I justed wanted to say, I do not think you are wrong about everything, I personally feel the topic about alcoholism just got out of hand. Yes we has women love love to talk and sometimes it gets carried away. I sincerely never ever mean't any ill feelings towards anyone on the boards. Like I have before I have been a member of mycoupons.com for almost 9 years.Most of it however has been trading coupons which is a favorite hobby of mine/ Like I also said there was a family board here at one time however things were getting out of hand and the moderators took it away. I finally decided to come to the cafe to discuss things and seek other people's views or thoughts. I never again mean't to start any problems. The only thing I can admit to is that when ever there is mention of my beloved brother Sonny I do become very emotional and that I cannot change. Perhaps I did take the topic of alcoholism too far. but I guess I was speaking of personal views from what is has done to so many members of my family, sadly wishing they were still here. However I want that post in the past and to move forward to more meaningful conversations. On a final note I am truly sorry I said you were trouble and hope to make amends. To keep hard feelings inside is not good for anyone. Ok there . Peace to all. Catherine

Catherine, this wasn't necessary, but it was nice of you. We're fine.

I'm glad all is well. We can just agree to disagree. I don't think anyone ever intended to be mean or hurt anyone. If I did that to anyone, I'm sorry as well. I'm a very sensitive person and sometimes I get a bit out of hand when it's an issue close to my heart. I do believe that I was the first one to call out Katherine about the peace word. I swear to God I thought she meant to type Please...like...let me know please what your favorite island is...just an example...Upon a closer look, I realized that she was saying Peace...At the time I thought it took some balls to bring it up because you know most people were thinking it, but not saying it. Anyway, it was being snarky. Anyone is free to use any word that you like. If you like it, then so be it. Just say what you mean, but mean what you say. People don't like Madonna and may not like my Madonna quote. Too bad. That's what makes this country so great. Some people like Pepsi, some like Coke. Not to make excuses for anyone's bad behavior, but I do think that people in general are under an incredible amount of stress these days due to the economy. It's either that or we're dealing with a bunch of pre-menopausal women who just don't feel their best! I've found that anytime you get a group of women together (women of any age), eventually the poop is going to hit the fan. Someone is going to say or do something, be it the littlest thing, to tick someone off unintentionally. Anyway, it's all good. ~Lisa

Nice.....

Yes ladies I agree with all you have said, we are under alot of stress and just life in general today is so very hard and yes pms and having your period omg, I literally dread that time of the month and , I know when I feeling its coming . I am not myself at all and there are times I just want to stay in bed. My emotions run crazy at 45 I truly wish it would just stop, my doctors say I am 3/4ths of the way to it be done thanks to god after getting it at 11 , its time to say goodbye. Anyway I wish all you ladies a very peaceful nite nite. Catherine
