"Women should not have children after 35. Thirty-five children are enough." - anonymous (Only 28 to GO!) 8|5|Joy, plse read..|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|15:35:29|12/12/2008|
I think you are a fantastic person and have always helped someone in need, whomever is taking advantage of your kind heart is wrong to do so and they should be ashamed of themself for that. I have had people take advantage of me in the past, and hurts the most when it's family that does it...So I learned to be more selective on who I help, their are many people that appriciate it, and for those people I have helped that took advantage of me, well my conscience is clear I helped without expecting anything in return and when I see someone expecting things from me all the time, then time for me to move on and find someone else to help who will truley appriciate it and when they get on their feet will spread a little pay it forward themself..It is okay to say NO, sorry i cannot help/give you anymore..{{hugs}} 14|6|I dont really have a hard time saying 'no' sometimes...and it isnt always about money or material things. For example, I could let someone into traffic out of a parking lot to be nice, and get no response from the other driver....no wave to acknowledge me at all, like they expected someone to let them in and they were entitled to it, hmmph!|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|18:32:25|12/12/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 11|4|Oh, pal....I know you do! And you might not know how much you have done for me all these years....just your unconditional friendship has been all I needed at times :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|16:56:14|12/12/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 7|1|Joy...so sorry....I can relate....|shelly|shellysue49@gmail.com|15:32:53|12/12/2008|
....welcome to MY world; I've been feeling like this quite a bit lately. In fact, I was just telling my dh yesterday that normally I'm a very generous person BUT I'm ready to draw the line!! It sucks to give and give and get nothing but crap back.
Hang in there, I hope things get brighter for you soon!! 'Tis the season...but unfortunately, not everyone is on board with that sentiment, imo.
Shelly 9|1|Too Nice?|cove|tangle3blue@charter.net|15:37:19|12/12/2008|
I felt that way a few days ago, but some very nice people here made me feel otherwise (including you). So, I'm here to say that always stay as nice as you are. After all, I think I've come to the conclusion that there are more of "US" than them! LOL!
Stay cool!
Donna
10|1|Thanks for the perspective and peptalk, ladies :) I dont 'let' people take advantage of me, dont mean to sound like I do...but they sure do try sometimes! lol cove, I like your line of thinking...more of us than them...I'll have to remember that next time! :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|16:55:22|12/12/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 12|1|Oh Joy, don't ever stop being you! :)|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|18:04:52|12/12/2008|
You are a wonderful person w/a heart of gold whom I've come to appreciate, respect & trust alot, & I'm sure sorry someone's made you feel like a doormat as it really sucks to be made to feel used. :( When they do that, THEY are the ones w/the problem of being rude, selfish & not being respectful as they're users while you're still a kind & giving person. They'll likely run out of being surrounded by good people pretty quickly while you'll always be surrounded by more forever friends whom you can trust & respect in return & whom you can always count on to be there for you, thru thick & thin. :) I believe in karma so they'll get what they give....
I have to agree w/what Honey says too about being more selective on who we help as there are SO many people who would cherish your friendship (I for one certainly do!) & would not only appreciate your kindness but respect you for it & return that kindness back to you & PIF to others. :)
Have A Very Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

13|2|Thanks, Tami :) And to think I almost didnt want to get to know you because of your first name and location! ROFL! :D It isnt one particular person, it's society in general....darn, people are self-centered. Every once in awhile I get very disappointed and disallusioned by our society, then I get over it and go on my merry way, lol|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|18:28:29|12/12/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 15|3|HEY J J I CAN SEND YOU UP A NICE PINATA (DIL) AND THAT WILL SHOW YOU WHAT A SUCKER IS....ITS ME AND JOE|JOYHAPPYONE|DAIDOLA5@AOL.COM|19:01:04|12/12/2008|
I'M TOO GOOD LOOKING TO BE THIS OLD...AT MY AGE I'VE SEEN IT ALL, I'VE HEARD IT ALL, AND I'VE DONE IT ALL..I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER IT ALL!!!!!!!! 17|4|OH Mama, you and Joe are good-hearted, considerate, sweet people...you take care of family.....of course, if you want to send Pinata anyway, I got a good stick here to use, lolololol|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|20:22:44|12/12/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 16|3|LOLOL Just remember, I'm Norwegian in Norwegian "country" & the other one is likely neither one. LOL|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|19:28:26|12/12/2008|
But I know what you mean about feeling disappointed & disallusioned sometimes w/how selfish & self-centered society can be. I go thru it myself & this time of year seems to be when it occurs the most. It's supposed to be "'Tis the season of giving" but I sometimes feel it's getting to be more of "'Tis the season of the gimmes & takers". :( This is the time of year I try to spend as much time as possible at the nursing home where I'm a volunteer cuz there, I'm reminded of how precious life is & how even the seemingly trivial things are valued & appreciated so much. The residents are always happy to see me & express many thanks for the simplest things I help them with. Little do they realize how much they're helping me! You being a nurse know all too well how precious life is & how much we really need to appreciate things more. But I've no doubt you are an exceptional nurse because of your kind & giving heart, & that doesn't make you a sucker but a very special person! :)
Have A Very Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

18|4|I so agree....the residents I care for are so appreciative of the smallest thing....different generation, different manners, lol. I love taking care of them, they are so easy to please (well, most of them! LOL) and it feels good to know I can make a tiny difference in their everyday lives. Any nurse will tell ya, you HAVE to love what you do to keep doing it,lol.|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|20:25:06|12/12/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 19|1|Gotta say this.....when I talk about the disappointment in our society, it is a general statement....and one of the things I love most about being here at RS is the wonderful, kind, sweet people I've met here....people here have restored my faith in humanity (I think I've said that before, but it bears saying again!) :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|20:27:50|12/12/2008|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 20|1|We love you just the way you are and do not ever change!!|bcmunns|bcmunns@bellsouth.net|20:50:40|12/12/2008|
You are the best and please do not ever change and just keep on doing what you are doing because that is what makes you the unique person that you are--anything else would be a phony!!
Hugs
Betty
21|2|Aww, Betty, thank you for the kind words :) I have no plans of changing....I can sleep well at night knowing I'm doing my best to go through this life the way I was intended to! :D|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|21:03:50|12/12/2008|

"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 25|1|joy, babe, this kind of thing is bound to happen sometimes you just feel things a certain way|glennie58|glenn_scott@alumni.ksg.harvard.edu|13:54:11|12/13/2008|
kwim? I feel this sometimes, and sometimes it's me responding to bad people's bad ways and sometimes it's my hormones
and sometimes I am just tired and or exasperated. But sometimes people are bad too, and at those times I pull it in
and take some time to comfort my soul and that can take a while too. When I'm back to feeling like myself I can laugh
it off, but I don't try to force it. Not anymore. Women are raised to be nice and it took me 40 years to figure out
that where nice meets detrimental to self, I have the right and the responsibility to myself NOT to go there LOL
Glenn 26|1|Joy: with all the great friends you have on here, why worry?!|missy|lovetotrade@hotmail.com|17:28:57|12/14/2008|
I have heard so many nice things about you, I am SO looking forward to meeting you!! I will be there officially on the 23rd!! I can hardly wait!!
Kathryn 27|2|Thanks Kathryn :) That would be wonderful to meet when I come down for vacation!|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|17:31:28|12/14/2008|
