I wonder that your post has absolutely worn me out within wondering, dear (((wish))) :hug:

And interesting to note, I wondered about Lonely1 in the other thread - the one about where is everyone... because I haven't seen any posts from him for a long time.

I wonder where is the proper place to bring up the loss of a forum member? At the risk of worrying someone by asking this... and perhaps risking breaking a forum rule - this is what I would post if there was a proper place to post this... I wonder.. if (((Phyllis))) :laptop: is at peace ... she lived a challenged life and frequented the chats/forums at both Braintalk and Neurotalk... I think she's "been around" as long as I have.... not sure.
I am grateful for the lessons she taught me. rip

I wonder if you all know, in your own way, each of you has taught me a lesson or two!! or five.... ok, maybe even six!! ;)

:grouphug:

Thank you Addy for letting us know about Phyllis.... :hug:

Oh I missed this! :( I wonder if there is a link to BT...I wonder if she found peace at last. :grouphug:

I found the page on BT...she will be missed by many.

I wonder if you could paste the link to Braintalk ... I couldn't find it... thanks, Alffee :hug:

I wonder how that place has changed! But, change is good. :o

And now we have a face to put with all the memories.

Like you i do hope she has finally found some peace. :hug:

godspeed Ponygirl! I am in shock, we conversed many a night at braintalk ......on insomnia threads in spinal disorders.:(

Phyllis
 

I'm so very sad to hear of her passing.

I always worried so much about Phyllis and tried so much to comfort her on many occasions, however, I think once or twice I was a little hard on her. :(

I honestly didn't mean to be. I was just trying to help without really knowing or understanding her situation I guess.

The internet is bad for that. Words get misconstrued and don't come out with the softness that was meant when it's in black and white on a computer screen.

Thank you very much Addy for letting me know. Sad news indeed.

Yes

Me too

Makes sense. That is a special friend.
Music plays a large part in my life. As you get older it becomes a special sense in a way. Music can conjure up memories long forgotten.

Then again I hear music in nature too. I just wish I had more nature to hear music in. lol !

Oh yes. I totally relate to that.

Yes. I actually did a couple of assertive training courses because of this. I tend to be taken advantage of very easity. Not so much this past decade, but all the decades before that I was. I guess I just tend to look for the good things in people and don't necessarily notice their motives if they have them. I've been burned.


Jung? I vaguely remember you studying Jung some years back. You've probably moved on. ;) Me too. LOL for decades.

:hugs: :( You will heal wish. You will heal.

My daughter is the same. It's unreal with all the study and other daily life. Sometimes I think she just needs some quiet time. Not thinking. Peace. Some meditation. Yoga maybe. The sound of a bubbling brook sounds good. A real one. Not one on a cd or dvd.

Today I read a couple of cookbooks but I'm still trying to finish "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac. It's been a long haul.

Me too.
Thanks wish. I'm plodding along one day at a time.
Always thinking. Always wondering.

I think there are many reasons why people don't post here anymore.

I think that's a massive question we've all asked ourselves. Just me, but I think we're here to learn how to care, and then we care and then we learn more about ourselves. (despite sometimes making bad choices and bad experiences along the way, sometimes forced upon us). That's about it for me in the simple terms. Compassion. I think that by caring for others and our world we will find the way. However, to be able to do that we need to be kind and caring of ourselves firstly. Heck, that can take time.

I truly believe that the death of my mother has made me the way I am today. I am a survivor, mentally strong, determined, strongwilled, self-reliant, and independent. I also keep most of my pain, anger and feelings inside. I refuse to be vulnerable to anyone, especially my husband. The only people who see that more emotional or softer side are my children. That too because of my mother.
