um, actually the saying is the sharpest knife in the drawer

So glad you corrected me, I told you before I am not that smart. Here are some other things you might throw my way. If it makes you feel good, than have at it. I know I am not smart, or pretty, or witty, but I thought I had a heart, but guess that is not what counts. If I ever hurt anyone feelings, I am truly sorry just chalk it up to me being a loser. Plus anything I say is not important, really who listen to a stupid loser. Once again sorry.

1. You can say I am ugly, that is ok, I will take that
2. I already know I am three brain cells away from a monkey
3. I always finds myself lost in thought - it's an unfamiliar territory
4. I had a brain transplant and the brain rejected me

I know there a tons more stuff to say about me, but that is just a start.

To be perfectly honest with you since certain people who have been suspended stopped posting , the boards have been very calm with the occasional spat or two. There was a perception that there was a club because literally there were some people that were just so damn nasty on here it was unbearable.

The mena boards are just something you grow into and get used to. I have found them an amazing source of information and support

To the original poster, truly you come off as a donkey. I agree with Jenn. We are not paid employees. We are people going through the process. Use your manners and people will bend over backwards to help you.... I would never dream of coming on an advice forum and yelling at people

Dear Ganja Girl:

I can't really tell what the time frame is on the processing of your case (no time line). But I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone in this long ordeal. We all feel the same as you. It's ok to feel depressed and close to tears...But try not to let this heavy sadness linger too long..Do something to make yourself feel happy if only a little bit (like taking a walk in a pretty place, watching a funny movie...) each day. It's the only way to stay sane in this process.

desert_fox you want some cheese with that whine? just kidding. I think I am the only one not pms'ing in this thread. Charles where's that box of chocalate and Midol?

IT'S the internet for gods sake! What club and cliche? I am a cliche of one, saves me from having to kick anybody out. I am a club of one, I can make my own damn rules that way. Somedays this MENA forum is worse than 8th grade.

Ganja I really think you should try not to take things on an internet forum so personally. I know sometimes its easier said than done but come on, dont be crying about posts on an internet forum! Chin up and take it all with a grain of salt!

ETA: ditto to what Amal said, most everyone here has good intentions and we are all a big dysfunctional family...

Most people here know my views about the clique, but I do admit that it has gotten a lot smaller lately.

A chick I work with (well, back in the days when I had a job, that is) gave it to me and its a total score, there are so many little thingies on it a baby can stay busy for minutes! But hey most days its such a blessing to have 20 minutes free. and she LOVES it! most importantly, even at her young age her feet touch the bottom so she feels all biggity when she gets to kick and bounce around

Just to let you all know, I don't have my time line cause; I am not sure where my case is. My husband handles all of that, with the lawyers, my job is to call once in a while to make sure they are working on the case. I admire all you that do all the work, and file all by yourselves. All the paper work and translations of documents, makes my head hurt. Thank you for all your kind words, yes, I was a big baby, and I am over my little crying spell. lol

No put down, just saying, choose your battles wisely. I think it is great to stand up for what is right, but, was this battle that really was about being right? She didn't really put down anybody personally, she just made a comment that no one try to answer her question. I know I don't have that answer, and understand that sometimes people do not always reply right away. But to make this an issue, really, is it that important. How can we stop wars in this world when we can't even get along with each other on a public forum? In the end, what is important, how about children dying of hungry, dying of war, sickness and disease? Now that is something we all should stand up for, or racism, those are the big battles, the ones we should never stand down on, but others are simply "small stuff." I know now, why there will never be peace in this world, because we will always sweat the small stuff while ignoring the big stuff. If only we put this energy into changing the world, we would be sitting sweetly. I know, I am nowhere near perfect, and make all kinds of mistakes, so who am I to stand in judgment of another human being, who is in pain and already having a hard time. Why kick someone, when they are already down an out? Give a person a break; we all have bad days, why make it even worst with a smart comment? I am way older than you, so I think a lot of these come with age and raising children, you just mellow out a lot. I use to say a lot of things about how to raise children, how to conduct your life, and then I had children, and omg, I saw things in a different light. I am very sensitive person and I do get my feelings hurt easily when someone says something nasty or mean. Knowing this I always try to be very careful on what I say to anyone, because I know how it would feels to be hurt. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer so sometimes I don’t’ understand something and take things the wrong way. So when someone asks a question I try to help if I can, and if I can’t help than I just let them know I am here for support. I never wanted you to be hurt Jen; you are most likely a very highly intelligent person, who we can all learn a lot from. I sure know that I learn something, even if it is a little bit of enlightenment, by every person I have contact with. Just my two cents, and just what I feel is right in my heart. If I can make someone feel better after talking to me, than I have done good for the day.

Ganja, well said... that's exactly what I think, too. Telling from your post you are a much stronger person on the inside than many others who seem to be the leaders of the pack. From your words any sensitive person can tell that you have a kind heart and a caring soul, that is a lot more precious than "qualities" like being combative and loud.

Don't let anybody get you down, just because you are different than others. Many folks appreciate people like you a lot!
