Shannon, are you here? Are you OK?

How did the get-together go, guys? What was the jumbo surprise? Inquiring minds want to know all ...

I just got home little while ago from havin real fun time with Hotspot, Jedidiah and a couple other people. Watched the game ate lots of food we talked a bunch Ill let Jedidiah tell you what the surprize was.

did you have good day Luna? hope so

anyways we were all talkin about a lot of things today and one of the things hotspot suggested and I think might be good idea yous might think it lame maybe just not wanna thats ok gonna go by consensus

thought in addition to writen about our days and stuff maybe in other started blog thread we could discuss other stuff like different topics Me and hotspot liked the idea of talking about conflicts and findin out how we all deal with them now in the past whatever not really about anything that happened here but if someone wanted to talk about that in respect to the topic in general It would be ok. Maligns idea was a good one just felt not in right place in the middle of past stuff I liked what shannon had written and we could have added to that but I doubt it would have stayed general/personal without further problems in that thread. I kept shannons feelins about it and if were ok with her could post it in new blog thread or send in msg for her to do

now this as hotspot said isnt group therapy or school do think we could learn stuff from each other and do it in a place without the anger prying eyes etc etc

this is all just a thought tell me what ya think if yous dont wanna we can just stay with everyday stuff instead of addin new threads of actual topics too

Oh Luna I had a great fantastic day. My jumbo surprise was our moderator Domino. Mike and Hotspot were able to get my doctor to allow him to come and spend the super bowl with us. It was very special and means a lot to me that they would work it out that he could come and visit me.

We had enough food to sustain a small army. Chicken wings, Italian food, hero sandwiches, potato chips with dip, pretzels home baked desserts Mrs. Hotspot made and so, much more. After eating Domino laid right on my bed and let me pet him until we both took a nap.

This must have been the time Mike and Hotspot discussed the new topics idea. I think it might be a helpful endeavor to try out but only if everyone is wanting to. It would also perhaps be like our own little forum spot and I kind of like that idea.

I do hope Shannon is alright. We know she does not handle the arguments well. I do not want or like for her to be upset. Perhaps she is angry with her thread being closed because of the arguments. It would have been nice to return to posting in her thread, I did not feel comfortable doing that right away. Before I could regain being comfortable arguments started again.

I don't want Shannon to be upset either and I too hope she is alright. A lot went into that thread, it is sad it needed to be closed. I had also hoped in time to possibly return to it with good intentions and positive movings. The time to let things settle never seemed to be allowed to happen. There is always someone that gets hurt in matters like this and I'm sorry it had to be this caring, kind, strong woman.

Jedidah, I am glad you had a great time. I really enjoyed spending time with you and your counselor is a really nice man. It was nice to be able to watch the game even if neither of my favorite teams made it in. Most years I do not get to watch the game at all. Domino, visiting with us was priceless and something I will never forget. Some of the looks on the drs, nurses and people we passed faces getting to your room will be forever etched in my mind. Several smiled huge smiles others did double takes wondering what the mini horse was doing in the hospital.

I am wishing you well for your surgery kid. It won't be long now before you get to come tour my house.

Thanks you guys for your concerns...Im ok, I have survived worse. I tend to take on others pain or frustrations to much. Yet in a real crisis I can handle everything just fine.

Anyway, my thread was closed by my suggestion. I had sent Malign a PM about doing so, thats when he posted what he did, and I also made a meeger attempt to revive it..I think for the 3rd time. So when I saw his post I thought it would be an oppertunity for me to discuss my strange responses to conflict..I guess it didn't work, and Malign and moderators took up my orginal suggestions, kinda feel a sense of loss over it...sheesh I could even develop an attachment over a door knob.

I like your suggestion brodman, because it is an issue in my life I have, but didn't realize just how much till here.

I am glad you all had fun for superbowl, sounds like it was a great get together. I miss that so much in my life.

Just wanted to make sure guys know Im ok...just real tired.

