FAO Melinda

From me too! I remember when I first moved to Washington and you
offered to send me glucosamine chondriotin to make sure that I was
taking my supplements. That was very kind of you and I have never
forgotten it. We love you so stay

Hugs,
Carole

I have not attacked anyone except the person acting like a spammer. Did I
attack personally Diane or Melinda? No,,, I did not,,, have not. I did
say that I will not ask people to not be political in this newsgroup
anymore. People want to do that,,, let em.
thanks for your input Jo,,,
Harv


harv, you're full of beans! (as my great-uncle used to say, and you are
fortunate i'm not angry enough to say what butch might have said.)

just what do you call sinister insinuations and casting unfounded/groundless
aspersions about melinda's generosity of spirit and defaming her character?
or is that just plain lying and not attacking?

and fyi, richard was NOT acting like a spammer! his post was intended for
one person, not you and not everybody--that is NOT how a spammer acts! you
vilely reacted to his post, because you wanted to believe he was a spammer!
and why?--only because he pinged melinda! get real, harv!

kate

Harv,



This IS a SUPPORT group and you have caused a great great deal of stress
here with your angry words.

Please drop it!

By continuing to respond and rant and rave, you are not only causing
stress, but you are not living the christian way. Remember: Love thy
neighbor as you would love thyself? You don't have to agree with a
persons background, thoughts, beliefs, or words to get along with
someone.

Your posts this past week have been extremely angry, hostile, and
inflammatory to most in the group.

Supportive, they have not been!

Harv, you are a beloved member of this family, but it is time for you to
knock off all this hostility and to quit causing so much hurt.

You and Melinda are both beloved members of this group as are so many
others. If you don't believe or agree with Melinda's life/beliefs,
that is your prerogative, but it doesn't give you the right to go on the
attack and cause so much stress for all of the group.

Drop it all and let it go!!!

Richard deserves to be here just as much as anyone else does and I
really hate that you have treated him so poorly. You owe him an
apology!!!

If I was a newbie and got the responses that you posted to him, I too
would want to withdraw my post. How intimidating you must have seemed
to him. Here all he was doing was looking for some information and you
were just downright rude and nasty to him.

In my opinion, you also owe Melinda an apology. I don't care if you
agree with her or not, but you owe her an apology simply for your
unfounded accusations.

You and I both know that Melinda is a very very caring person who would
give the shirt off her back to help someone in this group --- without
any expectations of repayment or sales at all. She has been there for
me as she has for so many others here in the group. That, Harv, is what
true family is all about and this group is true family.

Melinda is not the only one here who has done something kind for another
in the group. There are many here and I for one have been blessed many
a time by all of their generosities without the expectations of anything
in return.

Harv, I know you know all this, and I'm not sure what is really behind
all of this anger and these nasty posts, but it needs to stop NOW!!!

Please, if you truly believe this group is for support, then offer
support or don't say anything until you can get your emotions in better
check.

Life is far too short for all of this nonsense.

I sit here in tears, Harv, seeing you act so nasty and knowing that you
have it in you to be a better person than what you are displaying right
now.

I sincerely hope that your heart and your head will let all this
hostility go and get on with the support that you so often tout!!!

Am also praying that our precious LORD will help you to see the damage
you are doing here with all of your hatred and anger.



Please, enough already!!!


Melinda and Kate and Diane and SJ and Kelly C and Kelly E and Duckie and
all of the others of you who have so graciously sent me favorite
candies, books, figurines, cards , tools to help me through surgeries,
useful things to help with daily living of the RA, phone calls to see if
I was ok, and parts of you that have otherwise inspired and supported me
in more ways than I can even begin to share here, etc. Thank you from
the bottom of my heart for so generously sharing of yourselves and
sending me items WITHOUT expectations of anything in return. You can't
ever even begin to know how deeply you all have touched my heart and my
soul!!! I know full well that I have been blessed to the core even
though I am so undeserving!!! THANK YOU!!!


Hugs,


Donna G

I was just trying to skim back thru the responses to see if the poor man
ever got an answer to his question.

Harv - cut it out. I love ya, but you're out of line and way off base.

Everybody else - stay right where you are. Hearts are already breaking for
Sarah's and Patty's families and the holidays are hard enough to get thru
without everyone leaving.

Melinda - I wish you knew just how unnecessary it is for you to defend
yourself in this group. Most already know just how many, many people you've
given to generously, selflessly and at a cost to no one but yourself.

Love,
Kimmy

Dear Melindaq,

Please don't leave. If you do, there will be tons of disappointed

Not heavy water Rose - living water. Did we ever figure out what dead water
was?? The house across from my drs advertises living water for compromised
immune systems - scary thing.

By the way Melinda - one of the things you suggested to someone once was
Mama's Belly Creme or something like that for scarring. When my sister in
law completely tore her achilles and was operated on she and her surgeon
were very concerned about scarring - she scars so easily. I told her about
that product and the surgeon could not believe the results. She now is a
firm believer in it for all sorts of things - she has really dry skin and
truly does scar at the smallest cuts. Never would have heard of it if not
for you. (and no you were not selling it!)

As for the DMSO - has anyone ever actually smelled that stuff! I used it
for bladder installations and believe me I would never have used it for
anything else in public. My girlfriend once thought it was her aquarium
that stunk so badly until we figured out it was me and many other people
have said I had a garlicy smell. Pat slept in the other bed for 2 nights
after a treatment and we would wash the sheets really well after. It sort
of oozed out of the pores. Yuck!

My favorite is the distilled water around the bed to test for magnetic
fields. Of course it takes special distilled water and must be measured
into gallon jugs just so..... only cost my aunt a couple of thousand for
that test.

In the meantime Melinda - if you want to make money you really should sell
something to us not just recommend we buy it from Costco and the such.
Maybe an online accupuncture group. We will put needles in exact spots at
the exact time - nah wouldn't work.

Don't go Melinda - I'll stay if you do and we will keep things positive.

Your welcome Donna,

You deserve all those things you got. You are one special lady.

By the way I don't ever want to hear you say you are so undeserving again,
you hear me. You don't want my hot flash attitude to come out again do you.
Ask Rosie, she will tell you. When we talked today, she said to me you are
menopausal big time aren't you. See she could even tell. ;-)

She said it was because I was getting so old. ;-)

Yes, please dont let this guy seperate you from so many of us that
love, adore, and respect you. Your absence has left a huge hole in this
group and it has remained unfilled because you cannot be replaced. You
are a very special person. Harv started trying to run me off after my
first post some 8 years ago. The reason was that in my intro history i
talked about the fact that the only thing that had ever helped me was
Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is at the top of a very long list of
things he hates. Its right below lesbians and indian/irish
half-breeds.>g<
I spent too many years trying to give Harv a break because so many
folks here like him. I no longer think about or pay attention to him
unless he is doing what he just did to a new person seeking help for
their suffering and pain. When I am able to keep up with the group I do
try to intervene when he and firechief go on one of their out of
control spammer lynchings. It rarely helps and often I know it makes me
look like an angry old fart which Im not. At least not the angry part.
He is a bully and it appears to be escalating. There was a time when
occasionaly some compassion and humanity would seep thru the bigotry.
That side of Harv hasn't shown itself in a very long time.

Please pay attention to the outpouring of support you have received
from the group and block harv if that helps but don't leave again. Its
one person with absolutely no support trying to run you off. Don't let
that anger win again. You just got here and most of us care for you
alot and we do worry when you remain absent for any length of time. We
need your wisdom, your compassion, and your intelligence. You make a
difference when your around.

yer ol'desert bud,
