Twiggyish | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 12:38 pm   A virtue some don't have..LOL Hope your day goes better. |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 12:43 pm   Tess, you won't hear it from me. Sorry that is still happening to you. I look forward to a time when things are settled down a bit more--and hoping that time is very soon. |
Tess | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 12:57 pm   Lance, I know I haven't heard it from you and I thank you for that. Any suggestions for me?? I am at my wit's end here. Deep breath. Patience is a virtue. Digging deep for some virtue.  |
Flint | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 01:16 pm   Mine was warm, sunny, and had little to do with a computer. |
Grod | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 01:17 pm   I am sorry you think I was saying you were someone else that is not what i meant. maybe you misunderstood my posting. i think yesterday i said i admire your courage maybe its because I dont make friends as easily and I thought you knew everyone on the board and its harder for me to be more open. i was just responding to zeb's question and just meaning i don't know you or anyone. I thought zeb thought you and i know each other because we are both new. i get the impression there is some strain with longtime people, but i don't know what has happened except what i read in the school folder after i just signed up only because it was the next folder after the members area and I was going in order. I don't want to get into any fights with people here that is not my style. i didn't know people were questioning you. this is a large board, it is hard to get a finger on everything here, i am stumbling blindly and just trying to fit in. and this is a long post it is easier to post shorter for me anyways. |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 01:22 pm   Well, ideally you shouldn't need patience--others should be toning the accusations down a bit. or all together. You've even offered to provide proof! Again, you're giving a lot more than you should have to. You could always ask those who accuse you if they are posting under another name, or have previously. If that doesn't work, fart on them!! (ok, that one is a bit drastic) |
Grod | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 01:41 pm   i am laughing lancecrossfire. I certainly need patience with myself. i click one button and thinking something else will come up. then i get distracted in the folder i open, then i don't know how to get out. I just realized if i press my "back" button on my screen, i can go back to where i start from. this is so confusing but almost like a game to figure out how to move around on these messageboards. |
Tess | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 01:42 pm   Thanks, Grod, for the clarification. I accept that. No problem. I do make friends very easily where ever I go. Case in point, last time I went to pick my sister up at the airport her flight was delayed several hours and my husband urged me to come home and rest and then go back. I decided to stay because I was having a great time. I met people from all over the world and had great conversations. These were all people I will never see again but that doesn't matter to me. For several hours what for my husband would have been sheer torture and for others at the very least a large incovenience, was for me a wonderful adventure. I never know from day to day how short or long my life will be so I try to make the most of each and every experience. In truth, everyone can say they don't know how long their lives will be. Anyway, I am trying to get the most out of my TVCH experience and contribute what I can where I can. Hmmm. This day is getting better already. |
Tess | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 01:44 pm   Lance, I'll be okay. Deep breath help. Am now fairly overflowing with patience. When it runs out I'll summon dear husband to come a provide the service you suggested. I think he is world-champion. (sad for me) |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 01:55 pm   Grod, isn't that "back" function great? Note all the selections choices at the top just below the banners too. My comments about those who question if you are someone else weren't directed at Grod--just anyone in general who brings it up and won't let go. If someone ever feels they've pulled the wool over on me by posting as two different people, then they have even less of a life than I do. That trick isn't hard to pull off if you put just a little effort into it. It also seems like a waste of time IMHO. Yes, bad for you Tess, especially if he practices on you. |
Tess | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 02:37 pm   Tess goes to open a window. There's no practicing going on. He's the master at it already.  |
Misslibra | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 02:50 pm   I have company in from out of town. Today my friend took his boat out, so we were out on the lake, but the waters were quite choppy due to the wind. But it's been a beautiful day here. And if it's nice tomorrow I'm going to have a cookout before my company leaves to go back home.  |
Willi | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 03:41 pm   Enjoy your company Miss L. We filled up our propane tank today so we can BBQ outside(after 7 months!) and we're on a few acres so we spent a lot of the day doing yard work and I expect to do more tomorrow. It feels so good being outside after being cooped up all Winter, I'm enjoying getting my hands dirty again! |
Moondance | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 03:51 pm   I would love to BBQ with MsL and Willi |
Tess | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 03:52 pm   Oh, a cookout sounds so nice after our eternal winter. We're going to a fund-raiser dinner for our parish school. I'm hoping to get some good things at the silent auction. One of the items available is the use of a one family's luxury camper for a week. Wish me luck! |
Willi | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 03:58 pm   Moon, That would be a good time!
|
Janner | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 03:59 pm   Luck Tess! |
Willi | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 04:02 pm   I missed that Tess...I wish you much luck for that camper. |
Twiggyish | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 04:08 pm   Now that would be fun. Our family loves to camp. |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, April 21, 2001 - 04:13 pm   That was nice of the family to donate the use of such a camper! Good luck Tess |
Misslibra | Monday, April 23, 2001 - 09:29 am   My day has been just MARVELOUS !! I feel so wonderful today. I lived to see another day. To hear the birds sing, to watch the Tulips bloom. Some of you may know I have muiltiple Sclerosis, and I have been in remission for well over a year now. So every day that I can move around on my own without the help of anybody or anything is wondeful to me. Right now my body feels as if I don't have a thing wrong with me. The only problem I have is with heat, I can't handle to much. But other then that I'm a normal person again, and for that I am so thankful !! So yes, I would say today and everyday that this MS don't have me down is a good day for me ! BTW, spreading the Keith joy around has put me in a extra good mood ! GO KEITH !  |
Grooch | Monday, April 23, 2001 - 12:15 pm   Misslibra, I'm sorry to hear that you have ms. I found out a few months ago that someone at my job has it to. But then I found out that it has been in remission for over ten years. So hang in there!!! |
Tess | Monday, April 23, 2001 - 01:11 pm   Hang in there MissL. I can relate 100%. Sometime I'll tell you my little story. Now, back to ripping out soggy wallboard (can't call it dry wall any more) and panelling. Tossing out baby mementos (sob) and cursing the rain gods. Oh, and don't think I don't know what YOU'VE been up to while I've been up to my eyeballs in water. Just you wait. I don't even have time for a GO BESSY!!! |
Willi | Monday, April 23, 2001 - 06:51 pm   MissL, I'm so glad your MS is in remission! I didn't know you had MS... I have Rheumatoid Arthritis & after a few bad years...I'm going on a few weeks here with minimal effects of it...So you reminded me how much of a blessing a remission is! Hugs to you & thanks!!! And...See ya in your folder |
Tess | Monday, April 23, 2001 - 07:16 pm   Willi and MissL big hugs to both of you. I have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (only 3% of people who have it have never smoked --I'm part of the 3%) and Fibromyalgia with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I think you both are very brave and I'm so glad you're going through a good time right now. You will both be in my prayers every day. This has turned into a wonderful day. In the midst of the destruction from our flooding and the loss of so many precious mementos that can never be replaced -- I found the little outfit that my Sweetie Cakes wore the first day she arrived from Korea. When she got off the plane she was so hot and sweaty that as soon as we got home I put in her in a brand new little outfit with little pink satin rosebuds and embroidery. It was dry and clean and smellng as sweet as the day she wore it. I think it must be a miracle. Even things that didn't get soaked are still ruined from the smell but not this little outfit. This is a very good day. Thank you, God, for my silver lining. |
