NY Dinner (More like drinkfest) Update new

Yooooooo... Tommy NY here reporting in... I am a wee bit hungover... I got an early start by meeting up with a buddy of mine down on Wall St. for a couple of quick pints then headed up to the pub...

Dalia and her hubby were running a bit late and so was Sinead and Padhraig. Not a biggie because I just tlkaed with the bartender and listened to music.

Sinead and Padhraig were the first to arrive and then Dalia and her hubby...

I can only say that it was ne of the best nights I had out in a long time. Sinead and Dalia are extremely nice and lets just say their pictures do not do justice to how pretty they are in person. Their significant others, nicest guys in the world. I would definitely go out and grab a few pints with the boys any day. It was just a great time and it felt like we all knew each other for years. No awkwardness at all at least on my part.

Now Tina, I know you'll be looking for pics. Sinead has got a handle on that. There are some pretty good ones. Oh, and you can ask Sinead or Dalia if my NY accent was prevalent at all last night...

good times indeed. I am paying for it today but it was well worth it.

Tina, as for those who drank... It was really only the boys andSinead. Dalia had cranberry juice and still there were many laughs all around. I am actually sad that I only got to meet Sinead and Padhraig for a few hours... Dalia and her hubby I am sure I will meet again soon.

Hi there, Tommy. I don't think I'll be coming to this web site anymore for several reasons. Sorry. It makes me very sad but I think I need to do this. You see I get hurt very easily and feel like I know you some of you as friends. I really don't and have gotten my feelings hurt a few times now. I tried to delete my profile entirely but could only delete my photo and profile info.

I'll miss all you guys though! (Espcially, in no particular order: Tommy, Casey, Paula, Beth, Sheri, Dalia, Sinead, Kimm, Ruchie, Isabel, Nelly, Steph, Bevrs, Heather and LauraSue. And I hope everyone's IBS imprves and great things happen to you all.

Bye!

I am pms-ing an am slighty crazy today. My BF just told me that when I told him what I had done on these boards. He says that my resons for being upset are my own issues and nobody elses.

I will just take a break from thr boards and not leave for good. As if I could ever do that.

I love all you guys. I'm in tears as I write this. Oh god.

I agree with Casey. You have to what you have to do. Take care of yourself and take as much time as you need to sort out what is upsetting you. In the meantime, we will all be here for you when you need. It is an open door policy.

Aww! Tina, I'm seriously touched, and I mean that. I could really just give you a big ole hug right now. Gods, don't I know about stupid hormones... I just went through my own bout of insanity, which is why I've been quiet the past couple days. It's like I didn't dare post anything for fear of snapping or something.

I don't want it to sound mean as you know I think highly of you. Things have just gotten a bit too much for me if you know what I mean. I guess I can't flirt with someone and get close without developing some type of feeling. Huh!

Anyhow, enough said. I'm going out of town and I was supposed to leave an hour ago!

Hi Tina,
I hope you get this post before you've left. I don't really know what happened, but I hope you're okay. I wish whatever it was didn't make you want to leave 'cause you are one of my absolute favourite people on here! I understand, though, if you need to take a breather and have a little time or space or any of that stuff that we all need sometimes for various reasons.
I hope that nothing I ever said caused you any offense or hurt feelings, I would feel absolutely terrible if I did!
I know what you mean about easily getting hurt feelings, I have too in the past been hurt by some of the things people have said here and have sort of drifted away for a bit but I always come back 'cause at the end of the day, the support is always worth it!
We all love you here and I really hope you start to feel better.
**big big hugs**
I'll miss you!

I leave for a few hrs and come back and see all this that happened!!! Geez, I hope it wasn't something I did or said either. I don't think it was I try not to take anyone's comments to heart(actually I don't think I've ever even had a bad comment nor have I seen anyone get one)But sometimes we ALL are sensitive to things that we normally aren't. Being a woman I guess it's just in us. I hope Tina that you get stuff straightened out real soon. You know we will all miss you Like everyone else said, you need to take care of you and if and when you are ready, you know we will be here. Take care.

This makes me sad and I really hope you will be back after a timeout...we really love you and just last night we were all saying how we wished we could meet you in person..I understand things aren't easy at all, and after my psycho two weeks of PMS I can totally understand (not that I am saying you are a psycho or anything - I am caling myself that). Anyway, you need to do what you need to do, take care of number one, but please don't write us off! :-)

Thanks! It was great to meet you as well. I thought you guys might like that place. Sorry I could not stay longer. I kind of messed up. I didn't have a big lunch and after having about 4 pints plus another 3 bottles of beer made me sloshed. I did make my train though! I hope we can meet up again soon and I wish Sinead and Padhraig lived in NY too!

