It's sad actually, I wonder what has happened to this person in their life that they would be so cynical and PM you like they did in the first place. Maybe the good energies from the love round here will help them out??
I was judged harshly and told to be ashamed

Sharon, My heart goes out to you both. What an adorable picture of the both of you! Sorry to hear of your hardships. I wish you the best, and I am also adding both of you to my prayers. God Bless Jennifer
Best of luck to you. You have an excellent attitude. By the way, I love McD's double cheeseburgers and fries. 
Lisa what a beautiful thought! I've actually PM'd the person and told them I reread my original post and can't see where I had "publicly garnered sympathy", but if they felt that way I apologize and hoped that we could mend the fences.
We'll see what happens. I don't like the idea of someone having a bad day or me being the cause of it. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this person and I could not only mend the fences but become forum friends!
It is very easy to misinterpret things on forums and people often do.
The only thing to do is to send good vibes towards this person and people like them.

While we shouldn't, I suppose we all tend to judge others, although I would hope that most of us have enough common sense to keep our thoughts to ourselves.
I remember years ago thinking how sad it was that a friend of my daughter, a young teenager, got stuck babysitting her younger siblings so often. That girl seemed to have far more responsibility for taking care of her siblings than any girl that age ought to have, especially with a mother who was not working outside of the home. That girl seemed to be more of a mother than a sister to her younger siblings, and I had several very uncharitable thoughts about the mother who would make the decision to have children but then turn the care over to another child.
As my daughter became closer to this girl (I'll call her Jean), we learned that Jean had a debilitating genetic disease. She would not have any children and she would likely die in her twenties. Jean told my daughter what a blessing it was that her mother allowed her to play such a meaningful role in the lives of her younger siblings, how she felt so fortunate to be able to be a mother-like figure in someone's life.
Needless to say, I felt like utter crap. Just about the only thing I can say in my defense is I was smart enough not to say anything to anyone about my thoughts. Thank God I never said anything to add to that family's heartache.
Anyway, I'm sorry that you and your husband are facing such difficult times, but I feel confident that you're facing them with strength and grace.

Just Julie you've been a blessing to me many times on this forum, especially recently with the reports from Crash and the Iolite
Thank you, my husband and I are blessed, especially because of people like you and the others on this forum who are so kind hearted.

Whoever it was on the GG soap opera thread you should be ashamed of yourself. Why you would get in beteween someone and how they decide to spend ther money is beyond me.
It is nice to see the love you and your husband have for each other. You seem like a good woman and I am sorry you went through this.
I hope the individuals who discussed and PM'd you are brought to light. I like to know who I'm dealing with. Maybe whoever it was would now like to explain themselves- I won't hold my breath. I'm an old Boyscout who likes helping little old ladies (just an expression) so maybe instead of attacking you they would perfer to attack me.
Most on this forum are very helpfull.

LOL Robert, you may call me a little old lady. I'm 5'4" now (use to be almost 5'6") and I weigh 118 lbs. The only one who doesn't think I'm old now is my mom, bless her heart. Now she's a little tiny little old lady, but she's the sweetest thing in the world.
Dad, well, he's a WWII bomber pilot and he taught us to be tough. I had the best of both worlds. One parent taught us to be loving, sweet and fun while the other parent taught us how to be tough, be prepared and stand tall.
I was very fortunate. It was a Leave-it-to-Beaver household (more kids though and of course it had it's problems) with Dad working and mom home making home-made soups, dinners, pies, candies and cookies. Every day when we came home from school mom would have tea and cookies ready for us. Kids weren't supposed to have coffee, so we had tea.

Lord knows we get plenty of drama as it is without the need to add even more, so I'd be quite content to continue living in blissful ignorance of the name of the person who PM'd Sharon.
And, as Sharon herself said, we don't necessarily know what was going on in that person's mind/life, either.
I think it's good enough that Sharon is feeling loved and supported.
Sharon, coming from someone who gets emails attacking me every day, you've just got to remember that it's much easier for someone to say rude things when they don't have to look you in the eye and do it.
You and your husband are adorable and I wish the best for both of you! And I hope that person who PM'd you that ....-backwards apology leaves the forum- that's exactly what we don't need around here.

My momma taught me that if you don't have anything positive to say, then don't say anything. Too bad not everyone's momma's taught them the same.
You have my sympathy and support Sharon. I am happy to hear that you and your husband are prepared for the tough times and provide each other such love and support.

Hey Sharon sorry it took me so long to reply, I'm a very slow reader and had to catch up with the thread. I'm sure you remember how upset I was over people pming after i posted certain reviews. So in some ways I know how you feel. I'm very sorry to hear about you situation but I'm glad that you're well prepared for the future. You seem like a very wise woman, I mean working out a budget isn't for everyone. And as always you know you have my moral support and if you ever need anything, you know where to find me. Now as far as the ..... whoever caused you this grief goes, well I think it's a very immoral thing of that person to do. What happens between you and the seller is no one elses business. There are a lot of people on this forum that are just out to cause trouble and upset people, they have no loyalites and no understanding of the dealings that happen between the buyer and the suppliers. So from my understanding so far all the suppliers I've dealt with have been great and very helpful, but then you have their devoted supporters or the people that are totally against the supplier, who cause the trouble. I feel very strongly about this subject, none of us come on this forum to get abused, most of us are here to make new friends and learn from each others experiences. So Sharon as the sayings goes "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me" let the idiots talk, ignore their PM's and comments. Everyone gets whats coming to them.
Could have not said it better my self! R we related?

Sharon, you and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers. Pay no mind to the MEAN people who would try to make you feel bad about your situation. I know words can hurt, but there are many more of us here that support you than would think badly of you. I'm just disgusted...
Sharon,
Sending out good thoughts and a little prayer for you and your hubby. Don't be disheartened by fools, be uplifted by friends...
Wishing strength and love to you and your husband.

All of you, thank you. DrSarcasmo I love that, "be uplifted by friends", I'll take your advice.
Sorry all I didn't report back until now. DH and I went to McDonalds for dinner and met with some friends.
It's best to let it lie. There are MANY good people here and I just want to thank so many of you for you warm wishes, prayers and kind words.
Sharon
