How the board makes me feel

Regardless of if it is shown or told as much as it should, because of real life things going on... So many that I have so much trouble dealing with or understanding... It is definitely something that I feel every day. I hope, that if you never knew that, that you do now!

I am sorry you are having such a rough week!  I really hope things improve.  I know I have not been that active on this board.  Life for me actually gets busier during the school year.   2 girls in Dance and Company and I spend my life at the studio.  We have fundraiser and competitions, and workshops as well.  My whole October is filled up on the weekends. I actually just got home from a fundraiser event and we have a workshop on Sunday and the following Saturday. Work also picks up at this time since government is ending their fiscal year, we have contracts ending and new ones that we hope will begin. LOL  Plus we are getting ourselves ready for the end of the year and projections for new money in the coming year.  It is gets insane at this time!!!  I do lurk daily and will give it my all to post more often, I agree with you, the people who have come into my life from this board are irreplaceable!

Hi Lauren,

I hope things start to go better for you this week.  I am one of the newbies/lurker types.  I find for myself that I don't post too much until I get a feel for people and the tone of a board.  I read alot of the posts though.  I posted a bit in the protein thread you mentioned - protein is a sore spot for me so it was something I was really interested in.  I don't really know how to explain it but for me, for a while, I tend to lurk more.  And to be honest, I don't go on the main board much at all because it seems there is often alot of drama and I'm not here for drama - I'm here for support and to learn.

I noticed you mentioned you are from CT.  Where about?  I lived in Clinton (shoreline) for 5 years, I got my BA at Southern.  My parents still live there and I have alot of friends up that way.  I try to make it home a few times a year - sometimes I really miss being only 5 minutes from the beach.

Anyway, I hope this week finds you in a better place!

Thank you for the well wishes.  I have trouble following the main board because it is so fast paced with too many people revolving.

I grew up in Trumbull.  I went to SCSU i*****95.  :)

Lurker here. I'm posting. Will be having my surgery soon, I hope. I love reading the posts here and am an absolute addict. I love watching all of your journeys. I am feeling very alone right now with some personal stuff and feeling like there is no one around to talk to. Blah. I'm blabbering. Anyway, hi again everybody. :)

No, no blabbering.  Feel free to PM me if you ever need to unload some of the personal stuff.  I find I feel better when I just "talk" or write things out.  :)  You are NOT alone.
