...at least in my mind...this is how this place works...
It's as if we're all hanging together...around some fire in someone's backyard. There are chairs everywhere, beer or wine, food. We all sit, come and go as needed. There are tears. There is laughter. There is raw. There is outrageous. There is support. In my mind, we all bring what we need. We take what we need and give back. As I sit there, Imdealing will come and ask for advice, or Cantbe, or Natty, or Shewolf, or Blind, Mommy, Mick, or the countless others. We bring our problems and get advice, and support. We don't always get advice we agree with. We listen and take it in and then, we may say, 'that may have worked for you and THANKS but dang, that's not me.' We all sit around that fire and come and go. Lending support and taking support. If you want, the chair is open to you. Give me your advice. I'll always listen. I may not agree with you. I may look you in the face, and lean over, and say, 'Wow, I can't do that.' or...'I hear what you are saying, but I don't agree with you...' At that point, let it go. Let me have my point of view, just as you can have yours. You can let me have my own point in PEACE. There is no need for 'you HAVE to agree with me.' This board needs peace. That is where I am. Anyone else? Let's get back to Peace and lovin' the crap outta eachother. Can't we do some resolve here to take the board back? Back to Peace???? E-fricking-nuff. L~ Posted on 03/28/11, 09:37 am |

Not having peace makes it a dirty place. I've been on other sites where people's personalities clash and it becomes ugly. The focus turns to the individuals and not the topic. After 5 years of participating on that other site (about my hobby), I dropped off. Couldn't deal with the drama. Let's all play nice in the sandbox and follow "L" 's suggestions above. WE are wounded and need to heal. The analogy is like someone coming to a funeral dressed in a loud colored outfit, playing obnoxious music and talking to those around them during the eulogy! Behave or leave!

I'm all for peace. I have learned so much from the people here...and I have been humbled, which is a good thing. I have learned how to voice my opinion in a better way, thanks to honest people here. I would hate to see this group turn into a hostile place. We're all dealing with too much pain and anger at home; this should be a safe place for ALL of us. I'm for peace...I'm holding my lighter up and waving it back and forth. LOL! That just cracked me up because I am as far from a hippie as you can be! Anyway, I agree with L, hey L...give me some wine, will you?

I like your analogy of sitting around the fire. It brought me some peace, memories of my past, my roots. I have a tendency to scan for posts that will aid me in my endeavor to crawl out of the garbage heap my H. created.

I agree, last year when I joined this group there was not the friction that is here now, I still need help dealing with some issues, I was reluctant to post a topic/question today but decided to anyway primarily because I have questions in my head that I need help with, to not feel so alone sitting here in my house trying to deal with the very same issues that brought me here last year. Lstecker, you and a lot of others gave good advice then, I cant name all but my heartfelt thanks.
Betrayal is a hard thing to get over if at all, I still havent gotten anywhere close a peaceful place in my own mind let alone here. Some of you I haven't spoken with or commented to. Blindsided, you are one of the many that gave good thought provoking advice as well. I just need help here as I did before a few months ago, and I am taking special care not to affend anyone by my posting or adding comments.
