Dear Chrystie, I think the most important thing, when we have stressful, sad happenings in our lives to deal with, is to know there are family members, and friends who care about us and are supportive. Don't you? That is what is so great about our lists, and our email in general. We are only a few clicks away from loving folks to share our sorrow and and our joy.

Linda and gang, Like people, groups of any kind are and should all be different. Some newsgroups out here are very strict and stanch in their beliefs that "we stay on the subject line". That might work well for "them". Some groups practice surname mania, now this is just my opionion, respectfully to other groups. But here on the MOYERS board, it just seems like "we" all fell into place.A place that's about as naturally family oriented as it gets. And I for one am so glad that it did. And it happened when I wasn't even looking. Literally banged into rootsweb one night while surfing aimlessly trying to entertain my sad thoughts. We all need a break from time to time away from our jobs, family, friends and even our hobbies, no matter what they are and especially life's problems, no matter what the level of the problem is. That's when we need a support group all the more. But for the life of me, I don't understand how anyone could get upset if "we" MOYERS feel a need from time to time to air out our personals. We're family reseachers, into family whether it be descendants or ancestry, family is in our blood. You're right Linda. A group is suppose to be supportive of each other, regardless of the issue. That's just it. The issue is "family". And with family comes support. And with support comes unity. And with unity comes alot of "meetings of minds...." hey, two heads sure are better then one. So, if we continue to stay as a solid unified group, whether the board is quiet for a time (that's expected) or rambling on about our "personals" that just makes it that much better for us when we need to pull all of our resources together to help each other and those that just join-in with us that are in need our help in finding their roots. That makes us stronger as a group. Everytime someone "unsubscribes" it comes back to me. Honestly, it's rare. We pick-up a few newbies every week or so. Which leads me to the next sentence. If anyone out here hasn't yet introduced themselves,by all means, please do. I can speak for us MOYERS MYERS MAYERS MEIRS MIERS MEYERS etc.... here comes that surname headache... but if you're out there and you're new or you've yet to figure out just how to post. Just do it. You're on the best board out here because there are no rules. Can't be. We're adults. All that's expected of you is to just be supportive of each other and god knows we are that. I'm proud to be apart of the MOYERS group. I really am. It's helped me thru many a tough nights. And Brenda, it's ok. You didn't set anything off anymore then what I've lived with for many years now. Felt kinda good to tell the group alittle bit more abt me. Makes me more human to others;) Life just somethings get's in the old way. Take Helen. She's made me shake my head many nights realizing that life's too short not to laugh at our shortcomings. It was the widest smile I had enjoyed in awhile when she spoke of her mother and the "potty" thing.... I'm still laughing just thinking about it. And Helen has been a major genealogist for many years, D.A.R. many times over; I know Linda is extremely well MYERS MOYERS MAYER(S) versed. How much luckier can we get.... we have John and Pearl here too! I haven't seen anything from Suzie. I hope she's still with us. Enough from me. I"m writing a book again! Love all of you. We have to plan a MOYERS reunion. Meet somewhere "centered" for all of us.... hmmmm.....

I MAY HAVE MADE YOU LAUGH ABOUT THE POTTY, BUT WHAT I AM DEALING WITH NOW IS NOT FUN...I CAN'T EVEN LAUGH MYSELF AND THAT IS RARE, INDEED FOR I HAVE FOUND LIFE TO BE EXCITING, MEAN, UGLY, FUN, BUT RIGHT NOW, I FIND NOTHING FUN ABOUT TRYING TO PULL MY COMPUTER TOGETHER, WORKING HOURS TRYING TO SAVE EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY ALL BUT DESTROYED. THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES ME FEEL HONORED TO BE AMONG FRIENDS WHO CAN LAUGH IS TO LOOK AROUND ME AND SEE HOW LUCKY I REALLY AM TO BE FIRST.........ALIVE.......SECONDLY....I AM NOT IN THE BED AND NOT IN A WHEELCHAIR.....I DO NOT HAVE CANCER AS FAR AS I KNOW....BUT RIGHT NOW, I AM MAD AS ______ AND I DON'T LIKE IT ANYMORE. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, IT IS JUST A LOT OF WORK AND IT APPEARS THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SHELL OUT ANOTHER TWO GRAND AND THAT MAKES ME UNHAPPY, ESPECIALLY SINCE MY COMPUTER IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD. JUST THOUGHT I NEEDED TO LET YOU KNOW WHY I HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND LATELY. YOU DON'T NEED SOMEONE THAT HAS THEIR HEAD BETWEEN THEIR LEGS...I TRY AND THINK OF ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE IN SUCH WORSE SHAPE THAN I AM...EVEN THOUGH I HAVE LOST 25.5 PERCENT OF MY BONE DENSITY IN MY SPINE AND HIP. WITH A BROKEN BACK, A FRACTURED ARM AND WHEN YOU YAWN AND GET A BROKEN JAW, IT IS TIME TO LOOK INTO THE SITUATION AND SEE WHAT IS GOING ON BY SOMEONE THAT APPEARS TO KNOW MORE THOSE THAT ARE SO "VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE" SO AM THINKING THAT WE WILL BE TAKING A TRIP TO SCOTT AND WHITE IN TEMPLE, TEXAS. SO BESIDES THE PRAYERS THAT ARE NEEDED BY THOSE WE ARE IN TOUCH WITH EVERY DAY, I STILL CAN GIVE THANKS THAT I DON'T HAVE CANCER...AM NOT IN A NURSING HOME...AND STILL HAVE A HUSBAND...WE CAN ALWAYS LOOK AROUND AND FIND SOMEONE THAT WE WOULD NOT LIKE TO TRADE PLACES WITH. AS SOON AS I GET OUT OF THIS SLUMP, WILL SEND IN MY HISTORY EVEN THOUGH, CRISSY, YOU HAVE IT. LOVE, HUGS AND MANY BLESSINGS TO THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE HAVING HEALTH PROBLEMS OR PROBLEMS OF ANY KIND. THEY CALL ME TRUBBLE. HELEN.

Thanks Chrystie, I agree!
