    Everyone,  I can't do this anymore, you guys have me balling my eyes out again and enough is enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok, I am the one that sent the e-mail of Gina's that created such a mess. Each time there has been problems here I have cried more tears - probably lots of the problem that I am dealing with health wise at the moment.  

    How can anyone say that things have been fine here and some were trying to forgive and move on when,if some people came to post they were ignored or their post buried quickly and the topic moved on; or the fact that folks that weren't supposed to be here came back many times and those post ended up getting deleted and you never heard from that person again. That happened over and over and over. All in the name of defending. That defending only made others feel they had to defend and it became a vicious cycle - it should never have started.  So many people have gotten hurt, sides have been chosen, a line in the sand had been drawn.    If you got frustrated and said anything - oh, heaven forbid someone was picking on someone again.   Often the only time a post by certain members were mentioned was if they found something offensive in them.   This has been going on since early November.

    Trying to fix something - depends on who was doing the posting.  I fully realize you don't have to like everyone here but neither is it very nice to ignore and bury stuff just because you don't like someone  That just isn't true.  Guess it depends on which set of glasses we have on.

    I'm tired of pretending all is OK.   Now take your guns out and aim and rapid fire - we're really good at that lately.

    Girls, girls...please!!!  Just because you have a fight does that mean it time to throw out the baby with the bathwater?!!!  Have any of you had sisters?!! Come on..it is OK to disagree. It is even OK to have a fight.

    I haven't been here for each blow by blow episode of the WC Starwars, but I've seen some of it...and I think as a newbie, I paid my dues to all of you. I think if I can forgive, so can you. This does not mean that justice has been served..it means that it is time to rebuild a positive foundation.

    If any of you has a gripe that you feel hasn't been fully met, why don't you just decide to talk and hash it out over the phone, or in a PM...arguments can be productive.  In fact, in a pamphlett I saw on domestic violence, walking OUT of an argument can be considered abuse.  Try to listen to each other, but don't come in here and dump on everybody like it's some kind of trash heap...it's NOT!!!!

    Sometimes you need to argue to get at the truth.  Sometimes you need to listen.  But this doesn't mean you don't need each other.

    Life is short, make the best of it.

    I would just like to add that to those that want to end the Circle..do you really think this will make all the problems go away?  The problems are with the people...we need ways of resolving conflict...

    Well as always I do not know what is happening. I just wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone, I tried to read back a few pages and can't figure out what went wrong. Trouthfully I think I will take a break for a while. I was on a cruise last week and had a great time. I came home and found out my friend who lost her son last month commited suicide.Life is too short...let it go.

    Joyce, I am so very sorry.  I just got around to reading your post.  I got home late from work anyway and had to help Eric with homework still.  Please, call me if I can do anything, you know I really mean it.  We can go meet for coffee again too, my treat.  I still remember the day we all met at Starbucks and had a great time talking about darn near everything.  BTW, Marge had said to me the other day to say hi to you.  She wants to get together again with you too.

    Please sned our prayers to your friends' family and especially her daughter.  Hope all is well at your home.  We have been out of touch too long, kiddo.  I don't want that to happen again.

    Love and loads of hugs to you, your dh and all your wonderful boys!

    Joyce -

    I will keep you inmy thoughts and prayers.

    I am going to be at a ski meet for the next 4 days.  Not sure if I will have computer access or not, so if you don't see me, I am just outside in the snow, yelling GO SKYVIEW at the top of my lungs.  Keep the fires burning ladies.

    I just posted this on another thread in Moving Beyond.  Hope you don't mind me doing a copy and paste!

    finally got through to Mena!  YEAH!!  We have been playing phone tag for days!  She is very unhappy with her home situation and I was hurting for her.  But we are trying to come up with a plan that will be a better way of life, like move somewhere one or a group of us to help her with love and support in person!

    If you have her email, please send her a little note.

    BTW, her birthday is coming up on the 14th!  I will start a thread the day before and please post.  When she comes to visit next weekend, I am going to give her a special present with a printout in scrapbook fashion of your posts!  I also still have the photos from some of you and the presents that will be included.  I will of course take a picture of the whole thing and post it too.
