Drunkpunch’s comment was right-on. I’m now at the hospital where I paid MONEY to get into Xanga. When I was here that time my daughter had surgery I got on to check my stocks. Oh, how I miss Bob and all his advice. I tried to play his Podcast at my sister’s and I swear I heard his voice but my sister insisted her speakers weren’t loud enough. My youngest sister told me today that she thought maybe I was spending too much time on the computer. How I was the one who was “so charming” and to be “hiding behind a computer” instead of getting out with friends just didn’t seem right. Whatever. I miss you guys. I tried to call you, Ellen, but I don’t have your number. I thought I’d saved it in my address book but I didn’t. And I tried to call Drunkpunches, too. I was hoping he could fill me in on some of you. The reason I’m at the hospital is Monday night has been the Journey Through Grief Class. I’m almost at a place where I’ve forgiven my dad. So that’s huge. I got my TV back today and the guy even gave me a remote. That’s number four and unless Bridget figured out how to get the cabinet open it will be there when I get home. Still no computer. They sent me a new modem but that did nothing. Gotta go; sorry I’m not doing comments. So one-sided.

Definitely want to hear more about the forgiveness and how you got there and what you went through to get there. Is forgiveness the same as acceptance? I can accept that things happened that were nasty and wrong and not have any desire to punish or even publicize what bad things happened. But I don’t feel forgiveness. I just accept and go on. I think it’s different…hence my curiosity as to what you went through emotionally to get there. When should we forgive, as opposed to accept?
Life on the computer can be so addicting. And the friendships we make?
We’ll be waiting for you to return. No biggie.
we’re not going anywhere. sometimes relationships are one-sided, and then the position changes. most of us understand that!
Going to be an interesting post once you get back to us..we miss you and we will be here when ever you find the time. marilyn
What was it you needed to decide about your mom? And forgiveness is huge, I’m glad you’ve found that place.
Well, my sister would discourage me using her computer and I’m too cheap to pay somewhere else to go online, but…. I don’t have to deal with a broken modem. Checking my e-mail and comments is usually the first thing I do each day. We make some kind of connection here. Those who don’t understand obviously haven’t made a connection.
Go Prudy! Miss ya! I came directly to your site…still whispering….
Can’t wait for you to get back and hear all about it, Judi
Did you try my 1-900 number? Only $1.99 a minute. I talk in circles of ten penny words until the caller begs me to stop.
No apologies needed! You are in a jam and that you keep us informed at all is very kind! Glad to hear about the progress with the grief classes. My thoughts are with you Pru.
And I echo that WE’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE! So don’t worry, we’ll be here when you get back online.
Ah…the poor disenfranchised
and just when the world is gettin’ interestinger and interestinger
I miss Miss Prudy….
hahahaha! No! I didn’t know you volunteered there at the hospital! That one I could not figure out! It was my feeble brain trying to conjure up something juicy on Prudy!
My mother volunteers at the hospital. She’s a “Pink Lady”. She loves it. She’s done it longer than lots of people work for a living! She only volunteers one day a week on Monday….without fail, almost! She’s even been their president and manager of the gift shop!
I see that I have missed much. Decisions about Mom’s are so difficult. . . . after you forgive your father please take the time to forgive yourself for not forgiving him sooner and here is a virtual hugs to suppport you a bit – a small return for all the support you have given me.
~happy for the comment~
but, what’s happening w/you????????
Even on vacation i cannot resist the urge to point out the bullshit whenever i hear it
