I have to get this out, so hurt and angry right now. And TxCoord isn't feeling much better.
We are both in pain physically, right now from the stupidity of others.Evidently we needed to have had the ability to be in at least three places at once.
No one likes to be lied to, and find out folk they tho't were trustworthy, lied to them and obviously enjoyed doing so.
I cannot explain the nature of our situation at the moment except to say that we are not talking about anyone from Lymenet.
Y'all are a wonderful blessing, and we thank the Lord that this LymeNet board is here. I'll explain more at a later date... but we've walked into a real mess.
Jus' one very upset sad and mad Silverwolfi trying to calm down.

Venting is good, I hope you feel better!
Human Nature.
Sometimes it isn't very pretty.
In primitive cultures, the primary source of threat to human beings is Nature. But in economically-advanced countries, it is not nature, but other human beings who make us feel threatened most of the time.
Human beings are constantly hurting each other in both their intimate relationships and in their social relationships. Yes, sometimes the pain they inflict is physical, but most of the time it is emotional in nature.
With a bit of reflection, it becomes quite apparent that Emotional Pain is the single greatest remaining threat that human beings must deal with in the modern era.
Just how big is this Emotional Pain Problem we are dealing with? Well, it is only responsible for virtually all of the suicides, homicides, acts of violence, and cases of clinical depression that we see every day. It is responsible for most of the wars that have been fought in modern times.
It is also responsible for the sad fact that most marriages, which begin as special unions between 'best friends', end up as painful wars fought by 'worst enemies.' Emotional pain is the biggest continuing problem that most humans will deal with in their lifetimes.
Human beings have displayed an impressive ability to tackle the challenges of biological pain, but when it comes to the problem of Emotional Pain, they have remained largely clueless. In this essay, I propose a 'solution' to the problem of emotional pain.
What is perhaps unique about this solution is that it is not the personal answer that so many individuals have sought for themselves. It requires that we work together to conquer a common foe, just as we have worked together in organized efforts to provide for our many biological needs.
We can do this if we first obtain a more accurate understanding of exactly what it is that we are dealing with when it comes to our sometimes frightening emotional nature. In other words, we need to improve our understanding of Human Motivation.
Why do people do the things that they do? It turns out that there are several motivating 'factors' that work together to produce human behavior.

Hey, <<<<< Steve'06, and lax mom >>>>>,
Thanks for the article,and wishes that we feel better, and the hug.
I read parts of the article to TxC', he's had some similar training,and we find it helpful.
And hugs and wishes of/hopes to feel better are always welcome. We tho't better of the individuals involved in this mess, but they are not worthy of our respect.
We had some 'vibes' that something wasn't quite right,but we tried to hope the best and think the best of the individuals.
Another friend of ours, w/o knowing what is happening said,God knows who belongs in your life and who doesn't...leave it with Him.That is how we will get thru this.
After we do what is necessary in this situation,we will remove some individuals and their toxicity from our lives. We've had to do this in the past, but end up better for it.
Trying to see past our own hurt, and get thru this the best we can. it seems literally as well as figuratively speaking,
we'll be taking out the trash,and we'll feel better for it in the end of this mess.
We are learning a lesson...the pain and anguish comes from the loss of things,that are special to us,and the loss of trust, the feeling of betrayal.But we have the Lord, we,TxC' and I, have each other.
And we have a church full of wonderful folk who care about us!!! So we'll get thru this...tho' we'll need a break just to rest,when we get finished w/ this 'chore' we are working on.
I am learning, that sometimes things are beyond our control...and to do the best we can,and move on... it takes me awhile to get it sometimes.
Thanks so much for the encouragement... I'd like to cry for a bit,but it will hurt my sinuses[since I am fighting flu and a sinus infection. The venting does help!!!
Jus' Silverwolfi feeling a bit calmer now.

