Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I've been a listener all my life because my life depended on my listening and not talking. I'm half deaf so it's a major effort to hear people... especially those with their backs turned to me and I can't read their lips. ANYWAY, I learn more than most by listening. I get my support via " listening. " Can you see where I'm coming from? ) ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Earth is my home and animals are my family.

You cant get the support you need. It's like going to AA meetings and just sitting there saying noting. Your getting no support your just learning about the people around you. That isnt support, But that is how I am seeing it. When we are able to get the entire moderator staff and both owners online at a relitivly same time we can discuss this better. But it is a thing that alot of members are thinking about since only 1/3 of the 500+ members actually post.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Welcome, . I, too, have some hearing difficulties, but definitely not as much as you do and often have to read lips in noisy situations. Glad you won't have to worry about us turning our backs on you to hear what we have to share! I'm sorry that this guy thought he had to come into our group and start trouble. I am glad that he came in - otherwise some of our friends we never knew we had would still be in the background and not coming forward to share with us. Welcome - I'm glad you all are coming forward to the sharing table to be with us. There is healing and power in our sharing together.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Hi Lynn, Which guy is that? I guess I must have missed something because I don't remember reading about a guy coming into the group and starting trouble. Then again, I think there were a few messages I didn't get to read because my hubby was trying to get me off the computer and get ready for bed. ) ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Earth is my home and animals are my family.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Ok - so it's the fog kicking in again - it was on the other fibro group I belong to. Got the two mixed up. Still good to see folks come forward and share. Lynn Re: Greetings I've been a listener all my life because my life depended on my listening and not talking.
