Subject: cheryl-yeah, again.
Message: ladies,
i take my friendships very seriously and have had most of my friends for decades now. my mother raised a kind, caring, good-hearted southern girl, who doesn't like it when she feels her friends are being talked about behind their backs. barbara and i were raised with many of the same values and opinions. maybe it's just a "southern thing", i don't know. i really am here to offer advice when i can and will always listen to the other side. but, i do call the kettle black and don't hold back. life is too short to not be there for your friends. i really do enjoy this site, always have. it's performed miracles for me with the formula, the support, and the laughter and sometimes the anger. words on a page, i realize, can be flat, and mistakes can be made,but more often than not they are very honest. we are all real people here with real feelings and real lives. lets never forget that.

Message: Next to Teresa Cerone, (Terry) to those of us privileged enough to call her friend, you are my favorite New Yorker. I am honored to have you here and to call you my friend.
Just because the words are flat does not mean you can't get the gist of the matter. And I meant what I said earlier. It just seems amiss that all of the problems have IN FACT centered on her postings. So that is not going to effect us any more.
Moi and I spoke on the phone a little while ago and have agreed that from now on, that invisible person will not be our topic of conversation, and she will not become the the bane of our existence. So you please continue to be you, I love the person you are.

Message: Cheryl - many of the things you wrote about yourself, I could write about myself. I, too, am a kind, caring and good heart southern woman. I have worked many, many years in the retail and restaurant business where I hold a degree in Business Management, which I obtained after serving 4 years in the Marine Corps. My husband, who served 18 years in the Marine Corps, now works for Delta Airlines here in Atlanta. I value my family and I value my friendships from all over the world due to our military connections. I, too, agree that life is too short not to be there for your family and friends. I love to travel, as you put it, because I can (I believe I read that you like to travel in an earlier post). I, like you, enjoy this site and as I stated in an earlier post - have learned alot. I have shared alot from this site with many people I know. I have enjoyed using the product - even though it's been only 8 days. It has not performed the miracle on my nails that you say it has on yours - but I have fairly good nails to begin with. I have been acrylic free for over 3 years. I have no problem with taking my part of the responsibility for the way things ended up on this forum - but I did take offense to having what I said on another public forum distorted and twisted into something that was so way off base. You said we are real people with real feelings and real lives. Well, I too am a real person with real feeling and a real life and with real opinions. I just didn't feel like I was treated that way - some of it maybe earned, most of it was not. I, too, call the kettle black and don't hold back when I feel that I am being pushed around for something that I never really did. I will never post hearsay and my opinions will always be that of my own - honest feelings, whether about the results I am seeing or the kind of day I am having. I just thought you should know. Debra

Message: Truce? Could this be..........just kidding!!
As for showing a slice of life, that is the way I was raised. My husband has only been with Delta for 7 years, this past April. I am sure that there are tough times ahead for many, as the airline industry touches many lives, both directly and indirectly. We sold our house over the summer and became completely debt free for the first time in a very long time. Debt free and military aren't words that are usually used in the same sentence....lol So, we are prepared for the worst, whatever that is. But so many of our friends are not. I am a firm believer that those who have enough faith will be provided for. Okay - I better stop - I don't want to offend someone else....lol
Anyway, I will probably not be on the boards for a day or so. My boss is taking my husband and I to Honolulu for 5 days. It's actually a company meeting, but I can pretend it's a Hawaiian vacation.
Truce, indeed. Debra

Message: Good morning cheryl,
Broke my nails, 8 of those suckers.....Long story short, I am a clutz and my 115 pound male shepherd is quick!
Just wanted to touch base before the day get really wound up.
I can not believe it is going to be 85 degrees here again today.
When the mercury finally drops, 60 will seem too cold!
