All people at Bally's would be required to write a letter to MOF (man of fitness) and tell him how much they were blessed by him.

Thanks so much you guys...it was very uplifting and answered some questions I have. The supervisor didn't tell me but her assistant did but he is a very very close friend of mine that I do trust. And, there have been others that she has been telling that she is having major problems with me. These people I work very well with so I don't have a problem with it. I am determined to stay at this job no matter what. When I was in twi I changed jobs every 6 months to a year. I continued to do this for years after leaving and I need to break away from it. I found that whenever I had a problem I would just quit and get another one. This job has the best benefits I ever had including three weeks paid time off after the first year. My first year is coming up. The other benefits I could not even compare or trade. You all gave some really good advice and I really appreciate it. David, LOLOLOL IT sure would be fun to trade just to get in other people's faces, huh? I got a good giggle out of that one.....lmao I didn't get to see what peahead posted but I have a feeling it was probably good I didn't...thanks paw... :)-->

So, Tom Strange, how have you dealt with it when people have personally attacked you?

I bring this up because a lot of us got twi as teens and stayed until later adulthood. I find that sometimes socially its hard for me because I had instant friends and then when I left I have been really naive about things. I just don't get why people have to be so mean.

Lately, I've been having problems with certain individuals....one in my personal life and one at work. They play the game of glare and not speak. The woman at work has tried to get me fired a couple of times. The first time she gave an ultimatum to the boss that if I didn't go she was going. The boss took us into a room for us to talk it out. Of course then she didn't have a problem facing me. Today she told my boss that she intensely disliked me. The boss asked why and she told her that I never work and that I gossip and make fun of people....none of which are true. The woman told my boss that if she didn't do something about me that she would have to quit. The boss told her that she would have to do what she thought was right. The woman asked if she should go now or give a two week notice and the boss told her that if she wanted a good reference she would give her two week. This woman has given me the cold shoulder and glares for the past week. I just stay to myself and feel that if she wants to be that way its her problem. Bob says that the problem with me is that I have too big of a heart and some people like to step all over people like this. Have you had problems like this and how did you deal with it?

was it flyberg or cynic or something like that, abigail? I remember someone posting in the same way before.

This was in the eighties.....went to move...no one to help me but my brother. It was the two of us that carried furniture down two flights into a U-Haul... My parents were unable to help because of health but they did pay for the U-haul. My dad asked me why twi didn't help since I had dedicated my life for them and was always helping others. :o--> When it came time for my first baby's shower the bc was invited and everyone was excited about her coming....she was a no show...found out later she had a headache. And I babysat for free for her kids all the time... There are many other disappointments but can't remember everything at the top of my head. Why didn't I get the message even then?... --> Would have saved a lot of heartache!!!!

I wonder why I have a flag under my avatar...interesting.

wow, how did I get to post 0? I'm starting all over again... -->

Dearest Excie, I am humbled by your presence dear elder corps.....

Peahead, I think you are reading way too much into this....dizzy dog said a soldier laying down his life...he said nothing about war in the middle east. There has been nothing said about these girls baking cookies because of a religous reason. I guess thats why I go by vickles and you go by peahead....

You said it very well, Belle, thanks...

'heart on'.... :D--> Love it!!! Many thanks, Hills Bro!!! It may be the only valentine I get as bob is not the romantic sort at all, but he is a good man.

welcome lianne, good to see ya around...I do remember your name. Hope you enjoy it around in these parts!!!!

LOL lindy, loved your post. Yes they did seem to want to control...even how much toilet paper to use...how to eat at a table...etc. I always wondered why they felt they had to teach us everyday stuff...most of the stuff I already knew-like how to eat at a table sort of thing...didn't know about the toilet paper...lol Like we were stupid...but then I still hung in there believing that these men were so spiritual...I still can't believe that I believed so much of the crap!!!!!

PS I do agree with you. There are a lot of 11th corps that are here in gs...they just don't post here. There are a couple of them that have tried to get this thread going but for some reason it just didn't take off. I am also hoping they come in here. We could have some fun!!!

I remember someone came up to me at ROA and asked me to minister to her...I had never met her in my life. I prayed for some things that were very big deal at that time...I just knew that that is what she had. When I was done she looked into my eyes with such disappointment. Brought me down a peg or two, I'll tell ya. I thought I was being so spiritual. Well that taught me a lot.

I never did get into the number thing, I thought it was kind of dumb.

I remember thinking how spiritual it was that I always got a parking space in front of the building to go shopping.... --> Now I find that I still get a parking space in the front and I'm not all that spiritual anymore. Whats funny is before I read this I was in the car with my son picking my daughter up from work. I was stopped at a stop light and remembered when I was in twi how I would say in the name of JC change to green....lol....sometimes it did and sometimes it didn't...when it did I thought gosh my believing is so there...so spiritual, ya know? My son got a big kick out of me trying to change the light today...of course I didn't say in the name of....but he still thought it was pretty funny. How spiritual we all were, huh? We were believing all right!!!!

hope, they could even say that times have changed....they've done it before. It really doesn't make any sense for them to do that since they would be getting more money out of these people since paying a mortgage payment is cheaper than paying rent.... -->

Yeah I agree, Satori, and I have done it when money was tight. What I have wrestled with is what I was doing in front of my child...but then nothing is black and white either. I tell my kid not to lie but then I do it for him....mixed signals?

Very true, mark!!!!!!!!! I totally agree with you.

yeah, maybe one of those fly by posters.. -->

Ok, now that some of the 11th corps are coming out I would like to invite all of you to the 11th corps thread.

Patty, I sent you a private message.
