nasty posts here. As far as the Twin Towers comment, really uncalled for and you obvisouly have no idea what all those young kids have given up to go do something that was not thier idea of a great time, but unlike you they go and do thier job and not just whine about it on a message board. I really hope you are very proud of yourself by disgracing the young men and women that have given thier life so that you can have the freedoms that you have. With that said I FEEL TRUELY SORRY FOR YOU. Take Care Now--Im on my way to Mikey D's now (cheese burger and fries for me -- you need anything)

Actually I am enjoying my Freedom Thanks to my Dad who was in WWII. If it wasn't for him & others like him, I'd be speaking the Germ or Jap lingo. And so would you for that matter. So don't even come up in here acting like you alone saved the world. And by the way, your wife was talking to me. Have you even bothered to read all of her post or are you just going by what she tells you & wants you to know ? HYPOCRITE.... You must be looking in a mirror when you say that word. Because it is so fitting of you & your wife. NASTY.... Only to an a** like you. But honestly I have not even began to get nasty yet. I'm still just toying around with you. Is your blood pressure up yet ? Are you nervous, mad, upset ? Oh & by the way. As long as your disgracing people, there is no need for me to do it. Your doing a great job of that right by yourself. I wonder how your CO would feel about all you & wifey are saying.... I just may have to send some copies out. I bet that they would be so proud of the way your representing the military :thumsup: Do you always try to take things people say & twist & turn them ? I bet you were really good at that as a child & it just became a habit didn't it ? While your at Mickey D's pick up your wife some ice cream. That always semms to help stop cry babies from crying.

I DIDNT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING TILL I READ THE LAST POST . I THINK THIS HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HAND AND WHAT YOU SAID WAS RUDE .. AMY AND RHONDA CAN WORK THIS OUT . I THINK THEY ARE SUCH GOOD WOMEN THAT THEY COULD END UP BEING GOOD FRIENDS .. I THINK YOU ARE THE ONE THAT WAS MEAN AND BEING UGLY .. WE DONT NEED A BULLY IN HERE . SARA AMY & RHONA I HOPE YALL CAN TALK I HAVE TALKED TO YOU BOTH AND ARE GREAT PEOPLE AND IM SURE IT WAS NOT MENT THE WAY IT CAME OUT

Sara, It wasnt Amy and Rhonda.. It as Amy and me... I dont think anyone is trying to be a bully but nobody wants to take it up the ass either. When someone says Practice what you preach.. there is nothing there but sarcasm and that is rude in itself. That was a stab at me and I didnt deserve it. I dont want to fight with you or anyone else and I have apologized to Amy if she thought my comment to her was rude.