Good thing you are ok shannon between your pming malign and hotspot pming luna malign and irmajean there was loads of pming goin on to bad no one gets commision

anyway hotspot was one with suggestion I mentioned so gotta give him gold star for good ideas I kind of would rather girl scout cookies its that time of year when the girl comes to my house they feel like they laided mother load with order I put in every year You get girl scout cookies in Oregenoland? it would have been nice if you could have come to get together with us really sucks you live in guam

I was laughin so hard I spit water all on and over my monitor My screen reader read your sentence Jedidiah of "After eating Domino laid right on my bed and let me pet him until we both took a nap." Thought I heard it wrong so had it repeat it and sure enough is sounds like you ate Domino

Luna can you imagine havin my furry pal on YOUR bed? These pics one in my profile and this one got taken at the old ladies house that likes me and feeds me all her great cooking I dont know if this one will fit in here but gonna try

:) I am so glad a good time was had by all. It sounds like it was such fun. You know Mike, when you said "jumbo surprise" and that it took some finagling, I guessed it might be getting Domino in! Well done to the hospital for allowing that.

I cannot imagine The Pooch Hound on my bed! And on those narrow hospital beds! - how did you manage? But I can imagine him and Jedi having a nap together - that must've looked so dear!

Hotspot, I think your idea is a brilliant one.

Shannon, glad to hear from you. I was concerned about the fallout on you.

My insane tenant now claims she is going to lay a criminal charge of animal cruelty against me!!! It is all so bizarre. I hope the SPCA comes to inspect, that would put that matter to rest very smartly. My cats live in the lap of luxury, like Domino, they are my babies now my daughters are grown. She is also using my bipolar against me, saying I am unstable! (That one is pure malice.) It's like a bizarre alternate universe in her mind that she is trying to drag me into. She says she is going to see a lawyer today to file charges against me!! I wonder what about?

Luna, what a miserable tenant and how does she even know about your MH issues? There are too many people like this one you speak of in this world. You could remind her of also being able to get an attorney on your behalf. I know you said you don't really have any rights regarding it all but there must be something that can be done. Maybe Mike could come visit you he seemed to have dealt with tenants like yours before.

Mike, I swear Domino looks even larger in that photo. That soccer ball looks minuscule compared to him. I wondered where those photos were taken the decor looks old time and not something I would envision your place having.

Luna, Domino fit nicely in Jedidiah's bed. It isn't the narrow type it is slightly wider and Jedidiah is very slender.

I smiled when I saw the sentence about Jedidiah eating Domino. What I found even more funny though was your sentence Mike of "when the girl comes to my house they feel like they laided mother load" I know you meant landed but laying the mother load gave me a nice chuckle. The girl scouts love me also because between the order put in for my own home, I also take the order sheet to work. Forget about ordering boxes we get cases of those cookies. This year the variety has been slimmed down thankfully all the favorites are still present.

Glad my suggestion of widening Malign's idea is accepted by everyone here. In general it would be nice to have more going on in here next we will ask Luna to put in some amusement park rides I call the red bumper car. I wonder which color (((shannon))) would like.

just had to post a LOL at my sentence you pointed out more to say later about eveyrthing still at work waiting for my old people write more later

I want the blue bumper car,,,,love bumper cars..don't even need bumper car to play bumper car.

Happy you are OK Shannon. I really like the bumper cars also. Hotspot took red and you a blue one, is there an orange available? I would like that one.

Luna, I am sorry your tenant is treating you with such disrespect. The last thing anyone needs is unnecessary problems. She can complain all she wants if her complaints are baseless she is only making herself look like the trouble maker she sounds like.

What is a girl scout? What does a mother load mean?

Domino is a very great dog. He is sweet and likes to be petted. I used him like a teddy bear for our nap. He smelled like baby powder and was warm an soft.

I am having surgery in the morning. I do not know when I will be back to post. I will probably be able to read and attempt to keep up.

Mike, what I would really like is if you could put the address for that Amish parody song you showed me here. Going to one place to see all of you, Domino and that funny song would be helpful.

Its funny went from addin topics to amusement park rides ok Im game blue for shannon red for hotspot of course you can have orange Jedidiah and Ill take green. Think we should paint one for Luna being where she lives maybe something in a zebra or chetah print :)

Luna what a tool your tenant is see you are too nice and patient Id have her runnin for the hills dont let her piss you off so many seem to get off on it sickos

Jedidiah mother load just means massive jumbo extra extra large amount of anything. A Girl Scout is a organization where groups of girls get together they do crafts games voluteer work and sell extra tasty cookies but only once a year thats why gotta stock up There is a Boy scouts too they do more things like camping buildin stuff

Hotspot that is small soccer ball in photo not official size nice old lady got it for Domino so he could have his favorite toy at her house too at home he has the official size. And yeah all her stuff looks old school but she is old lady fits her

Havin good thoughts for you Jedidah and will talk to you tomorrow or your shrink to find out that everything went good. Ill try to come see ya on wed or thurs after work

OK here is link for weird Al's Amish paradise

I think after all the seriousness its nice to have a little fun. Its good for the soul.

