faces dont fit
clicks
trolling
stompin off

i hear coddy has gone dont know why( do tell coddy/jane whoever you are) - ks went - i know that one - traceyp went as she felt the mn tone was being lowered - anyone else go?

anyone brave enough to point out the clicks to me?

there was a "why are you all so quick to condemn" - that i nearly nearly got what was going on - but didnt quite - as like all of these threads inc. " am off" types they always refer to the "other" thread - not naming it.

any other gossip?

thanks v. much in anticipation

could we set up some kind of mumsnet conference call then we could all sing to sunny together. Hope you're not having to deal with that all alone sunchowder

evangelist only lou, not sales (wish I got commission though).

Sunny, I'm sorry, I ignored your awful situation. Bless you for looking after your brother even though he doesn't like it.

Honestly, feel like crap. We are going on a cruise and leaving on Saturday 10/16. Hopefully I can recharge. Ah Chinchilla...perspective. This human condition of ours. I am an orphan now at this stage in my life, so I can freak out about threads complaining about Mums or Dads or MIL and FIL or just have compassion for our condition. When you no longer have your parents, it is so much easier for you to want to lash out and scream at someone to appreciate what they have...easy, but wrong. Clarity, Compassion will get you through every time. Hugs are great too (says the American!). I adore this site and I wouldn't change it for anything.

Sunchowder - I am in the same boat as you - orphaned at 29! I too wish people would appreciate what they have but as you say its wrong to lash out so I don't

No, I am not alone. I have my DH, but his involvement is minimal and I have another brother that lives out in California so he supports via the "voice network". I am grieving for him as I believe I am going to lose him. I am meeting with a social worker at the hospital on Thursday so that I can be assured that he will be kept there until my return. He was living in a group home, but he had another break (as they call it). He suffers with Physchitzoeffective disorder (probably badly mispelled). It is like Bi-Polar but has much longer lasting delusions. He is God and is all knowing and all seeing, he is a healer, has a very high position in the government, etc (I am not describing our current president either). He has an extremely short fuse and starts to yell and scream and get very out of control when you try to speak with him.

So....I will get through this and I thank you for your lovely thoughts.

Sunny, how awful for you and your brother. I hope the cruise rejuvenates you somewhat.

Good to see you can still find humour in it though (comment about the pres)

sunchowder · 12/10/2004 20:54

Thank you Lou! I thought I was going to have to flounce off naked as no one cared after I poured my heart out here inappropriately on this thread!!!

sunchowder · 12/10/2004 20:55

And thanks Jampot! I know that you can relate. Ilost my Mom 13 years ago and my Dad last year. But I am 47 (have no idea how that happened as I was just 15).

I feel like an orphan, as my mum is dead and I havent seen my dad for almost 30 years.

sunchowder · 12/10/2004 21:03

Not at all Chincilla!! I am not upset, I knew exactly what you meant!!! Please don't worry for one second, ok? What I meant to say was that I always try to make "room" inside myself in order to give value to other people's feelings I am far from perfect, but I really do try. Please don't worry about upsetting me. I love it here.

I'm glad I know who october is too - that's snmum and october sussed in one day. I'll catch up yet!

Big hugs to all of you - sunny, lou, Harman, october and anyone else who wants one. I have plenty..

((((HUGS)))))

sunchowder · 12/10/2004 21:05

Ah Lou....any idea where your Dad is? I don't know if you want to resolve the relationship or not. Sometimes things change when you have your own children. I don't know where you are with this. I had to forgive my father for ALOT in order to have a relationship with him (he was a womenizer, etc. and my parents eventually divorced when I was 19).

Hi MarthaMoo! Thanks for the hug then!

Davros · 12/10/2004 21:10

Hey Sunchowder, haven't seen you around for ages or I've just been able to avoid you by not going to Active Conversations. Hope you are well, despite the awful situation with your brother. Lovely to see your name! Remember how we both suffered at the hands of the same MNer ages ago? I've felt a connection since then, she seems to have pissed off though

marthamoo · 12/10/2004 21:12

Davros - wanna hug? I'm not quite sure how you hug a half wizened old crone/half dustbin thing but I'll give it a go....
