It’s a little bit early for another Open Forum. But I am quite concerned about one of our group today. And if you are reading this you are part of our group whether you comment or not. Most people know that I rarely answer the phone especially when I am working. Also, I am half blind so when I kept getting a phone call tonight while recapping, I was confused because I misread the area code and knew that I don’t know anyone there. It turns out I misread the area code. Because blind. I get so many spam calls during the day I am used to just hanging up on unknown callers. So as I was posting about The Bachelor I kept getting this call. And I had no idea who it was. Then I realized I did not Google the right area code.
Anyway, I know who it was now and I was unable to reach her but this is a very difficult time for her. It is someone we all know and love here and I am asking for your prayers for her if you are the praying type. Or if not just sort of send some good vibes into the universe for all of us. A lot of us are going through A LOT right now and we need to support each other. I tried to reached her but I think her phone was off. I’ll try again tomorrow. Meanwhile, I’m just going to worry. I knew it was an important day and I suck for forgetting to reach out.
I’m not super religious even though I’ve been in the church most of my life. So don’t be offended. I’m just worried about a friend. And to be honest we all need to pray more now, during these difficult times.
Prayers for whomever this is.
Thanks. I would never betray anyone’s confidence but I upset I didn’t recognize the number. Maybe if they wake in the night they will know I am sending so much love. And we are here when they are ready.
Please don’t blame yourself. We be old and can’t see the little numbers. Unless you want to get one of those free phones senior organizations often give to oldsters for free.
She will see that you called and call you back.
💙🙏🏼💙🙏🏼💙🙏🏼💙🙏🏼💙
I know but I wasn’t there when they were reaching out. 🙁 I hate when I get a call and it doesn’t give me a name. I would have dropped everything.
Tamara, I would have accidentally done the same thing! I never answer unknown calls, I always Google to check the number. These days are like that with all of the spam calls. Don’t be hard on yourself. I will say a prayer for this person and for all of you. Hang in there💜💜💜
Sending prayers!!!
🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Prayers to whomever needs them 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sending positive supporting and uplifting prayers.
Prayers for your friend and prayers for you to forgive yourself for being human. Anyone can see that your love for your friend is real and your not taking the call was by accident. Please be as kind and loving to yourself as you will be kind and loving to your friend in need.
I like this post. I try to answer calls but you can’t always. You still know someone cares about you.
Prayers to this person and for a resolution to the circumstances facing them right now.
TT mistakes happen but the important thing is to learn from it. Next time they call you will recognize the area code and can answer.
Thanks Mike. I can’t sleep but I am hope they are. I feel like crap because I was so into a dumb TV show when someone need me. I don’t do phone much unless I am drunk dialing Nanette and Cindy. I hate that people’s name don’t come up on the phone sometimes. So I look and at the area code and I misread it. Nevertheless as soon as I was done working I called the number back. I left a message starting with ” I don’t know who this is but you can call me now.” Then I realized when I called back I misread the area code because I am old and half blind. I should have just picked up. I was more into a show I had been waiting all day for. Also people know not to call me during primetime. I am almost always recapping as fast as I can. But there were several calls. And I shoud have picked up.
Be kind to yourself. You were busy/caught up and we’re going about your routine. You are not psychic and could not have known. Sending love to you both ❤️
I’m the praying type and this group has helped me. Like tonight especially. You tried calling back and then did a forum. And then asked all of us to send love. If she doesn’t call back, keep trying. And hopefully she’s like me and will see this. When I’m stressed or overwhelmed and anxious, and when I’m concerned about you, this is where I come to check.
Aw thanks, Pauline. We are a good group here and I am glad you are a part of us! Here is the thing, I have really REALLY bad anxiety on most days. As someone with anxiety and depression I can tell you this. ANXIETY OVER TAKES EVERYTHING. But today, I had no anxiety. Just depression. WHICH IS SO MUCH EASIER. I pray for depression days crying over every little emotional moment is way better than being TERRIFIED ALL DAY LONG. Sorry for oversharing and glad to have you comment. You are always welcome here.
I am grateful you over share. That’s what makes me feel like I’m not the only one and not alone. See? I came back to see if you were ok and then I get a message from you .. and feel very cared for. Thank you.
I hear you, TT. Thankfully I don’t have anxiety, but depression for years. Especially bad lately especially at work.
Anyway this post isn’t about me. I think you’re a wonderful person. Don’t beat yourself up. As another poster said, she or he will see that you reached out.
I am the praying type and I will pray for your friend. And you, and all of us.
This site feels so comforting to me. I rarely comment but find solace and love here. It’s like I’m not alone, but surrounded by true friends. I join you in praying for one of our own who needs us. Thanks to you all for the great comments.
Me too Safe2c… I have been coming here for years and rarely comment…but I enjoy reading the comments and seeing how everyone supports each other… The world needs more kindness…and it starts with one at a time.
You should comment more often! 🙂 We like nice people, even when we are not always nice.
Prayers for every one of the TT family! We all need them from time to time (always)!
Thanks so much! And you are in the TT family too.
Don’t beat yourself up TT, these things happen.
I’m sure you’ll connect with her.
Sending prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 And positive vibes to her and to everyone here, Times are tough.
Peace and love to all.
Praying! I love your friend circle that you’ve established here. 🥰
As I have said before, in our church we light a candle of joy or sorrow for people we care about, but it can also be a candle of concern. I will light one, I am sure she feels your prayers for her.
Sending prayers and hope your friend can come here and see how much you care and That we here care also.
Praying for everyone. It’s nice to know we can come together on this site when life is too much to handle.
