....?
How are you doing sweetie? How are you dealing with the break up with Jerry? Has he contacted you yet? Are you ok with everything and letting it go or is their still a possibility that you could work this out? I've been thinking of you. I know you haven't posted lately, but I'm here for you if you want to contact me. Just do it over my email address through my website.
How are the twins? How is the new place?
Big hugs,
Catherine

Thank you so much sweetie! I will definitely look out for it.

I've been here for 10yrs now and the views here are still breathtaking. I think I have one of the most awesome commutes through the forest. I wish I had a digital to just put up shots on my website of the beauty I'm surrounded in. I have to get one, before I leave. However, beauty needs to also be within and as far as Germans go, they are pretty difficult to get along with and the men here are just AWFUL. They all believe in being disloyal and cheating and lying. It's ok to do this and the women do it as well. It is a very strange culture and they don'T like children here either. You can hardly find a child friendly hotel or anything to do, including no daycare until age 3. Sooooooo in reality, I've seen almost everything I wanted to see, except for Italy, but will do that on a short trip next fall and Scottland and I will see that on a weekend to visit a friend their. Otherwise, I've had the opportunity all my life and I saw most when I was a kid or teenager then I did while living here, because I just can't finance it with the taxes they take out of me. They bleed me dry. I am now paying 49% taxes and I am single with two kids and only one small minimum childsupport for the youngest, but not for the oldest. I guess sometimes, paradise isn't paradise, when you have no money. LOL.

Thank you for the wonderful comments about me and my website. :-)

I'm so curious, Mary Beth, don't you feel comfortable posting on the board anymore? Married women and single women alike are tip toeing around the board due to a post you started, about being so unhappy having to read everyone's happy posts. Everyone shared about their numerous sad posts, the numerous times the girls supported them, how they got great advice, how they go pats on the back, and often a little bit of tough love. The board is now pretty much what you want it to be - but you don't feel comfortable enough to share what is going in your life? Why?

Thanks for bringing the whole thing up because THATS exactly why I am not posting anymore or "as much" as I used to. Because I am the scapegoat and the person who caused the whole situation. You seem to think I feel justified or great about it. I dont! I never meant for all that to happen. It did. I regret it and I feel flippen bad about it allright???!!Thanks for rubbing it in sunshine! Much appreciated.

MB,

Please don't feel bad. I think that while your post did cause some shock and some disappointment, it did a bit of good for us to clean house. We have a more organized board. There are more pertinent topics for single moms, a new CL, new members and life is going on for us.

NO ONE on here should ever feel bad or be made to feel bad about posting their feelings. I think that we all need to respect each other and not make any out and out stabs at a person for the way they feel. We can all learn from each other. And we have to agree to agree and disagree.

There are times I really agree with someone and times I really disagree with the same person on a different issue. But I always respect each person for their own opinion and try to have an open mind for new ideas. I have really learned a lot from the ideas here and from watching different people with different attitudes and what happens to them.

So, MB, tell us how your life in your new place is going? How are the kids? Did you ever get the new job? How is your dad - is he treating you any better? Am I remembering everything? Tell us more.

Hugs!
