Snowflake Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hi, all. Been a long few months in our household. Still living with the parents, but work on the new house is coming right along...the foundation is in, the septic system has been set and the pond dug and fill dirt spread. We "adopted" a new baby girl. Her name is Cookie and she's the cutest little brown puppy I've ever had chew my fingers and neck and ears and hair... (owie) Tests came back on my cognitive issues. I have a problem with visual memory...should be "fixable" with some therapy and relearning of skills - basically changing everything I do visually (like using the telephone) to verbal skills (working through a series of verbal cues instead of visual ones). Found out my IQ in the process... Weddings are being planned (two), yardwork is up and coming (just getting a yard) and work has become quite the "bad place" as of late. I am dealing with "real life" stress right now that is reaching a pretty high level...and so: I am going to be taking a break from the board. I am totally fed up with the negativity and nastiness from some people and am no longer going to subject myself to reading it. Having a different viewpoint or supporting someone with a different viewpoint should NOT result in a public bashing. I have never claimed to "know it all", just posted viewpoints that may differ (and ya know, even my "welcome" posts are different...hmmm). I will still check my PMs and my email and I may post occasionally, but will not make it a point to be here as often as possible as it is doing ME no good. Remember, this is a battle I am fighting, too. Please, play nice. Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renee_ky Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Becky- I am really sorry to see you going, I hope you come back soon. You REALLY make a difference on this board, and I hope that sometimes it benefits you as well. It sounds like you have your plate full with work, home, weddings and just taking care of yourself. Wish I lived closer, I would help! Take care, hope to see you back soon. Maybe with pictures of the new house. And maybe a picture of the cute little finger, ear and hair chewer. I am sure you will enjoy your new baby girl. I sometimes wonder what Scott and I would do without Sage (expecially Scott), he is an 80 pound Samoyed that LOVES his Daddy! I will be praying for you!!!

Lisa O Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Gosh Becky, I guess you already know that I think you are wonderful. I wish you all the best and hope that you will be back as soon as you feel ready. I am sorry to hear about any negativity - I hope it goes away.

Addie Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Ah, Beck.... This place is not the same when you're not around...but I understand the need to gain a little distance on the negativity. It's been a bit hard to digest lately. Keep in touch...and I know spending some time with that new puppy will restore the smile to your face! Ain't nothing in the world quite like a kiss laced with puppy breath! Hope to see you back soon with the well all refilled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Membership in the CRB Club is not revokable and it is required that you still show up in chat....(sorry you're not leaving me here alone with these guys Beck). Wishing you all the best and keep in touch. Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Silly girl! You won't be able to stay away any more than I can. You will be reading and those itchy little fingers won't be able to stand it for long. That witty brain of yours (even if it needs a little re-working right now) is always going 100 m.p.h. and you've got too many ideas, thoughts, jokes and opinions. Besides, how are we going to know how many times that cute little puppy poops on your new floors? Seeya when you get back, sweetie! Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Well, Becky, apparently Peggy was right.... Hard to swallow, I know . I just saw a brand new snowflake post! No, really... take all the time you need. You need to worry about your battle foremost. There's some irony to feeling assaulted on a support board. I was involved with that on both ends, as you know, and it sucks big time. David said a few of the things I was going to say so no sense repeating them. But try to remember that not everyone handles things the same way and try not to take it personally even when it is dished out as such. It really isn't personal--it's that this crappy disease plays with the mind--of caregivers and loved ones too. Just want you to know you are loved. PS. Apparently, David C said the things I was going to say-- somewhere other than on this thread. Probably on Luvmydog2's thread. Sheesh, my mind is having some issues of its own.... elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAnn Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Oh Becky, I am so sorry that you are going through so much right now. You have been a constant source of laughter, support and friendship and I will miss you and your posts terribly. I understand needing a break. The news of late has brought me down as well. Please recharge your batteries and come back when you are ready. Good luck with the new puppy and the housebuilding. Your Friend, TAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ry Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Becky, Well come back and give me heck on my joke postings. If you do not I am going to load up the Just For Laughs forum with blonde jokes. I have started already. Even the Just For Laughs form stirs up the negative crap. Your opinion is always welcomed in this household. Best of luck to you and your family getting settled in the new house. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debaroo Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Becky, I PM'd you, but just wanted to post for all eyes to see... I am a HUGE fan of your posts , and I know that Ry will go crazy if you skip out. At the same time, I don't want to be selfish. So, take a break if you need to, but please come back to us soon. I, for one, appreciate your honesty and never felt you were cruel or anything, so I don't know why anyone would be cruel to you. You are such a huge part of this board, and have become a very strong link in the chain. You're family, Snowflake, and I'll miss you, too.

You make me smile, laugh, think, ponder, question and gosh just lots of things. I sure can understand needing a break, been thinking about taking one myself lately.

Nushka Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Becky, How will this board be the same without you? I love reading your posts and personally will miss the heck out of you being gone for a while. Please don't stay gone long as we all need you here. I understand that you have alot going on in your life right now and I want you to do what is best for YOU! Still, being selfish and all, I will miss you very much. I love puppies and was looking forward to keeping up with the puppy saga as I did the little frogs. Take care of yourself sweetie and come back when you can.

MayFrog Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Becky, I know this response is a tad late......but just wanted to say what a freakin' boring world this would be if everyone had the same opinion, same perspective, same outlook....... You're a breath of fresh air....always look forward to your posts. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
