Ahhh.. who cares about the experiment.

Those who will listen.... listen.

Those who won't.... won't.

CHANGING'S BACK! Very Happy

Lighter

How in the world did you know before Changes changed back to Changing?  Why would you need to make that announcement?  Why isn't it enough for Changes/Changing to speak for themselves?

They say that if you want to be strong, you must lift heavy burdens, and if you want to be patient, you must be pushed to the limit, and if you want peace, you have to learn to deal with equanimity in distressing circumstances!!!!

Things are not the way I would like them to be always, but it is definitely true- I guess I have to learn to let go, even if my nature rails against it... I am no adept or wise person, but I have gotten this far, anyway...


These are genuine jewels, Changing.
Thanks for sharing!

Love,
Carolyn

Dear Changing I am so glad you are well and have come back to share here on the board.  I missed your light a lot and was very worried and am so glad to be able to let that worry go. 

How is school going??

Changing.... just ask that those members not address you again.

Dr. Grossman will help them control themselves.... if they have trouble managing.

I'm appalled that your can't just come back and receive fellowship during this time of great fear under siege.

It's more than childish behavior we're seeing.

Let it go and ignore.

Ask they stop posting to you.

ah... Changing - I am glad you are back. I've missed your positive spirit that has shown through the most trying circumstances.

Dear Changing,

First and foremost - I am very glad you are back.  It is a pleasure to read you.

I had no intentions of responding to any of this; however, when I read this, I could not help but disagree:

You said:  "I know that Lighter and Finding Peace do not deserve to be tainted by the inference that they could be the lowly Changing."

I have said it before that you are one of the most gracious people I have ever known, and I still feel that way.

I am actually honored to be thought of as one such as you - and only hope I can reach that level of grace one day.

Very glad to see you here.

(((((Changing)))))))

Love,
Peace

Dear Changing, I hope that my reference to missing 'your light' did not offend you.  I meant only that I considered your presence a light on this board and I looked forward to reading you posts.  No subtext.  If you are offended by that wording, I apologize.

In Native American cultures and in modern cultures such as the Japanese, who are sorely crowded together, elaborate manners serve to make functioning together more pleasant and provide the "space" required for human dignity (there is a societal-wide respect for boundaries as fragile as a shoji screen)There is room here for everyone to enjoy!!!!

Changing

Dear Changing,


I will never forget this image you've given, of the fragile screen as a picture of boundaries...  I never knew what they were called, but have always admired them, so delicate and lovely.
Now I can better understand your ways, and it's beautiful...  can't say I've ever known anyone with skin on them who treats others with more genuine dignity and respect

Thank you for setting such an excellent example of grace under fire... and thank you for setting of firm boundaries to guard yourself, rather than just giving up and leaving.

With love,
Carolyn

Welcome back, changing,

I realize I haven't said that yet! I was busy reading posts and becoming befuddled. So Welcome Back!!

I am as usual, as when you dropped out of sight, but more of a lurker now.

I've been reading about your accomplishments and say congrats to you! and keep on keeping on!

I sold 225 DVDs for $1.00 each= $225.00 for which I had paid, on an average, $10.00 = $2,250.00. Some lo$$, but I gained 2 large file drawers in my desk and a place to go online to watch movies FREE. I am now not addicted to buying DVDs. Before? I couldn't pass a display without at least looking, and usually there was something I hadn't seen, so pull out the Debit Card! So this is what you call izzifying, and I sold one of my computers, so I could buy a new one, but am loving my big desk with just one. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Are you living in the same place attending the same schoo;l etc.? I read about no personal posting.
Love
Izzy

Izzy-

I LOVE that idea. More Izzyfying and money too!!! I don't have a TV and I adore having the internet again- I saw "the Searchers ' recently- lots of nuance, the setler's wife had obviously slept with the brother, etc, and the youngest children seemed to be his...

I would be so happy to sell my excess stuff!!!

Love You,

Changing

Like changing hasn't got enough to deal with; now she has to answer these schoolyard imbecilities.
What the heck is the matter with people?

PS. Think you're wrong on The Searchers though changing. Ethan had been away during the war and for several years afterward when apparently he was an outlaw. Seemed he was in unrequited love with his SIL and envious of the family he didn't have. That's my take anyway. The supreme western IMO.

I do not get this.  If Changing found her password then why in the world would anyone think it was not her??
