Ah please don't go friend.Things are getting back to normal now.It really is a wonderful site and we love and care about you marilyn

everyone has their own opinions but the fact that we can rise to the occasion and admit our wrong doing is the beginning to resolve the problems...
Everything will get better... it will take time as everything else does ...
The best things in life are the things we have to fight for..
It all starts with the word respect....
We are all human and bound to make mistakes....
Most of us are women and you know how we are LOL
Love you all !
We are all very sorry im sure and its not very hard to say "Im sorry"
If we can make one person smile a day we have done something~
I am glad that aspire sat up all night making sure that dixie was on the right track..
I did that one time along with a couple others on this site and it wasnt easy as we feel helpless behind the screen ...
This site does nothing to help ?
How can you say that ?
I think it speaks for itself...
there are people alive today because of this site....
because of human mistake we want to toss in the towel?
No we should continue to fight and love each other no matter what..
We know how much we hurt from this disease, we have that in common....
We dont know how each other live from day to day, We just may be bashing someone who couldnt feed their kids that night or someone who got beat by their husband...
think about it ?
utmost respect to you all !
If I can do anything to better the day, I have done my job...

NO,NO,NO, WE DON'T INVITE THEM TO LEAVE, WE ASK THEM TO STAY AND SEE WHAT THEY NEED. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE HAVE EVER DONE, TELL THEM IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT HERE, MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO ON TO SOMEWHERE ELST, WE'VE NEVER DOE THAT BEFORE AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO START IT NOW. I'M ASKING BOTH OF YOU LADIES TO STAY PLEASE. I'M SORRY THAT YOU CAN'T GET ON THE BOARD NOW B/C THERE IS SO MUCH PAIN.PLEASE STAY, I NEED YOU ....LOVE...HELEN

Please stay there is a ying and yang everywhere in this world..This war is over I promise and if it isnt Ill leave with you.....Peace to you ...........

I have been here a while. However, I am not sure what happened because of my own personal situations I had to step away from DS. I was surprised to see where things had gotten to. But I knew these ladies well enough to know that they would work it out. Do I think it could send the wrong message to the newcomers? Yes. But it is now who they are or who we are. Deep down inside I think we all have the best of intentions. We all are strong and independent fighters. We fight to move. We fight to deal with the pain. We fight to keep going everyday. We fight in everything we do. We all just have our own breaking points about things. I just knew to know associate myself with things that we going on. And I am 100% behind jessiepalooza. We all have to learn about total respect for all. We have to keep in mind what others go through everyday. We don't know all of the things that everyone is going through. I also want to add a few of my own thoughts, to give a different perspective. How can we know when the words we type are meant in sarcasm or playful or mean or loving?? Some maybe obvious but not always. Sometimes words are read wrong. Sometimes intentions are misunderstood. Sometimes just seeing typed words without hearing the tone in the other person's voice or watching their body language can throw off the direction the words were intended to go. It is a concious thing to step back and read what they say and try to think of reasons why they typed the words they did. Are they hurting alot today? Are they having a really bad day in general? You know the funny thing is that most of these situations can be handled by just asking for clarification. It does take some pride swallowing but it can be so helpful in the end. Because it helps for us learn what the person meant by their words and maybe they will say "oh i didn't mean for it to sound like that. So and So happened today and I guess my emotions came out in what i was typing." I always make sure I know what is going on if something I read rubs me the wrong way. Have I ever gotten upset all of the sudden over something someone said? Absolutely, however, I knew it had nothing to do with what they said. It was me dealing with my own problems in my life and reaching my breaking point where I was overly emotional and overly sensitive to what other people were saying and doing. Nobody's fault but my own.

Please stay. We all have our good days and bad days. We all have our times of misunderstandings with each other. But on the whole, this site is amazing. It has helped so many through so many deterimental times. I know in the end it is your choice whether you stay or go. However, if i can please persuade you to just sit back and watch how things are gonna move on and the past stays in the past. Then I think you will see how wonderful these ladies can really shine. We are a FMily here. And families do fight with each other from time to time. But now that that is over. It is time to move on. But we are all hear for you. We want to help in anyway we can to make your day a little easier to tolerate and get through. We are hear to listen to you yell, scream , cry, laugh, rejoice etc. whether it is about FM or not. But I think we all need to realize something. How can we be a strong dependable family if we continue to tear each other apart? Just let it go. We are forgetting what our focus is. To help others. To love others. To show everyone that they are not alone in their suffering. We are here to listen to love to support to encourage whenever you need. That goes for newcomers and the ones who have been here since day 1. All you have to do is reach out...we are here. We love you. You are such an important part of this FMily. We need you. We need your wisdom, your love, your strength, your shoulder..all of you. Please stay. I beg of you. And if you do decide to leave, where will you go? Where will you get the support you need? Are you involved in some FM support groups in real life? Are you on other websites? I just want to make sure that no matter what happens that you have a good support team around you to help you. This disease is terrible. And I want to know that there are people there to help you when you are at your worst. If not, then please allow us to be those people you can count on. Sorry this is so long. I love you all. If you need me for ANYTHING, just holler!

Also a very sarcastic one too - but I will leave it at that. And you know who you are *Wink* thanks again. I think some may be getting me confused with someone else... named SIS or something??
