I'm glad I'm not the only one with trouble keeping jobs. I too have a big mouth with the bosses...I have a very sarcastic sense of humor so they never know wether I am serious or not

Gypsy...I fully agree with you on getting yourself stable etc. before trying to take on any more in your life. There have been times when I can't lift my head off the pillow let alone work.

I too have a husband who has been able to support our family. He has stuck by me even when I ran up a huge debt...damn the malls....and ruined our credit.

Thankfully I am stable enough to work part time right now but it is still a struggle. I try and take each day as it comes and get through each situation at a time. Still take things way to personally...then there is the drive to work where I try to contain my road rage!

Hugs to all of you!

ok now I have just had a bp moment lol I'm going to try this again for the third time. Since I'm unable to work I have become a full time housewife. I don't mind at all, but it can get a little lonely sometimes. I just want to say that since I realized that this group is only a click away and their is so much understanding and compassion I don't feel so all alone.

When it comes to the road rage I get that too, so my daughter and my husband do a lot of the driving for me and I am just not allowed to go out around rush hour It's better that way for me and for the bozos on the road. You know what I mean? Jeanne Whew I guess the thrid time is a charm

I could use a little help and compassion, I know I don't personally know any of you guys, but I feel that when I need a little help I can come here. Well here we go....My son and I usually have a very close relationship so what has happened has really hurt me. I think you will understand. Since he has gone back to Iraq I have only heard from him 2 times which in itself is unusual. Then yesterday he deleted me off his myspace and thats the only way I can communicate with him. It hurts very badly and being the bp person that I am I'm not handling it to well. If anyone has any advice that may help I would really be greateful. Like I said before thank you for being with me. I'm glad I am not alone. Feeling a little down....Jeanne

Dear Armymom...that sounds odd to delete you off of myspace. Maybe it is some kind of thing about being in Iraq. The Army should have a way to contact him if you cannot get him by internet. Get in touch with the USO or call the base from which he deployed. A lot of people who deploy get depressed over there and this may be a sign of a depression. There may be a logical explanation for this.. I really feel for you and hope you will be ok...let me know if you hear from him.

Armymom...It is possible that he deleted you by mistake or he was told by his unit commander to delete the my space account. Some unit commanders have a problem with soldiers having those sites and if they say the wrong thing to someone or post the wrong thing they can be told to delete the site!

Also, when my son in law was over there he wasn't able to contact my daughter but every once in awhile (a long while). He was always "out in the field" and when he was at a base the lines to make a call were sometimes several hours long! As much as he loved my daughter when he had to choose between a shower, a hot meal and sleep or calling her..

As far as contacting any one yourself, usually when units are deployed they leave behind some type of 1st Sergeant who can deal with any communication problems. You may want to look into a family support group as well...I'm sorry I don't know if you are near a base or not...

If you really need to get a message to him you can do so through the red cross but that is usually for emergencies only.

Good luck...Hugs

I don't like malls either Yuck! But what I do like and love very much are dogs. They are the most loving, compassionate, understanding, and forgiving furry people in the world. I couldn't live without a dog in my life. She helps me when I'm lonely and when I'm happy it doesn't matter. Well I hope everybody is ok today. I still haven't heard from my son,but I am keeping my hopes up. One thing I was going to say is that I have been really tired latly. Not in the mood to do to much. I'm hoping I can snap out of this soon. Hope to hear from you guys soon...Jeanne

Dear jeanne...I asked my daughter and she said the same about the facebook being something that some of the units are asked to not use while in Iraq.

I don't know why. let us know if you hear from him....hope you are ok today...

ArmyMom when my stepson was in Iraq it was sometimes months in between hearing from him as others have said he was often"out in the field" in line for the phone or for the shower which he said were few and too far between.Take care and keep a good thought He will hopefully be contacting you soon I know my husband and I hated the inbetween times when we didn't hear anything and were imagining all sorts of reasons why he hadn't called and then when he did he would say I've been real busy or I've been real tired .God Bless You and your son AMOM

Hi All,

I was very active on this list for a while, and I'd like to be again. But every attempt for the past month or so has been...well, ignored. Is this because the site moves so fast (and my brain moves so slow!), or are my opinions not wanted? I can deal with either answer and wish all of you the best, no matter whether you want me or not.

Blessings,

Beccaboo

Dear Beccaboo,

THAT is a very good topic, and your question is one we should perhaps ALL answer--FOR OURSELVES!

I personally have posted dozens of topics (more or less) which received no replies, if that's any comfort to you. ...and that doesn't bother me, because:

1) maybe no one understood my post;

2) maybe no one could identify with my post;

3) maybe everyone agreed with it, and thus found nothing to add to it;

4) maybe I didn't "invite" a reply;

5) maybe I didn't need a reply.

Maybe, maybe, maybe...!

I don't know why I didn't get any replies, and it doesn't really bother me.

Oh sure, it's gratifying when someone takes time to reply, but....

Remember (and you can see the numbers on the forums page)that for every reply you get, there are many more folks who have seen your post, and you will never know that you have helped those "silent ones" in some way--and you MUST TRUST that you have helped others, even when they don't acknowledge it.

So, if you feel like saying something, SAY it. I can guarantee you that, when no one answers you, SOMEONE is ALWAYS paying attention to you! Okay?

We all love you, and, yes we may not always relate to what you have to say. That's the way it goes. I accept it, and my life is a lot more peaceful. After I get my post up, it's out of my control, isn't it?

We still love you anyhow.

I says my say, and I takes my risks!

Now, for your own peace of mind, here are links to some of your posts, so that you can see, by and large that no one has really ignored you.

800 MDJ replies mentioning Beccaboo

If anyone else feels like you're being ignored on this forum, maybe you also might want to take another look.

Keep comin' back, Beccaboo, Okay?

With friendship and respect,

Jim
