    Hi 38 Years,

    I'm just a few years older than you, so I could easily identify with some of the history you covered. I admire you for the self-confidence and determination you've displayed: I know that you may feel that you weren't very "heroic," but compared to the average Dub, I think you were. You knew what was required, you knew what was opinion, and you knew how to tell the difference. that is a lot more than many are capable of. I was years behind you in that regard.

    So congratulations for your successes, and consolation for the aches and pains you've earned along the way. I hope you continue to have faith that your sister, being YOUR SISTER, will eventually have her own awakening, and you will be there to help her. One thing that might be helpful is to watch a movie with her - rent a copy of TICKET TO HEAVEN and let her see if there aren't similarities between the Dubs and the Moonies upon whom the story is based.

    Hope it wont be long before your Mum & Sis sees the real TRUTH soon

    38, I too came into the borg about the same time as you. I was an elder's wife for 20 years and the repetitious weekly grind just wore me down too.

    Good post! We await many more of them as you get acquainted here and feel comfortable to share more.

    Welcome to the forum!
