won't be here as much anymore

[bonniebee]

I just want all of you Ex'ers to know  how much I care for you ,how much I appreciate you, and how much you have helped me for  these past 1,009 days .

I lost my nice HP laptop last week in an argument with my friend She hit it with her fist very hard 3 times and broke the screen I was so angry I dropped it on the floor because I was tempted to throw it at her . I almost smoked over it but overcame the temptation . Now I have a crappy little RCA android computer that doesn't work very well, Guess I should be grateful to have one at all .

I am not going to be here as often I can't upload much I #lost all of my graphics and pictures on my laptop as the hard drive was ruined .

The consequences of fighting are not worth it ....just like the consequences of smoking !

Thank you, Giulia.  Marsha is not a wig person but we're going to try to find a scarf or a turban that works for her.  I have a work friend who went through a tough bought with breast cancer 7 years ago and she offered to have Marsha call her.  I gave Marsha her number, and I think it will help Marsha to talk to her.  I just feel lucky that I can spend a week with her.  I went up weekend after last, but was just there Friday through Monday, so this will be a more relaxed visit.  She and I are the last ones from our family, and she's my very best friend.  I have children and grandchildren, but she has none.  I need to be the strong provider for my precious sister, and I am gearing up for that because left to my own devises I'd probably be in a corner somewhere crying my eyes out.

You know this is one of the problems I have with the new site platform.  We're responding to each other on Bonnie's blog.  That's not right.  It's like we've got a secondary stream going, and it was so much better to be able to talk to people on their own home pages.  But now there's no way to do that.  Well, actually there IS, and that's in a PM, which is where I'm heading.  Anyway sorry Bonnie.

that is ok Giulia it happens frequently just another form of chatting !

Agree.  100%  Emphatically!  (Am I allowed to use an exclamation there?)  Oops.  Sarcastic question mark.  OMG!  I'm going to be banned!!!  I CAN'T HELP IT!

The problem with that, Giulia, is that once you go PM, no one else can participate in the conversation, so it is strictly one-on-one.  Previously, if we wrote on a members personal page everyone else could view it too and chime in to create a small group conversation.  We had the option for complete privacy, but also the option for small gatherings of members to just chat randomly without commandeering another member's blog post.

This is truly a problem that should be addressed.

So noted yesterday.  https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/thread/16855-communications   Unfortunately there is nothing for it except to use Status Updates.  puff-tm-draggin‌

Can we just make it an unwritten policy that we all write all over BonnieBee.quit.2.8.15's blogs from now on ... like just crash all of her pages like uninvited guests that never leave?  She said she's not going to be using them all that much anymore anyway.  Shall I set up a survey?  BonnieBee's, 'tis the place to Bee!

I am so sorry about your sister DJ that is so hard to go through i am dreading the day one of my sisters gets that ill I being the eldest hope I go first . It is really hard to bear DJ

[djmurray]

Thank you, Bonnie -- I pray she comes through this well.  She has pulmonary fibrosis in addition to moderate emphysema, so she's very vulnerable.  But I will spend as much time as I can with her and hope for the best.

djmurray‌ I am so sorry that both of you are going through this, you are an amazing lady and I am sure your sister is very grateful.  Sending you love and prayers.
