TIME TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS GIRLS

I came to see the post to Cy- I don't care who, what, why, when but I for one  AM SO SICK OF ALL OF THIS I COULD JUST SCREAM - I DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT ANY DELETED PICTURES - MAYBE BEING DELETED SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MENTIONED AT ALL.  MAYBE EVERY BODY SHOULD JUST STOP LOOKING FOR SOME HIDDEN MEANING IN SOMEONE'S POST/PICTURES.   THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE DOING.   

Here we are when Cy needs this circle the most and instead of bringing out the very best in us - dang it, it happens over and over - it brings out the worst!!  I'm sure it has given Cy great comfort to come here and see all of this mess, - we should -  all - everyone that says they care - hang our heads in shame.

Puppy, Deb, add me to the "I give up" folks.  

Jasmine, yes, Joanne and Ferne added to the center too.  I think Cy has taken the very center because she was such a part of this circle and so many got to meet her.  That certainly doesn't minimize all the others that are suffering, the list seems to just keep growing.

Susan -- I will stand with you in support of Charlene.  She has been through alot this year and needs support like everyone here.  It is inevitable that with such a wide variety of backgrounds, there will be disagreements along the way.

Wanted to add my thoughts and hopes and prayers for CY, slonedeb, Joanne and Ferne.  I have a list a mile long that i keep in my purse and bring every week to services.  I give it to the Rabbi and he reads their names.  It is read before the prayer called the M'Shibeirach which is the prayer for healing.  Puppy and I were talking on the phone yesterday and we both agree that it doesn't matter whether you worship in a synagogue, church or under a tree, all prayers are form the heart and are said with love and compassion.

Beth -- thanks for including Joanne.  And I agree, prayers from the heart are what matters.  For those of you who don't have time to read other places on the board, Joanne is a mets lady who posted mostly in the Recurrence forum.  She has brain mets and they have just stopped her treatment. 

Here is a link to her blog

Jasmine, thanks.  I wasn't exactly sure who Joanne was.  I normally go to the mets board and read but lately, well, it has just been overwhelming.

ROFL! Neesie -- been there, done that!  Only usually I actually post and then wonder where my post went before I realize its on another page.

Gina, please calm down.  I've already explained myself. 

I was sticking up for a friend.  I didn't say anything bad about anyone.  I told Peter that I was not made at him. 

There are plenty of loving threads on this board.  I am doing my share of praying.  I choose not to do it in the circle. 

I take it I am not allowed to disagree with those who come on here and are overly emotional.  I had no intention of continuing with this conversation until you brought it up again.

This has been a rough few days...
It is time for us to hook up our horses and circle our wagons around some of our dear sisters who need us the most right now.

Robin, Rhymee, Mena, Denise, Marsha, Katz & Sarah, Gwenn, Pennylane, Dianne, Shelliks and all who need some love and care from the sisterhood.

I will take the first watch

To put it in perspective, I see a few names above of those angels who are no longer with us.

Margaret -- walking the perimeter with you.  I'll bring some hot chocolate to keep us warm. 

 This morning I came here and wrote a post from my heart.  To everyone at a time when we so need to support each other. It is with heavy heart that I am QUOTING Gina.

I said it the other night and I will say it again- this thread has lost its focus and its intent. It has been polluted by this petty crap that continues day after day after day. It has been destroyed. Are you happy? Because there is no longer a place to go that is safe- that we can mourn together, be free to be scared and express those fears with each other.... it is gone.

How about everyone just STOPS and takes a breath and looks into the mirror and asks themselves- is it really worth it? Is the pain I am going to cause today worth it?

To have another breakdown of support over something as inane as what you are all arguing about is embarrassing.

Melissa and Tami- this thread needs to be locked or removed completely. As the one who started it I ask that you put an end to it because what is occurring now has destroyed what it was.... and it was beautiful at one time.  And it is a damn shame that there are people so consumed with hatred that they felt it their duty to ruin the most loving thread on this board.

Its with great sadness that I agree. DebC and Puppy - I give up too.

Nicki (aka chemosabi)

A friendship circle is a place were no one gets left out, left behind or hurt in any way.  Is that something we can all agree that we are capable of doing?

That picture reminds me of one of my favorite songs!

Vickie,

You are absolutely right and there are some scripture quoting, angel posting people on this thread that won't even acknowledge or speak to some here.

One can only say hmmmmm since we are not to judge.

This thread should be removed.

Sorry, Jasmine, I don't know how my grandsons ended up in your post. Anyways, there they are. Happy to share their smiling faces with you.

As always, Laura
