"But it's through Mary's kind of open, honest blundering that we all learn. She may have been a dumbass in this particular circumstance, but she was an honest dumbass, and there's not much more we can ask of one another." That is true when you look at it from the first post and I was going to let it go with my first post until she came back with an attitude, blaming someone else for her actions and changing her story to a native story to get herself off the hook. That is when her dumbass honesty went right out the door. Then the others pile on. Glad C3D ended it with the truth about euthanasia. I'm with you Z-Chick on the instant brain death method. She really would have faired better if all that 'support' didn't show up to aggrevate the situation. Who am I to judge her - nobody. I've cleanly killed plenty of animals and that IS hypocritical from a death standpoint. I am sorry but I could not let it pass because she was killing a hapless creature and looking for congratulations. She faired FAR BETTER than the frog and we all know she will do the same thing again - she said so directly. She will control her pond against nature. Wait until the first snake shows up, or raccoon, or heron...... If anything - other posters will learn not to be such dumbasses but I don't believe it will stop them from posting to learn. This person was not posting to learn. I am done with it (I hope) unless another dumbass pops up (and then this dumbass will jump right back into the thick of it). Not much more I can say to the original OP however - as I shredded her actions to the maximum already (good, bad or ugly as it may have been). The 'plant boy bring it' was hysterical BTW. Good thing you said that because that post hit about 3 major nerves for me and I did hold back. Anyway - who wants to lay down money that thread is not done:-)

Our intention was to get the questions answered for those who posted yesterday & today...so they don't roll off in a matter of hours. Since we don't know what's going on, we thought this might be a temporary solution until we heard more. If it becomes a long drawn out process, then, yes, we need to move on. However, posting about a finished kitchen or just to mention a new product isn't critical right now...we want to be able to respond to those who are in the middle of problems. If the threads come and go too quickly, then we can't help. I did notice, though, that we're up to Page 5. Whether that means we're rebuilding the pages, I don't know. But it's not just a matter of missing pages, I think it's a matter of missing threads that just happened to reduce the # of pages down to 4 (and now 5). Several of us have noticed that threads that should be in the first 4 pages are missing and there are gaps of hours b/w posts...which we all know is extremely rare on this forum. So, no, this is not a long-term solution, it's a very temporary stop-gap measure to help those who need it most right now. I'd say if we don't hear more positive info by this time tomorrow or know for sure that nothing further is being lost, then we should resume "business as usual".

I've sent several emails to GW over the past few years but I have never received a reply. Don't be discouraged if you don't get one, and I have seen results without a response. Please, add to the first link, as well!!

I'll go- but I just have to make sure Medusa is ok and feels good about going too. We all need to be there for her-no matter where she is...

Boy-the new site is wonderful! I also don't like the idea of "GW" not wanting us...Did they leave the same message for the "singles" site where there are children estranged from parents I wonder....

Hi Stray--like you i keep coming back here to check on medusa-wish she would come over to estranged stories and we could support her easier. I like we can message each other direct too. but I will not abandon GW as yet as there are still others-new and old-that need support as well. as u can see i am having a good day myself and i think whe we can be of any service to someone it helps take our mind off our issues with estrangement. This was the place that saved my life-literally and Stray u were part of that too. Take care all and god bless

Hi Straycat,
I see you've been on the singles site :)

To answer your wondering, no they did not leave the same message there. I think that may be because we have two threads out of thirty dedicated to estrangement, and one of them is maxed out at 151 posts. The Parents Forum has seven threads out of thirty (nearly 25% of the total threads on the first page)and none are maxed out. Just my .02.
