  It's a sad day in the neighborhood...

  by Scully in

  i just heard that fred rogers (aka mr. rogers) died today of complications related to stomach cancer.. my kids loved watching his show as much as they enjoyed watching mr. dressup.

  when ernie coombs (mr. dressup) passed away a week after 9/11, my kids were devastated, it was like one of their best friends had died.

  i was devastated too - for my kids and for the part of me that also enjoyed mr. dressup as a child.. give your kids a big hug today when you tell them the news about mr. rogers.

  I didn't know that he died till just now...I am just getting home from classes and see this.

  Thank you Mr. Rogers for helping me with my colours, my alphabet, learning how to count, how to tie my shoes and most important of all for me now...the thirst for knowledge...you are one of the many people that I can thank for helping me on my way thru university. I thank you for being my neighbor.

  i posted a topic the other day titled "do you understand..." and it referred my version of a high control group.

  after that post my mind was still working so i sat down to write and this is what came out:.

  once you begin to conform with some degree of an acceptable level, you will be given responsibilities in the group.

  i am posting this so that the lurkers and the ones saying "oh they don't do that" can see.

  i was treated this way all through my time with the witnesses this is what they do and have done.

  this poem was written in 1983 and it hasn't changed at all in the organization.

  You have totally expressed my sentiments about the wts.

  yet with words they tear down,what I strive to build

  this is so true...words tend to hurt more than anything physical.

  And yet you have made it out! I am glad you did...I think we are all better people for no longer being a part of that Dis-organization!

  Hugs....

  ((((((((((thunder))))))))) I'm sooo excited for you! These are good times!!!!

  I think a map would be a helpful tool...just make it "dottie-friendly" as I can get lost quite easily ...Heehee. How are Sheila's mapmaking skills???

  All kidding aside I am very proud of you (and Sheila) for pursuing this dream and making it come true. I think we all can learn from you guys that dreams do come true !

  Much love and Hugs!

  Please help me save my marriage - URGENT

  by happyout in

  2. relationships

  i am fighting to save my marriage, and the person i seem to be fighting against is my husband.

  a little background, we had a rough time dating, because he had a hard time being faithful.

  i caught him cheating three times, and left him, but he kept asking for forgiveness, promising to change, and i bought into it.

  I am sorry to hear of your situation. Although I am probably the LAST person to be giving marital advice (I have my own marital probs to deal with)....maybe you need to ask yourself if you're happy. If the answer is no then weigh your options. I don't think you should be concerned with what he's going to do if you want him to leave...you need to worry about the safety of you and your son..not whether he can afford to be on his own. And to be totally honest the fact that he has cheated on you kinda rubs me the wrong way...they say once a cheater always a cheater (goes for both men and women).

  Another thing to consider is whether you really want this to work. Are you willing to invest more time and more energy into this? It seems to me that you've invested quite a bit already with nothing in return.

  Feel free to PM me or email ([email protected]) to vent more if you want.

  Take care... Hugs
