When people vent about their soon to be ex- spouse...

Just remember there are two sides to every story. I will not defend myself cause it isnt about that.... but, who I am has been.... hmmm brought into question....

so, again remember there are two people in every marriage and each chooses to remember what is best for them.

ps: he has visitation.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Good morning, friends!

I am meeting the trainer today - last free session. Still haven't decided if I'm signing up for a (very) small package. I'd LOVE to, but the money...

I'm hoping to have a better day today! My daughter is singing "it's A Small World" and it made me think of all of you...

"It's a world of laughter, a world of tears, it's a world of hopes and a world of fears, there's so much that we share that it's time we're aware, it's a small world after all!"

Well, that's certainly true of us! And now you will have it stuck in your head ALL day.

Sorry...I read your edited comment but that doesn't fly with me. You posted on a public forum, so if we choose to respond, we will respond. You had no need to post here in the first place....you opened yourself up for a response. In fact, you are looking for responses otherwise you never would have posted here. That much is transparent.

Yes, I believe that there are two sides to everything. No doubt about that. But one thing people learn about me--and very quickly--is that I am fiercely loyal to my friends. I don't tolerate it when others treat them poorly or act inappropriately.

So I will very honestly say that--even though your side may have valid points--I don't care to hear what your side is. It doesn't matter to me. Dan came here for support and friendship. And he found it. And we will continue to befriend and support him in every way we can.

And for the record...he has shown a great deal of character in NOT maligning you publicly on these boards. Your post was unnecessary, but now we can see some things for ourselves.

Well said!!!! We are nothing if not loyal to our fellow body boarders...

Um... thanks for putting that in my head (I think...) At least I am thinking Disney now....

Thank you for defending Dan.

I am sorry to you all that our circle of friendship was invaded but unfortunatley...some people believe that instead of finding their own support group and foccusing on their own lives...the betterment of it and the sanctuary of confidances...they find satisfaction in being a "party crasher" and trying to destroy the bond and enjoyment of others.

We all have told our side of our lives...because that is the only perspective we have.

I am gratefull for you all and I am glad you have trusted me with your friendships and lives. I will always be a better person because of you.

We (Dan and I)...never mentioned his ex's name because she was a poster of a different thread...

in fact I started this thread on purpose versus going to that thread because of her connections...
and we respected her enough to not want her to feel violated or infringed upon. I only wish she would have had the same tact.

I know her post made all of us feel a little uncomfortable at the very least...and I hope that she is a woman of her word and does not continue this correspondence...

I thought about not even responding to this...but again...it was forced upon us...and as such..would not be fair to at least acknowledge this..so we can all move on. I did not want the perverbial "elephant" standing in the room and pretend it was not there. You are our family.

 

[HockeyKat]

I had my eyes completely opened by all of this. Wow. I am not sure I am going to comment, yet. Let me think about it a while.

Liz, hope you are having a better day.

Erika, I am glad you are on my side!

I am having a bad day. I hate my job. I hate my life. I would look forward to Sunday but I am sure that is going to wind up messing something up somewhere.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

I'm game if you are.

Right now I'm looking for songs for a lipsync constest for 4-H.

I need:

A. An anthem. A song that everyone responds to. A song everyone loves. Cause if we don't have the crowd we have nothing.

B. A clean song. This is for public consumption.

C. A song we can work out a skit or dance to.



The kids get to vote tonight. 4-H advisor asked me to burn 3 songs.
Here's what I've got.

CD #1:
Joan Jett - I Love Rock N Roll
Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive (advisors pick)
Taylor Dane - Supermodel (This is my favorite. The girls and guys ((dressed as girls)) could catwalk. Think the crowd would enjoy.)

CD #2: (alternate, not requested, but couldn't help myself)
Bee Gees - Stayin Alive
Offspring - Pretty Fly For a White Guy


I'd like just one more, but my brian is done. I even went to bill board and looked up the top 5 songs from the last 25 years.

If you guys think of something before 3, post it.

We wanted so bad to do Aerosmith/RunDMC Walk this Way, but we decided singing about "kitty in the middle" and "down on a muffin" probaby wasn't the best idea. Love me some Steven Tyler. (so does dd12. )

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

I am having a bad day. I hate my job. I hate my life. I would look forward to Sunday but I am sure that is going to wind up messing something up somewhere.

Kat - sorry you're having a bad day.

Breath In. Breath Out.

Wax On. Wax Off.

BONZI!!!!!

