Bev, I never took you for anything other than a fan of the band...such foolishness...being associated with a member is pretty cool, but that doesn't keep you in a conversation with ppl if you yourself have nothing to offer...and you have plenty...

I'll chime in with the masses even though you KNOW what I think. While I was proud to know early on about your connection with the band, I was even prouder to be able to call you a friend. I've said it many times...this site is a sadder place without you. I would and HAVE said the same about any true Priest fan.
I'm with the others in that anyone who would think that you are here for anything more than to share in the celebration of the mighty Priest and to enjoy the friends who think likewise is a freakin' loon!
Much love, Auntie B.  |

Think I needed to just lay the cards out there, than anything.
She is an extremely beautiful young lady! Have you met her?
Jealousy is a difficult beast to tame, sometimes born from insecurity, sometimes a control issue. None of us is immune to it. It's how we deal with it that makes the difference. I have also written .. a long time ago, I had my chance. There is no reason for me to be jealous of anyone. So that issue is moot. It's only recently that I am comfortable writing to KK, and that is usually through Jari. It's not anything personal, usually about something another member has brought up, etc. lol
I agree. This board is about "our" band, the whole of the band ... all years ... all members, good, bad, etc.
Metal Love, Susan!

Bev I never knew you had a connection with a member of the band and if I did I would never hold a grudge, those who do may be jealous. I do not think of you as less a fan than anyone else on this board. We are all fans regardless of what our knowlege of the band is. Some may have been a fan since the start, some may have dicovered the band today, doesn't matter we are all fans. i think you are one of the nicest people here.

Bev? Why would we EVER hold something like that against you? The bottom line is your friend was married to Ian, they got on just fine for some time and she has a beautiful daughter. So what, it may not have turned out to be the best match for her or him. That kind of stuff happens all the time. Myself, I was only marriend 6 years to my X, but look at what I gained!

I second that motion..... I may only still be a youngin' but i know enough to see myself putting walls up. Won't go into it in detail but basically too many trusts and promises were broken in my childhood which has led me too put "the wall" up... I have to be the one in control basically.. I was on and off with someone for 3 years, end result... I finally let my guard down... but it was too late. So here i am again at the beginning of the cycle... Cruel, but part of life.

Joe, I think everyone has those moments of doubt. When they feel they are where they should be at that time in their lives but they can not make the true connection just yet. It's a painful place to be for you and all involved, but eventually you will come to see the things you want as being the the very things you need. Change is hard. But is makes us all better people.
I'm sorry you lost your soul mate, but there is a window open for you, and all you need to do is walk through it if that is truely what you want.
Much Love Joe! [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by joedraper from Saturday, January 10, 2009 4:43:18 PM)
