Read your info re: feeling inferior. I'm amazed that people who are 50, 60......are still feeling badly from parental treatment. So sad. Learned from counselors over the years (among other places oft quoted) that you can choose your "family." It doesn't have to be flesh & blood; just friends who love you; accept you, warts & all; & share in your joys & sorrows. Whether that's a male or female, straight or gay, relative or friend.......we need to "stop going to a dry well" & find those who'll lift us up with love. I've tried to do that in my adulthood & even more so after divorce following 30 years of marriage, since I didn't realize the negativity involved there as well. Looking for friends, perhaps will find someone special again, who knows? Any way to find out what part of the country/world people are in? I guess just checking their profiles, eh? I'd love to hear you fiddle. Are you living where you grew up, or elsewhere? I was born in TX (when my dad was going to school), moved to MI, where I lived until I was around 30, then moved to OK, NJ, PA, IL & back to TX. And here I'll stay, since I LOOOOOOOOOOVE the winters--especially being up north! Sue
This is my first post here. Was drawn to Fiddler Lady because I LOOOOOVE fiddle music! (Familiar with the young group Old Crow Medicine Show? Saw them on PBS I just LOVE them. What a talented group of youngin's!) Even tho' born in TX, I was raised a Yankee & got back here as soon as I could! At 57, I JUST started taking clogging lessons with a group of local women & I absolutely love it! Glad to be here with this group & look forward to getting to know everybody. Sue
I am so glad you like the new site - we are still working on some updates. If you have any questions or problems, we have created an area under Community Help Group to tackle these and keep everyone updated. We hope you will join this group. You cannot edit or delete YET, this is coming very soon.
I finally made the trip, but I had to alter my alter-ego to do it! I hope that doesn't cause nightmares. *ahahah* Do you have instructions on how to block an individual, and how to delete a thread?
Both lads are much better. Thom has accepted our insurance company's 'advocacy' program where they teach HIM how to live a long life with his diabetes. Paul will go along with him. ;-)) Life's nice. (( hugs ))
