You have had some stress on you lately lttle woman. Did you notice Scout is here.
I am not sure if Suzannea made the switch at either place.
Fb has me uneasy. Not sure why, partially from the massiveness of it.
Talk tomorrow.
Did you get your food Loveslife?

"Tomorrow" Rick starts so early, it's pathetic. Jamie, soon I'm going to fall for Ambien. Do you believe that?
Yes, I know Scout is here but she is mainly a PM devotee. She, in fact, said so when I once raised a fuss about it publicly a long time ago. PM's with you, Rick, were always a joy, but they can be something else entirely.
So I'll relate why I hold back. Without mentioning a name I once had someone PM to me giving the impression of leaning toward S (suicide). For a good number of hours I was desperate. I was alone with this person. Should I contact Mod? Should I involve someone else? Whom? How? It was awful, awful. There is important security in a group setting that is lost in PM's. In a group you are not alone; the full responsibility is not yours and yours alone.
In fact, it was a Friday like today when I go to a gym and people sort of count on me. Instead, I was pinned to the computer: I could not, would not leave. I decided then and there I would do all I could in the future to not find myself in that position ever again.
Jamie, you are doing wonderful, admirable things. Doing volunteer work is not necessarily as easy as it may appear. It takes daring, initiative, energy, persistence. You summoned up all that within yourself. Hurray for you. Guitar lessons are great. Piano arriving is very good. You know what I think of yoga. Do you want the part-time job offered?
Now.....marriage. I could go on and on and on about it. And so probably could you, Rick. Now Rich always contended he has a perfect second marriage. Maybe so. I'd sure wish it for him, like Rich very much. But I seriously doubt there are too many perfect marriages. To me some synonyms for marriage are adaptations, moderating expectations, adjustments, compromise, negotiation, diplomacy, balancing (there are more). When Prince William and his Kate marry there is likely to be perfection, for a while. And then? Life begins, even for them, as for anyone, at least in my mind.
Is this long winded or what? Sorry. I dreamt this up at an ungodly hour, but am daring to get it out there anyway.

Tina you are able to say things so well. I do not have much patience with suicide blabbering. It is not that I dont care. It is that I will not be threatened by it. You know me I hand them a rope. If they want to work things out then fine. If they are all .ucked up, then whats one to do but try.
Jamie has turned into a make up for lost time. I admire her spunk for trying and when we try we usually do move forward. Maybe not allways winning the prize.
I am not all that thrilled about fb.
lovinglife had given me her phone #, I can not find it and I did not write it down, or I would pm it to you. I forgot in all the rush rush the other night.
Don't feel bad about the Denver papper thing, I do like reading.
This has been a useless productivity week for me. Looseing the site really affected me more tha I ever dreamed. I suppose I worry about the ones that are hurting and struggleing and now can only wonder. It would be better to not even know or care, but that is not what I am about. It is odd that at times we may endanger ourselves for the sake of a stranger.
I have alot to get done today so I wont be here much till late. Wife and I are going to see the new Harry Potter, she is a movie nut,I hate large groups of peole in closed in areas.
Wish me luck. Wishing you a great day.

What happened to our expulsion notice I believe from a member? We post too much and so our thread floats to the top. Might I suggest that (1) it can be ignored (2) anyone can join in. P&P welcomed us and was asked to join in as can anyone. It is true we know each other and were smoothing out the past which was emotional for us. Sorry about that.
We are interested in getting to know members here. We come from a psych based site which was terminated. There we explored our psych issues interactively. Our foundation was a book by a psychiatrist and his writings on the site. When new members joined we tried to direct them to these resources. The resources are necessary, but so is the active involvement of members.
If necessary, we can certainly move on.

Tina, I believe what was mentioned was that this forum is for questions and answers related primarily to StressCenter's program. This particular forum is used for asking for and receiving help on those issues. By using this forum as a "chat" it bumps your thread up and pushes the others down. There is a chat room here for chatting but unlike the one at Anxiety Zone it doesn't have an option to private chat with other people. You are all welcome here, but please don't make this forum into a chat room. There are other sites with which to do that. Thanks!
Flyer I don't know that I agree with your post. If chatting with friends from LTT is a stress relief for some people than I see no problem with how they are communicating. They are not taking over other threads. Everyone else using this site can simply ignore the LTT thread that shows at the top. No harm in my opinion.
I may be wrong allthough I believe what Fleyer99 is refering to is this "was that this forum is for questions and answers related primarily to StressCenter's program.".
As such I do have the program paid in full from Stress.. Is there a problem?
Are you refering that it is your way or the highway?
Or that maybe some here might perk an ear to the wind or smell a fresh scent.
You point is made. We will not just hang with 1 thread.
Thanks

My only concern is that is seems like your group has come here and if feels like, to me, like you want to stay seperate from the StressCenter.com gang and still be in the same room so to speak? Are you inviting anyone from anywhere to talk on your threads? I don't care if the StressCenter.com Admins don't care. Maybe you should ask them if it's okay too? Just a thought. I wouldn't for example join a Weight Watchers chat room and promote Jenny Craig.But I am not sure if that's what you are doing? Like I mentioned before , is anyone from anywhere welcome to join your threads to converse?

I am not a groupee and we are all individuals.
I am also a independant individual.
Does anyone think that we are pedaling wares?
To that I am not. It is all about learning and sharing to better ourselves and the people around us isn't it?
I will start another or many thrads so as to not bring attention to the current thread and leave it to be noticed by some of the folks that were left hanging.
I invite anyone to join in on any of our or my responses or inquiry or challange my thinking,
One might say just because I do not attend your church it does not mean I do not know Jesus.
It is about the end goal is it not?
