Now you know, I remember B lady too - we've had quite a few discussions about her. She was one of the first people to post to me in my now disappeared first thread
It was her gentleness and kindness that really helped me when I first came here. Yes, sometimes we all need a nudge or a push to get us unstuck, get us moving forward. That includes me.
But I have to tell you that when I first came here with my heart in shreds and my world turned upside down, I didn't need a push or a 2x4 - I needed someone to understand me and help me.
And that is exactly what I got. I consider myself very lucky.
I would just like to say for the record that Ms. Worthy is pretty much a bad a$$ - trust me on that one! Lol!
Love you girl

uRw, do you remember telling me once to "Use tact, not anger. Tact was described to me as telling someone to go to hell, and they look forward to the trip."
Well that is you my friend. You tell us the truth, tell it like it truly is, but apply what would be a painful 2x4 in someone else's hand with gentleness, grace, love and tact.

Thanks for the post on my thread, and back at you!
I like both faces of URworthy - feisty and gentle. You have a base clef and a treble clef, a harmony and a melody - together they make the whole. You don't always have to use them equally! And sometimes gentle is just as effective.
Because the truth in all this is that this $hit is hard. And looking inside and doing the work is hard. And sometimes you just have to suck it up. Sometimes you have to say f it.
I need this printed out and stuck where I can see it everyday.
Before, I was never been a big fan of the "F" word...but I tell ya what...here lately, that is the ONLY word that works for me sometimes. "F this...F that....F him...F everything...F it...STFU!"
