    Susan -- I will stand with you in support of Charlene.  She has been through alot this year and needs support like everyone here.  It is inevitable that with such a wide variety of backgrounds, there will be disagreements along the way.

    Wanted to add my thoughts and hopes and prayers for CY, slonedeb, Joanne and Ferne.  I have a list a mile long that i keep in my purse and bring every week to services.  I give it to the Rabbi and he reads their names.  It is read before the prayer called the M'Shibeirach which is the prayer for healing.  Puppy and I were talking on the phone yesterday and we both agree that it doesn't matter whether you worship in a synagogue, church or under a tree, all prayers are form the heart and are said with love and compassion.

    Well it almost lasted a day.  Sealed

    I predicted this in my mind yesterday, the one day I mean.  I'm so smart, sometimes I scare myself.

    Beth -- thanks for including Joanne.  And I agree, prayers from the heart are what matters.  For those of you who don't have time to read other places on the board, Joanne is a mets lady who posted mostly in the Recurrence forum.  She has brain mets and they have just stopped her treatment. 

    Here is a link to her blog

    Susan, calm down, no need to scream?  That is just what I want to do - probably along with many others.  

    I just think it is a shame we keep doing what we are doing - doing to each other.  It is old, it is tiring - it is as if everyone looks for stuff in post.  Not exactly sure what was negative in saying what I did but you know, the community can get it deleted.

    Jasmine, thanks.  I wasn't exactly sure who Joanne was.  I normally go to the mets board and read but lately, well, it has just been overwhelming.

    Only reason my post was deleted by me.......is I wrote......"knock, knock anyone home?"  Cuz I skipped a page and didn't think anyone had been here. Then I realized I skipped over a page and deleted it................

    ROFL! Neesie -- been there, done that!  Only usually I actually post and then wonder where my post went before I realize its on another page.

    Blue, you are right.

    I was wondering how long it would last too.

    It is always the same old same old.

    We have sisters who are literally dying and what is the biggest concern? A picture? Are you serious???

     

    Then comes the  rock, paper, scissors game of who had the worst year- Well guess what? Jacque, Lisa 40, Kelly, Shelli and Diane got you all beat. And none of them went on ad nauseum about how horrible their lot in life was- nope. Instead they continued to reach out to others and be inspirations to others, they had generous hearts and love in their souls. They are now dead.

    DEAD.

    wanna compare years now?

    wanna blither on about whose picture was deleted and whose was not?

    wanna play gotcha and see who can delete whose post the fastest???

    Go ahead. We know you will. But guess what?

    It isn't all about YOU.

    CY needs our love and prayers-

    FERNE needs our prayers....

    and Slonedeb, Joanne, Watson and many many more.

    This is real life- real problems- LIFE AND DEATH.

    No one gives a shit about your friggin pictures.

    I said it the other night and I will say it again- this thread has lost its focus and its intent. It has been polluted by this petty crap that continues day after day after day. It has been destroyed. Are you happy? Because there is no longer a place to go that is safe- that we can mourn together, be free to be scared and express those fears with each other.... it is gone.

    How about everyone just STOPS and takes a breath and looks into the mirror and asks themselves- is it really worth it? Is the pain I am going to cause today worth it?

    To have another breakdown of support over something as inane as what you are all arguing about is embarrassing.

    Melissa and Tami- this thread needs to be locked or removed completely. As the one who started it I ask that you put an end to it because what is occurring now has destroyed what it was.... and it was beautiful at one time.  And it is a damn shame that there are people so consumed with hatred that they felt it their duty to ruin the most loving thread on this board. 

    Hurry up and report this post. Get it deleted. I know, the truth hurts  - and the truth is some of you are making utter fools of yourselves. 

    We are in a battle for our lives. The ones who have made it their business to ruin this thread and this entire board- please dig your own foxhole because I want to fight this fight with the women here who are full of love and compassion and a hatred not toward a fellow sister- but toward CANCER which is the only enemy.

    Gina, please calm down.  I've already explained myself. 

    I was sticking up for a friend.  I didn't say anything bad about anyone.  I told Peter that I was not made at him. 

    There are plenty of loving threads on this board.  I am doing my share of praying.  I choose not to do it in the circle. 

    I take it I am not allowed to disagree with those who come on here and are overly emotional.  I had no intention of continuing with this conversation until you brought it up again.

    This has been a rough few days...
    It is time for us to hook up our horses and circle our wagons around some of our dear sisters who need us the most right now.

    Robin, Rhymee, Mena, Denise, Marsha, Katz & Sarah, Gwenn, Pennylane, Dianne, Shelliks and all who need some love and care from the sisterhood.

    I will take the first watch

    To put it in perspective, I see a few names above of those angels who are no longer with us.

    And how many sisters here today may not be here tomorrow or next week or next year.  How many children could be left behind, how many broken hearted family members.  You never know...each day is a gift.  You are not promised another. 

    I would pray for anyone struggling...no matter what...I would put anyone in the center...regardless of anything.

    I would be terribly sad not to ever see Margarets smiling avatar again...or Neesie...or Odalys...or Shokk or any one of you from A to Z.  It could happen...I pray every day that it doesn't...and will continue to do so.

    Love and hugs

    Vickie

     This morning I came here and wrote a post from my heart.  To everyone at a time when we so need to support each other. It is with heavy heart that I am QUOTING Gina.

    Its with great sadness that I agree. DebC and Puppy - I give up too.

    A friendship circle is a place were no one gets left out, left behind or hurt in any way.  Is that something we can all agree that we are capable of doing?

    Vickie,

    You are absolutely right and there are some scripture quoting, angel posting people on this thread that won't even acknowledge or speak to some here.

    One can only say hmmmmm since we are not to judge.

    This thread should be removed.