Thanks for sharing TT. Nice to know there is a group who are saying prayers for someone. (And I think we all do the same thing with the phone.)
Saying prayers.
I hope that you’ve been able to connect this morning and that they’ve received all the prayers and positive thoughts.
I appreciate how supportive this community can be!
They have prayers and positive vibes from me not just today, bit for as long as they need them.
I hope you hear back today and that all is as ok as it can be
Saying prayers & sending good/positive thoughts
Prayers to.your friend and everyone on this site. Go easy on yourself TT
That was my mother’s answer for everything, I used to think it was so lame. But I do really believe in the power of prayer. I got my hands on some holy water (Catholic here!) and actually get on my knees. IDKY but the Catholic church seems to think it doesn’t count unless you kneel. It does help. And she/he knows you would have answered if you knew who it was. I hope you have heard from them by now-
Sending prayers for our community member who is struggling with whatever issues that present. God bless this person always and provide comfort.
Praying for your friend in need, and for all of whom we are unaware. I hope you hear back, and it puts your mind at ease. ❤
Sending good thoughts and prayers for who may need as well as everyone.
Always free to give my email if a situation arises where I can help.
Right now I am in the midst of every situation that may cause a reach out. Feel free to use me.
I’m so happy to see you back Cheryl. Don’t ask me to explain it but you mean a lot to me and I think of you often but pray every night. You keep me going. ♥️ And I would love if TT would give you my email address. I’d post it right here but have exnarc issues that I don’t want to infringe on my safe space. Just in case. If easier for you, I’ll shoot TT an email and ask yours if you’re ok with that. If not, I understand and that will never change my fondness for you.
Oh Pauline, your so kind.
I have not been contacted once from my family since ” the event” to see how I am. I’ve always said that they don’t like me, but my son and I were talking about how you guys are who would be there if I said that I needed to talk. Family we are.
Good thing is I finally am over my family, it is pretty obvious I have been feeling accurately and it is not me, it’s them. For whatever reason, so be it.
Of course, my email is given with my permission to anyone, and I would love for any in return.
I’m not sure why after all this time, but you all amaze me. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Well, as you know, this family gets into fights too. But we will never stop loving and supporting you.
Same here. 💛
Oh TT don’t beat yourself up! You are a good person with such a good heart!
Prayers for whomever this is! I hope you are also okay!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
TT this site has saved me so many time’s. Prayer’s to your friend and to whomever else need’s it. She must know what a kind and caring person you are as she reached out to you to begin with. She’ll see you’ve called and reach back out. Thank you for being you. 🙏💙🙏💙
Gives Rhonda a hug. I had a stressful day yesterday and into the morning. Having people and TT here helped.
🙏🙏
Prayers for peace and comfort.. life is so hard sometimes ❤️🙏🏼✌🏼
Prayers for the friend and for all to have softer days and nights. Love, light, and positive vibes coming from me to all the world.
Heard from our friend. Things are okay but prayers still needed through tomorrow.
I hope they’re ok! Will still pray. I have anxiety & depression to the point I attempted suicide. Thank God I’m here. My only point in mentioning that is that your anxiety is completely understandable and you are not alone, TT! Sending prayers, love, hugs n even a little kiss on the cheek! xo
Thanks Linda. I’m always down for a hug. 🙂
Our friend has added prayers.
Prayers and good vibes being sent as i type this 😊❤
That you reached out for prayers for a friend speaks volumes of your character and loyalty Tamara. And people that would be critical of this should be ashamed of themselves. I am a praying lady and I will sure pray for Tamara Tattles friend. Prayers are POWERFUL. We should all have been praying daily for the Ukrainians. Those that survive will never be the same. God Bless!!!
So good that you connected with your friend this afternoon! All of the lovingly supportive comments on this post really uplifted me too. I am also anxiety ridden, as so many of us are. This site always enriches my day in some way. Sending love and comfort to all who need it…that means everyone.
I am dying to have a discussion on the series “Secrets of Playboy”. I’ve always considered Hef to be a dirty old man but even I didn’t realize just how awful he was.
Prayers for your friend. I’m sure they know you wouldn’t knowingly ignore them.
Jaded, I watched a few episodes from the Bunny side. The abuse they endured was horrible.
Just awful. I’ve watched each episode and just about the time I think it couldn’t get worse it does indeed get worse. I truly believe if he were still alive he would be in jail.
Warning though to anyone who may watch, if you’ve ever suffered sexual abuse this series can be triggering.
So many women and so many stories.
I cannot believe how this series about predators on a global level is being ignored. Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. I was told I was dancing on Hefner’s grave when I wasn’t sad about his passing. I had a cousin who was a bunny so these stories don’t surprise me.
The news is just nothing but death and destruction these days. It’s terrifying and taking a very serious toll on my mental health. I get daily emails from a lot of news sites, local news, the NYT, CNN etc. And right now in between DVRED shows I checked in with CNN.
There was a terrible deadly head to head car crash where an entire golf team from a college died. Before cutting for the break, the reporter said, that the truck that crossed the lanes and hit the golf teams van head on, was THIRTEEN YEARS OLD. I’m waiting to hear more but now we are going over Putin’s horrific war. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN’T JUST KILL PUTIN.
The thirteen year old boy was driving a truck uses a spare tire that exploded and cause him to veer into oncoming traffic.
My emotions are way too raw today for all of this news.
On a lighter note…….HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!!💚🍀🍀🍀
Just dropping in to see how your friend is doing. I pray much better.
Thanks, you are so sweet. I think we will be talking later tonight. So some recaps may be delayed.
