I noe the feling I got picked on as a kid I never forgot that wither maybe that is why I love peope so much/

I remember one year two boys called me dog dog How I cried to my mother. I was around 13 and I thought how ugly I was. You know for a long time I really would look in the mirror and think how pretty everyone else was and I was not. SAD!!! It stayed with me for many years as I got older. Oh I could go on. Soooo I know helen how u felt. I think finally as I am an older adult I don't feel that way. Yes I have my days but not many anymore cause everyone has something they don't like about themselves.
Remember in Jacks u said u had chicken legs and i have chubbette legs LOL
Se still things bother me. (little stupid things)

That is why last year for the reunion people said Oh I have to diet..PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
This is what I said
Don't worry if u gained weight, don't worry if u r bald, don't worry if u don't have teeth, etc etc CAUSE WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING AND WE AINT GOING TO BE LOOKIN AT U FOR WHAT U HAVE WE ARE GOING TO BE SO HAPPY TO SEE YA AND KISS YA AND HUG YA SKINNY, FAT, NO TEETH, BALD, TOO MUCH HAIR BODY. LOVE U ALL AND MEAN IT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART LOVE TBONE NOW OFF TO THE DIKE BIKE.

LATER GATERS

Good Morning People. UP til after 3am and just couldn't get out of bed this am.

Welcome Home Geri, from a trip of a lifetime !! How was Alaska ?? I know it must have been GRAND.

God Morning - and Good Morning (natural 'error' to make).

Hope all are enjoying your weekend. All is well here.

DEBBIE- thank you for sharing your beautiful family video.
Your parents look wonderful and you can tell the great life
you all had. Stay strong, with your bro leaving - not sure how
I would be able to handle that. I didn't have a brother but
a younger cousin Manny; and I always said I'd run away with
him if he got drafted. Not nice for a proud American whose
family fought for our great Country. But that's how I felt.
Extra prayers for you! Sounds like ANTHONY M - ANIMAL
had some good advice. HELLO ANTHONY M.. good to
see you again!


HELEN- you're a great role model I am sure, for your daughter
and granddaughter. It's a shame that some kids suck and they are mean.
I recall Debbie's daughter having a problem last school year.
Do you know there are some ex-husbands out there who were major,
verbally-abusive bullies? And even though their beautiful ex-wives
have healed and moved on with their lives, years later they can still
hear those awful comments ringing in their heads at times. (And of
course we know verbal abusers do it because of their OWN Insecurities.)

So keep looking in the mirror and every morning tell yourself you are
beautiful and loved! And we all know 'life is not a bowl of cherries'

so just spit out the pit, put on your big girl bloomers, and conquer each day!


Will make a second post, so this one isn't too long... LOL


.

JUDY - I am so happy mom is coming home and she's in true form. Miracles happen. And St. Perregrine has healed. Praying for her continued heath, and your mental well-being. (I had a dream that Frank had a yorkie shipped from NJ for me. She was so cute; looked like Vienna.)

And yesterday, I was at a festival here in town and a woman had a double-doggie stroller with two yorkies in it. Of course I pretended I needed to sit
down and rest so that I could play with the babies. I took their pix with my cell phone. Loved being with them, but forgot how yippie some pups can be. Either way, it made my day. My best to you always! xxx

i got tears in my eyes from that video deb
and for the comments thanx so muxh

hyhy7464 wrote: true story
there was a girl in the neighborhood nobody liked
the kids felt compelled to pick on and bully her
the girl didnt care cause she didnt like herself much either
there were a hand ful of kids that talked to her and were friendly
the girl grew up and slowly watched the kids around her block
get older get into drugs and some died some got sick
and the girl became a mom at a young age raised a family became
an adult still dealing with not liking her life but living for her children and being the best mom she could be not having a good role model
as an adult the girl got some insight into why she didnt like herself
and why she allowed herself to be bullied... she started liking herself just wee bit and accepted the incidents leading upto why she felt the way she did
as she met up with some of the kids that used to bully her
the kids now adults themselves actually apologized to the girl
and liked the girl... and she nevewr forgot the handful of kids the accepted her for who she was and will never forget them

moral of this stoy if you see someone you dont quite understand
that doesnt mean you pick on them get to know who the are and accept the difference between you and go on with your life

Helen ..... that was beautifully written.
Im sorry that you had to deal with that growing up

p.s. your girls are adorable

DANNY -
Great to see you here and thank you again for connecting me with Pat.
God Love Her with all she's been through recently; I'm happy she's back
in my life. And you too!


ALL-
Will be back...... lost too much time this morning; slept late.... Have to
do some stuff. And maybe we'll go to the beach for awhile... I usually
go alone; I like when Frank comes - he carries all the heavy stuff. He
bought me a set of those big wheels' pull cart, to put all my shit on and it goes over sand. He used it once and everything fell off (I peed my
pants laughing).. so we don't 'discuss' it - LOL - I've yet to use it.
Need to hire someone to pull it for me.

Have a great Labor Day my Friends!

love and hugs xxx

Hi Franny and Terry and all my Girls on here

Anthony M ......I remember you telling me you passed my house when
you were leaving to go into the Navy ....if you had rang my bell ....I would
have been holding one of your legs also!
Iam so proud and thankful to our Men & Women Serving and Im a Proud American.
But its natural to feel scared on letting you go....
I understand the importance on saying goodbye and being strong
because thats what he'll remember .....so Debbie please be strong and
cry your eyes out after he leaves....

Helen.....you're an inspirtation to all to stay strong!!!!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.....my dad was always so funny. I have to say we had a lot of fun as kids with him!!!

Franny.......I'm doing my best to stay strong for my brother and sis-in-law....but as it gets closer to october I get more scared. I'm glad you enjoyed that little video.....it helps to see them, even just in pics.

Suzie......I love that picture.....how are you?
