@hckynut,Did you feel compelled to correct her post?

No. I felt it was a good post and wanted to make it easier for some to might skip over it. Many here have said they pass right over posts that are not broken by paragraphs, and I thought this might grab a few more to read it.

I did not read it in totality until I separated it, so it made it easier to read it for myself. Kinda a strange question, no? Not many things in my life I feel "compelled" to do, other than to take as good care as I can of my wife/our furry family, and myself.

@LilacTree Indeed!

@Stormygirl @Moonchilde is the best isn't she? I know she has been a great friend to you. I hope she considers me as a friend ,also

Her posts are always interesting, and informative, well thought out. She is one smart lady

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.
I hope that I am not a person that hurts your feelings or those of anyone else.Ifi do please give me the chance to explain.I try to be understanding of people but sometimes the things I say don't come out the way I intended.I think that the most hurtful people are always very unhappy and want others to feel that way too.I find that when I continue to be nice to them they just don't get it and some just give up the attack after awhile.
happy that you had a great Sunday and wasn't it a nice surprise to have a visit from Stormy.

Oh no, no worries, @dex :-)

I think most people understand that people will have disagreements about things here and there, perhaps get clarification, and then move on. Each thread is brand new. Hopefully, that’s most of us.

But there are a few who decide there are those they don’t like, period, that’s it. I respect that. There are a few people I don’t like. But...I don’t “fence” with them, for lolz, every time I see their name in a thread. I don’t look for ways to give them a slap just because I like giving them a slap. Life’s too short.

I wish there was something I could do ,or say, to give you some comfort. It must be an awful feeling. I am so sorry

@cherry Cherry, please do not feel sad, celebrate those of us who have been able to leave it behind......

@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.

Dear Stormygirl,

@ @Stormygirl 11-13-'17

Firstly, I was very surprised to read your update reported messages sent to such a caring and nice poster friend. HAPPY!

I, along with several others 'waited for any word' from your close friend

@Moonchilde whenever she notified when an email was even sent, a few words or just to let others know you were going elsewhere.

Secondly, ...."Believe I never missed much".

@I did send word through Moonchilde..also to @Hope2017 for BohemianGal.

~ I sincerely hope she is better than the last, of what some `had` read. recently.~

You certainly surprised me in a big way. Take care and go slowly.

Stay close connected to a caring friend, as much,i.e, being expected; she has been a great source of communication for many to read and understand.

Sending the best of good health your way. And, thank you Moonchilde for what you have been to a fine poster.

Just a special HELLO with a hug for you to be here. I wish you all good reports from this time forward.

NAES

@Stormygirl

@Moonchilde ~ You would have been a WONDEFUL mother. I believe that.

Stormygirl · ‎08-01-2015

I trust no one.

I promise to remind myself every day that I am strong, courageous, and resilient.

Moonchilde · ‎05-23-2010

Oh my goodness, @NAES1, thank you for the compliment, but a mother isn’t something I ever really wanted to be. I was never drawn to babies or toddlers, was the last to pick up a visiting baby for fear it would poo or wee on me, lol.

I knew that my upbringing had affected me negatively, and one thing I felt strongly all my life was that in order to be a good mom you have to have your own **** together, have a good, healthy sense of self-worth, and mostly, especially when they are younger and under your care, it has to be kids first. I also, again due to my childhood and adolescence, never wanted to be married. So that was kind of that, lol.

But especially in my 20s and 30s, I was a popular counselor for friends and co-workers. Even sometimes when I’d be having a conversation with my mother, she’d look at me and say “You’re so wise. How did you get that way?” It used to both surprise and please me. It was a lot because I listened first, spoke later, and almost never told people what I thought they should do, I guess.

Life without Mexican food is no life at all

Stormygirl · ‎08-01-2015

@Moonchilde Hi my friend! Hey are we seperated birth twins or something? You just described me to a T...Wow....Im like speechless now LOL. (and that is rare )
