QM - you have never done anything to get banned.  Do you believe Fanny's post a couple pages back to be OK?  I had no intention of banning Fanny after I banned CC until Fanny made that post.  CC absolutely deserved to be banned and was given many chances.  Fanny pushed it too far with that last post of hers.  I wish Fanny the best, I can no longer deal with her pouting.

Klaas, honestly I can't say I thought her post was ok, but I guess it depends on how you look at it too. I thought that she was just venting. I understand others may have felt otherwise, that's just the way it goes I guess. I do really wish she would have taken a little more time to think more before she posted. I almost felt as though I was reading a post written by someone else, it just didn't seem like Fanny was writing it. So I have to say I wish she hadn't wrote it, atleast not in the way she did. I want to be honest here is all, like I said I did like Fanny and I don't want to be an odd man out now. But, I'm not going to pretend I didn't like her now just because she is gone.

Thanks to all of you for your kind words. I hate conflict, but had bit my tongue as long as I could. I am having a bad day with pain and that post of hers was my last straw.

Darla, I am sorry to read you are having a bad day with pain....I hope you get relief quickly

[no rose colored glasses]

I can't wait to try that fudge, and tomorrow I will be making the saltine treat recipe that Northern posted in JSM's thread, it was a favorite of mine when my mom made it when I was a kid. She used graham crackers instead, but I'm going with Northern's recipe 

[SunnyinTX]

Trimm:     Always good to see you, too.  Hugs to you.

Northern Rose:    Joy and peace to you and yours, too.  (Lentil soup, yum.)

QuietMonkey:     So glad you are sticking around.  It will all be okay.

Darla:     Hope you feel better soon.

Sunny:     Amen, Sistah.

Klaas:  You ROCK.  Thank you for ALL you do for SM.     


Bye all, gotta run do Christmas-y stuff.  See ya later.

Desi, I hope you will stay down out of the rafters now.  When you have a moment check Caylee's thread please.....I am trying to get more info on the report/brief Lenamon wrote and I need some help!!!

Where is NR recipe you mentioned?  I hope it is also in the recipe thread?  or please post it here or tell me where I can find it in NR thread

[QuietMonkey]

Desi, I just want to say I am happy to see you. I have missed you and your posts too!

[darla]

Quiet Monkey....I have the utmost respect for you and have always enjoyed your post. Especially all of the cute little smileys. I hate that you got caught in the middle of the mess with me and Fanny. Your post is not what upset me that day but the post after yours that Fanny said "she thinks she is". I really do not watch SNL, I always thought it was stupid and not really all that funny. I hope that we can remain as friends. I really like you and I don't expect you to turn on your friend if that is the way you feel. Can we just be here for the children?

I marked it on my notebook here, it is on page 61 in JSM's thread, I don't know if it is the the recipe thread.

Thank you Sunny, I live in pain daily, but today has been really bad The nerves are so irritated from being pinched that just my clothes brushing across the skin sends pain all over.The cold wet weather just puts me in extra misery. I have 2 ruptured disk and can't get anything done for another month. They put me on Plavix after my MI in August and I can't come off of it for another month long enough to have surgery . My spine is just in a mess and this will be my seventh back and neck surgery. Every time they fix one rupture another goes bad. So please keep me in your prayers that I can make it another month.

Darla, thank you. I was sure we were both ok with each other. But I got even more upset that day when ANJ (who I always had liked also) came with her post about Fanny, and mentioned about her "gang". I felt that was so wrong and uncalled for. It wasn't till several days later that I went back and saw ANJ got banned. I was not happy to see that either (or CC & now Fanny). It just seems like so many Monkeys keep biting the dust. I'm definitely glad I'm not a mod, because I probably wouldn't be a good one. These are boards for missing children/adults but I recognize that people do get to "know each other" in the process. When that happens, it becomes sort of like a family, in a way. When you have families (or friends), you have personalities come into play. Sometimes they clash, sometimes they misunderstand, and sometimes things get "personal" and feelings get hurt. I think it's just unavoidable really, and I'm sure it happens on every message board out there. There are two sides to every story too and no one could argue that, I think? I'm just not sure what else I could say. I did like Fanny, and other Monkeys that have been banned (no, not Dolce) even though I've never met any of them personally.

Thanks nrcg...I will check it out...I love having new recipes instead of serving the same ones over and over....

Darla....I know what back pain is about... fell 6 feet off a ladder and fractured 4 verts 4 yrs. ago and was in a back brace for nearly a year. I can't imagine have one after another rupture....  Oh goodness...you have to wait a month?  Bless your heart.....you just went to the top of my prayer list with Tevye and a few others. 

[no rose colored glasses]

Darla you are in my thoughts and prayers  Sunny what a horrible accident and having to be in a back brace for a year, how awful

It was not pleasant......but I did exactly what the doctors said to do as I didn't want to have surgery.