I can't believe I almost missed this, but I'm glad you've changed your mind. I don't really know what happened to make you feel like this, but I seriously hope that you don't leave because you're just too fun to have around! I was even thinking earlier how nice it is to see you around more often.

I think everyone goes through a point where you just need some time off and to take a breather, so do that if that's what you need because you come first, but please don't leave us for good - you're just to fun to have around!! Hugs and feel better!!

I have no idea what's gone on. Seems I missed something but please don't leave Tina! I've really gotten to like you since I started coming to the boards. You are one of my favourite people. I love to read all your posts and see your smiling face in your pic. I hope you feel a bit better soon. The pms monster is the absolute worst but I'm sure that no-one here intentionally hurts other people's feelings. Sometimes what you say comes out wrong in typing cause there's no emphasis in what you're trying to say. Big hugs. I hope you have a safe trip away and really hope to see you back here.

Tina, sweetie, this has totally caught me by surprise. I am in tears as I read your goodbye. I think I know what's going on though. I have sent you some emails and I hope that they help you feel better and come to some resolution with what is best for you.

You are not alone. I was also going to quit the boards because I am so sensitive, and took some responses to my posts very personally. I was hurt because I was only trying to help. We are definately HSP's.

Amy's right. It's often hard to know how the responder is really feeling without a tone of voice to hear, or any body language to see. I also take words at face value and always assume the worst. That I did something wrong and then I get hurt and end up crying.

You have probably left already, but please read my emails to you when you get back and hopefully they can be of some help. Guess these words are futile if you aren't going to come back, though or if you have already left for the weekend. I would miss you dearly. Your face and words on this board bring me laughs, and we share so many common thoughts and feelings. Thank you for what you have already given to this website, and to me personally.

You know my feelings about you babe. Do what's best for you. And if that means taking a break from all this, then do it. I may be right behind you to be honest.

Honey, if you need to take a break, then do it. I have had to do it myself.

I also get my feelings hurt, I usually have pretty tough skin, but there have been times.... It is true, for the most part, people dont intend to be hurtful. I dont want you to leave, I really enjoy talking to you.

Honey, take care of yourself and come back when you want to.

Beth, you're so sweet! I look forward to reading them and yes, maybe they'll help me sort out some things.

Thanks for being so nice Beth!

It's easy to be nice when the person I'm being nice to is such a sweetheart! And yes, get that picture back up there! Now I know how you feel not being able to see me! So empty without a face. I'll have to work on that! Maybe by spring?

I'm still not really sure why you left, and you don't need to share that with me. But I have a pretty good idea, and it is expressed in my emails. Just so happy to see you back. Like we said, these boards are addicting. I have come so close to going away, but always find myself logging in in the morning, at work, after work. Even though I get my feelings hurt easily, and quite often lately, the good feelings I get after reading posts from Casey,or Tommys sentimental post last night, or all the other uplifting posts, those somehow can help to cancel out the ones that hurt me. And those,I guess, are the ones we must focus on, and try, as hard as it is, to leave the other ones out of our minds. But I know that is hard when you have a sensitive, thin skin, as we both do.

That's when we can bounce it off each other and get an outside opinion. Laura Sue did that for me when I was feeling slighted by a post, and it helped. Yet there were once again two posts just yesterday in response to my posts that tore me up inside. I was trying to help and also to get help and the replies caught me off guard. I immediately felt this pain in my gut, a sad pain, a hurtful pain. And that is not what I need from these boards. I have a hard time filtering out the few hurtful replies, from the many,many helpful and wonderful people who provide my daily "fix" of feel good words!

See!!!! That's why you need to get a picture. I'll try to get my old one back.

I'll email you tomorrow the reaosn that I left. Not sure if I should share it online. I will be more cautious now! It's a few little things topped by a bigger thing that was just enough to upset me.

If people respond rudely to your posts (as one real idiot did to my advice for him) just ignore it. Seriously. Move on to someone who has something positive or nice to say.

Part of the reason that I felt like leaving the boards was because I find that I'm almost addicted to them! I know I may not be on them as often as some but I do check them as often as I can. And I do feel like a lot of people here are way more than on-line friends.

Anyhow, I'll email you tomorrow as you probably do know what this is about.

Have a great Sunday. It's gorgeous here, very mild and sunny.!

I think I will just not post my "helpful" or what I thought was helpful advice to this person anymore, as it is always attacked as negative when I am only trying to help. You will see the details in the emails I sent'.

