What is all this, where are the people?

[Ross]

I remember times in the past when we've tried to "add things up" and our numerical skills took us completely in the wrong direction. Of course, there are times when we've added things up, and sure enough, the answer was just what we expected it to be.
Do questions, or reservations, need to be raised in a thread? If they need to be addressed, isn't it better to do it privately?

I have reasons for my suspicions. If I feel that members are being taken by a particular story, I'm going to say something about it. Yes, I've been wrong before, and God knows everyone on this forum wants all matters to be public or the fur flies. I simply feel the need to call on this and prove authenticity.

It would seem to me if I were posting my worst worries in the world on this thread(which by the way is dying after Solomon,I would miss him so),and if I were asked why,it shouldnt bother me since I opened the door to inquiries.
I mean , you never see me respond on the weight issues..lol

Thank you Mary. I almost feel like I am on trial here. I am sorry that people feel that things "don't add up." I am not sure what is supposed to add up. My mind is spinning. I did not wait until the last week to research possiblities. I have been researching for 16 years. However, my research has been thru asking the doctors and surgeons. I only recently discovered that there was online help, I just never thought about that possibility, being entirely too busy for tv or computers most of the time.

Things are bad enough, without having to feel like I need to justify myself. I thought I was doing really well, got some great info yesterday in addition to all I have gleaned from you guys, then I read this thread . . . . . i am almost afraid to come back now.

I was in the middle of packing and then discovered people in chat. I was really late for a long drive. My daughter is choosing to take this optimistically, since she sees mom wigging out she knows how silly and fruitless that is. I also felt that in the chat, you all knew eachother and everytime I attempted to jump in I felt ignored and shut out.

Ok, I am indeed stressing out, don't mean to sound harsh, but I am really upset now, and those words, especially by Ross, hurt.
