Could you please be a little patient?

Cindy, you're a sweetie and I'm OK.  I'm just sad that it causes stress between the members.  I too am very concerned for newbies and people needing help.  Any events I am involved with in the future will definitely have announcements made regarding purses and their locations. 

Y-as usual, you are taking things too PERSONALLY!!!!!!..Now...go get some rest....PEOPLE: PM me...I got nuthin else to do today, and could use the diversion...plus, I'll tell you to go ahead and *****or move along..just whatever floats your boat...cuz I still believe in Freedom of Speech, flag wavin' and all that...if you don't like/relate to a thread: move along...don't read it...skip it...If you DO have something to say: Say it...seems simple enough to me...If you don't want people calling you a thief...don't steal...If you don't want people calling you a liar..don't lie...Why do people make this so difficult?? It's just an INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD, folks...

PLEASE tell me it's not your sole reason for breathing....lol

I loves ya baby doll and I'm glad you tolerate me!  I know I'm so brain dead that I'm not thinking very well right now.  In fact I need to post another segment from the ASMBS because Dr. Garth and his dad is on it.  I'm going to do that and then I'm going to try to take a nap in between cat and kitten feeding and socializing.  I only have ten in my house right now.  Just call me the crazy cat lady....
love ya girlfriend.

Amen sister!  I say again, AMEN and well said!

PAUL..even though you were talking to Y, and not to me...I read it...and loved everything you said...even the stuff I didn't quite understand cuz you're too much smarter than me (must be that Dallas vs Joshua mentality thing)...and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new avatar pic...just wanted you to know!!

Paul,
It has nothing to do with re-shooting Journeys.  I consider you a valuable friend who still does not entirely understand what happened.

I'm not going to rehash all the reasons I asked the whole subject not be discussed at the time but among them were how this affected RYD, respect to Sarah who had not discussed this openly yet, and many other reasons that I do not wish to list on the board.  I simply asked to please keep it quiet and off the board until it was resolved.  That is all I asked.  The people that were directly involved (the victims and the people that were first notified at RYD) were in complete agreement about how it was to be handled and that was taken out of our hands.  I asked as nice as I could.  I have since discussed this with all involved and it was resolved.  Now because the person that did the damage has chosen to bring it to the surface, we are yet again allowing bad feelings fester and I'm thinking it is probably high entertainment for many and perhaps the original offender. 

For each and every person...unless you have been involved from the beginning, you may not even know why or how some of this story evolved. Certainly many people have no idea how hard I have worked to make sure the authorities had all the info they needed.  I would think that everyone would have some consideration for the victims who must feel yet again victimized by the stress this is putting on the board. 

If someone has any other questions, I will be more than happy to answer them in a PM.   It has caused me more than enough sleepless nights because I could not talk about all of it openly.  We indeed may have not handled it perfectly but our hearts are in the right place and I'd like for people not to judge any of us on what may have been said in haste but more on the big picture....and the many good things that have evolved out of RYD and the TMB. 

Y-this CRAP will run its course and soon be a distant memory...TRY not to worry so much about it. Some WONDERFUL memories have come out of both the RYD conferences, and those will live on. SARAH and TRACEY have handled their victimization (is that a WORD???) with pure GRACE, and have moved on. THEY in no way "blame" RYD, etc, I promise you. I don't think anyone really wishes any harm to CHARLENE B--we just kinda want her to go away-she's the one who keeps bringing this crap up!!

As for the TMB...well...you know how we are...lol..a mixed bag of nuts...and we like it that way!!!

Now...go get some rest!!!!

My darling Gina and the future grandmother of my grandchildren... you said the one thing I have been trying to say all along..

All that needs to be done is for Charlene B to go away.. plain and simple.. oops somehow her profile disappeared.. darn, sorry about that..  And if her thread is pulled to rants and raves, will she have the ability to start another??  and here we go again.

We can't clear up the infection if the problem causing the infection is allowed to fester.
