Late day Monday

TrudyML · Guru

Sweating!

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Sweating with you Trudy, well when I go outside that is. Glad my ac is fairly new and I have the annual service performed. This would be a bad week for it to break.

Just working away. Vaca in two weeks!

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Good morning, Good Geeks!

Hot and muggy, here.

Cate is playing in the pool. (Mere is watching her.)

I'm half tempted to get in with her. wink

Not much planned for today.

I hope everyone has a good day! smile

This is where we are this week. It's typical, doesn't make less icky.

Thought I'd get my other tooth extracted this week, but they are closed until August 6th. God's timing.

Happy Monday.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

My son has been screaming at me for the past three hours. Telling me what to do and how to live my life. Got my daughter and the ex involved. Now everyone is telling me what I SHOULD do. I'm tired of it all. Seriously thinking about moving far away and being done with it all.

TrudyML · Guru

Cut them all out of your life.

No one has the right to tell you what to do or how to live your life!!! Tell them all to go pound sand and don't answer the phone or the door for a couple of months!

And why, after over three years of ignoring us...do we have to listen to your drama?

When you dropped our message board, like a hot rock?

Just wondering. confuse

I'm sad for you. cry

But, I really don't want to hear about it...years later.

You have a lot of nerve.

I'll give you that.

For shame. furious

I agree.

You treated me like crap on another board and I'm supposed to care about your drama?

Lily, get a grip.

NJN, left years ago. And, never posted here, since.

Now, she shows up, out of the blue. After years, of not posting? confuse

Yeah, someone is starting crap. And it's not me.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

She and I have fought numerous times on many boards.

Doesn't mean I have to continue the fight.

She's been posting for weeks, why say anything now?

All I'm saying is, we've all grown and changed. And we all have our drama.

You started this. Own it like a big girl.

And here comes the pile on.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Maybe she came back because she remembered how we were helpful and understanding. Some of have had our ups and downs with others in the group. Aren’t we supposed to forgive?

Yeah she has been posting for weeks. We all know that. However she ruined this board for a long time prior to leaving and trashed us on other ones. Haven't seen an apology for any of that.

FNW · Guru

Yep, IKWTDS.

SB, we are to forgive. And make amends. I'm waiting for the amends part.

We can forgive, but we don't always forget. And some of us, me, won't let it happen to myself again. Shame on you once, shame on me twice.

I was surprised, when NJN started posting again. (Nope...shocked) We used to meet for lunch, and shopping, back in the day.

Until she got mad.

She had such distain, for many of us...

And, now...here we go, with her drama.

I give her credit. She waited a couple of weeks...tossed out bait, for us to ask about.

And, here we go.

You got suckered in, and I'm sure, some well meaning Geeks got sucked in, too.

NJN, really should explain, why she dropped us.

And ignored us, for so long.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I don't really owe anyone an explanation but I left because some of the so called Christians started advocating things I KNOW aren't in the Bible. It became hostile to me. I didn't want to be a part of that. And again, the so called Christians don't disappoint.

FNW · Guru

Then why come back, except to stir the pot?

Do you actually read what you post?

This is just ridiculous and petty.

I don't need an apology.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I'm sorry, NJN, I don't know what else to say.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I came back because time had passed. A lot of time had passed. I've tried a couple boards and didn't feel comfortable on them. With the divorce and everything going on in my life I'm a much different person. I wasn't stirring the pot. I purposely kept my life and problems to myself until someone asked. I hope you are all having fun kicking me while I am down.

FNW · Guru

Mmm hmmmm.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

I never deleted your number from my cell.

You didn't reach out to me, NJN.

And, I'm sad about that. cry

I still think, you ignored us, for a reason.

And yes, I think you stirred the pot. For a reason.

Maybe, to talk to some old friends?

Just, a guess.

And, now that you came back...let's give it a go. smile

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I wasn't asking you to be my friend FWM. I'm not sure what I owe you. You made it clear I could not talk to you and still talk to certain other people. And that's fine. All my life people have tried to dictate to me what to do. I get tired of it.