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Kat, honey, I am so sorry you are having my last two days. I'll take 'em back okay? It will turn out okay, I swear to you, even though it sucks now. And Sunday will be good.

Liz, I will get back to you on those songs!

Paula, awaiting your pics!

Dawn, this is not going to make me stop spilling my life. No worries there. We know who we are and where we stand.

Dan's ex has a right to her opinion. Honestly, I had to read it five times before I realized she meant Dan! I have read every page of this thread and I still know less about that marriage than I do about Liz's hog pen. To me, Dan has kept that out of here, which is his choice.

I agree with my esteemed colleague from ME, Erika. I'd like to add that I have a firm policy on people who hide under bridges and throw out dire things all while saying "Don't look at me!" If they act like trolls, I treat them like trolls, and we all know the first rule of message boards is "Don't Feed The Trolls".

I hope in all of our individual, personal disputes, each side finds peace. That's all anyone really wants at the end of the day. And to get to goal weight!

I am having a bad day. I hate my job. I hate my life. I would look forward to Sunday but I am sure that is going to wind up messing something up somewhere.

I am so sorry! Things WILL improve. Just remember...you are SMOKIN' HOT! You couldn't say that 6 months ago, but today...yee-oow! I think Sunday will be what it should be...good or bad or indifferent...it will give you some answers and directions. We love that you are here even if your life is crappy at the moment.

Right now I'm looking for songs for a lipsync constest for 4-H.

SG is the music goddess and the Queen of Mix...she will come through, I am sure! I will think about it, but SG has me beat on this one.

You are WAY better than I am for your discretion. I don't have that gene either...

Ditto! Show me the GOOF!

Thank God for that! What would I do with my daily Liz updates???? And as for the comparison to the hog pen...HI LAR IOUS!


I hope in all of our individual, personal disputes, each side finds peace. That's all anyone really wants at the end of the day. And to get to goal weight!

Yeah, yeah, peace love and all that crap...and a well-placed hockey stick!

Ok...on to the really important stuff....SHOPPING! Ok, the truth is...I love shopping. That is, I USED to love shopping...until I gained weight and looked square (as wide as I am tall). Then I entered schlub mode. And shopping has been for necessity only.

So today it is beautiful here...70 degrees! Just gorgeous! And of course, I have nothing that fits or looks good (since I am a running goddess and all ), so I made an impromptu trip to Kohl's. And here is what I have to say:

I LIKE HOW I LOOK!!!!!

Yes, you heard it here first! I look freakin' fabulous! I tried all size 6s and smalls. And I got two super cute outfits...things I would have NEVER worn before. Outfits that make me look like one of the "well turned out" moms (Kim, that phrase was just so perfect...that is exactly how I feel they always look...Goof said it well also with the perfectly coiffed comment.)

Now don't get me wrong...like Kat, I am very much my own person and have no desire to be a ballet-mom-bot. But I do like to look nice. And the outfits I got are really sporty and athletic (definitely my style...always has been), but also just very put together. I am BEAMING.

And guess what...the scale STILL didn't budge! Yes, I am a samer once again, but I really don't care because I am happy with my appearance today. Now, I am not done...I would still like to take off 13 more pounds...but I am NOT going to complain about my body, my size, or the scale again. So there!

Back to shopping, though....it has been so long since I have enjoyed it, that I am completely out of the loop. I need Liz and Liz to come shopping with me and teach me about brands and designers and SHOES and stuff!

Love you guys!

Of course we will respect your decision on this, Dan, but please...don't feel that you have to go. This is your forum as much as it is anyone's and it will not be the same without you.

Totally not necessary, but you know what's best for you.

What am I gonna do without my random shot of testerone to remind me there are good ones out there.

True That!




SG is the music goddess and the Queen of Mix...she will come through, I am sure! I will think about it, but SG has me beat on this one.

Oh really. SG - Can you mix a couple of songs together? Like a medely? That way I can use the best parts, even if the others are not "acceptable." It's too late for this year, but for next...I can use alittle this and a little that.

Things are much better now. I have calmed down, work is right now lying dormant, and I got the apology I deserved. I had a nice, hour long conversation, about this upcoming weekend, and I am feeling really good about it.

YAYAYAY! on the shopping experience! I am glad that you can see how good we already knew you looked.

It's funny, I was thinking that I am going to hit Kohl's on my way home.... I am hoping to get out of here on the early side, hit the gym, and then head to Kohl's. I may even model and take pics later, what the hey. I still owe you all an Erika-esque gym shorts pic. I am also planning to dye my hair tonight.
