Good morning!

I got up way early.... In fact.... I lied. I didn't really have coffee ready yet, in my above post, but it's ready now...
~sip~
I don't think you get any hell points if you lie before coffee.
Oh good ;~D
I think we're doing something fun today, gonna take a drive up to Mount Rainier if the mountain is out today.
If it's cloudy we'll prolly go trail riding.
If the Mountain isn't "out" all the time, does that mean it's confused about its identity?
I don't know where it goes, or what it's thinking, when it's not out. :~D
Don't ask. Don't tell.
excellent
Good morning!
BA CHEF is having a meeting tonight...to actually elect the leadership. My position as "membership coordinator" may begin or end tonight. Either way, I'm content.
The new support group also meets tonight. We're going to be discussing whether or not we're going to change our meeting night to accommodate them in the future...I don't want to and most everyone I've talked to agrees. Once that issue is resolved (it's my only and last concern), I feel like my heart will be somewhat lighter.
I've really drawn closer to those ladies "left behind" by the others...funny how that worked out.
Good luck! - If you want to do it, I hope they elect you to stay on as coordinator. On the night... I guess it depends on whether you want to make it easy or hard for people to belong to both groups.
My stand is that they left and are not part of our group any more. If we go around trying to accommodate every other support group in the area, we'll *never* be able to meet. We have always met on the 2nd Tuesday of every month and there is no reason to change. I don't think we should change to accommodate *anyone* but especially a group that just wronged us so badly.
The idea is silly!
Personally, I don't think people are going to belong to both groups. They may have that in their minds, but ultimately they're going to go one way or the other. I think the night we meet is irrelevant in that. We should leave it as it is.
Our interim leader agrees, but some of the Big Chef leadership thinks we should be gracious. I don't think it's being un-gracious (if that is a word) to just continue on as we always have. We didn't make the decision to leave, they did.
The gracious thing would be for those that left to meet on another night...but they have proven over and over that being gracious is the last thing they intend to do.
I agree with you on that. They left, they should have chosen another night if they wanted to be accomodating.
Here's hoping it all goes reasonably well tonight, 2J.
Yawn... sip.... yawn.
If the other group decided to break off from yours, why should you change your normal meeting day to meet their needs. Isn't there another Tuesday in the month that they could meet?
Amazingly, you would not believe the people emailing me asking if our support group intends to change nights...like we should! And if we don't, I can just hear what they're going to say...
"You are just being mean-spirited!"
That's their "catch phrase". If you don't agree with them, you're mean-spirited. If you don't go with them, you're mean-spirited. If you even so much as question their reasons, you're mean-spirited. If you don't cowtow to them, you're mean-spirited.
My spririt is grieving and sad, resolute and clear. It's not mean.
It really is amazing. Even to this minute I can't believe it and I can't believe that the majority of ladies followed along. It really seems to me to be a glimpse into what it's actually gonna be like in the End. It just shows me that people are capable of following a leader blindly and so devotedly that you dare not criticize or question.
If you would have told me this could have happened 2 or three months ago, I wouldn't have believed it.
See 6257.
Mean-spiritedness is one of my spiritual gifts.
It sounds like a lot of clubs and groups I've known. It's often about leading or following cults of personality. Just like government, but on a smaller scale. :~D
