Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 n, I admit I haven't a clue as to what this post is about. Sometimes I'm not too clear on things. I hope it all gets resolved though. You sound "heavy hearted" and your posts are always so full of cheer. Hugs to you. Your posts always cheer me up. Have I said that before? Take care, Tristan Rojas wrote: Reading one member's apologies to a number of us, I remain baffled. Are we not a group? Are we not, therefore, a kind of extended family? Can we not therefore say anything RELEVANT to coping with MS to ALL the group? And is it not our obligation to do so, so that all the group will be participating in the conversation? After all, using my own imagery, if we realy WERE on a large cruise ship, taking a large cruise for MS treatment and ultimately cure, would we not all of us speak to one another, openly and frankly? I think, that sitting on the deck in our padded deck chairs, dining to gether, and lolling in our COOL POOL, we surely would, and that that is the reason that we belong to a group such as this. I suppose that one might have occasional reason to post the moderator or list owner, but that by and large, we are all in this together, and that is why we are here, to be together. I do not mind an occasional private post regarding something rele vant to a recent particular discussion, but NEVER about other mem bers of this group. Some are more experienced on line than others, and you have all been most kind, for example, about my notorious "typos," for example. On most lists there are people who do post me to ask me to clarify one of my own confusing posts, or odd use of language, even about technical terms, but in all my years on line, and in all my groups, and I moderate one, I have never before seen a post criticising anyone. It is my hope that ALL will feel free to write to me about what the heavens I meant to say in that last post--and that none will ever post privately to anyone about anyone else. I had not seen that post or an apology earlier today, but I gather that this has occurred. I think that we must all bear in mind that each of us is suffering from MS, a similar demylenating condition, or awaiting a definitive diagnosis, and is therefore in and out of great emotional distress--even those who seem so strong. I love you all--and if the moderator or owner chooses not to post this one, I will understand, of course.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Trista; I had noted one member's apologies to many in the group, and it seemed to me that something ought to be said about our being a group, not just a collection of individuals floating out there! I was not heavy hearted, more concerned that private posts might be keeping meaningful information from the community at large, and besides, we have the BEST moderator and group owner, too! Thank you, Trista, not to worry, as we say in New York and here in San Francisco area! Love and appreciation to you, n Re: I am concerned n, I admit I haven't a clue as to what this post is about.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 I also am puzzled but thought I may have missed something in all my trips in and out of the house. Whatever it is Auntie n, we all love you and don't want you to feel down or upset or doubt our loving " family " . This is an outlet and gathering place for all of us and from each other we can garner strength, wisdom, encouragement, hope, love, and help. In our lives, is there anything else we can ask for from one another. Hugging with every bit of cyber strength I have. > Reading one member's apologies to a number of us, I remain baffled. > Are we not a group?

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Have a nice visit! I haven't seen my brother in over 6 years. It's also nice that he cooked dinner! I always appreciate it when someone else cooks, since I am usually the one with that job. I made breakfast for dinner tonight. Ham, hashbrowns, scrambled eggs and biscuits. Funny, I love it for dinner, but don't like breakfast food for breakfast! I am a little strange. Tristan Rojas wrote: It's o.k. After all, we are a group, with a great moderator and a fine list owner, and just terrific members; the blooper of one just made me feel that private posts somewhat dilute the communication of the group as a whole--not that I do not send them nor receive them, just that I guess I always want myself to read what is on others' minds. Don't worry about it. Perhaps I should not have had an e-vent on line, but I just felt that way about something that one person had apologised to me, among others about--and online, which is good. Thank you for your concern; and I am feeling rather cheery. My brother, , six years older than me is visiting, and he was born totally deaf; the two of us communicating in a variety of SIGN language and abbreviations, while typing our messages to our groups is a kick. I let him use my Comcast account as it works so much better thant the variety of ISP that he has! So, he cooked dinner tonight, and that did cheer me up! I had been very ill with a cystic fibrosis exacerbation, but that is nearly gone, though I am full of Levaquin, a big gun antibiotic. Not to worry! Thank you, Trista, for all your concern!
