Guest guest Posted July 26, 2000 Report Share Posted July 26, 2000 Way to go Cher!!!! From one baby boomer to another, I like you, have spent the whole half century being sick and feeling bad. After September 6th, I am going to live for the first time in my life. And I am looking forward to it. It's like that first half of my life has been wasted. I plan to make up for time lost. You take care and may God bless you is my prayer. (waiting to start a new life) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just loveeeee getting on here and seeing a post and someone is being so nice to me!! I guess when you've spent your whole life feeling ostracized (sp)? by people, to finally have camaraderie with so many who feel the same pain, tears, joy and thrills that every approval brings it makes every day better!!! I finally feel for the first time in my life total acceptance and that's something I only had with my immediate family. I now feel I have this huge wonderful extended family and I love it!!!!!

But, wow, your letter just gave me a shock. It made me realize that 2.5 months ago (pre-MGB), I would have been drooling over the list of stuff you posted. I just looked at it now and wondered why it ever seemed all that enticing to me. What a profound change! Steak and potatoes used to call my name. Just a few minutes ago, I just put half a bowl of soup in the fridge because I was already full. I have snacks sitting around *UNOPENED* on top the fridge and in the cabinets. UNOPENED. I have leftover snacks that I *don't finish.* I just have to shake my head in amazement. This is *me*?? It is so hard to believe. So we've gotta get you there. You're going to be amazed, too. What is causing the hold up for you? I seem to have missed your original post. Kind regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
