OT- Prayers needed
57

This afternoon Rob received a call from his National Guard Unit. He's officially on alert. He's been told to get all of his gear and paperwork together. Will, POA, ATM Card etc. His physical was scheduled for August and now that has been pushed up to this weekend. This was supposed to be a normal weekend, but now he's been told to bring an overnight bag and to be prepared to stay. This "feels" entirely different from when he was activated as security after 9/11. I would appreciate a prayer for his safety if you have a chance.

Love,

Mel

"Coward" is such an interesting choice of words for you to use, don't you think? At least my sister didn't cry to her spouse when she was called up, and neither did I when it was my turn. It's a very telling word YOU use, and seems to fit your situation:


You wrote:

"The more the merrier- of course, the coward has edited it's original post which advocated "smoking a smokey joe". But that's okay, because I'd already copied them down and reported them in their original wording and format for posterity's sake.

Lord, who knows. Asstri, Forte10, icy princess, snow balls et al. are so predictable it's boring.

In any case, I know several people--active military and National Guardsmen--who are in Iraq or on alert. My prayers are with them, and with your family.

Where do you come up with this stuff?

My husband didn't cry to me about being put on alert. No one said he did, no one implied he did. Don't you get tired of making things up to suit your need to hurt people?

Coward applies directly to you and your editing of your original post. If you had the guts to stand by your post, I wouldn't have used the word.

I have tried and tried to understand what kind of soulless freak would say the kind of things that the troll(s) on this board have said. I have tried to consider that maybe they weren't loved as children, perhaps were off their meds, or maybe had some other life altering reason for being classless, base, and inhuman. I've come to the realization that they and you probably have some sort of mental disorder, but I've run out of pity for you all. Your original post was tantamount to a death wish for my husband. It was cruel and uncalled for and I actually considered NOT returning to this board because of the way it made me feel.

But then you'd win. And I'd be the one losing out on all the great and wonderful things on this board. The people I love and the fun we have, the pieces of our lives we share. I won't let YOU take that from me. You aren't worth it.

If I had in my entire life said ANY of the the cruel, self-loathing, putrid, unkind and downright despicable things my spirit would have died. I can't believe yours survived. In that I believe I have my answer. You're an empty shell with nothing but the hate in your heart to share with the world.

Mel,

I'm so glad that you're not letting this poor excuse for a human being chase you off this board. I hope you know that we (your friends) are all behind you and Rob 110%. I don't know how this person can sleep at night being such a spiteful, hateful person, but just know that YOU are the one who is loved by many people, and this person couldn't possibly know what that's like. Who would love such a hateful person? I, too have tried to figure out why this person gets his or her jollies out of saying the most spiteful, hurtful things. I can't explain it, because I can't even imagine thinking those things, never mind actually saying them to someone. He or she is not worth the space that is taken up by his/her posts. And he/she is definitely NOT worth leaving your friends who care about you and Rob very much. You bring a lot of life to these boards, and I would certainly hate to have such a wonderful person leave, especially because of someone trying to get their thrills out of hurting people. If what I've said about this poster gets me in trouble with TOS, so be it. But I just wanted you to know how I feel.

(((HUGS)))
