I would like to extend my thank you to Shawn for giving me the opportunity to advocate for a powerful subject close to my heart! It means alot to me to have yours and Steve's support! I will do my best to help with this site in anyway I can and give my best to my forum! I am very excited to have a forum here and to be a part of this site Thank you again for letting me continue my dream!
                                                          Love Always,
                                                            Chrissy

                                                                   

You are beautiful, Chrissy; eternally and altogether lovely.  Let the conversation continue!  This is the day upon which my mother was born in 1934, January 24th.  She passed away on November 23rd, 1998.  She was a disabled person, as am I.  I was in the process of passing away for the last two and a half months, with the same pneumonia which took my mother and later my dearest, sweetest Grandma on November 8th of 2001.  But I am getting well now.  It is all very strange; I was really supposed to die--the pneumonia was the killer strain which is completely resistant to all treatment, and which ends the purgatory of the nursing home routinely--but I didn't.  But I have been supposed to die before.  I have this annoying habit of resurrection.  For example, the recent nonsense involving a miniature webmaster in Columbus, Ohio, an anal retentive who believes me to be, quite simply, the Antichrist, the Beast, 666.  I think he might have an exaggerated sense of my cosmic importance...  In any case, here I am...  Living well is the best revenge, and laughing last is laughing best.  And I am laughing now.

I second that thanks to Shawn! I am absolutely THRILLED to have the abuse forum here. I know it will help make this site grow and grow! Along with Chrissy, +Steve, and all the loyal members to our site here, things are just going to take off!
I love it here, and I am so thankful for you, Shawn!

As for what you said, +Steve, YES...living well IS the best revenge! I believe that with all my heart!

Love to all, Dara

I love you, Dara, with all my heart, forever and ever.  I never could have made it this far without you.  And here we are, together.  There are no words to describe how much you mean to me.

Thank you, Chrissy and Dara, for your kind words and appreciation.  They mean a lot to me.  Let me say, in turn, that both of your boards are over important topics, and I think it's admirable what you're doing, and will do what I can to facilitate your objective of helping others.  If ever there's anything either of you needs or wants, and that's within my power to do, please don't hesitate to ask, either privately or publicly, as it would be my pleasure to help in whatever way I can.   I'm really looking forward to seeng your boards grow, or as Steve might put more poetically, 'blossom'.  I'm hoping but am confident that my efforts to attract and direct more people to this forum will mean, among other things, that more people will derive benefits and will participate in your boards.   And I wish you both the best in your endeavors, both here and elsewhere.

best regards,

Shawn

It is great to see you hear too! I believe you left me some feedback on my poetry site but I wasn't sure it was you or not asking about the disabilties site at voices net or nut! whichever you may perfer....JJ deleted and banned me form the site so Dara being the great angel she is heavenely isn't she!? She invited me here and I have two new forums now one on 9/11 and my disabilities forum. Thanks to you for the wonderful comments about Steve and Dara they are two of the most caring and beautiful people I can know they have touched in so many ways but mostly by offering their kinds words and loving friendship! I love you all

Loves you

Chrissy,

Yes, it was me who left that feedback! I was upset to see your forum and the abuse forum disappear, and was wondering if something more sinister was occurring..... So glad to see (?) you again! People of love and support once more - what the world needs more of!

All the best,
Peta.
