Hi Bones,

Sorry that you are having aching bones. Me too and it sucks.

As for telling the N to shut up, I wished I was there to see that. Good for you. So often they end up sabotaging a group and
ruining it completely as everyone backs off because they cant stand it. It takes such courage to call it for what it is.
Oddly, this makes the person who does it kind of a scapegoat and they feel fear for doing this. Well, it would be lovely if
there was a movement to stop this monopolizing behaviour. For all the groups of people who get together for support and for everyone.

Hope the holiday or passover is going ok for you.

Thanks, Sea Storm!

I was getting ready to quit the group because of the monopolizing and I finally decided, before I quit, I need to say SOMETHING!

Hi Bones,

I am happy you found your voice. Better to find a group that nurtures you.

Love,

Mr. Birdbrain was here yesterday and I didn't want him reading over my shoulder while acknowledging your messages to me, Sea Storm.

As it turned out, I didn't need to quit the group after all.  When I spoke up about the monopolizing, I saw expressions of relief on the faces of everyone else and they chimed in about how they felt about the monopolizing.  The only response we got from Mr. N was the "glassy-eyed blank stare", (sound familiar anyone?).  Then he says, "I think I'll go and get some dessert!"  When he walked over to the dessert station, even his own brother breathed a sigh of relief!

It appears my outburst gave everyone else in the group permission to say something...FINALLY!

Yesterday was a WARM Spring day so went outside to explore the area.  One of the places around here is a very old cemetery that dates back to the early 1800's.  Took some notes about it and plan to share them on various genealogical websites to see if they have any descendants searching for them.  One never knows!
