Personally, I couldn't disagree more. I love to read stories, jokes, anticdotes from every one of you. It lets me know that not only do I have this disease, but I'm not alone. And there are other human beings out there who live full, active, fulfilled and fun lives. It gives me hope and joy...not just information.
I do understand that time is limited. So, I will offer an alternative suggestion. If you're writing with a personal story, or joke, trust me...I will read them and laugh and respond. Just put "joke" in the subject line. That way, people with less time can just delete it and go on with their schedule. Keep chatting...I need it, Tim Tim Holder Worship Leader for Celebrate Recovery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (501)224-7171 ext. 1454 Fellowship Bible Church 1901 Napa Valley Drive Little Rock, AR 72212-3913 ________________________________ From: Robert Pall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2007 1:27 PM To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] Chat I rarely if ever write anything negative regarding the group. I realize that all of our conditions are different and that many of us do not work and have more computer time than others. As for myself I do work fulltime and quite often I have to read dozens of e mails to the "whole" group that should be addressed only to an individual. This list is not supposed to be a chat room. The letters addressed to the entire group should relate to issues that may effect many of us. I personally do not want to read jokes. Many of us have bonded with other members and that is great....but it would be greater if non TM matters were addressed to that single person. I think we should always consider the new member to the list and restrict our e mails to the group strictly to TM related subjects. If you disagree please tell me why! Rob in New Jersey
