Submitting your own post as an essay on what this board means to you! I think you would win!! ;)
The humour has been what has carried me through the hell of the past three weeks. I don't see what the problem is. Maybe we can do medical or research posts with that in the subject and if someone doesn't want to read that they don't have to open it. As to the class, it is delightful and alot of fun, having just been invited in myself I am thrilled. The same is true for class, if someone doesn't like it don't open Mrs. Hollermans posts, or the ones below.
Either way, this IS a family and we all count for something. We can easily get along if we remember that. Each of us has our own unique personalities and idiocyncrisies, respect should be the operative word here and then there shouldn't be any problems. I do tend to agree with the statement that this is a 'support board' so ..... SUPPORT EACH OTHER PEOPLE! None of us should have to give up anything...as 'Realist' stated in his wish list, he wished that people were real and didn't play head games etc. So if that's the case noone should go asking anyone of us to change ourselves to suit anyone else. THAT is not being real and that is ASKING for head games. Reality is that we all suffer, CHer's and supporters alike. We all handle it differently and we all need different things from each other. Find what works for you on this board, be greatful for it, be appreciative for those that can help you and leave the rest alone.
And Mrs. Hollerman.....BRAVA! :)(Thanks Riccardo, sorry for the tornado, she is like her mother isen't she?! :)
Love, hope and PEACE to you all!
