On the advice of a few of the women on her, I took a break for a few weeks. I felt like I was offending some of you, and I didn't want to bring that kind of negativity to this forum.
You ladies have been great, and I do enjoy coming here and hearing what's going on with everyone.
And I know it is really close to Gwenshacks wedding and wanted to come back and wish her luck! Good luck Gwen.
Sometimes I may write things that people take offense to. I have come to realize that there isn't much I can do about that. Trust me when I say that if there is something that I think may be taken the wrong way, I think long and hard about what I am about to write, in the hopes that my intentions come through. Sometimes they don't, and I am sorry about that.
My intentions are pure. I have no need or want to hurt any of you, and in the future if I do, please let me know. I do tend to become overzelous on things I have already experienced, and I don't want my passion for a subject to cause anger or hurt to any of you.
That being said, I am on my way to catch up with everything that has been going on lately.

Welcome Back:)
:whoohoo: I was hoping you'd come back!
Same goes... just take everything with a grain of salt. Good communication is hard - near impossible online!

Welcome back.
I was only thinking about You this afternoon. How weird is that.
Good to see You took time out to clear the cobwebs. A few days away can work wonders. :)

Glad you came back. I took a few week break from here, too, as well as my other forums. You know, when you get this many women together, and throw in there the fact that other than smilies, it can be hard to judge how people are “saying” something; feelings are bound to get hurt, whether it was intentional or not. I’ve been part of forums for so long, and I’ve realized over the years that there WILL be people you don’t get along with, who don’t like you, who you clash with, but there are also people that you will gain friendships and trust with, and people whom you get along with and agree with their viewpoints. Like I said, this many women, all in one place… is it natural to assume that everyone is going to like each other? I don’t think so. It is hard to remember that, though, when someone calls you out on something they don’t agree with, or who posts something you think is utterly ridiculous. I’ve become good at replying to only what warrants a reply, and remembering that if someone doesn’t agree with me, that’s their right; taking everyone’s opinions and advice into consideration, even if it’s not what I want to hear; or that if someone says something just to peeve me off, I should ignore it, and the issue will go away. There was a point, right before Christmas, where I started taking everything that was said/posted personally, and I knew it was time to back off and take a breather. I’m back now, though, and feel much better.
Do I think everyone here likes me? No, I would be very surprised if there was not ONE person who didn’t have some sort of issue with me. And that’s fine. It’s just like society. I don’t like everyone, they don’t all like me, and that’s absolutely fine. If someone posts a comment I think came out sounding wrong, I will (usually) ask for clarification before getting offended and all up in arms.
But, anyways, there’s my work-time-wasting speech of the day. :rofl: I hope you all enjoyed it, even if you don’t agree with it 100%. ;) Love you guys!!

Only in a perfect world :)
It's said that if three women found themselves on a deserted island, two women would go to the other side of the island to talk about the other one. Unfortunately, we are imperfect creatures. LOL
p.s. Love you too Jenna!

Thank you guys!
You are all the reaeson I did come back. The break did me good though!
I haven't been on here much, do to helping with my nieces wedding. I did all the flowers, will do some of the photography, all of the videoagraphy and helping wherever she needs help.
After her wedding Friday, I have another to go to as a guest on Saturday, then a birthday party Sunday.
I'm already tired. :gurn:
I hopefully will get some time soon to catch up with you all.
