It seems like I have struck a cord with some people and the post was misunderstood. I am not putting anyone down that is not working NOR I am saying that pushing through is good. My thoughts were stating questions not put downs or insults to anyone that has had to stop working.
My statement about people crying or doping out on Pain killers were about those who DON'T have a chronic illness, not those of us who do. (slight humor missed)
My questions were just thoughts and trying to see who else works through pain.
This will be my last post here because it seems that people are taking things to heart and not reading what has been written by others. The atmophere of this site has changed. I am not sure this is a site I want to be apart of anymore if simple statement and questions are taken out of context.
Best wishes to you all,
Roblyn
I understood what you meant. Some people are just sensitive. I've been considering taking off too, but we'll see.Sorry I misunderstood. I hope you don't leave. I guess I am sensitive to the fact I am on part-time disability. It is the first time in my life I have been unable to work and I am soon to be 55. I did not mean to hurt your feelings.
Please don't go. I feel very guilty if I contributed to your feeling bad.
I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. My post was a view from the stay at home mom side of things.
I didn't think you meant it any other way than what you meant....and hope I didn't offend you with my comments either.
Sure would hate to see you leave. Don't do that.
Oh please stay. I don't think you said anything terrible to any one.I took it the way you intended and I understand completely what your thoughts were. Please don't go, it was an insightful, thought provoking post and a few people took it the wrong way. They are exactly the thoughts I have had myself, sitting at work, or running through my life like a crazy person.I am tired of all this touchy feely stuff. The post about pain and working was just friendly viewpoints from everyone who has something to say about it. Willwin2, if you are going to get your feelings hurt that easily, maybe you should go. I thought it was a very thought provoking, friendly debate. It seems like everyone has their panties in a wad and anything that anyone says is being taken out of context by either the original poster or someone else. Geez, come on guys, lighten up. What the heck is going on???

I didn't find anything even remotely offensive in the posts. Our lives are already stressful enough without adding to it. We are here to share ideas and support one another. If we all thought the same, these boards would be pointless, not to mention boring. Please don't sweat the small stuff!
I think Roblyn was just jacked up from her doctors appt that wasn't satisifying to her. Maybe this will blow over. It seems like a lot of sensitivity about a whole lot of nothing.

Phats, you are the one that came down on willwin. I cannot believe you are
