Downriver Support Group

I logged off the board about 5:55, nobody said meeting canceled. I drove almost thirty miles each way. In the dark. In the rain. I walked past the Cinnabon smells. I sat under the speaker blaring Xmas (spelled it that way to indicate the crass commercialism) music, non stop. I tried to figure out what to order, considering it isn't my favorite chain or store. After the waitress came the third time and ask how many would be coming, I left. I'm not going to do this again. Did I need support or want to offer it? Nobody cared.

Oh man, Jane.....I'm so sorry that happened to you. I was thinking of driving to that meeting from Westland. I'm glad I didn't! I hope you don't get discouraged from meeting with others. I can't imagine why they would cancel a meeting. Sorry you had to drive from our neck of the woods only to be stood up. The Cinnabon only adds insult to injury. I think someone owes you a dinner.

But not at Big Boy! Lets do a Western Wayne County get together, and pick a restaurant with steak we can afford. Think we could do something at the beginning of December? I did something good after the non-meeting. Instead of hitting White Castle, I got a package of shrimp from the freezer at Walmart. Much healthier and quite tasty. Of course I also shopped...

I was going to go too but my son had a book report due today and I had to help him. Our meeting at St Mary Mercy is coming up soon! Maybe I'll see you there. Stacey

Let me know where and when for the steak dinner ( I don't do steak, but chicken is good!) and I'll try to be there. We can get together and go TP the downriver support people's houses! (I kid, I kid) Brenda

Jane, I am so sorry...I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am. The meeting wasn't cancelled...I knew Frankie wasn't going to make it, but every other indication was that others were going to be there. Larry and I personally ran into a family problem that took us out to Chelsea Community hospital and I didn't have time to post that. What a mess! I beg your forgiveness and thank God you were safe in you travels. Perhaps I should request that people respond with a yea or nay the day before, so we actually have an idea of who is planning to come. I also wanted to ask everyone in our group if you would be interested in moving to Wednesday nights instead of Thursdays...please give us another chance!!! We really need you, both to give support and to give you support. I'd love to hear from you, please e-mail me. Humbly and sincerely, Lizzie B
