Guest guest Posted September 17, 2001 Report Share Posted September 17, 2001 Pamela, i am very sorry if you feel put off by folks on this list in anyway. in my experience on this list (it has been only 7 months) i have spoke with some very nice folks. i think the biggest problem with any type of e-mail stuff is not actually seeing a person's face or knowing them which takes time to know what makes folks tick. and somethings tick folks off like the preservative debate (if there was a natutral preservative we would all use it and would not deny it so don't believe anyone who says there is one they are either misinformed or well i'll go with misinformed and the beeswax debate vegan or not to be vegan (i suppose if a person is a vegan they get to make the rules which makes sense they live by them or the dreaded raindrop therapy (applying essential oils neat) i use cajeput neat on fire ant bites but it is not recommended anyone use oils neat period. well i say all this to say the folks who get *heated* (if that is the right wording) do so for many reason's one being they believe feircely in their positons. this is not a sugar and spice list it is the truth alot of smiles and oddles of humble help very knowledgeable people are on this list i am not one of them i only know why i like them all stay a while and i am sure you will too-ttfn-tamika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 Done, finally! That thing is moving slower than a snail crossing molassas in a Vermong winter! At first I couldn't even get the link in the post to work. Went through the one at the Group Home page, and it STILL took forever. I haven't gotten the last question to go through yet :/ K.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 > Done, finally! That thing is moving slower than a snail crossing With hopefully thousands of faithful users writing in to complain, it's sure to be slow! I wish they would just leave things alone. Every time tries to " improve " things, they get worse. Remember about 2 years ago they announced they would set lists up with no ads if they sent in a yearly $65 fee? I belonged to a few lists that did collect the money and send it in. That lasted about 6 months before decided to change policies again and put ads on all list mails. People who paid wanted a refund for the remainder of the subscription year but were refused. I'm afraid something like that would happen again. Out of the three free servers I have lists on, I *do* prefer - it's easier to use and offers the most. If they did delete all the files and archives, it would be such a shame. So ladies, if you see a message posted with info you would like to save to refer back to in the future, save it NOW to your hard drive.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 nne I meant to add a notation before sending that attachment. This is one of the emails that "got lost" in yesterday's mail. I had been working on that little "explaination" for a while but haven't displayed it anywheres yet. I want all of you girls to give me your honest opinion and any possible changes before I use it. I wasn't sure whether to make a small sign to display with my products at stores or to print them on card stock & have them go in the customer's bag when they purchased anything. So girls.....let me hear what you think. I value all your opinions whether you agree or not agree. ... that's cool! Dear , Thanks for passing along what you wrote. Do you display that somewhere next to your soap display, or do you include inside the bag with your soaps? Or how do you get that information to your customers? Thanks so much, ~nneVisit my Weblog: http://lvjensen.blogspot.com/ Our Message Boardhttp://www.voy.com/21568/Check out these great Molds!!http://soapwerks.com/martinworld.htmMember Kae's Site...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 Hmm ... I think that your description sounds very good, and I would say that either making a small sign to display or printing the message on card stock and adding them to the customer's bag would be good ... I think that if you put them into the bags, they would be more likely to read them ... or what about doing both? Is that too much, though? Thanks for asking our opinions ... I think that your wording sounds great! ~nne :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Thank you all so very much for your responses to my email about Irwin. He's still hospitalized and has been put into a brace, flat on his back, still in much pain and discomfort....The doctor says that he will go home as soon as a hospital bed is in his home and that he will be flat on his back for about 3 weeks if the surgery is successful. Keep the prayers coming... Thanks again and I will keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 II am so sorry for your loss and to not have your sister around is so difficult. I have a sister that is 3 years older and is often very sickly and has nearly died several times. I think many times about what I wouldn't do without calling or e-mailing everyday and I strongly believe in that I lost my Mom when I was 16 and she was only 47 that you have got to go on in things that would make a difference because of their lives. My Mom had a brain tumor and my son has epilepsy and I am trying hard to support others that are going through this. We feel the pain so raw and deep right now and with each thing that someone does that is just like your sister you will feel great joy and pain. When you want to visit her, visit through photos and memories. I no longer live where my Mom died so I don't get to visit her grave site but I do visit her daily in prayer and look for guidance from my parents fromup above. They have gotten me through some difficult times. I hope that this helps a little. and know that we will be here to listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 So sorry to hear of your great loss. I cannot even imagine? One thing....and bear this in mind? Menalomas are often of stealth virus origin. I wonder if they could take a sample of the cancer and send it off to Dr of CCID? www.ccid.org .

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Dear , I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my father to cancer this June, and understand how it feels to lose the family member who understands your pain the best. There aren't any words that can make your hurt go away, but I hope it helps you to know that I care, and in some small way understand.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Not to sound cynical, but our private medical information is already on computer. They can get it anyway. I think they're just looking for a legal way to cover their asses just in case some one inadvertently stumbles upon the truth.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 I hesitate to respond, but... Just be careful that you are not projecting insecurities onto your child that would never occur to him. My mom was always concerned about my appearance. I grew up thinking I wans't pretty enough/perfect enough b/c my mom was always obsessing about something she thought wasn't " right " which, generally speaking, wasn't an issue until she made it one. She always wished we could fix this or that. I think she THOUGHT I was too young to be listening to her talk to other adults or that when she talked to my parent's friends, grandparents, etc it wouldn't get back to me. It ALWAYS did. I don't think she ever realized how toxic her attitude was (she was just trying, like you, to be a good mom) and didn't realize how young children internalize these things. After the ear surgery, I was teased a lot more about the bandages and having to sleep with nylons on my head than I ever was b/c my ears stuck out. For YEARS afterwards, it was a big deal. I think a lot of my friend's parents were alarmed and said things in front of their children which the kids, in turn, brought to the school yard. This isn't to say you didn't do the right thing, I don't know your child, just be careful. At 6, there isn't much you can do about his headshape. I wish my mom had taught me to value the quirks that made me different rather than planting seeds in my young mind (or other people's) that something was " off. " Look at , , etc... many people have imperfect features which, with the right attiude, are beautiful. My daugher was born with scapocephaly. Even after 2 DOC bands, she has quite a bit of facial asymmetry. One eye is bigger than the other. One side of her forehead bosses out a little more than the other... I will NEVER let her know I see it as a problem. If there is only mild asymmetry, let it go. Look for what is right, not what is wrong.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I have to agree with . My self-esteem was affected somewhat by my mother, who although a very loving person, could be critical as she was a perfectionist. My son Connor, who received good correction with his helmet, still has facial assymetry especially in his jaw line , left ear and side of his head. Although his jaw is something that will require a doctor to follow his growth, the difference in the side of his head and his ear most likely will never be completely better. I know that I don't want to make him feel like he is different and don't want to point it out as a problem. It's natural to want your child to be perfect, but the truth is that none of us are perfect. From what you describe I think it's unlikely that most people will notice the difference in his ears and from what you said he's a cute boy. We, as parents, I think notice things that others don't. I know it can be hard, but try not to worry about it so much.