I had a really tough day. I am beaten down. I have to move soon out of my home of 12 years. I thought about just giving up today. I don't know how much more I can take. Happy? Have your board if you want. I really didn't need this today of all days.

I feel the same, I’ve been on other boards and feel this one is the most inclusive to all of their members not just a select few. I won’t pretend I understand all that has happene, but when we are hurting we tend to turn to those who we trust the most.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I never asked anyone to like me. Or be my friend. I didn't ask for anyone's approval. I just asked that I not be bashed because of my messy life. Guess that was too much.

Like, Wow.

What the hell, did you ever do, for me? I treated for lunch, every time we went shopping. I enjoyed our time together. We had a lot of fun! smile

I felt bad, after meeting your ex. I knew, I'd never want Wayne to meet him. Wayne, would have beat the **** out of him. furious

The first time, he spoke to you, without respect. Which he did, enough times, in the little time that I was around him, to know...oh...hell no. Wayne would have beat this *******, into next week. cry

I felt terrible. I knew you were doing everything right. Being a good Wife. Good Mom. Good step-mom.

I was worried, and I was hoping for the best. But, I didn't like him. I did my best to hide it. I just didn't think he was worthy of you. cry

For whatever reason, you got unkind, on a birthday thread.

I made a general remark, that birthday threads should only have happy thoughts. And, you got mad.

You blew me off, after that.

You blew the board off, soon after.

Gone, for years. And, now, you're back.

Out of the blue.

Crying a blue streak. So many things going wrong. Kids, Marriage, Health! Drama.

Shake my head.

I hope for the best, NJN.

And, I pray, things will get better for you.

Fingers crossed.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Let me know what I owe you for lunch. I will gladly send it to you.

FNW · Guru

Always the victim. Haven't changed.

Forever Sunshine · Guru

WOW! I'm at a loss for words and a little put out by this behavior. I have no skin in the game and no idea what happened but it really doesn't matter. Someone you (g) once considered a dear friend is in need. It doesn't matter what went down years ago or even yesterday. Remember, forgiveness is more for the giver than the receiver.

Growing up Catholic, the focus was on the Eucharist rather than scripture, which is changing these days, so I'm not real familiar with the Bible but isn't there something in there about forgiveness after repenting? I haven't seen any repenting.

Forever Sunshine · Guru

Like I said, forgiveness is aimed at the giver, not the receiver. Holding on to perceived hurts or grudges hurts the holder; hardens hearts, etc. But, I guess you have to do you.

FNW · Guru

Meh, she doesn't register on my radar. When she returned, I had to check my memory, asked around, etc., to see if I could even remember who she was. I have held on to nothing when it comes to her. But I do question the timing of her return and Tig's silence.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I am not Tig. And I haven't talked to her since she messaged me saying she was leaving. I'm also not a victim. I never claimed to be nor did I act like one. I truly did not know that FWM was so bothered by paying for lunch. I will gladly pay her back. Furthermore, I am not going to "repent" to you FWN or grovel at your feet. Don't care if you like it or not. This board had their own faults which I'm sure no one will admit to. I am certainly not the only one who left or the only one who wasn't happy at the time.

FNW · Guru

And there it is.

She was not nice when she left here and said AWFUL things about many of us and has never apologized. I've tried ignoring her mostly. But people have the right to their feelings. And a right to be heard.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

In case some of you don't recall - flan was one of the nastiest people to ever type on any message board. One day, out of the blue, NJN just turned on all her friends on this board, decided she liked flan best, said terrible, mean things, and then went to Richard's board and said even worse things. Maybe she thought she was justified. But she hurt a lot of people here who thought she was their friend.

Then she comes back and doesn't even address any of it, say a word, discuss it or apologize to anyone. I think people have been holding their tongues for weeks now waiting for....anything, really.

Forgiveness doesn't mean one has to forget, or trust again, or even agree to be friends again. And sometimes, in protecting yourself, you need to not get sucked back into the drama.

I'm sorry NJN's life is not going as she wants, but I, for one, have no interest in investing any emotion in her again.
