Gwena: No I am not... stop telling me to stop complaining.... -.- I am not having a Thanksgiving... Stop telling me that I am saying something wrong, I am not... It is NOT Thanksgiving, not to me. Stop telling me that I need to be a certain way... -.-

it's okay i think you and SZP were chatting i wan't hurt or anything i just did other things i understand sometimes posts aren't seen and like i said i just try to respond to others posts most people reply if you quote them i do think if you quoted Gwena or tiggie and replied to their posts or asked them questions they would interact. it does take effort on everyone's part i'm not making excuses or apologizes for anyone i'm just saying what i see things to be i can't even remember what tabs i had opened i know i had two gifts almost purchased but i forget where i was buying them oh what a day |

Of course we would, hummy. That is what you do here, interact with others.
If you ask me something and I miss it, I'll catch it later or just ask again. It certainly doesn't mean I'm trying to ignore you, or anyone here. RAK is a happy place. [XD] @Gwena Thanks. Very much looking forward to it. |

I could of really done without the drama. [headdesk] I have an uncle who talks crap about the place I work at & then tells me I don't know what is going on there. I have worked there for over 15 years I think I have more of an idea then he does. He is one of those know it all type of people. We had been told the dinner was being changed to accommodate us...b.s...it was all done to accommodate the step-child of my cousin. If it was done to accommodate us then why would it of started when I was still at work. [stare] The step-child is a grown woman with children of her own. Her mother hasn't been married to my cousin in over 10 years, still not sure why things are done to accommodate them. My aunt would suddenly change plans on us for years after her son & that woman got divorced. Still have no idea why other than that woman gave them their only grandchild. I finally told my mom tonight that I have no intentions of going back there for Christmas. They are not my family & haven't treated us like family for most of my life. I am old enough to make my own decisions & make my own traditions. I choose to no longer waste my time or feelings on people that don't care about us. Really why would anyone want to spend time with people who only want you around on holidays. I don't live more than 15 minutes away from any of these relatives. I haven't seen or heard from any of them all year. I'm sorry you won't be able to be with your family on Thanksgiving, if nothing else be happy & thankful that you have family that you want to spend time with. Quote:
I'm more hoping for Halloween, not sure what year, but I'm keeping hope alive. I also told mom tonight that I want us to spend Christmas together. Just the 5 of us, I would be happy if it was 6, but I know she can't be here then. Adder & I both have to work the day after Christmas, but I told mom we could either do breakfast or lunch. Then she would have time left for her family if she wanted. :P Adder wasn't happy at this dinner either, he called to see if we were going & he wasn't going unless we went. |

she's a great kid, well not a kid anymore, but you know what i mean. Not sure what a "ninja" is, but if it makes cooking easier, it must be awesome. Love spiral sliced ham. @Damia It seems most every family has one of "those" relatives. |

Lord i don't get family like that most of my family is apart this holiday season i have no desire to drive 15 hours one way to listen to bitching only one of my mother's sisters helped after her brain surgery and strokes no flowers or cards or anything my cousin is getting out of jail this week so my Godmother is focused, rightly so, on him i told you i have a jerry springer kind of family i am awaiting my yearly phone call asking for money this year i unplugged my phone so it goes straight to voicemail i would say i'll trade you some family members but i wouldn't do that to my dear friend i think you did the best thing possible Christmas with just y'all is best their loss! |
Wow hummy, that's quite a bit going on.
We all have struggles, but we be thankful for what we have and do our best. I really regret not spending more time with my Mom before she died. I recently found out that my Father has been in the hospital since this past Sunday, and it doesn't look good. Luckily, he is a very stubborn man, so I an hoping he pulls out of it. |

Over cooked cold ham, it was hard as a brick. Very little turkey left, a little bit of mashed potatoes & then Mom goes save some for Adder. He was done with work almost 2 hours before I was today. He had time to eat. I didn't have time to even finish eating my waffle sandwich this morning. Miscreant had told them not to call me at work today so he had got a half dozen phone calls to see if we were coming over. Of course it was only my mom calling. I can't get the family to understand my work day is not over with until 6 pm. Once in a while I get done a little earlier, but not during this time of year. Then they plan a meal for 6 pm on a workday. I didn't get back into the office until right before 6 pm & then ended up waiting for a couple of the other ladies to come in because there was a suspicious guy wondering around the parking lot he had followed one of the other drivers to our office. The supervisor ended up in a loud discussion with him & finally told him to get out of our parking lot. I don't think any of us were having a very good day. Tomorrow Miscreant wants to go see his Grandmother. I told him it depends on the weather. It was snowing here for a while this morning. Grandma live over an hour north of us & they were the ones who was supposed to get the brunt of the storm. I can't go there & get stuck I have to work Friday. |

this isn't my business but i want to comment you want people to acknowledge you, not to make excuses or apologize, and i get that but if they have an opinion then it is their right to express it i personally would prefer it be taken to private messages to work things out it does hurt me to see you say no one wants you here i think i go out of my way to show you that you are wanted but, as you wish, i won't beg or push you to be some where you don't want to be if you choose to come back i will welcome you with open arms and heart i wish you a very blessed thanksgiving count your blessings, you have many. i don't know a lot of parents who would drive 15 hours to bring a home made delicious birthday cake and spend their daughters birthday with them doing such fun things and having a wonderful dinner. that is a blessing. having parents who can afford to send you to a prestigous school that is a blessing having a happy and healthy family that is a blessing having friend who love and care about your happiness that is a blessing i think that is all that Gwena was trying to get across. not making excuses for her, just voicing my opinion with love, alway hummy |
Well put, hummy.

You are always welcome in RAK and we will ALWAYS love you nemo. But I won;t let you spoil our time because you can't have what you want or because you have had a bad day. I empathize with your problems but I expect the same in return. I am nor RAK is your punching bag to beat up on. I hope you have a good thanksgiving whether you want to or not and that you realize the blessing you have. Like having a family to go back to, when you ARE able. |

that's just the tip of the ice burg i would be too embarrassed to post it all but, i do know how it is to just cringe at your family i am the quiet one in the corner no one notices, thankfully! i don't bitch about the food or the lack of my favorite things on the table i bring things to add and don't come emptied handed expecting to be waited on hand and foot so i get what dami has to deal with and i feel for her and miscreant and adder they are all such wonderful friend, giving and caring to a fault it pisses me off that their own family don't appreciate them nemo, Gwena, tiggie, dami and anyone else lurking sorry this got to be such a downer i do truly apologize to each and every one here |
no need for apologies, hummy
we're here to support one another through the good and bad times we all have them, it's called life I'm so sorry damia and miscreant are having such a tough time you expect more than that out of relatives |
Well, just saying, staying how I feel, right now I sure don't feel thankful or welcomed... I do sure don't appreciate being talked to that way... IT makes me not feel welcomed at all... I already am still severely on the fence about this site as a whole and I am attempting to give it another chance, and right now. I just feel like y'all just only see things from how you want... and you know what I just do not feel like I am welcomed here.. Y'all say I am... but really for the most part, I don't feel like it.
I'm gone... y'all don't want me around... I get it.. Bye. |
