Someone 'twisted my arm' and here I am

Thanks Holly

No one sent me an invite. I just saw it listed on the profile of someone I know, and wanted to see what it was, and decided to join. I definitely wish I could meet some goals! The best thing in my life now wasn't even a goal initially: my new hubby. When my previous hubby who had MS died, I thought that was it. I was 50 then (51 now) and thought I could never find another wonderful man like Grizz (Short for Grizzley, my previous hubby's nickname). But Tom was in a net prayer group with me, knew him for a while as a friend, though not very very close. Then after my first devastating grief with absolute exhaustion was past, I got to know Tom better, went to MA to meet in person, and we married, and are back in OH now.

But goals of getting better or doing various things seem to not really happen. I just seem to get through one day at a time, and cover only the basics and emergencies.

Gotta lay down. To be continued....

Maria Angela!

What you've undertaken is, indeed, quite something!   But, if we can help you to become motivated, if we can help you find that sense of stick-to-itiveness, then all the better for you, and for us, too.  

Please feel free to explore all of the threads, ask questions, post comments, ideas, and suggestions, start threads, and enjoy yourself here.

Maria!!! 

Youve been thru a lot dear Im glad you found us! I hope you find a happy home here, along with support for meeting your goals!

I have to make a retraction. Wolf Singer did send me an invite, but I just found it. When I go into my yahoo account, this is what I see,

"You have 19433 unread messages" EEK!

So I didn't get to yours, Wolf Singer, til this eve. So sorry! But I got here anyway.

Hello Wolf Singer, I received the email in regard to being deleted if not participating vocally in groups !!

I am somewhat surprised by this as I enjoy reading what others have written and have learned a great deal from their comments, but that does not mean that I always have something to say with regard to the posting.

I have always found the best way to learn anything is to listen. If we all did the talking and never listened then we would not learn very much from each other.

So I feel sad at your decision but it is your group and your choice to do as you please.

Sandy

Hello Wolfsinger, thank you for your reply.

I am sorry to hear that you and others have been having problems from disruptive persons. I realise that you have to protect group members confidentiality & feelings, I am in full agreement with you in regard to this.

It was rather a shock just to receive a message saying if you don't participate then we will delete you from our group. I am in a number of groups and do contribute on a fairly regular basis but sometimes I enjoy just reading what others have to say. I don't always feel the need to add to the posting for the sake of it.

Perhaps if the message had contained what you have written here then I don't think anyone would have taken offence, myself included.

You have done what you felt is necessary to protect your group members and I am sorry that you have been insulted by care2 members because of your actions. That was not my intention when I responded to the message.

Even if we don't always agree with anothers opinion or action I feel we should be able to discuss the situation in a responsible and adult manner without insulting that person and respect their point of view even if it does differ from our own.

I do hope the problem you have been having is resolved for you.

Regards Sandy

 Hello Group! ............

I have been introduced to this group by Leslie.

I worked as an electrical/mechanical assembler for 9 years at Bombardier (building passenger railcars) and, have now been layed-off for about a year. ~ In the meantime, I've been going to school for my Electrician's ticket.   I've got about 14 years in electrical experience so, I figured that was my niche!

I have been alittle over a year now in Nanaimo, BC and just LOVE it here!                    ~ Breathtaking!   I'm real bummed about leaving my friends and family back in Thunder Bay, Ontario thou!         Yeah...quite torn so, I'm not sure what the heck to do!?  

I haven't watched television in about 8 years! I spend my time listening to music, reading, crafts and gardening.    OH!!.......And, I LOVE renting and watching movies! { NOT considered television, there is a difference! }

Looking forward to sharing with all of U! *hearsmile*

Virtual Get Togethers

Since we are involved with an international group we are 'running on GMT" ... so I hope to survive the next 36 hours.

Follow the Spoons story link to better understand why it is difficult for people, such as myself, to plan and live a normal life!

Hugs ato all, Gayle

This is a warm and caring group - the members are supportive of one another    

Of course, since this is Pices "room" we are always welcome

 [ send green star]

Its great to see you here Carmen! You about summed up my goal achieving abilities! lol  I still have yet to accomplish even 1 of mine!

Gayle... Its "our" room

 [ send green star]

Glad you joined us & thanks for staying with us! lol

Joanne... Im glad youre staying with us too  lol  As far as the reverse threads go, unless we get an overwhelming response from members requesting them to be reversed, I think we'll keep them this way. Most groups I have been to do not reverse the threads.

Thanks for the invite Joanne B.

I hope to be able to contribute to this group. 

I have been reading through previous posts and topics - how long is the period of time before someone is considered inactive? I wondered because sometimes I don't have anything to say....... *hmmm*

 [ send green star]

Nice to meet you and thank you for your contributions already!

Amy, Svetlana and Mike. Good to see so many friendly faces. Pisces has done a terrific job with this group and hope that you find lots of useful and helpful information - she sure has posted a lot on here. If you have questions about diabetes, hopefully I will be able to answer them for you. For now I just wanted to add my welcome to all of you.

Came across this group after checking out your profile page (because you & I are currently involved in a "word association" game in Transitions) LOL. And I see that we share a passion for health & wellness!

Good Job!
