Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Way to go Donna! Wish more were like you, me included! -Carol hello This is a nice idea. Good job rds. I quit posting on the ada-dce listserve because of 'big brother' posts. Its really annoyed me that whoever was taking it upon themselves to monitor the list notified the ncdbe (org for cdes) we were talking in general terms about the cde exam. So, a nonADA org posted a 'do not discuss' note. Made me sick. Just after that ada posted one about 'do not discuss' salaries. Yuk again. Some RD must have been a great 'hall monitor' as a kid, and is still doing so. I dont believe any of us need to be 'monitored', its insulting and kills communication. I'm on the ada mainlist, and monitor a couple others (dce and ncc), but mainly lurk on those. I think its good to shake RDs up every now and then. Otherwise there are oo many 'tow the liners' keeping the status quo. I used to get intimidated by the faceless rd mob, dont really care too much now. I'm just careful what and how i post things. I'm currently getting my job and salary 'upped' and am very happy, and nervous. I have jumped through hoops and gotten in people's faces at the hospital to get a jump in classification and recategorized job title. It puts me from $27/hr @32 h/week to $31/hr @40h/wk or about $63k/year. I'm a little scared its going to bottom out at the last minute, I still havent signed the bottom line, should do so in the next week or 2. I cant believe my good luck/hard work has finally paid off. I'm not rich, but I sure feel like my worth is improving. The cap in this new classification is about 89k, so i've got a hope to get there one day and make TIME magazines benchmark. Glad to be here, I put a picture of me and my two girls on my signture page. I'm going to try to upload some more later of my garden and dog. Very unprofessional, I love this. thanks for the rd-usa list. Donna in LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Sylvia, It is going to be slow, but they may get here at some point. My DH does not share his feelings, most days he denys he has any. A large part of the family MO is to hide this and cover it and make excuses for it. It is still so hard for my DH to face this, when he would rather burry. He gets very upset if we talk about this too much. He still, in so many ways, idolizes them. My sister-in-law is fed up with everything right now, but I plan to tell her about this group and gently introduce her. She has not read any books on BPD, but I plan to buy her the one on being a daughter of a BPD. She has been listening the boundary books on tape. She is a lovely woman and a very Christian person. Since this all began a year ago, she and I have become very close. We have a wonderful and sisterly relationship outside of all of the BPD crisis. This would not have been possible without the crisis at Easter. This has been the best part of clearing the smoke and mystery, exposing it to light. We got to meet each other again and become better friends and a closer family, but farther apart from my MIL and FIL. I find it so hard to get my mind around all of the abuse. I ache for my SIL and husband. I want in some ways to take away their pain and make it all better for them. I tried for a while to buffer my DH from his parents and to help take care of them, but as you all have said my MIL is a bottomless pit of need and hurt. I am also amazed by the wonderful courage I see in all of the posts. I see the hurt, but inside I also see the empathy and an amazing amount of caring and giving. It makes me wonder again how my DH turned out so well with such absentee parents. Dawn > > > My name is Dawn and I am a Non-BPD (39 years of age).

Thanks be to God for he creates our tomorrows Love, Lyncia Subject: hello To: livercirrhosissupport Date: Monday, July 27, 2009, 8:47 AM Hello all- I am not a very active member,sorry. It seems I have only so much time for networking but am getting better. I have a Facebook page and have hooked up with old friends. I am helped by all your posts and realize that one day at a time is sooooo important. I need reminders of that fact often. I have had HCV for quite a few 24 hrs. and who knows what the course of disease will bring me in the future. Today is what is important. Who knows if we'll even be around tomorrow- hope so though,always act as if. Take care all, Linnea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
