Rzip,
I'll keep mine short because Shar, as usual, read my mind and said everything I wanted to say. It's wonderful to have an connection with a person like her. I wish that for you someday.
I only wanted to add that you have my deepest apologies for being part of talking around you. I get wrapped up in my own stuff somtimes and in this case, I neglected to remember that there was someone out there in pain who needed help. And that was you. I am in your corner and will make every attempt to be supportive. I will also promise to be honest. I will expect you in return to tell me if I cross the line.
Please stay and keep talking. I want you here.
Peace,
Greg> Rzip,
> In spite of the posts about the Pritzker postings, you are indeed welcome here by me. We can be honest with each other because we do ask the hard questions of each other on PB and discuss the issues.
>
> This has been very awkward, because you are right when you say people talk around you, and that must be uncomfortable.
>
> I have to say that when you've given me little glimpses of yourself, I have felt closer to you. On this board you can post to anything else. But don't count on people responding to your posts. Sometimes they will and sometimes they won't.
>
> You can tell us the hard stuff you (yourself) are dealing with, and we can respond. I was sorry to hear that your job isn't what you expected, or that you are feeling badly about letting someone down. You are dealing with a lot right now, and it's really hard to be Superwoman, no matter how much you may want to.

> I encourage you not to count the posts that get sent to you, or whether people respond to your posts. It is not a place of competition, so you can relax. If you have a good suggestion, or can empathize with what someone has posted, please do so! But, it doesn't matter whether you do it twenty times or one time.
