Family Chat time

[65rosessamurai]

I'm also in disagreement for this idea. I also don't belive the minority of one person (three at the most) should be what determines this sort of action.

Sometimes it takes the minority to make a big change, sometimes it needs a majority to make a big change. This is one case where the majority should vote. I don't like the idea that I have to be concerned about what time it is to be in chat, I'm already there less and less as it is. And having to deal with the time zones?! Do you want to think about what the time zones from the other side of the world are, then? I think not.

And, I think it was mentioned, if you segregate for "children's discussion", then there will be more and more segregation until it goes beyond reason. Sorry, but there will be disagreements, misunderstandings and other set-backs, but most cases they do sort themselves out.

That's my two yen.

Hi guys,

I don't go into chat much at all... BUT, I did want to make a comment about the diversity of people here in one group. I think it is absolutely fabulous that we have so many perspectives here: CFers, caregivers, parents, friends, wives/husbands, etc...

That being said, there's been a lot of talk of the fighting. We are a big family and going to have disagreements. We talk about a lot of sensitive subjects and CF touches every part of our lives. Parts of our lives that we may have very different ideas about, even though we all share CF. But I do want to ask everyone to cut a bit of slack to us CF-ers that may react or over-react negatively to a situation. I think 98% of CF-ers 98% of the time have a REMARKABLE outlook on life. My family and friends are always commenting on that to me. However... for those of you without CF... think of your worst cold and congestion. Think of that everyday, maybe with fevers. Cranky, yet? Sometimes things may rub us the wrong way, and maybe we're over-tired and had a bad day (insert week/month/year, here). My sister (11 years older than me and without CF) gets in this miserable mood when she has a cold for more than a day... and always says, I don't know how you deal with CF everyday...

I'll even go so far as to comment on another 'fighting' post. The infamous Peanut post. Normally I would have never responded to that. I just got engaged, and my fiancee's family - though well aware of my CF and its implications, just realized what the median age was. I was in this weird place of dwelling on life expectancy (which I never do - I'm quite the optimist) and worrying about how my future in-laws would feel about their son investing in my uncertain future. Obviously, the Peanut post hurt, and came at a vulnerable time for me.

I dont know - my point is, I hope no one will take one bad post as a reason not to join us and share with us <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

I hate to get involved with this post b/c I don't want to get slammed but here goes:

I am fairly new here and the fighting is to be expected. Everyone in life has different experiences to draw from. That is what makes life so interesting and keeps us on our toes.

Here is my experience. I logged onto the chat room one time and I found it a little uncomfortable. I am a mom of a child with CF. I am sooooo new to this. I found a few people on and I had so many questions to ask, but didn't know what is appropriate or how to start. I think it would be nice to have a family chat session so we can talk in a comfortable setting. That is just me. Again we all have different experiences to draw from, that is mine.

I also would like to let you all know I have found tremendous comfort in this website. It has kept my sanity many a night! I also learn so much from each of you!
