I am so happy to see so many of my friends here and thank you so much for accepting my invitations.
I wish I could take the credit for creating this group but this was the inspiration of a beautiful lady called Raven S.Raven S.She graciously allowed me to be a co-host of a couple of her groups. Several months ago she needed to take a leave from C2C but before she did she passed her groups over to other hosts and I requested that she bless me with this group. I love this group, the purpose of it and I certainly love the members! I have seen so many people come here for advice/support and it warms my heart to see all the people that want to help, even if it is just to say they care. Thank you again to all the new and long time members for making this one of the nicest groups on C2C.
Haven't been around a lot, but I'm still here, fighting the good fight. Hope you're all doig as OK as possible in this crazy world. Things get harsh sometimes and we can only rely on each other to get by. Sophia, dear, I know how this can be. Feel free to vent as much as you like, this is what this grou is about. And René, dear, you're right: it's not so much what we oppose as what we favor that counts. There is so much negative energy molding our society, so much fear, hate, greed and pain, we sometimes don't believe in our herarts that a better, different wolrd is possible. But human beings build this mess, so they're able to clean it up. We only must mobilize our will, the same that made many miracles possible up to this day. I count on every one of you, for I nknow the wonderful people you are. Lots of love!

You are a blessing Sophia, never doubt that. Compassionate to a fault, and more dedicated than I've seen in quite some time. Welcome!!!!!!HUGS!!!

gee hi everyone . thankyou most kindly for the invitation!marie Claude!
it is coming at amost tiring time for me. I am overwhlemed with exhaustion from taking care of my mother and the long hours of activism adn short hours of rehearsal. too short. and there is a toas on care2 trying to besmirch my reputation so i am feeling rather fatigued
I am learning a great deal about people and activim and politics on care2 . it is very difficult i think for me as an artist to try and frame my emotions in a linear sense
i sincerely wish the best for everyone in the group and please call on me to help where you think i may be of use
Hello everyone... I'm Crystal, 22 yrs old, Texas (most of my friends just call me Pixie). I'm fairly new to Care2 and this is the first group I've joined- I look forward to getting to know people and hopefully making some new friends. Check out my profile to learn more about me.
Thank you all for joining us here and to those of you that gave our new members such a very warm welcome! I apologize for not being here sooner but my hard drive crashed on me a little while back but (hopefully) I am back with a new one.

Thanks for the cool welcome. I don't know what to expect, just hope to make some friends, and have fun. It looks like a good site, but I'm not sure where to join. So just randomly joining. Cool so far. Hey, I can send stars now. I couldn't last night!
I am new here. I have joined this group as i liked the concept of the group. I have a lot of things to vent about as I have and am going through a lot but I don't want to vent it all here and all at once. I at least have one thing that is going for me. I got married last year to my best friend that was there for me through the biggest thing that had upset me which was losing my father to lung cancer three going on four years ago. If it was not for him I would of went into major depression. He is my rock and I am glad I found him. Well enough about that and more on me. I am 26 years old and as you have read am a newlywed in a small town in Missouri. Well I am looking foward to getting to know you all.
Cindy S.
p.s. I will put my messenger info in the messenger post if anyone wants it.
I found this quote and it was so profound I'd like to share it with all of you.
"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat." by Mother Teresa
I'd like to say hello to this group of rather fabulous sounding people. I'm rather new still to Care2, and this group just touches my heart-only support and friendship !!!!!
Hi folks, I think the group looks great, and I look forward to catching up.

