i miss the days where everyone was kookie and had a little fun in here...
i may have to start working again, to keep me out of here...lol
you have a point K, i just can't post anymore when those threads start to fray like that, and it surprises me how mean people can be
those days will be back........I hope......

this place has gotten like my fibromyalgia, some of the time its dormant, and some of the time it's in full flare.
i seriously doubt that this board will ever be devoid of conflict...
my motto is people are people

That is how it was when I first started coming here too. As Redd said, those days will be back but until then the nice people can stay on this side of the room and the meanies can go over by the bathroom and hang out.
You are probably right about the conflict thing but people cant fight with themselves.... I mean they can but as witnessed here, they end up looking pretty silly. So, with that said, I just dont play into it and scroll past anything said out of jealousy, bitterness or anomousity. I come here to be helped and to help. I get online feeling good and I get offline feeling good. That is what is important to me. If this place makes people feel bad they may chose not to come which is sad and it could absolutely make the difference in ones recovery success or failure. That concerns me so I ignore the negative and hope newcomers do the same.

no, i seriously think that you are fooling yourself to believe that this place will be conflict free.
there will always be those who think they know more and assert themselves by making innuendos...and there will be those that get hurt and react...
i am just going to keep my mouth shut in those threads and concentrate on the good and helping people find help where it's needed...i don't know the program by rote, i don't have the 12 steps memorized, but i will ask for help with others problems and try to give them what i can contribute

rtrka5@yahoo.com
others have no problem using it......and you know I haven't been here or said anything, I have been doing nothing but trying to avoid....and have been busy until today to even sit and read much......You see my posts I try to never say anything I think will hurt someone, so is it just what I wrote this moning, is it something I missed personally.....write me let me know, just remember I am cutting the cord and won't be back later, unless my son gets up, then I get on his computer
Now I am really confused, but I won't leave either.....maybe just write in private when I see someone who needs something. What a shame that will be....I wrote something really cool about guilt , that should have been posted but I was afaid I would get jumped on and I don't need that no one does......funny I wrote it to one person, and the sent the same email to 3 others, just by what I read on the borad.....Should have posted in the first place.....Kinda takes away fron why we are here.......
Well you have s good one boo, just about ready to end this computers life.......

Boo, i know what you mean about the humor...i use it to diffuse difficult situations myself.
for example:
last night my husband came home from the hospital and we were talking about his mama's condition and he mentioned that his aunt had complimented him on how he had been handling the death of his dad, and the situation with his mom. She mentioned that he was the Head of the family now. He said he didn't know what he had done, other than handle the situation,and i told him that his aunt still sees him in the nephew roll as a younger, and that she was proud of him for stepping up to the plate and acting like an Elder. Then I realized something and came out and said, AAAAhhhhh, that means after you leave, Tyler (the 18 y/o) will be head of the family!!!! Brought a brief moment of levity to the situation.
Tyler is so much like me...he keeps threatening to live with us till he's 43 and keeps telling us..."watch what you say, I will be the one putting you in the old folks home", this isn't facetious, he is just a little kookie like his mom.

Took it wrong and don't play the faith thing with me......I know all about God and forgiveness and the patient heart he has for all of us and the love, we find through him and in him.
I said my peace to who I was actually talking to in the first place.....thats where I should have only directed myself.
anything else email.....thats why I put it there............
