Johnny, I feel the same way. My life may not have been as bad as yours on the dad front, but there've been some really bad times (that I've not got into here yet). I could sob about them, carry them on my shoulders, wear them on my sleeve or use them as an excuse not to grow and become a better person. But the fact of the matter is that, like AS, our pasts mould us, give us challenges to overcome and, if we do it well, we come out the other side much better and stronger people.

I admire that capability in people who evidence it.

Hugs,

Kat

Hey...whatever works for you, I guess


ANYWAY, please note that you AGAIN have managed to take the "most interesting thread on the board" prize. I wish I had as much talent!!!


I should have Lord Kain here in my signature saying "I, Lord Kain, will furthermore send ALL of Johnny's threads into the Abyss!!"

Yet another reason for you to make it up to Ottawa!!

I really hope you will be able to make it......

May the roof above us never fall in, and the many friends gathered below it never fall out.

Maybe we should start another thread on the use of M&M's for the occasional use of temporary AS relief!

Although... if you were to take a look at the NSD forum... ginger covered in dark chocolate might be an alternative of choice!!!!

Oh Maxine, I absolutely LOVE ginger! Those sound so yummy I very rarely eat icecream now but I discovered ginger icecream a few years back when I was living on the coast of Maine. I got addicted to that stuff but it's not easy to find. Have you ever tried it? YUMYUM!

peace
Kathy.

Hi Kathy,

I do not particularily care for the taste of ginger, but I love how it helps my keep me out of pain with my AS. Of course, going for the real deal, ginger root.

Take care,

Tim

Hey Tim,

I did know ginger was great for stomach upset but I didn't realize ginger was beneficial to managing AS pain. Hmm, that's very interesting to me as I cannot take anything for my pain. Of course I could go back on narcotics but I'd rather not, that's always a last resort for me.

Thanks for the tip, something I love just might help!
Ginger icecream here I come!

peace
Kathy

I LOVE Ginger but it gives me the hiccups !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jan's full on in your face style of banter only gives offence to those looking to take it. In giving a platform and audience this forum will bring out the pompous self regarding @$$ that is in many of us, but most learn to control it. If you must continue, then it has got to be the OED.

sublata causa tollitur effectus as we say

OK, now I'm speaking up. Bilko, you are out of line. Johnny has done absolutely nothing wrong in this thread. Jan came in here and took things way too seriously and literally. Fine, we all do that sometimes, but it continued even after Johnny shared his story of alcohol abuse in his father, which was callous and plain selfish of her. The lack of compassion or awareness of what Johnny had just done was unbelievable.

I've been trying to give Jan the benefit of the doubt that maybe there's something going on with her that's causing her to lash out inappropriately. I could be completely off base with that, but the tone of her posts indicates that to me. However, that you have decided to continue what Jan started is just mean. I don't know what your agenda is in continuing with this, Bilko, but it is not appreciated. If you want to bicker over something, start your own thread. If any of us wants to play, we'll join you. Otherwise, please just drop this and let us continue enjoying a discussion that should be/was/and will again be light hearted and jovial. If anyone feels like trying to rescue something that's been tainted by attitude and lack of understanding.

Thank you.