Hi there <<<<< Lymetoo, linny w/ a k, and other reader responders >>>>>>,
Looking into the storage unit, everything was tossed about,like we'd been robbed.The movers who got everything in the truck for us,
only found a handful of boxes that hadn't been opened and rifled thru'.
We found a couple of our little 'treasures', but many things we wont know about until we do a box by box search.
Much of the clothing was laying out or piled w/o anything over it. So after a year,in storage,not temperature controlled, it's filthy. Time will tell if we can get the clothing cleaned, fit to wear.
Years back someone got into our home, and we have that sense of violation now. Perhaps more so because we know who did it.
Thanks so much for the prayers, each little thing we find,that was special to us, that isn't broken, is sorta like a Christmas gift!!!
Will check back in hopefully tomorrow, if we are able.
Jus' Silverwolfi and TxCoord too

That's as bad as a flood or other natural disaster! I hope you are able to salvage the treasured items you so desire!
God will take care of the rest.

sorry silver. but glad you come here to vent.
Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :
Hugs to you both!
One step at a time. Breath in, hold it, breath out, and then another breath. Repeat.
Actually, repeat that step above forever and ever, now that I think about it.
Sorry! Trying to be helpful and reassuring in my own clumsy way.

RECIEVE SILVERWOLF, surrender the Weight of the world upon Him..lead us thru that Valley of Darkness, Flee from thee... As all things bow to HIS NAME ! Amen, and Amen..

Hi there <<<<< Lymetoo, 'kayak, Tinn'y, payne, and any other Lymenet readers >>>>>,
Thanks for the prayers,hugs and kind encouragement!!! Payne, that pic' is a beautiful reminder,especially when we have a hard time.
The Lord was stripped of everything,and willingly gave up His life for us!
Tho' we wont be having any more contact w/ the person who trashed us,and our things. I am praying for them...
who knows but God, all the hurts,all the anger that they carry...that they would do this sort of thing to those who called them friend.
So, each time we find something we treasure that is still usable,as this mess gets unloaded and sorted thru' it will be a blessing.
It was a long and difficult journey, Sunday we flew from our desert home, to Idaho Falls,ID, only to find out we had no rental car waiting[mix up long story].
When we found an almost affordable taxi,we finally got to go to our motel in Pocatello ID,where we were stuck because of no transportation.
Taxi...again, TxC' got the moving van early.So glad the mover company allowed it. we got to eat lunch w/ dear friends,and then went to the storage unit.
What a shock to us, we wont know all the damages 'til aprox, 100 boxes and who knows how much loose stuff, are gone thru and checked.
The movers helping us, only found a handful of boxes,that had not been unsealed and rifled thru'.
We are off to eat breakfast,and unload a few things 'til our mover help gets here. It is such a mess,we are putting things in a storage unit near us,and sort a bit a a time.
I am so glad the move is over with,and we are done with Idaho as far as we know... BBL
Jus' Silverwolfi and TxCoord too!

Hi , Jus' Wolfi again,
TxC' is running errands while we wait on folk to help us unload [still rounding up folks].TxC's BIL called most of the area we traveled home thru' is now under winter-storm warnings.
We had heard the word snow mentioned,but except for high winds,the weather wasn't bad. i am so relieved we are back home,and not herding a moving van thru a winter blizzard. God is merciful!!!
Hoping that there isn't too much damage to the things we will be unloading.Haven't found my good Bible,yet, and some other important to us things.
Now of course we realize,that most things are replaceable. But it saddens me, when it is really special items,and family heirlooms,that we were to pass on to the younger generation.
Am still hopeful most of it got in,and isn't too damaged. Some of it is not replaceable. We will continue on,and in the process, we can sort and toss,the junk,and keep whatever got into the storage that is of value to us.
The song phrase comes to me: " This World is Not my Home... I'm just a Passin' thru', my Treasures are laid up, Somewhere Beyond the Blue... The Angels Beckon me from Heavens Open Door...and I can't feel at Home in this world any more.".
My momma used to sing that, and my grandmother too!!! We will enjoy our little earthly treasures here,knowing that some special treasures of the heart,can never be taken from us!!!
We'll check back in later on... Jus' Silverwolfi here
