Thank you to WindermereJudy for starting this thread. To Magiroux and my friends on the 10-day holiday cruise for getting me going posting on the boards. To lbgraves for not banning me for having 13 lines of text in my signature. To BIP for teaching me that it's not about the color of a woman's T-**** but the content of her character. To O'BWV for her cordless blender and the promise of frosty drinks to come. To Captain Crash for visual effects. To Captain Jack for not throwing me off the ship for my lime green background to his wonderful T-**** design. To pyramid2000 for her keeping us informed of what was discussed last week. To Lil'Grumpy for helping me get in touch with my feminine side. To darthrugby for providing us something to talk about to keep out post counts up. Oh, I hear the band playing that music now.... So finally, thank you to Walt Disney for having a dream and to Mickey Mouse for opening his ship and taking my money....

What a support group the people on this thread has become over the past few weeks. I thank each of you for your willingness to share your joys and your hurts, and have allowed me to do the same. It feels as though some healing has taken place from the past.

With all that I read before going to bed last night on this thread, I had a dream about my step-dad last night. I must say, for the first time of having dream about him since he passed last April, I didn't wake up in a cold sweat. It was though I said a final good-bye in my dream, and have decided to let the past be, life is way too short, to hold on to the hurts of the past any longer. For this, I thank each and everyone of you who have shared your life's trials and journey. You are an amazing lot, thank you!!!!!!!!!

This is an amazing group of people here.

for all!

All caught up and ready to get this day started. Sorry for not responding to much for you to 'relive' John.

We were home for all of about an hour yesterday! Out the door by 9:30 to get first DD to her GS cookie booth then onto DD8's basketball game. Then time to switch DDs in the cookie booth. came home for about an hour after that til I took them to the movies to see Bridge to.... Very good movie! Of course there was lots of chatter in between keeping me from coming home when picking up/dropping off various kids...

Only one cookie booth for us today and softball clinic!

We did get a start on putting down the floor finally. I do not like the glue together method of this one, but it isn't too bad. DH has actually taken over. We really can't work together on projects as he has the rush, rush mentality and I take my time. But it is mostly done, just have o finish off the closet and the end pieces need to be cut and placed. Guess I will have to start getting the bedroom stuff ready to put in there soon. Joy, joy.

Have a great day!

How about a NYC mini meet?

Mickey&CO

Sounds good to me!

Count me in!

I really think the mini meets are a great idea, but how can we organize it? Anyone have any ideas? Any volunteers?

I'm in!

Me too!!!

I know my DW could sympathize with many on here. Without too many details, because it's not my place, but her father (with stepmother involvement) disowned her at the age of 16 simply because she wanted to maintain a relationship with her mother (a us or her type ultimatum). He's never talked to her since. We've seen him at family funerals, but don't talk. I've thought to myself about just blurting out in passing, "Well...see you at the next funeral." What's sad is that she has a stepsister about 8 years younger, and they were extremely close because they only had each other growing up. She was forbidden from seeing her stepsister. We had to sneak into her SS's HS graduation. We did get to visit her SS once while she was in college and she was in our wedding. The kicker was that a couple years ago, her stepsister got married out west. My DW had to go, and her SS wanted her to come, but her SS couldn't lie to her mother, so my DW's stepmother knew she was coming and had a "wedding crasher" alert out and had some of her family make sure my DW stayed out. It was an outdoor wedding, so she could admire from a distance, but I know she was extremely hurt. Last I heard, my DW's "biological" father and "his wife" lived in the Florida in the vicinity of the recent Tornado's.

for your DW Joel.

Good Morning Everyone!

I have learned over time that the Norm is to have dysfunction in the family. I manage to let go of my anger and get past most of my abuse. It make a long story short when my father told me his father held him by one arm out over the railing in a forest fire watch tower and threatened to drop him when he was just five everything he did to me fell into place. I realized the battle he must have fought aas a child and as an adult began to understand that he did his best.

He has mellowed over time and I can stay with him for about one week before I begin to revert to childhood mode. I understand and support those who have choosen to distance themself from family that are toxic. My father did the same with his family. His parents has since past but he doesn't even know where his sister is.

For me I still struggle to believe I am a worthwhile person. I was told that I was selfish, self-centered, fat and that no one would love me. I was told this so often that I believed it. I developed an eating disorder and refused to wear anything that looked good on me. Even though I was only about 10 to 15 lbs over weight I felt like I was 100lbs over weight. I allowed myself to be used as that was the only way I felt I could have friends. I'm 52 years old and still struggle with body image (now I'm at least 30 lbs overweight). I struggle with standing up for myself cause I sure don't want to make anyone in my life mad so that they willleave me. However that only makes it worse cause them the feeling surface later on and I can't control them. It is a daily process of recovery. One I wish both my parents had been able to reach.

However, through my recovery I see that what my parents did was what they thought would make me do better. They thought they were doing the right thing because they didn't have any better role models. I tried to do better with my kids and I hope they do better with theirs. This is just my story. I'm sure some of you can relate. Thanks for letting me share, Lois

Lois
Thanks for sharing your story. You touch on so many points that I'm sure many of us can relate to. I know that I can!

Congratulations. Owning our own business has been so rewarding. Much hard work, but I really love it.

We'll both be keeping our regular day jobs and he'll open on the weekends. We both have health issues and can't afford to be without insurance. Kev's salary pretty much pays for everything,as I only bring home about $800 a month as a lunch lady at school...even less in the summer months.

OK, I need to step away from the computer.

They are calling for snow. So I need to be off to the market to stock up on bread, eggs and milk. It's not even that I like French Toast.

I belong to several other message boards in cyberworld. I have never witnessed such openess and intimacy as with this group. I have been very blessed to have had a healthy and happy childhood. While my Dad has been gone for many years, I share a very close relationship with my Mom, Sister and Brother. My marriage on the other hand.... It's taken me a number of years and a really good therapist to over come the damage that one person can do to another. I understand the impact that another person can have on your body, mind and soul. To you who are on the journey to find peace, resolution or acceptance, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Please do not give up. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Catch up with you later.

Survived the banquet. Our pack is way too big. 80 kids. It got that way because we are the best pack in the area - most organized, best trips, etc., but we are on the verge of needing to split into 2 packs. The sheer #s are insane. We have 20 Tigers! I've been Tiger leader for 2 years (DSs are only a year apart school-wise) & DH is Committee Chair.

This month's theme is Aloha Cub Scouts, so B&G was Hawaiian. We have a centerpiece competition every year - here was our entry.

We made 2, totally edible - just like Food Network Challenge! It doesn't show up well in the photos, but our jello ocean actually had waves. DS8's Wolf den made a great volcano & another den had 10ft. palm trees at each end of their table (cadboard tubes etc). This is why our pack is so big! I swear the parents have more fun than the kids sometimes.

And yes, I am having a lovely Syrah.

Wow and I thought our Pack was huge....we have about 17 Tigers and then about 12 of each going up. woves, bears etc etc. Our theme is Carnival.....any ideas for centerpieces????

Carnival as in "amusement" or "mardi gras"?

Good morning

No, I think the "You like me. You really like me." is the missing piece.

And I must thank my agent without whom anything is possible.

I thought that would be over the top. But I never can tell.
