Just some thoughts...
Okay...so let me just say yes, I involved myself in that drama with 2 of our most favorite posters on the Oklahoma forum. Let me say also that over the past month, I haven't been on much, partly because of that whole situation and trying to figure it all out and why I even involve myself in crap sometimes. In my thoughts about the whole thing, I just have a few things to say.
First of all...yes, Cowboy is a womanizer. Do I care? No. Did I? For a little while, yes. But...only because he is infectious and you can't help but adore him. Every girl lives and loves to hear the sweet things he says to them. He just has a way of making you feel desirable. It took me a long time to realize it isn't because he wants to screw everyone on this site. I think a lot has to do with the fact that he loves making women feel good about themselves. And that...he's good at. I think the problem a lot of us have (including myself in that most definitely), is that we are women and we get emotional about all of that ooey gooey stuff. We think if a man tells us we're beautiful, he wants to give us the world and make all our dreams come true. Well...guess what? They don't. Sometimes, he's just telling us we're beautiful. Sometimes they just want us to know we're attractive to them. Sometimes, they want us to know that we're desirable and just leave it at that. Why do we as women hold onto it so much? Not saying it's a horrible thing to love the compliments, but lets grow up and realize that its okay to not fall for every freaking man that tells us we're gorgeous. I'm so tired of trying to get all wrapped up in something some man tells me. I love it...yes...love love love it. But come on. Tell me I'm beautiful, let me appreciate the comment and bask in the glory of it for a few minutes...and lets move on. I'm sorry I got involved in it. And...there will probably be some post from one of them I'm sure including some of the things I said about the other one. Whatever...so be it. It happens. Just know I've thought a lot and decided I was incredibly wrong about a lot of things and I'm sorry I got involved like I did.
I love being on this site, but quite frankly, don't have the time or energy it takes to try to keep up with everyone all the time with going to school, working and being a full-time momma. I check my regular email daily and am perfectly happy with receiving mail there if you want to keep in touch. Just pm me and I'll send you my email address. As for being on here...it just probably won't happen much very often with school starting tomorrow. I love you all and wish you all the best and can't wait to see you at support group meetings. Hugs from me and know I love you all.

Liz! Thank you!! I totally agree and tried to say that....somehow it blew up again!! Thank you for being the great person you are!! ( no I'm not in love with you, but do love you to pieces)! I just want this to be a wonderful, warm, loving, caring site. Thank you for being so honest but in the process saying what I think everyone on here is saying! Hugs back at you girl!! Sherry
Well, I don't know about gorgeous but better anyway. But this pic doesn't look all that much like me I sometimes think. Even though I took it myself. I think my nose looks huge. Oh well! I'll probably change it again pretty soon.
And look at you, Miss Hottie McHot! Every picture is just more beautiful than the one before.
One would've thought when we met each other those few months ago that we would be doing so well? I'm proud of us both!

I'm with Amy's post above, I am pretty clueless (and looks like I'm glad to be clueless!
), but WOW you look great! Glad to see you posting again.
