  1. Hope R may know, he was in the Tampa Bay area in early to mid 80's.
  2. Satori ended it out well, and I think brought out the understanding of what was to be accomplished there. If no one ever got to read it, thats okay, cause those of us involved were the ones to really profit I think in that thread. But if you will consider me a group of one I will send over my hug to ya.
  3. ex, Possibly Modaustin deleted it due to language. Kathy
  4. bowtwi, Thanks, I can get some helpful understanding from that. And at the same time have some satisfaction that I am obtaining it from without twi, I mean was that stuff in one of the classes . I have family in your neck of the woods, spent many a summer afternoon hanging out with my fun cousins and their friends, do they still have that driveup (A&W type) burger place? Oh yes, the memories of there Kathy
  5. Krysilis, ---make friends in the real world. Egads, you mean this forum is not people from the real world I know what you are talking about, and actually I have retained some dear friends that were never twi folks. They are precious to me, but as much as they try they can not understand twi and my last 18 years of living in it. Here I don't have to explain myself, I can just say a sentence and it is understood. The feeling alone is a different alone than no one to talk to. Here I don't have to prove myself like twi or even with new folks sometimes. Never one to try and impress someone, you like me or you don't, here I can take my shoes off and bear my soul. Zixar, ---when all else fails, remember Christ--- I love that! ---foundation you thought was firm--- Does that ever say it, and I know I have used his words before in this forum but one can NEVER have too much of him (can they ): my foundations were made of clay ("My father's eyes" Eric Clapton) Fresh, ---sharing life with special friends meant more than fame or riches. Yes that is why I miss them . ---stringing chairs ahhhhh But one of the most interesting jobs I ever did was to stand on the head of lcm & donna's bed while dusting a picture above their bed. Let me tell you that was a complete trip for me, I was like "oh man please don't let him walk in at this second", I mean how the heck was I suppose to reach that darn ole picture anyway. Thanks all for your wonderful hearts and comfort to me. Talking with Cliff earlier, he said he has recognized this means of healing for me and that it is really not the same need for him. He will work it out in his own way. I told him I thought I needed to get involved with less threads at a time, in an effort to not get too addicted , he said I will know if I ever get to that point, and assured me that I was not neglecting anything. Gosh, like I would ever be able to leave anyway. Kathy gotta do stuff, back later tonight
  6. Firebee, I still remember your email to me asking if it had been you who I was referring to (but was Song I was talking to in my post), you are a good man. Yes I do have a good man standing at my side, and gee how sweet for you to call me a good woman at his side (I have my good days ). I have found that I have (if I may use this term without sounding just bonkers to yall) fallen in love with some of you out there, I mean that I have made you a part of my very heart so I shall cling tightly to those I love. Hope, What can I say? You and I knew for years but just stayed put for our personal reasons. Found great comfort in knowing you were always there for me. Hey can you run over to my moms and give her a kiss for me, it is her birthday on Monday, heck you live less than 5 miles apart probably . Questions: How does a private topic work, I mean if you ask to start one then how do you know it worked and how do you continue it? Also what is adding someone to your contact mean? Also I noticed some of you can do things with your print that is available over in Word, I talked to Paw about it and he said open it up first, then log on and I can use that as means for spellcheck and font changes and such, I am a complete "bonehead" and can not figure out how to do it. HELP PLEASE
  7. Dot Matrix, Actually the "get a dog" communicated to me as you wanted it to I think. We did have a dog, got one shortly after we moved here, she was a nutcase . I mean really a nutcase. My nephews came up to visit us one time and they went back and told my mom that our dog was "mental". But we had to have her put to sleep last fall, it was hard as heck, she became ill to the end that her quality of life was not bearable for us to watch anymore. It was what had to be done. So probably no dogs for awhile, I enjoy others though as much as possible.