Hi friends
I am new here. I have joined this group as i liked the concept of the group. I would like to make friendship with all of you and hoping to known all of you better
Laura, I am so sorry to hear about your accident. They had no right telling a data entry person to unload or load a truck. Geesh. Ouch I'm glad you lived through that horrific accident with a forklift. Bless you sweetie.
Today would have been my one baby's "22nd" birthday (my cat see pictures below). I'm so sad and really missing them so much. My dog and other kitten (who acts like a human 13-year-old) are not the same, you know? I'm just sad today about a lot of things.
I have a coworker who is very intimidating towards me and doesn't ask for help when a problem arises, but then blames me because I didn't help her, but I did correct the problem. Should I have to be a mind reader and offer to help her or just wait until she asks for help. No she called another coworker at home and never asked me for help. But once I resolved the conflict (2 hours after letting her see if she could fix it herself. She's very attitudish towards me anyway), she screams at me for not helping her sooner. It's just so unfair and I am so unhappy in my job.
Anyway I hope you have a blessed week and Holiday weekend. I love you all so much. to you all.
This is Stripers who would have been 22 years old today. She went home to be with her sister (see below) in kitty heaven. They both had kidney failure and died in front of me at my home.
This is Fuzzy who died 2 years ago. She was 18 when she passed onto kitty heaven. She was the best cat anyone could have asked for. I miss her horribly
It will take a lot of courage to adjust to your new life.
I do know that there are a lot of very supportive people right here, so if we can help in any way, just let us know. I think you've taken a positive first step already by sharing with kind friends.
hello..i hope I can attribute here as well as get support. I am disabled due to being thrown from and ran over by a forklift, I was hired as data entry and told to go load a truck with absoutely no training. I am a wife and mom to 3 children boy-14, girl-11, boy-10. This has just turned our world upside down as I will be disabled for the rest of my life. We were a very active family and this accident has made me feel like a failure as a Mom and wife!
I am not online everyday, so it may take me a couple days to respond, so please be patient with me.
Hi, I think this looks like a nice group of people. I'm on Care2 tring to change the Copyright Law. (See My Profile.)
I love Writing, Science, Art of all kinds, and plants and animals of all kinds.
I like to grow trees from seed, especially fruits. I'll be in and out. The road I've chosen is long and hard, but I'll get to my Destination with a bit more Perserverence, luck, and the support of friends.
Happy to have found this group. Have a great day. Respectfully and sincerely, Darlene

Hello April 25, 2006 4:26 AM
Hi all.
Obviously I'm new to this group, and judging by the messages I've read it's a very warm and friendly group, also very supportive; what more can you ask for?!
I hope to join in wherever I can and hopefully make some nice friends along the way.
Hi to everyone. I am new to Care2 and this group. It is such a joy to be part of a group that is so uplifting and positive. I thank you for the open invitation and look forward to reading and enjoying your peaceful messages.
Welcome Gayle, Sangreal, Taffy and StephaNie! April 21, 2006 11:52 PM
I've been in this group (and in Care2) for some years now, for I remember joining when I still lived in Rio de Janeiro and thaught high school... And I'm glad I did join, for I've met here those I consider the kindest and most supportive people in the Web. This is a great group and will feel at home in no time. Feel free to share your good and bad moments, we're here for this. I've been working a lot and cannot be around as much as I wished, but every weekend (today is national holiday in Brazil) I drop by. Guess we all have been through a lot lately, so we just keep coming back to check on old and new friends Anyway, what matters is that we keep going on!
Hi to all! I just joined here; it's such a nice feeling to have discovered that there's a group here where you can just be yourself and know that you won't be judged at all. Thank you for creating this group! Kudos!

what a lovely place to touch down for a while and enjoy the true meaning of friends. Cheri - I'm so sorry for your loss, will remember you in my prayers....sangreal

Hi everyone, I just joined this group and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Gayle and I live in NH. I have been searching for a group where I can vent without being judged and hopefully give as well as receive some some positive feed back. I definately don't want things sugar coated, but looking for honesty. I haven't found a group yet where I can do this and this group sounds perfect!
Welcome to all the new members who have recently joined. I hope you all are doing good. *hugs* to you all.
Thank you for your well wishes when I lost my cat and I hope you that have lost your babies are doing okay and finally healing from the pain you have been experiencing yourselves.
Hi Kristi and others in Support of Friends March 10, 2006 3:24 AM
3-10-06, Kristi, I know personally how difficult it is to personally consider to have your beloved pet to sleep, it is very hard. Several times, God took my beloved pets before the vets ever had the opportunity to put them to sleep for their own good, due to severe illness that could not be corrected, even though every effort had been made by the vet.
I do not agree with places like the Humane Society that they will put animals to sleep just because they are unable in ample time find them another good home. In St. Louis, from Animal Plant there is a hearing regarding situations regarding animals being considered to be put to sleep for one situation and another, that should be taken place in all states. The majority of times I believe man makes it necessary for the animal to be put to sleep because of improper training, but, if their are other opportunities for the animals, by all means look into each one before putting them to sleep, just because they can.
I am not always in favor of the death penalty for man. It should be a case by case situation, not because you can easily kill a human being. Judgment is God's . I would have a hard time being on a jury that had to decide the fate of another human being.
Sorry for your loss of your beloved cat, Kristi. May you find comfort in other pets that you may have or that in time you'll be able to get another pet. Sometimes, getting another pet shortly after losing one is a start of healing. Please know I do not mean any hurting words or make light of your loss. Take care, many thoughts and prayers to you. Your cat friend, Kaye
Its nice and sunny,but a bit windy today.still better than having a lot of wet rain!!! Is everyone ok healthwise? Welcome to our new members!

Hello everybody. I am new to this group. I liked the sound of being part of a group where you can actually find some support and kindness. I hope everyone is having a great week.

