Re: [TMIC] Support groups
Dear Kevin, Thanks for setting me straight on my wandering thoughts. I did go back and re-read some of the email and now I get it. I am lucky enough to have someone in my backyard and she has been very kind in coming for a visit when she is out and about. It's wonderful. I am going to make an effort to get myself out of this bed every day and into my chair even though I get beat up every time I do it. Dave will take me anywhere I want to go and there is another member that is about an hour away whom I want to go and see. The only problem is that I can no longer recall who it is that lives in Detroit, Mi. so I am going to post this to the List as well as to you. You are such a kind, giving and forgiving person. We certainly need you in this group and not off running around to other sites. But, maybe spreading our wings and meeting other people with TM is a good idea. I just want them to come to us. I am such a selfish person. I need to know if anyone is emailing with Gunny. I haven't heard a word from him since Pam died and he was very close to her. If you are reading this Gunny, I had to let Pam go in order to get on with my life and so I quit holding on to Pam and let her go to her new home in Heaven. I realized that I was holding her back from reaching her new home where she deserved to be. Letting our loved ones go is the greatest gift we can give them after they have passed on from this World. There is another home waiting for them and I hope that they have made it there. They deserve to be in Heaven where they belong. And, I hope we all stay where we belong, on this site that has nurtured us until we were strong enough to deal with TM in our own ways. God Bless Us Everyone. Jude.

Eastern Daylight Time, hwyfli...@yahoo.com writes: Jude, If I can pipe in on thisI don't believe any established groups are breaking up at allthis all started from a thread I started asking for folks that were in N.E. Ohio because I was looking at starting a regional group for us here in N.E. Ohio. Some of this stemmed from the fact that Gilly had just recently met for the first time, another TM'r and was thrilled to no end. I posted something about wanting to get a group together because there may be others out there that might want to meet another TM'r and they may just have someone in their backyard. That's when someone else piped up and said it would be a good idea to start posting where everyone was from because even though many of us know each other through the list, there is a possibility that some of us might be in closer proximity to others than we realize which would be conducive to arranging a meeting with other TMr's. I believe that's all this is about. Kevin W.

Re: [TMIC] Support groups
Hi Jude, Our group is not breaking up. We are a strong group. You are correct we each have been there for each other and I am sure none of us would change that. I asked the question about where people lived, hoping that I would be able to meet another TM'er. I inadvertantly left the subject as support groups. I am very lonely and would have liked to meet someone in Massachusetts who I might meet once a month with. This group is going to stay intact ... have no fear :) Catherine From: heyjude48...@aol.com heyjude48...@aol.com To: grace...@gmail.com; cindymcle...@socal.rr.com Cc: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 6:24:07 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] Support groups AOL Email Maybe I missed something...Is our large group breaking up?

It would be extremely helpful to those of us with sporadic memory problems if everyone signed where you are from with each post. I started doing it when I realized I'm not the only Patti.

Your right Patti. I always sign Patti in Wisconsin so I won't get confused with the other Patti's. It sounds like a good idea.

Re: [TMIC] Support groups
No Jude, we're not breaking this group up.someone wanted to know about starting a support group in her state or some such after Gillian wrote of meeting another tmer face to face and how much she got from their meeting.I may not contribute often, but this group is an important part of my living with tm!!

[TMIC] support groups
I received the TM newsletter yesterday which was informative and helpful as it has always been. However in the section where the state support groups were listed I noticed that absent from this list was New Jersey. I being a New Jersey(central) resident would be very interested in hearing from other N.J. members who would be interested in starting up our own group. Please e mail me and I will form a list of all interested parties. Rob in New Jersey
Re: [TMIC] support groups
Robert, I would be interested in forming a group. I am from the South Jersey area, and would be interested to meet other people with TM--in particular, if there's anyone from our area who is younger (I am 22), but really anyone who can relate to the daily routine of having TM would be great. -Terry On 6/27/06, Robert Pall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I received the TM newsletter yesterday which was informative and helpful as it has always been.
