Thank you all for the concern

[StepTo2]

Jal - thank you for checking in with us!!!!!

I understand how things feel right now... Please, lurk, post, whatever. Just let us know from time to time.

HUGS!

From a fellow "lurker more that poster"....Glad to know that you are doing better. I was worried too! I hope you guys are able to continue working things out. Sometimes having things come to a head and blow, opens the door for really good communication. I wish that for both of you.

Jal, thank you for checking back. I'm glad that things have calmed down and that you are able to talk now. I hope you two can get into counseling and keep talking and talking. And talking.

Sooooooo you don't have anyone to talk to huh? Nooobody? No one comes to mind? (looks around, looks up at the ceiling, around the CD board family room) No one that could POooooooosibly -drag that out for dramatic effect understand where you are, how you feel, what goes on with the family dynamic. Yuuuuup.
---Raises hand in obligitory question fashion. WHY then am I on three [puts up last three fingers on left hand] anti depressants? THREE (again said in dramatic tone).

Listen sister - and I mean SISTER, not like SISTA...although you could be a sista, but then I couldn't care less if you were a sista or a (insert angelic sounds) Sister Jal. When you N.E.E.D. someone, we are here. This isn't just like some namby-pamby wishy washy - oh we don't care what happened to her board. Do you know how many people come here, and post and tell their story and then just disappear and the rest of us are like WHATEVER HAPPENED TO, I sure hope the kids are okay - I wish she would check in?

YOU my dear woman, are not - REPEAT NOT...going to be one of those people. Yes life is difficult. Few things worth having are. Yes men can be difficult (sorry Margs man it is what it is not saying that I myself am not a complex and difficult creature just stating my p.o.v as a female) and a bevy of other unthinkable things that makes you just want to shake them until their teeth fall out. ABSOLUTELY no one said when your children were born that they would be like this; otherwise we'd have spent 9 months trying to put them back where they came from or at least give them back to the man in their most basic form - yeah get a visual on that why doncha - talk about birthcontrol.

So....whatever it is that has kept you from US? I'm glad you have not stayed gone, and will continue to check with us for support and guidance and laughter, and wise and sound unbiased (pft) loving, sisterly and brotherly concern.

Lest we come looking for you......mwah ha ha.....

p.s.

From this day forward and for clarification purposes et al -

When sun Sh*^s on you from now henceforth? It will be as it should have been - RAYS of BEAUTIFUL, BASKING, WARM, RADIANT LIGHT....

Not hot, ploppy, scalding streams of doo doo.

Give him a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY from us and enjoy the day yourself. We all need to let it out and explode (from whichever orifice we choose) once in awhile!!!

Thanks for checking in

Star OMG, you are the one to make us all laugh even when it seems like we cannot. G*d bless ur heart. I always read your posts, and they up lift me, but never in my wildest would I think that I would be the receiver of one and I thank you. You made me laugh so I cried. As others have always said you should write a book. PS. I have a lot of connections if you choose to do so!

As we all know Star has her way, but nothing can replace the love and concern that I have felt from all here.

I know a lot of you don't know me, but I have been around for a long, long time. Even changing names when I forgot mine. Thank you all for everything. And I do mean that to each and everyone of you..