How are you all doing? I am new here. This seems to be a nice group.
I love animals, they are my life. I got 2 cats but last year I lost my best friend Kessy to cancer, she was a cool cat, 15 years old.
Dear Cheri E., I am so sorry for your loss. I had to put my cat Kessy down too, and that was the most painfull expirience I ever had. Is so hard to know in those moments what the right thing to do is. But I know it was right, she was suffering. She used to scream around the house in pain, took a while until the vet found out what was really wrong with her. But still is a difficult choice you have to make. I miss her very much. The pain you feel now will go down and the beautifull moments you had with your baby will come through, is nice when you can think about loved ones in a less painfull light.
Wish you all the best.
I adore meeting new people. This group seems to be the right place for me. So I hope to be able to have nice and positive chats with all of you.
Hope you all have a nice day.

Hello everyone. I'm a new person here. I like have my font large because it's easier on the eyes.
I lost my cat a week ago yesterday from kidney failure. I don't know who might agree with me or not; but, I am not one that thinks euthanasia of animals is okay. That is my own personal opinion. But I have had numerous friends and family tell me I was just a horrible person for not wanting to put my babies down. I thought to myself, "Who are you to judge me? You know? I mean I was very offended at some of the comments."
Well needless to say I prayed and prayed to God about this and he took both my one baby two years ago from me and her sister a week ago yesterday from me so I wouldn't have to do it. He knows I am not a strong enough person to do something like that.
But anyway, has anyone else ever been ridiculed because you made a decision not to do something even though everyone else told you you were wrong?
I mean I don't have human children and my pets are my children. We don't put away our own children or parents of whatnot with euthanasia, why do it to our pets? But that is just my way of thinking.
Anyway God Bless You All and thank you for listening. This looks like a beautiful group to belong to.
I'm new here. Saw a lot of well known faces- all very nice people, of course. I'm glad I came accross this group which seems to be one more nice and peaceful oasis in our world.
Welcome, Mongi and Laura! December 08, 2005 9:53 AM
Sorry for the delay, I've not been online as much as I used to befoire my new job as a court clerk, but you're right and more than welcome. We all need emotional support from friends now and then, to share joys as much as sorrows and to feel understood and cared for. This is what this group is about. And even if sometimes we feel that people of the same spiritual family seldom live under the same roof, we have to thank whatever Higher Power we believe in for the tech achievements that now allow us to be in touch worldwide. Too bad linguistical barriers keep us from reaching to people who speak no English or any other common language we do, for I've found out there are LOTS of good people all around, and I wish I could talk to tehm all. Big hug for you!

This group oozes a certain touch, a special one. I gain the impression, all members here are generous and give new comers a hug for free.
I read a while ago about hugs ans smiles, somewhere here, and I only can join: a smile is the best caress to make someone cheer up and be ready for a hug. Coz sometimes, a hug to hug...I don´t know. Please first a smile, to make your way to one, and then hug, hug and hug. In a nutshell, tightly instead of -- 3 -- hugs. Ye!
Please, don´t assess, if it sounds boring somehow. Things don´t need to always sound interesting. I couldn´t think of something else, to introduce. Off the cuff as all occurred whilst being typed. My being persuaded that you´re good, made me write...
bye bye...Sincerely...Mongi....I would love to get to know as many friends as possible, in here.
Eva, welcome, too, and great to get the introduction! Found myself doing the same thing. Reading the posts and responding without ever telling anyone who I was!
Anjee, great to see you are getting the chance to post!
Lisa!! Thanks for the recommendations to your groups. If I had known you weren't a member of this one I would have told you about it!
Great place, great people! Welcome to all and I hope you have a great time here!
PS - Thanks to all who posted responses to my Tips for Sneezy Kitten. I have passed them along to my mom, and will let you know how Smidgen is doing!

This is indeed the nicest group I ever met in Care2, and it has been a privilege for me to participate in it. I guess you both we'll like it a lot too. Hope you both and your beloved are doing OK, but no matter if you're going through pain, hardship or anxiety and need support; or if life is wonderful right now and you want to share your joy, this is the group to come to. We're quite a family here, like all families should be. Spread the word, sisters, this is a place to be as often as possible!

well hi to all of you... can't wait to get to know you. This group touches deeply on who I am, and what's always been important to me--supportive community.
Metals must undergo extremes of temperature, folding and pounding, but the end product is infinitely superior to impure ore mined from the earth. In this image, the soul volunteers the ego for a cleansing and healing experience which may turn the personality inside-out, but which brings out the gold hidden within the heart.
I hope I can help out here.
