So, is this some of that temper? Look Rikki, I didn't say what I did to see how angry I could make you b/c frankly, I can find other things to do. But, you took what Puppy said just find, didn't you? Was your temper tantrum over or was it b/c he was talking like you were some fragile little creature. Well, I won't b/c I know better! You need to put your big girl panties on and start getting some spunk and show your children that you are not finished living! Stop acting as if you are the only one who has ever gone through this. Be a role model for those kids and show them what it takes to be a winner when a S walks out. Make up your mind to do what DB teaches and get to work. If you only want to hear board members have sympathy for you and send you hugs, then just say so. I have decided that it is best that I move on to somebody who wants to be told when they royally screw up. If you want people to look at your stitch unbiased--and perhaps see something you can't see b/c of your pain.....then you need to expect to hear something beside what you call "postive". You will need to learn to take a 2x4 at times b/c they are seen around the board on many posts. It doesn't mean that you are being "attacked" but that you are being talked to like a grown-up!
I think we just saw a little picture of a big problem and you need to do something about it before your children are affected.
I hope the best for you, Sandi
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
