like gramms mention this is not the place for attacking or criticizing others
i totally agree with her
Oh Punky I saw "Flushed Away’ I loved it. I can’t wait to see “Ratatoulle”.
Okay I have found that sometimes getting away from those I know makes it easier to attempt new things and new attitudes, i suppose there is less fear of judgment and letting others down if I fail. I also find being around reassuring people that I trust makes new things much easier. Once I get some confidence and excitement going. I can keep going.
I know that it isn’t easy but you have to face your fears! It may feel like you are going to pass out, have a heart attack, whatever, but you are not. Keep going, do what you are doing and get through it! Once you have gotten through it, you can get through the next hurdle. Think how great you will feel, then things get easier and easier…
Getting away to try new things is a positive step, River, and I encourage you to do so 
I’ll encourage myself to do the same.
I can do things “easier” when I am with a loved one(s)… when I am alone, I struggle and can often talk myself out of going somewhere or doing something that would be good for me.
I think that’s why I often have to “reframe” my thoughts - because I shouldn’t (and often can’t) depend on having people with me to help, so I need to just do it myself FOR myself.
*Ratatouille is excellent, by the way! Very cute, sweet and funny. Listen for this part - it’s my favorite “Oh, I’m detecting some nuttiness!”

GRAMMS AS USUAL YOU ARE THE ONE WITH THE WISDOM. I REALLY DO HOPE WE CAN ALL GET BACK ON TRACK AND JUST MOVE ON THE PEACE TRAIN. LIFE IS WAY TO SHORT. ANOTHER ONE OF MY SONS FRIENDS DIED. THIS IS NUMBER 4 IN 8 MONTHS. DRUNK DRIVER HIT HIS CAR. YOU NEVER KNOW. THOSE OF US WHO HAVE CHILDREN AND EVEN THOSE WHO DON’T WE NEED TO CHERISH EVERY MOMENT CAUSE OUR LIVES CAN CHANGE IN A SECOND. ALL THE BICKERING AND NAME CALLING REALLY NEEDS TO STOP. REMEMBER THE SAYING IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY KEEP YOUR SORRY ASS MOUTH SHUT. WELL THAT’S MY VERSION. LEAVE LINDY ALONE AND STOP THE BS. THIS IS REALLY OUT OF CONTROL. THIS IS NOT WHAT CP IS FOR. A 22 YEAR OLD DIED BECAUSE OF SOMEONE WHO HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE ARGUING. IF YOU DON’T LIKE SOMEONE IGNORE THEM NO NEED TO POST NASTY THINGS. I WAS GOING TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT BUT I AM PRETTY MUCH DONE WITH THE BS FROM CERTAIN PEOPLE. SORRY IF I OFFENDED ANYONE ONE BUT THAT IS HOW I FEEL. IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO RESPOND TO THIS SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE. DON’T UPSET THE OTHER MEMBERS OF CP BY YOUR SARCASTIC, NASTY REMARKS.

this is suposed to be positive get back on your peace train Dreen and keep going don’t let her get to you you have much more important things to do like grieve for your sons friends tragic accident
I am out of here!! I am so tired of listening to people treating each other like crap. You should not be on a site entitled CAREPLACE if you cannot stop being so angry & spiteful & mean. I cannot begin to understand why you would rather be hateful than to learn how to make friendships. Shame on you for making this site bitter & angry.
PS: I will not give up on CP, I just give up on nasty people!
Wot what does I am out of here mean are you leaving I hope you don’t let the anger of others push you out of here
I certainly understand the way you feel, Wotthef, and you aren’t even the target! It gets old, real fast, doesn’t it? Keep reporting the posts, and hopefully, the powers that be at CarePlace will sooner or later take care of THE problem.
I REALLY HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO THIS FORUM FOR MY RESPONSE YESTERDAY. I WAS READING EVERYONES POSTS AND FELT HAPPY THEN I GOT THE PHONE CALL FROM MY SON. MY HAPPINESS TURNED TO ANGER AND SADNESS IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. WAS READING A CERTAIN RESPONSE WHICH I TOLD MYSELF I WAS NOT GOING TO GET INVOLVED BUT THE FINGERS STARTED TYPING AWAY. I COULDN’T HELP IT. I GUESS I JUST NEEDED TO GET OUT WHAT I WAS FEELING. AGAIN I DO APOLOGIZE TO YOU ALL EXCEPT WINNIE.
