<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Julie!!!! Quit talking!!!!!!!!!!! You are not making sense and you are not thinking rationally...Let yourself for one minute consider losing your husband...the pain that would cause.

I won't quit talking on this thread because it was requested that I expalain myself and I am no *****... here I am, answering the questions people wanted me to.
Don't you think I've considred losing my husband, don't you think I've thought about the pain it would cause. It's very likely I will raise my children without a father, very likely I will grow old without the love of my life. It's a though cookie to swallow, but instead of dwelling on it, I love my husband day in and day out and we make the most of everything together. What's the relevancy of that to this topic? That is was bad timing to call Allie out? I'll agree with you on that one. But it doesn't change how I feel about the situation. And please, maybe have the balls to leave your name.
So Sara, you are saying that the people I named can be blunt and honest, but I can't? Maybe I didn't read your reply correctly. and I'm glad Sean doesn't bother you, but he bother's me when he gets off topic in OTHER peoples thread and takes away from the initial purpose of the thread. He can say whatever he wants in his own thread, and sometimes I even take a peek because I can think he has a sense of humor and drives me crazy at the same time. That's not what I was discussing in the initial thread I started about the problems I was feeling with those I named.
Allie, to answer your question, the comment about "the end result is the same" was just the icing on the cake for me. I don't know if it's been the anticipation of this upcoming month or what but I've noticed for the past few months (AND SHUT UP ANYONE WHO ISN'T ALLIE BECAUSE SHE ASKED FOR THIS EXPLANATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) that you have been brutally honest to the point of it being disresepctful to a number of people, especially those who seem to be new to CF, coming on with lots of questions and not quite understanding all that CF involves. I understand that you want to be honest and share with them the realities of CF, but there is a time and place, and a mom with a newly diagnosed child, or a newly diagnosed CFer or (I can't even remember the last topic that ended in a debate, but maybe I'll look it up so you know waht I am talking about) is not ready for that information volunteered to them. It's different if they ask. I feel that lately you have been rude and not thought many of your comments though and a number of people, myself included have been hurt and offended by them. Just as others discuss how they don't like me/what I say, the same goes for others on this board, and theres been a lot of email and PM discussion lately about what the he*l is going on with your posts. It makes me feel like you aren't here to help anymore. You were so different when you were first on this forum. Makes me wonder if it was all fake? But the bottom line now is all the comments to the newer people of the site. That's where I had it. And it seems like you have a band of people who follow you aroudn or who you follow around. Find with me to have a little posse but you step over a line when you all start chomping on new people, or attacking a certain person for asking a question, and you aren't even attacking the right person for pete's sake.
And for the record, I don't hate you. But I dobut that makes any difference to you right now. I don't like what's going on right now and haven't for a while and a lot of things you have said lately have really ticked me off.
Does that answer the question, if not, let me know. (Allie)
