@cherry now if I can just get @moonchilde to come back and share...I know is one of those few rare moments when she shares something deeply personal and profound...somethig she rarely does without a whole lotta thought. I do learn from her and has been great to get to know her better via e-mails. Hugs to everyone.

If you trust anybody on the internet, you probably have a financial portfolio that includes the Brooklyn Bridge

There are people I like on the internet, people I enjoy reading their thoughts on the internet, but trust for me is a real life issue.

I'm very lucky, I have people I can trust in real life.  Some about some things, and some about more things, and a very few about a lot of things.

I grew up with parents that weren’t reliably looking out for my best interests, so I feel fortunate to be able to rely on my husband to look out for me.  I trust both of my sons to do their best by me if needed — one is better suited for practical issues, the other one *gets* me better on what I would like.

Aww, you two! @cherry and @Stormygirl ❤️❤️❤️

Your words mean more than you know - especially in this thread. I very much consider both of you good friends 😻, and people who “get” me. 

One of the reasons I appreciate you both so much is that if you disagree with me, you’ll simply say why you see it a different way, without judgment or the assumption that I live to be a nasty b****. And I’ll attempt to clarify because with you, I know it isn’t a trap. 

We can all misunderstand each other from time to time on these forums regarding a particular topic. I absolutely love it when someone I may have “crossed words” with on a particular topic is okay with staring the playing field over, level, in other threads (as I try hard to do). I have made forum friends with a few people in this way.

But there will also always be those who are determined not to like you whatever you say, and respond not so much to what you said, or ask you to clarify in sincerity, but just respond in a hostile manner wherever and whenever because they have decided they.don’t.like.you, full stop. Sometimes veiled, sometimes not - usually not much, lol. 

I am used to that too. I’ve been on internet forums, the type with NO moderation and no holds barred, for 25 years. I see and know, and have an extremely accurate radar for those who wish to play me or wish me ill.

With one person, I have honestly tried. I have agreed in other topics. I have complimented. I have done what I could in various threads to “start over.” It has all come to nothing, and I will try no more from this point. It is what it is. I know that my heart was in the right place, and that’s enough for me. 

This is a happy Sunday for me, to have both of you feeling well enough to post. Nothing is going to spoil that for me.

The best liars . . . the ones who can fool a lie detector test . . . are the ones who can hurt you the most.  Because you loved them almost all of your life even though you knew things about them that you wished weren't true.  When they turn on you, it crushes your soul.

I sure can relate to the liars.  I have one in my life who can look you in the eye while she lies through her teeth and I fall for it all the time.  She has broken my heart over and over but sadly I am stuck with her.
