... CatNipped wrote: OK, I accept that. I've been been worked ragged at my job, I'm in a lot of You and I both! I'm so ready for a change of jobs... and my employer just announced 1000 more layoffs this month! Rumour has it this Friday. In theory, my job is very safe, but you never know. Purrs to all those who will no longer have a job. Oh no! We'll be sending purrs that you keep your job for as long as you want it, and purrs to those who are laid off that they'll find a better job soon. The reason I don't complain too loudly is that right now any job is better than no job!! pain (either from the fibromyalgia, sore muscles, or - what I think is probably the case - I have another kidney stone), so I'm feeling a bit depressed myself. Oh my goodness, I had no idea you were ill. Lots of healing purrs going your way. Don't feel depressed (I know, easier said than done). Just remember that you have lots of friends all over the world who are about you. I hope you've sent Pam your snail address for the card exchange. It's lots of fun! I promise to send some of Rufous' fur in the envelope... I absolutely hate, loathe, and despise people who get all weepy about minor problems and yet have found myself going home in tears Friday, Monday and Tuesday. I think it's just a combination of frustration about my job, being tired from working non-stop (no breaks even for lunch), and feeling lousy. I started taking extra vitamins and gave myself a stern lecture, so hopefully I'll start bucking up and quit whining. I don't want to be overly dramatic and I honestly don't want people to rush to ask me to stay, I just wanted to be sure I'm not causing problems for the group - the absolute last thing I want to do. So, OK, thanks for the honest answer, Victor. In all the years I've been posting on this group (hmmm... at least 5 years, might be more) we've never asked anyone to leave and we always beg folks to stay. That's the only real thing that was bothering me - that I might have, even inadvertently, caused someone to leave the group. This group is about the best support anyone could ask for and someone who is suffering a major loss and depression *NEEDS* that kind of support, so Cheryl's leaving really upset me. Oh, I can't be a drama queen any more!!?? ; LOL, again, thanks Victor. I'm glad you took it the way I meant it. The last thing I want is to add to your problems! Oh, I would much rather have honest and loving criticism than dishonest and smarmy @$$ kissing any day of the week - I really do appreciate a needed kick inthe keister. *hugs* -- Victor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he Hugs back atcha!

... Don't you dare drop out of the group just because someone in the group had a chip on their shoulder. I was not in rpca when Eric was killed, but I sent Cheryl purrs and hugs when she posted that it was his birthday or the date of his death. I sincerely doubt that there is anyone in this group or any other group who has not lost a loved one, be it from an accident or natural causes. I, for one, lost my DH and best friend of 46 years suddenly from a pulmonary thrombosis after a relatively minor surgery. Yes, you do grieve when you've lost someone, but after a period of time you have to get on with your life. Most funeral homes have support groups to help you through the grieving process. Ok, it's time to get off the soapbox, and say again DON'T LEAVE THE GROUP because of this! -- Nan and the furkids A wise man talks because he has something to say; a fool talks because he has to say something. Thanks Nan - I guess I was just being a big ole drama queen (Victor had me pegged to a tee ;) but, as I explained to Victor I love this group so much I would throw myself on a live grenade to save it!! ; I haven't heard back from Cheryl, and indeed she may have kill-filed me if she thought I was attacking her. I only hope that others will be able to get in touch with her and persuade her to come back to the group - it sounds like she needs to be here if she is still in so much pain. And yes, you're totally right in that we have all probably lost someone dear to us - Tweed lost her Mum, Lois her son, I my Dad, and you your DH, so Cheryl is not as alone in her loss as she may be feeling. I know of no better support group than the people here who are all sensitive, kind, and loving souls. Hugs, CatNipped |
