OK, I've got a short time to do this in, so hope that I can type as fast as my thoughts...
First of all, Bobbie, I am very, VERY sorry that I did anything to upset you & make you cry! Please forgive me?
I'm sorry to the rest of you, too, for getting upset! I was trying to leave the thread without making a big too doo, & I didn't want to give Christians another "black eye", but I guess I really blew that! It just really stressed me to read whatever others wanted to write about, but then something that I am a part of & that's extremely important to me gets trashed. I kept silent for some time & just couldn't handle it anymore. Too sensitive, I guess! Wouldn't be a caregiver if I weren't! WAY too stressed, I know! This too shall pass!
Bottom line is, I don't want to abandon ship & don't want to walk the plank either! LOL Can we PLEASE go back to being there for each other & supporting & encouraging each other??? I NEED you guys!!! I can't do this alone!!!
I'm a rowin' bobbie!! GP, you really are a peach. :)) My hair lady once told me that of course I was sensitive. Otherwise I wouldn't be taking care of my mom. Maybe that's all in us. Sensitivity. K...gotta get ready for work and eat some lunch. Caregiver came early. They got mixed up but hey, now she can make Mom's lunch. :) Gave me time to get on here too.
Maxine here Castoff you will find as a christian you will be questioned as never before people think when you are a christian nothing bad should happen to you which is wrong we have plenty of strife in our lives we just have someone to give us strength and refuge in times of trouble Georgia Amen to peace we are all on the same page Bobbie I have a Maxine calander so each day I get a chance at least once a day to LOL Nik at least had a good relationship with his Dad -my Dad was so distant I did not even want him to walk me down the isle many years ago when I started going to my church I could now say heavenly Father because I did not have a good earthly father but our pastor did address that and many people are like me, He has good memories to think about in the comming years-I am so proud of my son he is such a good Dad and he did not have a father who he could look up to or any grandfathers to set a good example he is strict when he needs to be raising a daughter these days is not for the faint hearted-well break is over back to work-another hot one today and tomarrow then Earl comes along -keep safe everyone.
Thar she is! Dude: we never even gave away your room!! It's just like you left it! so's Castoffthelines. room's right there.
Miss Georgia: you all are actually SAFE here. People will vent and there will be a give and take... but let me tell you: you call out for help and WE ARE THERE!! And I like it when people pray for me. It's warm and fuzzy. I don't like it when they toss it out there for the heck of it... like you don't like I love you on the first date!!
Personally? I believe in God and I like the way Linda always signs her posts xoxoxox.
OK: Where's Tennessee?, Pirate! Man you are going through it...
Angie, JoJo, Rip the Stitch, Maxine, Jsome!! everybody has a room on this boat
Deefer!! Miz!! Flex!! Rossella! Pamela and KB, everybody has a room on this boat. if i have the early onset and didn't mention your name: You Have A Room On This Boat
It is a no win. If you say you disagree they are pissed, if you say live and let live they say, "I don't need anyone's permission to pray." What the hell ever.
jsomebody , thanks u have started it all . when i see somebody wearing all black and begin a gothic spooky looking , i just smile at them . admiring how they dare to dress all black , black lipstick black eye liner all black i mean .. i dont judge them at all ! that is the way they want to be . who s religoiuse whatever jevhowitness , catholic , u name it . ok fine happy for them . they can pray all they want ! u knew there is alot of us that says god bless u and i be praying for you . you knew it and damn well had to go start it all up on ur new thread . and causes alot of heart aches . now thanks to u ! alot of us are sick to our stummy cuz the devil has stir up alot of emotions here , alot of heartbreakin and now bobbie s crying ! now do u see what u have done here . u have done enuff damages here and i say thats the devils work and that is how he wants it done , to causes alot of heart aches and alot of damn f tears ! we respect u in the first place and said we understand where ure comin from , but u just had to go on and on and on about it , so what ever jsomebody . why do u keep comin back for more , u know damn well we all will continue to pray for u , if u dont like us all cuz we re in believin the lord why do u keep coming back ? i dontunderstand it . we ladies has been on this thread wayover past year and then u pop up and started some heartaches shit and now few of us is wanting to leave cuz of u . so whatever . i aint leavin my boatmates here . those ladies are my angels ! love em all . ur best bet is to stay on ur thread and stir up someone eles emtionals , stay out of ours cuz it hurts too much ...
hang on bobbie ! its windy in indiana ! i can only imagin how that wind feels where ure at . hang on bobbieeeeeeeeeee ... xoxoxo
I don't believe in the devil. I am sorry you are in pain. I never wear black, but if that is how you see me because I do not believe what you believe so be it.
i didnt say u wear black , i was giving u the samples , u know what im done talking to u . i will not see your name anymore . gonna blindside it . to me youre trouble and i want no part of it . THE END ...
