Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Mike I am not saying uproot the group.

Yes we could do a chat on msn for the nasty monster. I want to be here I want you all to be here for me. I just want a place that I can go to and say hey has anybody tried green beans and kidney beans together..There are so many bad people out there that I thought if we had a safe haven of our friends from here we could be more comfy chatting. Also maybe with our name on Facebook more people will join us here. > > On facebook firat there nothing wrong with it.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 There is know reason why we can't talk about recipes or anything like that on here either, I beleive like Mike says it will draw to many members away and to many new members will go there instead of coming here to get the main info they are look for. Maybe Mike and the Group Moderators can come up with something like make different topics like " What you all eatin for dinner tonight " you know stuff like that. You yourself can open a chat time on MSN and talk to all kinds of people at once by opening a chat room. This site took time to set up, we can't just say ok we will just all move over to this place and start over Mike has put allot of time into it you know.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hi all, I guess I was under the impression(sp) that we needed to stick to the subject of our pain SCS etc. If we are able to be open and share more beyond the pain then hey I am all for it. I was just looking for a way to help bring us all closer as a family by including our family and lives into this picture. You have all done so much for me and been there for me with my questions that I want to share and know more about all of you that you are willing to share. Like I stated and maybe have OT topics to break it up sometimes. > > > > > > On facebook firat there nothing wrong with it.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Sue, I have run an RSD support group for 10+ years now. We have always discussed just about anything and everything under the sun. However, through those years I know that many of our members communicate privately through emails and instant messages. For a time we had a private chat room but little response. Today I know that many of our members are on Facebook or other sites, that is their business. What people do in the private lives is none of my business and does not pose any threat to our support group. I do not understand why you are so worried about a group of your members letting each other know that they all also belong to Facebook. Let them discuss their pros/cons, ups and downs with their SCS on your board and how old their kids are or what they watch on TV in Facebook. It is not going to affect either site.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Hey Kathy! I have reading all these posts on the Face Book idea presented by . I absolutley agree with Mike that we will not uproot our group to go to face book, but I don't think that this is 's intention at all. It will be a great idea for chatting. In fact, it will take some of the off topic areas where alot of the members have said is hard to keep up with. In NO way, shape or form am I saying that our group is soley for pain issues, Mike and I do not feel that way. But, it would be great to have a chat line...open ONLY to us...as has said...a closed face book. I just got back from Vacation and before that one hell of a few painful weeks....so I have about 1000 messages to review. I will chat with Mike about all this, and then I will get back to you.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 It's strange that I had just created this stationary, when Marty stated that he didn't think politics should be on this group. And that is ok, Marty. I hope it won't irritate you very much Marty, because I do, up to a point. The laws control the knowledge in this country (and around the world), that affects our foods, our environment, our medical world and so much more. If we are not aware of the truth, then we cannot make our wants known to the politicians, and hopefully get only the good laws passed. And the Truths are critical to our health and well being. How many people in the world think that food labels contain all of the ingredients? They don't in most countries, including the USA. Also, the ingredients are sometimes labeled with a new name to misguide us. Without the laws that are being considered right now, genetically modified food products ingredients will not be put on labels. ly, I want to know if there are any genetically modified ingredients in my food. As most know, in the USA and some other countries, herbal supplements are being ousted by pharmaceutical companies through politicians passing new laws. Vaccinations which can be harmful, have become mandated through laws in some of the states, here in the USA. Now do you understand why I say, discussing politics are good up to a point. No, I do not want this group to become a political discussion group. But I do want everyone to know what is going on in the political scene. It's crucial to our health. And unfortunately, a lot of it, is not in the news. If it is, we are not necessarily getting the whole truth, either. Therefore I will still be posting articles or petitions that is crucial to our well being. Blessings and Love to All. Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 This is the way I see it, I don't want members of the group to feel that this group is a right wing or left wing group. You know, not that every one on this group is from the USA. Here in the USA we are polarized by republicans, democrats, then we have our independents. That is where I think we can draw the line. We don't want feelings hurt, and unfortunately feelings do get hurt, because people feel that we may be picking on a certain party.I for one would not do that, I stand for the truth either way. I even became a republican back in the last election so that I could vote for Ron in the primaries. Then I went back to being a democrat to vote for Obama. And I didn't think that he would be the miracle candidate.There are so many things broken here in the USA. How could one man do more than what his puppet masters let him? In a sense because of this a lot of people have seen the light. They see that it doesn't matter what party the president comes from, it's all the same. They can only do what is allowed. If our voices are being heard by our representatives because we made a big noise then we would be getting some where. But we are very occupied by life, aren't we? We are busy, kept busy and by the time we have the time to do anything worth while, we are doing some R & R. We are stressed out so true isn't it?I hear that writing letter by snail mail really helps, our senators adhere to that, same with calling in to Washington and telling our reps what we want. I have done both.For me health issues have always been my top priority. Its very important to me what I eat and purchase at the grocery store. I have learned years ago to read labels. Now that I know about GMO foods I am tending to buy organic mostly. I bake with organic flours and sugars too.I would think that we have been duped, why? we have so many allergies now and cancers, we are riddled with chemicals from every which way we turn, from the air we breathe to the water we drink, and then the foods we eat and the drugs that they push on us, through advertising on tv, magazines, and then you get some more when you go see your physician that you want to trust. All this is political. No doubt. If wall street stocks go up and down by consumer-ism, if then Obama gives a speech on war, and the stock market goes up or down, it is all tied in to one another.You know that there are people that make money on disasters? Same with the stock market, same with the housing crisis, same with people getting sick from vaccinations, or from their diet, or where they work.Corporations make profits from wars, that is why we are still in wars. Banks make a heap of money on wars, the blood of our sons and daughters. For me war is not a political issue, its a money making issue. We want to spread democracy unto nations that are religious, why? because we want them to buy Mc's hamburgers, we want them to buy sony TV's, we want them to be American-ized. It sickens me to no end.So on that note, I will continue what I do for the group, the same as always.Blessings,MicheleFrom: Joyce Hudson <bjoyful@...>Subject: [ ] My View Date: Monday, June 28, 2010, 12:33 PM It's strange that I had just created this stationary, when Marty stated that he didn't think politics should be on this group.
