I do think there is a difference between someone posting a pic of themselves to be looked at or admired, and someone posting a pic of an airbrushed ideal to be looked at, UT.

Thanks, Jim, for the link.

I believe in what the author is saying. I've been involved in CBT since my ca diagnosis. It has really helped me.

To be completely honest here, these past few days have been very rough on me and something that might have rolled off my back before stuck in my caw and pissed me off. I reacted to it. Maybe I could have taken some time and just shrugged but the problem with an interwebz and a place to rant is that sometimes I type before I digest all the ins and outs, all the ups and downs, all the this and that of a situation. (Lebowski: New things have come to light!) but, then, you know what? fuck it, too. Coz I felt what I felt over that image and the commentary and the general lack of respect right at that moment became the whole moment.

Am I sorry?> Nope. Do I owe anyone an apology? Nope. Am I trying? Yes. I am trying. Learn new things everyday. Things I would never dream would happen to me happen (both good and bad) but all in all - I'm a lucky woman and if there's one thing my good friend told me to be it was to be lucky.

The root problem...

DucksNuts · 07-15-2012, 03:49 AM

There's a lot in this thread that hits home for me. I can see that Bri has changed and I applaud that because she is more solid and loved here...me I have lost my way here.

I went through a phase where I thought I had to show the T&A to get some attention, but generally I dont fit in anymore and because I dont really have that connection - nobody gives a toss. I come back periodically to try and get back in, but it ends up the same.

Its a bit of a vicious circle, I know I have to put in more to be a part of it, but I find when I need a bit of love, it doesnt happen because I havent been around and I get annoyed again.

I really should just move on, but I have made some great friends here and I keep coming back.

So, I put my hand up to say I have enabled the objectifiers and continue to do so, but its for fucked up reasons.

Sorry

Awww...I still love you Ducky, even if you don't show us your T&A anymore. xxx

Big Sarge · 07-15-2012, 04:04 AM

I think it all boils down to the women on here being bitter old crones. You're just jealous of how the men have matured majestically on this forum while you wither away...............................at least that's the way Gravdigr explained it to me. Face it, after 30 most women are so haggered we'd be doing them a favor to put them out of their misery

DanaC · 07-15-2012, 04:49 AM

Ducks...we all love you. And when you aren't here we all miss you.

ZenGum · 07-15-2012, 05:03 AM

Ducks, ... What Dana said.

Sarge, you naughty, naughty boy!

DanaC · 07-15-2012, 05:05 AM

Not to mention Ducks tells the world's best spider stories.

I have related the huntsman drama to friends and relatives and the response has been a uniform ohmigodnoshudder.

Trilby · 07-15-2012, 07:21 AM

I do miss you when you're gone, Ducks! I think you are a very cool, independant woman. I reallly like you!! I'm sorry that that has not come through to you.

Stay here. You are very much needed and very much wanted.

Ali and I have some fundamental disagreements and I, stupidly and xenophobically, thought you Oz chickas would stick together and you not want to hear from me, etc.

Isn't it weird the things we make up in our heads?

Lamplighter · 07-15-2012, 11:39 AM

Sarge, you need to add a smily-face, or you've just blown it BIG TIME.

limey · 07-15-2012, 03:07 PM

Sarge is always like that - especially when it's his time of the month ...
