First of all, I have to remember that the computer, much like the phone, is just a tool and when it interferes with your life, turn it off and walk away. (Punkie's always telling me that just because the phone rings doesn't mean I *have* to answer it). Same thing for the computer and message boards. I was trying to do something good and do someone a favor.......and someone else took offense and got mad. Ya know, just grow up!! There are times when life sucks enough without getting into it with people you only know on the computer. Or ---- even if you've met them before, these people really don't impact the day-to-day running of your life. So just don't give them that power. Anyway, I'm feeling much better now and more balanced. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "Hi, Vicki, and yes, I'm here. Just taking a much needed break from the computer. I got stabbed in the back again by someone just like.......well, you know! Was so mad last Thursday and Friday and finally talked it over with Gerry, who said I did nothing wrong. But I was still in a foul mood and didn't need to spread that around. Then my girlfriend in SC called. She's got her own set of huge problems so I hadn't talked with her in about a month but we found a time when we could chat. Almost two hours of talk later and my mood brightened considerably. I just laid the entire situation out for her and asked for her feedback." on 6:42:48 am, Fri, 06/22/07

Even Ken's girlfriend, Jackie, told me to tell this person to just F*** off (actually, so did Gerry) but since I won't stoop that low, it's best to just walk away. Sorry..........I didn't mean to concern anyone. I just really wasn't fit company.......LOL. (NT) -- Sandy, 6:51:13 am, Fri, 06/22/07
Sorry to hear about Goose. Who was he fighting for a bone? And what happened that he's limping now? (NT) -- Sandy, 6:52:25 am, Fri, 06/22/07
Sandy, so glad you are ok.... but so sorry you got hurt by this "friend". Been there a few times myself..... it's not fun. Sending you a ton of {{{HUGS}}}.
As for Goose.... he had "buried" a bone under his bed in his crate. Bodhi went in to go lie down, and Goose thought he was going to steal his treasure, and all heck broke loose. Goose got bit in the shoulder and is limping. He'll be ok, but don't want him running around till he's healed. (NT) -- V~, 11:33:19 pm, Fri, 06/22/07
Poor baby. I have to admire Goose, though, for being willing to defend his "goodie." I hope his shoulder is better today. But may I ask......who is Bodhi? I don't think you've mentioned him before. Is he a foster? (NT) -- Sandy, 12:27:48 pm, Sat, 06/23/07
And thanks to you also, Vicki, for worrying enough about me to want to call. I had thought about sending you and Kate an email and explaining that I just needed some time away from the computer and the boards but couldn't even make myself do it. But hey, I feel blessed that you care. (NT) -- Sandy, 12:35:11 pm, Sat, 06/23/07
Well of course we care honey! I understand that sometimes we just need a break.... and sometimes we just get so busy that we have no time, and when we do, we're exhausted! We care about you... just remember that!! (NT) -- V~, 12:57:41 pm, Sat, 06/23/07
Bodhi is my lab/shepherd mix. He was a foster failure due to him having a lame leg... He's a pretty mellow guy for the most part, but once pushed, he does NOT back down! Goose is better today. Thanks! (NT) -- V~, 12:56:46 pm, Sat, 06/23/07
I'm so sorry to hear you've been hurt by a "friend" Sandy....sometimes you just can't win for losing can you??
just like with Donna..my heart is still breaking over Abby..and I see her over there and I want to go over and lend a shoulder, but you know what? If I did, she might accept it and then she might not..but either way, I know it wouldn't be long before she screwed me over again..and I just am not going to let that happen again..I've bent down one too many times as it is.....
I'm glad you are back and hopefully feeling better.... (NT) -- Kate, 9:12:41 am, Fri, 06/22/07
I was going to call you on my way home from WW last night but just as I picked up the phone Rick called me and I ended up talking to him the whole way home!! But I was definitely getting worried about you..... (NT) -- Kate, 9:18:33 am, Fri, 06/22/07
Oh, geez, Kate. You were actually gonna call??? Thank you! It's really nice to know that someone cares enough to want to check up on me! And guess what? As soon as I get done here on Piggy's, I'm going to Verizon (on line) and ordering new phones for Gerry and myself. This time, we're getting the exact same phone and yeah, we're going with the LG. But we're getting the 8600, I believe it is. I had the opportunity to try it at the store and the sound quality is EXCELLENT. Ooooo, I'm getting excited. (NT) -- Sandy, 12:33:46 pm, Sat, 06/23/07
Hi, Sandy - Oh, I'm relieved you're feeling much better and have lots of support to be able to cope with what happened, Sandy. Take care ~ (NT) -- Love and blessings, Connie, 6:52:01 am, Sat, 06/23/07
Thank you, Connie. I appreciate you're saying this. It *did* knock me for a loop but you'd think, at this point, I'd expect it. Oh, well. Live and learn. (NT) -- Sandy, 12:26:12 pm, Sat, 06/23/07
