ine, PJ, & open invitation to off topic chit chat.

[Guest guest]

You're welcome. And I meant what I said, I'm here for you and anyone

else here as well, if you need someone just to sit and listen or talk

about life other than affirmations, dis-eases, or conditions. There's

more to life than our problems.

My m-i-l, toward her end, was just getting so frustrated because

everything she did throughout the day had to deal with cancer: eating

the right foods, dealing with the side effects and other

complications, to even sitting down - cancer had to be in the

forefront of her mind. She just got to the point where she didn't

want to think about cancer anymore, which is understandable.

And the same goes for depression and bi-polar and every other dis-

ease or condition - for one moment you just don't want to deal with

it. So if you (or anyone else) wants to email me and have off topic

chats about anything I'm open. I have a whole range of interests,

except politics (got to draw the line somewhere), and if you have an

interest I'm not up on, it'll give me a chance to learn something

new. I'll warn you I'm not up on most current TV shows, movies, the

news (I refuse to watch the news, last new release movie I saw

was " Panic Room " , and only have a few TV shows I watch), and I think

I stopped actively listening to the radio around 1994. What can I say

I was on a boat at the time and we didn't get radio, and I haven't

pick it back up. {shrug}

Also ine, I was wondering how did your quest for yarn turn out?

And how about a critter?

> Dear Kassandra, how eloquent you are! Guess that is why you

are the writer! I couldn't have expressed anything more beautiful or

more truthful than what you just wrote here. You made me proud.

Thank you for your kindness, love, and support that you gave ine

here.

Snicker, snicker got you fooled, pj. ;-) I've been told many, many

things about myself, eloquent isn't one of them until now. :-D Thank

you. I just remembered what it was like and thought about what I

wanted people to do for me. I didn't want to hear blathering on about

how I should be happy, count my blessings, blah, blah, blah. I just

wanted someone to hold me and sit by me until the storm passed;

sometimes there's just no need to speak but closeness is what is more

effective. Just trying to do the best I can with what I've got. And

if it actually works, so much the better.

And I have to comend you as well, for putting up with all of us. You

respond to each post, with grace and love and I'm amazed by it. I've

moderated groups in the past and never had I came close to

maintaining the consistency and the support that you alone seem to

do. Each day you still manage to floor me by your posts and your

support of us. (((((((((((( pj )))))))))))))