Good luck Jedidiah, will be thinking of you. You are one step closer to that tour of Hotspots firehouse. I know you won't be feeling up to posting during recovery but I am sure the guys will keep Luna and I updated.

I forgot to answer you brodman, I mean Mike..I can call you Mike on here right? Anyway, yes we have girl scout cookies here..I love the peanut butter/chocolate ones. I use to get loads of them when my boyfriends daughter was a girl scout...I raised her like she was my own. Her mother was doing prison time.

Luna I hope that tennet gets what she deserves some day..sounds like she is grasping at straws trying to create trouble for you..stand strong.

Hotspot, I hope all is well with you and thank you for letting have the blue bumper car...most of all thank you for your concern for me..I usually can bounce back..funny though I have been very hesitant in posting in the public forums. I feel so much safer here for the time being.

sure you can call me Mike just dont ever call me late to a meal I get real grumpy without food Now the peanut butter ones hmm are those the dosie does cant remember now my favorite is the semolias or something like that never get the names right Have to say a little jealous you had inside girl scout sorry you dont no more

I will get our discussion thread started sometime tomorrow that way we can all have everyday stuff fun stuff and topic stuff

I think shannon you should do whatever makes you comfortable in posting and youll get back to it when you are ready I read some out there just nothin makes me feel like postin not much did for me ever except Jedidiahs thread which kept me here and then yours I just dont relate to most of the people here sometimes feel like am on different planet I just think and do a lot of things different than what I see here and my responses wouldnt be considered supportive so dont put them

shit my welcome to the site was pretty dismal to begin with and then I wasnt real nice to Jedidiah in my first reply to him I never really meant it how it sounded though but didnt matter even after I apologized many were really shitty to me in their private messages but then I read some of their posts and just felt sorry for them and figured they needed someone to try and beat up what they didnt know though is Ive been beatin by almost pros so nothin they were sendin mattered turnin around and postin askin anyone for advice or help here seemed pointless at that stage

Jedidiah was nice and cool though and actually bothered to take time to get me most dont and I really dont care but suppose maybe Im suppose to dont know anymore I dont need a lot of people just good real ones and my Domino

Thank you for the good wishes.

Mike, could you put the one with the singing warthog and his friend here also? That one is really funny.

So, everyone knows

Jedidiah had his surgery and is comfortably drugged up in the ICU doin good

Im not sure if Im gonna be able to visit him tomorrow or Thurs have some cold like crap happin obvisouly dont wanna make him sicker but I got my stock pile of drugs will see how I am by Thurs after work

Heres the link you wanted Jedidiah

Domino thinks EVERYONE here should take a watch its only 3 minutes 7 secs out of your life

there will be a short quiz afterwards to make sure everyone did Domino's homework assignment

Poor poor, Pumbaa..I especially liked the toaster falling from the sky.

Well I responded on my other thread today,,first time posting out in the "arena" in a while. Anyway, I mentioned how disappointed I was that we couldn't bring up the topic of conflict as Malign suggested and that the thread had to be closed. I mentioned that I don't think we were ready (in the "arena") to discuss that topic obviously, that healing must be done first..something like that.

Thanks Mike for letting us know how Jedidiah is doing, I was thinking about him all day today. We will have to keep his bumper car warmed up for him when he gets better.

So Domino, did I pass? or do I still have to take the quiz.

Ok Shannon Domino gives you his paw stamp of approval for doin your homework although some others here might still be required to take the quiz I like the part at the end where Pumba gets one last zap

Good you were able to post again. If I can manage to keep my eyes open from stock pile of cold drugs Ive taken gonna start our other thread hopefully after I have very needed snack

I think it might be nice if malign keeps Jedidiahs bumper car warm for him unless orange isnt his color or somethin anyone not like that idea?

