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?
-
I am glad you are Finding Peace, Changing.
-
Welcome back Changing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May Bagworm go to H-E double toothpicks!

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 know that, now that you are back, my burden is lighter. Muchos, muchos, Blessings to You, Ami

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.
Lighter

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?
mud
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??

Possibly because admitting that Changing is really herself would mean admitting that the charges against Lighter were bogus and libelous.

Thank You Voice of Reason (Mudpuppy)-
I am sure you are right about Ethan and the timing (Civil War and some sort of renegade period resulting in the uncirculated dollars?) - but the lovely nuances and depths were definitely there and filled my heart.
Thank you again,
Changing

Hi changing
I used http://www.craiglist.com (http://www.craiglist.com)
When there, you click on your state then your city/area, whatever, and can advertise free.
I've heard that craiglist is worth millions more than ebay.
Mudpuppy
now she has to answer these schoolyard imbecilities.
What does this represent to you on this thread?
Izzy
-
I believe that he is referring to "you are Finding Peace" drivel and covert gibes that I am dead, not me, or many people, etc...
Hopefully, Dr. Grosman will intercede and have those posts removed and the rule of law prevail!!!
Love,
Changing

Hi Miss Izzy-
When you used Craigslist, was there any problem regarding payment, etc? Did you have numerous sales, or did a few buyers snap your items up?
Love,
Changing
-
but the lovely nuances and depths were definitely there and filled my heart.
Absolutely; that's why I rate it the best. Ethan is just as hateful throughout as Scar and at the end of the movie, despite regaining a little humanity by saving his niece, he's still outside looking in with the door closing on him. There's something new to see every time I watch it. John Ford had a wonderful ,subtle mind, which would surely get him banned from making movies these days.
Incidentally, anywhere I'm considered the voice of reason must be in pretty sad shape. :?

Izzy,
I wasn't referring to anything you said. Changing answered your Q perfectly with this;
I believe that he is referring to "you are Finding Peace" drivel and covert gibes that I am dead, not me, or many people, etc...

Thank you Voice of Reason (Mud) for your support and the correction/ thoughtful insight into "The Searchers"
Best,
Changing

No searching for me, merely acceptance of the following individual members:
Changing is Changing
Finding Peace is Finding Peace
Lighter is Lighter (who is a mother of 3 children)
Love to ((((((( everyone - each individual member )))))))

Not at all. I asked for Cash Only. You see, you are dealing with people right in your town and not countries away as in Ebay. They come to pick up, but you have a chance to get a handle on them when they first reply to a "funny craiglist email address' which contact arrives in your mailbox.
If you don't like the approach, that person still doesn't know where/who/why/what?????
I used my hotmail address.
i.e One dipstick read my ad to sell musical CDs for $1.00. He emailed me and asked me how much I was charging.....so even though I replied with "$1.00, as advertised", he left it alone for a week then responed with only "$1.00?" and I responded wtih only "Yes".
funny--never heard from him again.

Might I ask why you refer to yourself in the third person? I noticed it in many of your posts!

Hello Izzy-
I love that story about the "dipstick"- and I will get cracking on selling my extra stuff!!!
Thank you!!
Changing

Hey Changing,
Good to see your back. I haven't been on much very busy with my friends N kids for the weeks. Having a good time with them but getting a ear load and making me mad and sad. Little eyes on me so I won't say more.
Love
Deb.

Very quickly Izzy - because I did indicate, as in saying Goodnight, that I was off to bed.
Leah is Leah .... is in context of what I have written previously within the thread posting.
One cannot take a text out of context else, one ends up with a pretext.
Nothing more, nothing less, as it is, straightforwardly.
God Bless You, dear Izzy.
Love, Leah
Edit in: Yes, I did post previously, a couple of posts (NOT many) with a signature of ' Leah who is Leah ' ...... reason being, I was being treated in the exact same way as Changing,
I was being accused of being someone else, abused and maligned.
So, yes, I signed off as " Leah who is Leah "
