Good morning Roomies!
hahaha! I was just looking over the posts on this thread....lol... you should rename it Shar's never ending thread because a majority of the posts are from me. hahaha...
I so love this group and I missed it when I was out of commission. Speaking of which...what happened here while I was gone? I would have been devastated had I come back and not found you. I just checked my email and I got yours Silken. So...was the Fireplace closed for a while?
Msn is such a pain in the hiney sometimes.
Well...it is so good to be back~both online and back at home after my weekend away. Talk about a wonderful trip I had. The weather was hot hot hot!!!!
My friend Helen had some fish given to her. She has very bad arthritis so I gutted the fish for her and put them in her freezer. I used to work in a cannery when my oldest daughter was just a baby so it brought back memories of my cannery work days.
Please have patience with me if I bring up the issues stemming from the residential school. I know I keep mentioning the things that are affecting me today that have been brought on by those dreadful places. Both my parents went to them, of course in different places. They had those dreadful places all over BC. I'm not sure but I think it was Canada wide. Silken you can correct me if I'm wrong on that assumption. I just cannot fathom what went on in those places. Why didn't the churches do something about the pedophiles that worked for them? Children as young as 5 were taken from their families and brought hundreds of miles away to those places and at night were sexually abused by some of the employees. I just don't understand why they just weren't left with their families when they were so young. The government and the churches sure left such an awful devastation in my beautiful nation. I see so much of the beautiful First Nations people on skid row here in Vancouver trying to forget about all the abuse they endured in those schools and with the younger ones my age, having to try erase what was allowed to happen to us. Some are drowning in beer and trying to forget the pain in a hyperdermic needle that is shoved into their arms. So so sad. I'm so glad that I am an overcomer. I used to be the saddest drunk you could have met. I used to drink to try to erase all my pains and I was never happy drinking. I tried acid in my teens and I was so hooked on marijuana for the longest time. I even tried cocaine once. It never mattered what I did. The pain always resurfaced after I got sober. Well actually it never ever left even when I was drinking. The booze only intensified the pain. Thank the good Lord that He is the one who is going to help me through all of this. I had a life changing experience this past weekend. Thanks Silken for those words because that is what happened this past weekend.
lol... did I ever tell you that I was long winded? I just looked over my post and has it ever turned out so long!!!!!
I guess I'd better sign off now.
Love and big huge hugs from Haisla
