Living with Ourselves

Living with Ourselves

hello @eudemonism @eth @outlander @Bunniekins @Mazarita @Silenus @NameUnknown @Grasshopper3 @patientpatient @soul @Former-Member @Determined @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Friendconnect @Teej @utopia @Queenie @Appleblossom @Zam @perseverer @Janna @Owlunar @Former-Member @Former-Member

First of all I wanted to let you know that I have conversed with all of you at some stage on both sides of the forum..

It was my intention to close two of my threads and change my name in the kindest way for all of you...

I commenced this process on the 12th March and today is the first day that I have access to actually post or respond to anyone....I was in the last couple of days able to register a new name and like some posts...

I am so sorry that my profile ended so abruptly that was definitely not my intention....

In fact if I had done it my way.. instead of thinking would be better to be guided through the process....I would have just written on one of my threads my reason for closing my account tagging you all in....then requested account to be closed and username put to bed so to speak

I have chosen to take this path in order to protect my family's sense of safety .. privacy...health..

Please let me reassure you that this has nothing to do with any members on here...

I have tagged each and everyone of you because you have given me support and invited me into a little of your worlds...priceless experiences...I have felt heard and valued on here....Thank you all so much..

Moving forward ...this is who I am now and hope to be able to converse on the forum living in the now not the past...therefore no mention of my previous username necessary...

If you do not know who I am...that is fine also...perhaps all of the above is not relevant for you..

take care

Re: Living with Ourselves

Well @Sophia1 believe it or not he picked the red comb and my letter of suport to him after that, to pieces looking for something to grab the stage light with, and from what I read today I dont think there is a way to escape this guy apart from me going for I'm not sure how long, when I have asked someone nicely to leave me alone, they usually do.

which part of me thinks is O K because i really think this guy needs to be on here more than me maybe. back to looking for another place to role the swag, but if I find one I will duck back to let you know where I am at and who knows maybe we can chat there, and i will come back here if things settle.

I feel like he's just waiting for me to make mistakes, and well I'm A 2 so it will be very uncomfortable as you can imagine. I will send and come back tonys

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 any way I dont want you to reply till you have a easy day if there is such a thing.

I really wanted you to tell me whats happening with your son. Have you heard anything at all.

and then I will fell better if I know youare well too. I had to talk to you about the other so you know why I cant repply for a bit.

I don't know why but this thing does my head in.

So that is the end of my winging. I did meet a lovely guy called Le chuck tonight and we shared some stress free banter. Think you would like him. Did say I would look him up tomorrow and hoping someone will tell him I'm missing in action for a bit. I will look in my email for news from you and give myself a nice big job list to refocus my mind again. Mate do you know what the audit they have is about. If I dont get to chat with them. Regardless, they do a cool job. Thats for you tideisturning and all the others. But you need a suggestion box. So thats my official reply to hand in. and no strings.

Gardener coming to help with septic reed beds and a good yack. and the girls here will straighten me out. so will miss you my friend but things sometimes have a way of ending up ok. Feels like we've been mates forever. So news , news , news.. send me all your news please. and let me know how the others are doing to. OH @TideisTurning wanted that poem i sent you and a school assignment complete with apple on desk. I like teachers....missed out when i was younger. .

So I'm not wagging school. . . just being huckleberry Finn for a while. Bring you back some fish. Buy all, and hugs tonys M b 1

Sorry sophe for cramming all that in your letter. more I type, more it helps and Im getting a bit faster too. Its amazing how well you pay attention when someones standing over you with a wooden spoon... O K going Buy all luv ya tonys moon base 1

Hello @tonys

I really do feel for you

I am reeling myself from reading the debacle on that thread..

The underlying tone and menacing vibe.

Your words:

and from what I read today I dont think there is a way to escape this guy apart from me going for I'm not sure how long, when I have asked someone nicely to leave me alone, they usually do.

which part of me thinks is O K because i really think this guy needs to be on here more than me maybe. back to looking for another place to role the swag, but if I find one I will duck back to let you know where I am at and who knows maybe we can chat there, and i will come back here if things settle.

If you are needing a break from the forums yes I agree take one...Most eventually do..

This can be a tough ground to navigate and there are many personalities who want to head the playground.

People can get inside your head unfortunately that is the vibe that I picked up. Walk away.....

Your new friend Le Chuck has started a new thread.

I do not think that you will be followed.
Tag a moderator to monitor if you visit Chuck's new thread.
No one person deserves more than another to be on the forums....lose that thought please...wooden spoon

You are still safe writing here.

I know that I am not on here daily that sadly is how I need to look after myself.

I have a small gift for you that I will hopefully be able to manage to achieve to add.

Watch out for my next post to you.

your friend Sophia1

Just for you @tonys

You are my friend because of who you are now

Please do not change yourself because of someone else's jealousy of the joy you bring to others.

@tonys

My lack of techno skills shone clearly as usual..

That was meant to include:

Where is my roadrunner now?😁

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 hey there, mate , thanks for trying to cheer me up. Unfortunate the ones i was referring to got taken down pretty quick. and then one went up about midday today that was the last straw for me And I really wanted people to see what this person wrote so they would see the manipulation in It. It was only up for about 20 min or so. I took some pics of It. Will hopefully catch you on another site one day. Not quitting but its going to be a long while I think before I can come back.

any way Lets put It aside.. So I hope you are well and I do hope some how the forces that make this planet turn bring your boy back to you.

Hopefully folks will get why I can respond for a while, and I have made a big list of things to do to keep my mind of it. I think my guitar is going to take me by the hand to the city and Ill leave the lap top at home, so last letter is to you. but for sure we will chat again. Do take care my loyal very resilient trooper. @Sophia1 tonys moon base 1

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hey there @Sophia1 @tonys Just dropping in some love and understanding for you both. I appreciate both of you and love the good hearted conversation and humour you both bring as well as the harder stuff you both deal with. The forums are better for having you both share your experiences 💖

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @tonys

only just saw your reply..

This is not justice…

You should have received correspondence from Sane advising you that offending posts from that thread were taken down..

I am very unhappy about this outcome..

You can get your bookkeeper to write a letter about how you do not feel supported.

There is a complaints and feedback section..

They are asking for feedback

Do not let anyone take away your right as a human being to stand up and express that you need to be treated with respect.

Thank you for all of your support and mentioning my son.

Your understanding the pain that accompanies having a son missing.

Take care my friend perhaps you might meet him one day…..

always your friend Sophia1

Not sure that I will stay much longer myself..

Not happy with the minimal level of monitoring posts these days..

@tonys

You missed our friend the roadrunner that I sent you

In response to: Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 Hi sophia hope you are well and making some progress with personal matters and your son. This is just a quick pop in let you know im ok. well getting better.

You gave me an idea that I gave some thought to and was hoping to chat with you about when you have some time. Sane have been in touch and I have to say they have been very supportive, so although it was 10 steps back it was one step forward again and I'll take any progress I can get. Now only come back when you have time, I know you have a full boot and an empty tank, so take good care.

Miss ya my friend.
