oooh-er i came over all american-ified there for a minute........ .
sometimes online, someone, or some people come across as just thoroughly "decent chaps" (thats more british) they are rare types.
i've been here just over a year and have posted some funny old stuff, sometimes when i'm angry, sometimes when i'm sad, other times when i feel critical about this forum, and sometimes some crap (as i'm sure some will remind me of) sometimes when i felt alone or worried, and lastly sometimes (coz i'm running out of sometimes) because i'm not sure where i'm headed.. throughout chris and nina, when i look back at past posts, have been kind and patient with me, particularly when i started being more honest with myself and the forum.

"good mornning.
we're bible students(tm) interested in world affairs and we see the mess california is in now.
we also see the mess that president bush is in with iraq.
Farkel - you have been missed!
scenario: you meet a person and like this person.
all of your friends tell you to beware of the person.
do you ignore their warnings and give your all to the friendship or are you more cautious than you would have been otherwise?.
Sp - believe them (believe me)
it's too long a story.
you'll all laugh anyway.
sometimes it's all just too much for me.. i wish i had my mother and daughters here....
(((Berylblue))) - its okay. We are all human, we all make mistakes, we all do "stupid stuff" sometimes.
We're here for you too dear, as much as you are here for everyone else.

(((Stinky))) I like you, although I've never met you - but I can't wait till that happens!!!!
Of course I value my friends input as to others, or else they wouldn't be my friends. I know they're just "watching my back" and if they have valid reasons for their opinions, then of course it holds water. If its a matter of their own imperfections (i.e. jealousy or something) then I give that less weight.
It all depends on your definition of "friendship" in my eyes. If you're just taking info from someone you really haven't gotten a chance to personally know, but who you sort of like on the boards - that's totally wrong. There are a few "whacko's" amongst our midst that wish nothing more than to cause dissension & empower themselves somehow at the ability to tear down others.
Probably didn't make sense what I said, and I'll admit to being a "whacko" (although I have NO evil intentions).

Well Walter - its on you Canadian Overbeer - find us a good one & lets get this puppy rolling so I can make my reservation!!!
Late June is best, or any week in August.

P.S. Can we make the camping ground one that has at least a lake or swimming pool & playground for the kiddies? If we plan early enough, we may even be able to get one that comes with cabins for those that don't like camping!!!!
Okay, how come I'm more excited about this than any of you all???????

Well, November sounds fantastic for me - count me in!!!! And a camping Apostofest sounds terrific for next summer - please make it in either June or August, as July is a bad month for us as we will be getting married then, and taking our "honeymoon" (not really a honeymoon, but the regular family vacation).
I truly am quite excited about meeting you all - so ya BETTER be there!!! And I know Azzy will be with me!

even though i meant it, i still feel ashamed, guilty, and afraid.".
"this common reaction to new, exciting recovery behaviors.
anything to do with owning our power and taking care of ourselves can trigger feelings of shame, guilt, and fear.
The after-burn is what we allowed to control us all our life---shame and guilt.
Aint that the truth!!!! But recovery - that takes years of after shave lotion!
