NOTHING you say could offend me, so don't worry, as you don't even come close?

I am a polite person by nature. I am not a tambourine clanging Christian, although I (like most people) do believe in God - no matter what one's creed or belief is.

I have known many cancer suffers (personal friends) during my lifetime who have not been as fortunate as you and Foxy - ie continuing to survive and having a chance of getting better and living "quality life".

I happened to have attended a personal friend's funeral two weeks ago.

From your posts, you obviously don't like people to offer you
best wishes for your continued recovery ......I'm not sorry I did and do hope you continue on the road to recovery.

I don't make "snide" remarks at anyone.....I have no need you, my good wishes are from the "heart".

Life is too short - as we all know.

You mentioned your strict background with disclipine in an earlier post. I also have extreme disclipine in my working life.

Ginx - I wish you well.....

I checked your post history SAINTS, (details are a part of professional life to me, so it is second nature).

You are indeed a very courteous person, and it certainly appears you have done a lot for those who have suffered institutionalized child abuse. Good for you! That IS sincere.

Every sentiment in your post was excepted with good grace, believe it or not; except one line.

It was like finding a nail in the middle of a marshmallow; it ruined all the sentiment for me as a result.

Good wishes do not come on a conditional basis, you should know that.

I hope that this clarifies matters. All the best.

Dear Ginx,

I have never condemned you, directly or indirectly. Read my earlier posts on this thread.

I still don't. I admire people who say what they think. I always have. It's the way I was brought up, and the way I raised my children.

You go ahead and think what you want, say what you want, ignore me (or not) if that's what you want.

Frankly, I don't care anymore.

I have other issues to worry about, and I'm moving on.

I told you what was in my heart - that wasn't good enough - well, I'll just let it be your problem - not mine from now on.
As the Serenity prayer says:

"God, grant me the serenity to accept things
I cannot change; courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference."

I wish you well, as I'm sure everyone else on this thread and this Forum does as well. This is not some sort of competition or popularity contest - nobody is against you. Least of all - me.

Foxy please stop behaving like such a martyr!

Many people do not survive cancer as SAINTS has pointed out. Cuphandle posted in this thread about her major surgery, and that was ignored, even by me.

Can I suggest to you that you look around for others who have far worse problems than you or I. It can do you no good to be so preoccupied with everything to do with you.

If every member of OLO posted about their illnesses, OLO would be logjammed!

Do not speak for the forum Foxy, you are not a spokesperson for it. And don't imply some sort of paranoia on my part about people being against me, or competitiveness. What a curious thing to say..

For someone who 'doesn't care anymore' you show a very subtle but steely determination to put me in my place.

As I have previously said, it doesn't do to upset you

Dear Ginx,

I do not see myself as a martyr - on the contrary -I'm a fighter. I don't presume to speak for The Forum - I speak for myself.

I don't need instructions from you as to what I can or can't do. The Forum doesn't belong to you either. I'm not trying to teach you anything. However it seems that you can dish it out - but can't take it.
You're very quck to attack.

I am fully aware that I'm not the only one with problems - as I've indicated on this thread. If it was all about 'Me' as you put it - I certainly wouldn't have apologised to you - I wouldn't even have considered your feeling for one iota - I would have told you to 'blow it out of your pants' and 'get lost!'

I have no intention of discussing my personal problems any more - I only did it on this thread for the explanations that I've given. If you can't understand that - well as I said - that's your problem - not mine.

Now can we close this topic and move on please - because I really don't see the point in us dicsussing this matter any further.

You've had your say - leave it at that.

Ginx

Am glad you checked my post history.

You are incorrect that I have done a lot for child abuse victims whilst institutionalized...I haven't done enough.

I - and many others with me - are just "warming up for a renewed fight" for justice for all those innocent children who were abused.

I don't believe any issue - in my life - has affected my entire being and heart to those bastards (I don't apologize for the word) that abused so many "innocent" children and all under the "cloth of God" that I was invited to submit my report to the Senate Enquiry in 2004.

Over 500,000 children were institutionalized during the 1940's to 1980's.

Our men were sent overseas fighting a War, our children were being raped and abused back home.....where is the justice......how many pages do you wish me to write on the subject.

What am I - and many others - fighting for now - a Royal Commission Enquiry is the only way these bastards (again I don't apologize) who abused our innocent children - can be named and subpoened to the Enquiry, including the so called "closed records" which these institutions refuse to reveal to the children - now adults endeavouring to seek legal recourse, then and only then will the Statute of Limitations be raised for Criminal charges to be laid on these abusers - I really don't care how old they are now.

Having checked my post you would know that I have been on a seven year journey - in my mother's name - in seeking justice for ALL abused children whilst institutionalized.

My good wishes to you on your recovery - are unconditional, I thought you would have known that as my sentiments to you and Foxy are from my heart.