I agree with lhardbeck. I was new to this site and you had an established pattern of connection. My views are not welcome here and I will stop posting here. I hope you all will understand. It is best for everyone. Why add more trouble to lives already full of hassle, especially somewhere where people hoped to find solace and understanding. I have never been into religion, that will not change. but this is not the place for those views. I am grateful for all the support I have been given whom ever it came from. Thank You.
I was hearing a little song in my head singing: "& the BOAT goes on & on & ON ... & the BOAT goes on". I wish Cher was singing it with us!
I understood Jsome was saying live & lets live. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. I've witnessed way too much trauma & abuse of others during my lifetime ... Stories I don't share b/c of the nightmarish memories. Blood, stench & tears ... odor of gunpowder after a shootout ... the cries of pain, victims dying & loved ones clining to them. Lots of yellow crime tape ... I've handed teddy bears to several small kids who saw too much. Enough said.
"Love keeps a ponding a rythm in by brain ... & the Boat goes on & on & ON!"
i don't have a ride!!! it's far away but they will be back this sat. close by.

"Do you have the cat here?" "No. The cat is close by." --Catface the Movie
I have been spending a lot of time making calls and preparing the house in NJ for a Cat1,2 Hurricane. speaking of Cats. Cat 3+ would be devastating to that neighborhood.
Thanks for your patience Rip. I did find out that the color is Awlgrip either dark green or forest Green.
I have both colors, depending on the manufacturer. Avery or Arlon.
I'll look into Venice. I'd still love to swoop the first R down under & back into the cross piece of the last A . Pulls it together. Photos? My computer with my best fonts is still at the shop. His kid totaled his car so the tech can't deliver. i can't leave home long enough to drive into Seattle to grab it. Has my best design program on it too. Bummer.
I can always set you up with standard numbers in black.
I keep envisioning Tennssee hanging out on a bouy with her International Orang e hair! Would the Coast Guard love that? Maybe waving a CareGiver Anonymous burpie (flag). Maybe someday.
It is cold & raining hard in Seattle. Cats think it's winter & won't leave our laps.
Sir says "Hello!" to everyone! He also say "Lighten up!". At 91 he has little patience for bickering ....
Rip, I'd take your weather right now, over this 90+ heat and humidity! Has anyone ever received flowers that they didn't know who they came from? UPS just dropped off a gorgeous bouquet from ProFlowers.com. There was no message on the card and the company won't tell me who sent them. I sure hope they are from some sexy studd who's been admiring me from afar! of course my husband my not like that. Oh well, I can dream can't I?
We can always dream My nephew's girlfriend has been teasing me I said I have hearing from guys from high school from other classes om classmates .com that I did not know even knew me she said maybe I was hot in high school in 59 no one was hot unless it was summer with our felt shirts down to our ankles and our sadle shoes=the good old days
OH MY!! I'd love to take credit, but it wasn't me ... I'd pick you a bouquet from my garden if there is anything left after this stupid cold weather squall.
Sorry you guys are feelin the heat! At least we can throw blankets over us here, & the cats have warm laps. Even my little ACs don't help much when it goes over 9- here. Just so Sir & the pets are OK. Y'all know I'm trying to send this cool system your direction!
Where did the flowers come from??? I love a mystery!
Sexy stud? Send one my way! I fell asleep watching Mad Men last night.
Did anyone see John Hamm in the Lifetime show "The Division"? with Nancy McKeon set in San Francsico? Nice guy!
It was pretty good at 3 AM when my body refused to sleep. So was Everybody Loves Raymond, Frasier & Malcolm in the Middle. Humor & cops shows. Dad enjoys them now.
There is still a sailor missing: Tennessee! WE WANT YOU BACK! I read all the posts of today (starting from the one where Bobbie said she was very sorry about what happened), and I say: Shall we take a deep breath and forget all of this, and focus on the fact that we are here to help each other? Tennessee? Please! This site would not be the same without you. I want you and daughter in Italy. If we are no more in touch, how can we make agreements on where to meet? C'mon!
Well I got a damn speeding ticket on my way home from work. My first one in my life!! $75.00 that I don't have. You know how many hours I work for that much money? Good thing I was wearing my seat belt. (I always do unless my nails are wet.) cause that would have been another ticket. Day was goin' pretty good too. Until then. Oh well. It could be worse or better. I could have asked him to throw me in the slammer. Then I'd get a break. ;)
I haven't read your posts yet, but I am desperately seeking advice. My mom is having a halucination that sand is coming out the shower stall and bubbling and gurgling and she will not believe me that it isn't real. She is insisting I call a plumber, a cost I can't afford. She swears I am playing a game on her why I keep saying it isn't there. She is crying and yelling at me and I have no idea what to do. This has been going on for two days! Help!

Have I missed something?
It's been a tough thread to follow lately.
Does anyone know if posts have been deleted? Browsing thru I found some things didn't make sense.
