Lately, there have been a few days I did not have as much time to devote to the board, and other days I have my old trusty IPad that keeps me connected. It actually helps me by redirecting my focus (for a little while, anyway) where I may not feel quite as useless & helpless as I do when I have sick loved ones. You all know how tough it is when you want to "do" something, but some things are out of your control. There are so many things we face down through life we will not be able to control. I try to apply what I have encouraged others to do, and that is to give of ourselves wherever we can help others.....and in return it helps us deal with our own problems. This community has continued to support and bless me. I just wanted to say, again, thanks for your prayers, concern, and well wishes. It is comforting to me, and I appreciate it greatly.

Prowl, I just saw your post today, and I am trying to catch up on your thread. I hope it doesn't close before I send my post, but if it does, please start another thread. I don't want you to think I was ignoring you. I am extremely flattered that you would reach out for my help. I do take it seriously, b/c whenever we give advice.....there should be a level of responsibility behind it. At least, that's how I personally feel.

I have not read any previous posts before the one on Thriver's thread, but I have been reading the current thread and see you getting mixed opinions. It must leave you feeling very confused. I usually try not to jump into the middle and add my own VP, too. Since you have sought me out through the title of the thread, I hate not to respond at all.

I will reply in a separate post from this one, okay?


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!