  8. Oakspear, My pace, how refreshing to hear those words. I know I heard it said in twi but the words didn't line up with the accompanying push. Comfort from others but yes I have to recoginze it will be my way. Kinda weird way to explain something but when I was a child I had a certain dream that would haunt me, really was hard to get over it. It was of me sitting in a room full of people but no one knew I was there, or seemed capable of helping me when I was in distress. Odd dream but it stayed with me for years. I did once know that it would be up to me to make my way, but I forgot it Oakspear, I forgot how to do it. Steve, Open so quickly, well that really was the old Kathy and that is one thing that God gave back to me quickly upon leaving twi. Cause you know you can not be open to anyone while in, their brand of consequences can be very costly. (Oh yeah, did you read that I wasn't watching Dallas then, so that was how I did not know who had died. Hahahaha) Kathy
  9. Dot Matrix and mj412, Your words help greatly, I feel kinda whiny cause I have read so many stories here but just fell into this false sense that somehow I should be compeletly okay by now. Thanks for reminding me that it will take time and that it is a huge deal to have lived in one way then now to be learning how to live again. I agree I miss friends, oh I talk like I am okay with it, but I miss them badly. My hurt just aches. But I have found new friends here, good wonderful folks that know exactly what I meant when I posted this thread. Ones that I know will not turn their back on me. Thank you so very much. Kathy
  10. Recovery gig. My mind has been busy today as I did various things but not on the task at hand, but on what the heck is going on with me. I started posting a bit over a month ago after having been out for a month. Maybe I am expecting too much of myself. I welcomed someone new this weekend, but wonder am I really able to offer anything. I read some great Word researched threads this weekend but found myself wanting to enjoy the campfire and the stars with the folks but afraid to trust my knowledge of the Word, therefore to offer to the thread. I am easy to read, have always been that way. But am I conveying to those who read my words that I am well on my way to recovery. My details about twi vary with others, well documented that twi is not consistant from one state to the other with the exception of the legalist hold and false doctrines. Several of you now email me outside this forum and I am sharing details with you regarding my story that I am not comfortable to share in public view yet. Is this normal for me now? My husband sitting across dinner from me as I sat and cried and cried told me to enjoy myself and that I was remaining open to God so He will be able to work with my heart, and that he felt I was doing incredibly well considering where I have been for nearly 20 years of my life. But damn it hurts you guys! Went to the Word and read this: Psalms 139:1-4 O Lord Thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down. And art aquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O Lord Thou knowest it altogether. Thanks for letting me go on there, know you all deal with things, just feeling a bit alone for some reason. Love you all, Kathy
  11. Hope, Breaking the rules, funny you would start this poll cause I was just saying to Cliff at dinner tonight how sometime I just want to run out and do things I was not allowed to while in twi. Like: Go "fullyshare" with the first "stranger" I find. Say "create, fortunate and Merry Christmas". Buy a lottery ticket. Go to a community event just to be there and not witness. See a horror flick, and not overspiritualize it. Buy a house, but guess I am going to break that rule. Not go to every meeting held. Discuss twi business with "outsiders". Oh well, just a couple, sure there are more. But yes Hope, I also deal with not wanting to break the dadgum rules. Indebt, My husband smiles at stop signs as he slowly passes them by.
  12. Yall may have already read this but in case not: HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. Alan, age 10 No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with. Kirsten, age 10 WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED? Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. Camille, age 10 No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married. Freddie, age 6 HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED? You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. Derrick, age 8 WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMOM? Both don't want any more kids. Lori, age 8 WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE? Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough. Lynnette, age 8 On the first date, they tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date. Martin, age 10 WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE? When they're rich. Pam, age 7 The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that. Curt, age 7 The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do. Howard, age 8 IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED? I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out. Theodore, age 8 It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. Anita, age 9 HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED? There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? Kelvin, age 8 AND THE #1 FAVORITE IS------ HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK? Tell your wife she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck. Ricky, age 10 Hope yall enjoy. Kathy
  13. That worked, I now have their information. Grateful to you for your suggestion. Love, Kathy
  14. May be off on last name spelling sorry to say. They were in Detroit area a few years ago. Would love to have contact with them.
  15. And pretty much "in" at this point in life.
  16. Our dog (God rest her soul) use to walk up the the TV and just stand there looking at the when it would whistle during those commercials. You could see her little brain going "okay I'm here, you can stop calling me, and what the heck do ya want anyway".
