Dancing, I know what (and who) you’re talking about and I agree….

And I’m okay with being unique

H and L – I was waiting for some of my real life people to chime in! haha

I missed that saga. I always hope the adoptees like “M” (the hostile adoptee/adopter on you know where) are fake, but her anger at first parent’s worry me that she is indeed real.
You are unique though, because I came online in 2000 and you are the first and ONLY safe haven mom I know.

Wow. I have to break it to my best friend that she’s been living with a guy named George for the past year.

And yeah, those same exact three things really got to me this week too. It’s just unfathomable to me how people justify these decisions. It all comes down to being willing to hurt and victimize someone else for your own ease and comfort.

I’ve often wished there was a moral court where we could bring people up on charges of just being WRONG.

Jenna, To be honest, I’m okay with people thinking I’m fake. At this point it doesn’t matter. It was mostly just that at the time I was dealing with other stuff too and it seemed to magnify the effects, you know?

And Coco, you can be the great pumpkin, I’ll take the Easter Bunny

Sweet, I’ve actually heard of stuff like that happening too….it’s so weird and pathetic. I’m sure there’s definitely some psychology behind it though…

And no muse, the quake didn’t reach Dayton

And yes muse, I think about writing all the time….

This may get a little long winded, but at a hospital here in Indy, Someone introduced a girl she worked with to “her brother” who was in the Marines. The girl emailed the guy for almost a year. To make a long story short the “brother” was actually the girl that was supposed to be the sister. She had faked the emails. She had even used a voice changer to talk on the phone. They never did meet face to face. The girl eventually found out. I can’t remember how, but I think some kind of hole in a story.. The girl got fired from her job at the hospital.
So I guess my point is that there are people who will go to extremes to fake things. How that is beneficial, I do not know. And how this would be beneficial to you is beyond me!! You would have to do a bunch of research on the topic, esp for the emotions involved.
Of course I do not mean that you are faking by any means…but there are those out there that do.
