Hello to cater. :)

Joey Heatherton — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 02:23:25 GMT

Thank you for your kindness and sensitivity......wishing every single person here, posting or just reading, a peace and a COURAGE to help yourself first......then later, if we are lucky, the ability to help others, too. Start with a smile or a kind word or two......we never know the true effect of our decency toward others........

I came back to the (other) board/thread a bit too late. Only read the last page or so. Wishing all well, and to the other OP: Always remember that tomorrow is always a precious gift. Good evening to all, sleep well.

(((Joey))) I read your post and was responding when the thread was deleted. Sending prayers and good thoughts to you and your sister. I've been there myself, more than I can safely explain here. No one walks in our exact shoes, and the journeys are all slightly different, but I just wanted you to know I do understand.

I agree that kindness goes a long way in helping those in need. Cater is a fellow poster who always treats with kindness and evidently you too Joey Heatherton are a kind person.

I agree with the op regarding Cater and would also like to say Lindsays Grandma, that your kindness does not go unnoticed.

There are truly so many uncaring people here that just like to see their words in print. I don't care how long this has been going on or what you think about the situation, if you don't have anything nice to say, why not just ignore?

I have to say sometimes I am very surprised by what some posters have to say.

Hello and thank you SO much to serenna, croemer, dooBdoo, ROMARY, Lindsay' s Grandma.......your replies filled with sincerity and goodwill mean a lot!........I consider myself savvy, book smart and street smart too....I do understand that many here have grave reservations and doubts about the things they read here.... I can't say I blame them... but, for me, if there's 1/10th of 1 percent possibility that a fellow human being is suffering emotionally, mentally or physically, well I cannot help but offer a shoulder.......it costs nothing, it doesn't hurt me.....it MAY help her or him.....and if a word from me helps, you know?... then that's a gift to me, too! .......good week ahead everyone!

I also noticed Lindsay's Grandma's post and loved how she spoke about wearing our signs which is very insightful and generally wonderful advice.

I promised myself I would no longer participate. I do not know the truth but would hate to think the community here is being made the butt of a cruel joke.

Hi, again, Joey. I respect your opinion and I can tell from your past posts that you have a good heart and gentle spirit. After a time, I have a problem with things that appear to be manipulative, usually I don't respond to those threads but on occasion I do, and most posters know I'm one of the last to be harsh. As I said on the poofed thread, my hopes and prayers are that those reading who really do want help can benefit from the comments and advice that's been given over all these years.

I think all of us try to do the best we can with the knowledge and experience we have at the time ... when we know better, we try to do better. (paraphrasing Maya Angelou)

ROMARY — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 03:10:18 GMT

Yes, Joey H. .......... I always give folks the benefit of the doubt. At the very least, many of us can learn from one another. There's always someone we know, if not ourselves, who are in similar situations. It doesn't cost a dime to be a nice person. After all, even the professionals (docs, etc.) have to give folks the benefit of all doubt.

Hello focksie.......'re your last sentence.......I hope not, too.......but speaking for myself ONLY........since I cannot be sure, I feel I have two choices......ignore and don't respond......or offer a word or two of solace and understanding.....no cost to me......but I cannot criticize or scold others who take an opposite approach...to ME? It's Not my place to scold..... BUT that does NOT mean I judge others who take that route. But I myself, cannot do it that way........wishing everyone a happy, stress free week ahead!