I think thats a good job for Malign...I hope that you get better soon...colds are soooo inconvienent, just don't give it to Domino. I have to learn how to post photos better, I don't know what it is I am doing wrong. Would like to introduce you guys to some of my furry family members.

Im still have mixed feelings about posting in the open at this time. I find it so healing here, which I need. I think Mike would love Richard, my jack russell, Domino too.

I hope everyone has a good night and an even better day tomorrow

I am so, glad Jedidiah's surgery went well. I am going to try and visit him this weekend. 4 out of 5 kids sick here and I have to work a 48 will have to try and work it in. Sorry, you are feeling sick Mike hopefully it will run it's course swiftly. I know Jedidiah loves your visits.

Also glad you posted again Shannon do what you are up for.

I did do Domino's homework maybe I can also be excused from the quiz. I enjoyed the video. I really liked the part where the octopus tentacle grabs pumba, his being shot from the cannon also cute.

Nice to see the new thread went up here. I strongly suggest Mike you stay away from reading much of anything out of this area especially in respect to a certain person. Read something in a different pond that just felt like more pathetic fishing. Maybe I should put this in the new thread but I just can not believe how someone can not leave something be already.

More importantly to me I can not believe how I was fooled and engaged with such a person for as long as I had. Ignorance in not believing anyone other than those on her list could be affected is the epitome of ignorant controlling behavior. I am surrounded by conflicts many at actual life and death levels but this crap makes me ponder who and what really matters even more. My real issue is needing to reevaluate how I interact in future situations of this nature. I have not had this level of interaction since probably High school leaving me rusty. I would rather not need it at all.

Something more uplifting.. I think Malign should help keep Jedidiah's bumper car warm unless someone has an issue with that. He has experience with being slobbered on by large spotted things and can handle the frisk given by Domino. I have a feeling he might enjoy the pooch frisk. :eek:

I totally understand what you are saying hotspot. I think that is the reason I have been hypervigilant about posting out there.

I just posted on Mikes new thread, fear I didn't make much sense, I rather confused myself. LOL....Like you though I have dealt with larger type conflict issues and did just fine and coped well, I just don't know what happened with this last one that got me so tied up in knots, is it that I care to much?,,dunno.

lots to ponder on...sheesh I hope I don't give myself a headache.

Thanks Ill be ok colds do suck as yous know never good time for them just lots got to do this week. Bein up still at 2am not helpin cant take nothin more either have to have at least 6hrs of no drugs to be able to drive my old people around in the mornin safely

shannon I would LOVE to see your furry family do you have the photos hosted at another site or are they only on your puter? I read what you wrote in our new thread here and it makes sense will have to reply later today when my brain is workin better and can give good reply happy you jumped right in I have to bitch a bit now

Hotspot unfort I had already seen/heard it ya know how everything comes up in "todays posts" sometimes Im not paying attention or quick enough to stop the screen reader from starting into threads better forgotten about. I heard the nonsense which ya know I just feel sorry for her at this point and this is only my opinion an have no real way of knowing obviosly makes me wonder about her honesty in things she says about herself when we were all postin all the medical and all like if you are havin all these what I would consider serious problems and have pack of kids where is all the time comin from to think and rehash and wanna hate and bait its just not addin up for me you are right about it being ignorant that only those she chooses has been hurt not leaving it alone and tryin any pathetic stick she can get in just makes me pity her more now

The best advice you gave me and man it is so damn hard but good advice is to ignore her like she doesnt exsist like you I cant understnad how I spent all that time postin and didnt pick up on authetic ignorant person behind all the nice nice and wanna sound so helpful postings maybe a dr jeckle mr hyde thing goin on somethin just dont make sense to me

Before the recent stuff sure I was still pissed but still cared for her and what she was goin through and all that I dont anymore because selfish people like her dont deserve my care which I dont give to most dont wish nothin bad for them just usually dont put in the time to care I did with her even after but no more its not worth it so she can bitch and poke all she wants eventually like most pests ignored they stop because they arent gettin the satisfacation of more problems like they want

Phew, I can't keep up with you all and the posting you do! I did watch the video and I like the frog backup singers the best, especially when they dance at the end. Please, please, not the slobber, am I safe? :eek:

Edit: Just wanted to slip in a HI for Jedidiah - well done for coming through it!
