Why isn't it enough to post your thoughts in the original thread and leave it at that? You can have strong feelings about her post and disagree with those who responded - but I'm not sure how this makes things 'better'?

Yeah, what she said ... I'd take it as a compliment (unless of course, they meant the dancer like the other guy said! lol)

Your feelings are your own - no one else can dictate if they're right or wrong. I think your reaction is natural and to be expected given the circumstances and while I wouldn't advocate 'celebrating' her death (there needs to be a healthy respect for life itself), give yourself permission to sort out your feelings in YOUR time, no one elses.

I would not be surprised if you find your feelings softening and changing over time - you may eventually feel sadness that she was unable to celebrate her children's happiness and felt the need to sabotage it, you may learn things about her after her death that will lead you to have compassion or empathy for her and why she behaved the way she did - while never excusing it.

(I know this was true for my family after my gmother passed away - we uncovered things about her life that we were unaware of while she was with us and it gave us new insight into her 'difficult' personality, etc. Just my 2 cents.)

Best advice I ever received here? Spend time posting in the forums - it's the easiest, most effective way to meet new people and have fun at the same time.

Good luck with your search!

I get the gist of the question, as in, have you ever spent a lot of cash on something for someone only to them see it as no big thing.

If I have that right, my answer is yes! Every woman (3 of them) I have bought expensive jewelry for, be it diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, whatever, each woman reacted with a response like "Oh, that's nice." The reaction would have been the same had I given them a hairdryer!

All of those commercials where you see women ecstatic over receiving precious gems? That's not my experience at all!


Maybe jewellery wasn't their 'thing' *incomprehensible to me, but guess it could happen* ... or did they feel the gift came with strings attached? (not insinuating, I swear - just playing devil's advocate) ... sometimes it's the little, unexpected, nominal gestures that speak louder than the grand ones (but precious gems are something to celebrate too love)

I understand from a romantic viewpoint - if he's not feeling it anymore - but what about when you're supposed to be FRIENDS with someone ... do the same rules apply? Do friends just go AWOL from other friends for no good reason?!

Have the book and it's darn near illegible from so many reads ... wish I could say I'm wiser and less affected when someone new goes *poof* into thin air, but it's never something that just rolls off my back - yet, anyway. ohwell

but who cares - a person is more than a pic.
i know someone better by what they write than what they look like.


*high 5's s1owhand* My sentiments exactly! Sometimes I think when there's no photo to pre-judge a person by, their words become more significant and everyone gets a better chance.

I think a range of pic's is good (said by the girl who currently only has 1 laugh) ... I know I've been surprised by how people can look so different from one photo to another!