And yes, that is part of the reason I think about leaving, I really think I have an addiction problem to these boards. To the point where I log in first thing I wake up, at work it is interferring with my new job, after work. My apartment is a serious wreck, I haven't been to church in over a month , I don't call people anymore, or watch the television shows I used to enjoy, or started my knitting lessons. At least you get out and do yoga. I don't even make time for that! Sometimes I even eat dinner and lunch while on the boards. Okay, I'm out of denial, now I must come to accept this as a problem! Does it have to be all or nothing? Can I find a balance or limit the hours?

Everytime I go to log off, I see another post I want to open up or reply to, so pretty soon, 3 hours have gone by! Okay, that's a totally different problem.

I do need to go to HFS and get some stuff. BTW, I found some Red Lentils yesterday!!! Had to go to a HFS. Also got some canned chickpeas at Trader Joes. So will have to think of some things to do with those!

BTW, how many hours ahead are you in Canada from the US. It's like 1:30 pm here now. If your still on?

Ya, I try to not reply to people's posts anymore if they are cranky. he he

I try to stick to my own rules. No boards before work, very minimal boards AT work (as my desk cubicle area is not private at all), and if my BF is home (he's at work until 9pm tonight) then I should see him so he doesn't feel ignored. It's tough because everyone here is so interesting!

Glad you got some red lentils. As for the chickpeas, you can make hummus, chickpea curry, chickpea salad, etc. I can look for recipes if you'd like.

Right this second, it's 2:42 pm.

I thought it would be more. I think Australia is like 6 or 8 ours ahead of me!

I make rules too on computer use, but then break them! I do need to start cracking down though. Like, I'm not even dressed yet and it's 2:10 pm!

I'd love a chickpea recipe too! The brand I bought has beans, water, ans kombu seaweed in it! Ever hear of kombu seaweed? Is it safe? It's Edens brand Organic, but that doesn't always mean an ingredient is safe for us.I picked this one up because there is no salt added.

Yeah, I guess we're not too far apart time-wise.

Get dressed! Just turn off the computer and don't look back! You can do it!

I'l look for recipes for you. Seaweed is harmless as far as I know. I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm working on it! Maybe the drug my doc put me on yesterday will help? It's suppose to help with anxiety! Let's hope for the best. And now, I really am logging off. It's been a great time had by all! But I must go leave this party to visit the bathroom, eat, and go to the store!

.. but haven't seen anything yet to know what happened? Oh well - that's okay. Just glad you've decided to stay on the boards.

I ditto everyone else with sometimes its hard to see people's emotions on the boards because you can't see their facial expression or hear their tone of voice. I know I've had to re-read a couple posts and imagine them said in different ways just in case the person who said the post didn't come out the way they had intended to! Hmm.. not sure if that made sense. LOL It's too late for me.

That's what is nice about those graemlins! They're the closest things to expressions as we can get, although sometimes I have to remind myself to use them more often.

Hope you're feeling better today.

I had such good fun on Friday night. Yes I was late, due to me getting my nails done to show off my ring and not realising how long it took!! We were still there before Dalia and Asaf though (barely) and I was eyeing Tommy up as he was sitting at the bar, in his Wall Street garb, eventually, with a drink in my hand I approached him and the rest is history. We all really clicked and had so much fun. I drank way too much and died the next day.

Tommy has SUCH a New Yawker accent! It is pure comic book stuff (says the one with the brogue) Dalia and I chatted girl talk for ages (she talks almost as much as me and is so sweet) You'd think that Tommy Padhraig and Asaf were lifelong buddies, they got on so well. P and I are going to hook up with Tommy when he comes to visit Ireland in April.

So much fun,the pictures will tell the story better than I am ..they are coming I promise.


Tina, I am glad you are hanging around, I would really miss you.
Tommy had to leave before us to get a train home but it was 2.30 before we got back to our hotel. Saturday was not pretty at all at all.

I am just home and am exhausted, I will post the pics later today or tomorrow, I am going to catch up on sleep now.

..but those BAD bartenders kept feeding me WAY too much vodka- don't you have spirits measures over there?
UI managed to get to a trader joe's and Dalia gave me directions to Wholefoods which is the most amazing place ever. I bought a million Luna bars to bring home too.

bed calling, talk later

Nahhh no spirit measures my dear. We don't put a limit on the amount of spirit a person can have on one night... Things is all that spirit gives you a wicked hangover the next day, doesn't it! I can sympathize, I was hurting myself Sinead...

I'm so glad you guys had fun. To meet new people have them seem like lifelong friends is INCREDIBLE! :grin: :grin:

So Tommy had a big accent huh. Too funny! :p

Please do post pics. Maybe make a brand new thread just for that so we don't miss it. This one's kinda long and kinda gives me bad memories.

Thanks. :cool:
