I think I am not going to be coming to CUTE for some time - all this is too upsetting - (pldc) Loralye has people that feel sorry for her (because of her brain surgery) and are willing to say anything to make her feel good - this is too much for me - so I think I will take a rest from the site for a bit.

Hey people, Shirlene want´s to rest a bit from the site, there is nothing wrong with these. she is not saying she goes forever. Let her go in peace.

That´s always the main problem in groups. All of us think we know it better and we tend to give opinions of understandable things. Everyone of us must know what´s better for himself. My grandmother said once to me:

The only one who knows what´s going on in his castle is the one who lives inside of it. Can you understand what she mean with these wise words? Shirlene must know what better is for her and we should not be angry when she says she need´s a break.
Love you Cuties

Now you are in the limelight (firing line) :)

I dont understand, you contribute so much, you were the only one to notice it was my birthday, you do so much, help is always there for us.Please consider just a little look in each day because, So many Cuties would miss you.
Especilaly ME. Hugs Pam.

Alot of us need you! Please take some time to scream and cry in the shower and then come back to all the people who enjoy you! Let's concentrate on embroidery. We'll just skip right past anything else.
You are much needed and appreciated by many!

Leave if you feel you should, but no need to tell everyone. This is a place that should be free of petty stuff. Just Brush off what you don't like and go on because you know what life is not fair. I read about half that is written, I mainly enjoy looking at projects. So we'll see you when you come back.

I think this is just a way to grab for attention and a little jealousy on your part. So go if you must.

SHIRLENE!!!! SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!

SLAP!! SLAPP!!

I expected better than this nonsense from you!!!
Don't be so bloody ridiculous!!!

I absolutely HATE seeing people begging for attention like this.
If you must have a break, do so! But don't make a song and dance about it expecting everyone to come running saying "AW pleease, don't go... sob, sob, boo hoo"

Give me a break PULEASE! Leave with dignity!

Everyone will miss you, we'll all now you're not here and who will suffer for it!

YOU

Because we'll still be here enjoying the friendship of some, laughing with (or at) others, picking up tips and pointers, collecting freebies and you won't.

KNOW do you see why I think your post is so stupid!!!???
Love ya kiddo, but expected better from someone our age.
Now go pack your bags if you must, I'll be right over to help you...
no wait a minute....
I have to leave too...
someone upset my friend....
I can't stay here
Yeah right! As if!!! LOL!!!
Hugs n roses, and unconditional love, ME

LMAO-omg Meganne-you just about made this grown woman choke on her coffee!!! you are soooo funny!! Well said my dear-basically what I was thinking but didn't voice it. As for typo's- "so what, who cares" as Joy Behar of the View would say ~linda~

Bravo, Meganne! My sentiments exactly!

by draco 21 Jun 2012

Agree with all of the above comments. Way to go Meganne * :o)

by dec716 21 Jun 2012

Meganne I would give you a million flowers for that if I could!

by blueeyedblonde 21 Jun 2012

Right on Meganne!

by juanitadenney 21 Jun 2012

Amen!! Thank you Meganne for saying what everyone was thinking. I also wish I could send you another million flowers too.

by meganne 22 Jun 2012

Please note I have not said this to my friend to be nasty or hurtful, I'm just so sick of all the drama and if I had written what you wrote Shirlene, I would hope some true friend would tell me to Snap out of it. Life is too short for all this nonsense, regardless of who it is. Friend or foe. But then only a real friend will tell you what they really think.

by meganne 22 Jun 2012

regardless of who it is, Friend or foe. But then, only a REAL friend will tell you what they really think and if they don't then you need to change friends.
Unconditional love, me

I'm sorry to hear that you are upset and want to leave for some time, Shirlene. Could you please reconsider? This site will not be the same without you, and I will miss you.

Maybe we could petition Ms Veronica to rename the Public tab to read Embroidery & Sewing or, if possible, to add another tab. I understand that it's a database and may not be possible for the time being. Maybe it would be enough to add a text line between 'Answers.Cute Embroidery.com' and 'Question' at the top, clarifying what we are allowed to upload under the 'Public' tab.

Hugs, Lidia

I should have written ...add a text line between 'Answers.Cute Embroidery.com' and the tabs in the Community page.

I had no idea she had brain surgery!!!!! Maybe I need brain surgery also it might give me the brain power to do some of the things she is doing bye

Shirlene I just go on if there is something I don't want to read . I like loralye but I did not know she had brain surgery .I will miss you wish you would just let it go and stay
love you Lenamae

I don't post a lot but I do appreciate your response to my questions when I do. I didn't join cute to be discouraged but thought it was a site that was informative and that people cared. I too thought you were the owner as you are always positive and enthusiastic. I personally will miss you. Becky

oh my-do you really feel that way??? I honestly don't think people are really "feeling sorry" for Loralye-I hope you aren't forgetting when everyone felt bad for your hard times with you and Rick-and everyone seemed quite supportive of you guys.
There are a number of people that come in here with hardship stories and THIS upsets yoU?

oops-sorry for the capped "u"-
You are leaving or just not going to comment anymore? Why on earth would this all be so upsetting???? Oh well-life goes on-time to go check out some more projects and do some sewing-

by anangel 20 Jun 2012

Linda, I have to agree with your assessment; no one is "feeling sorry" for Loralye, but empathizing with hers or anyone's difficulties in life. I remember a time back that most posts pertained to Shirlene's and Rick's problems, and I empathized, rather than scowl about the numerous posts. Perhaps, I am just fortunate, but I am able to browse down postings rather quickly, getting a gist of what is being asked or said, and my mouse does NOT have to click on any, except those I care to read. Tolerance and kindness holds a family together, so the Cuties need more of that, and less of the "Posting Patrol"! Whatever happened to the 1st Amendment, and "Live and Let Live"?!! Amen!

by anangel 20 Jun 2012

rather than scowl at so many posts. I guess I am fortunate that as I browse, I can quickly scrowl down and choose the posts that are of interest, and my mouse does not have to click on any that I do not care to. Tolerance and kindness holds a family together, so we Cuties need more of that, and less of the "Posting Patrol"! Goodness, whatever happened to the 1st Amendment, and "Live and let live"?!

by anangel 20 Jun 2012

together, so we Cuties need more of that, and less of the "Posting Patrol"! Goodness sakes, whatever happened to the 1st Amendment, and "Live and let live"?! Let's get back to being a happy family!!

I wish you wouldn't go and I will miss you. I often just read the first few words to see what the post is about. If it bothers me or I am not interested then I just scroll onto the next one.

I will miss you when you are gone if you go!

Shirlene, I for one will miss you IF you decide to leave for awhile...I understand why, when I first joined, it was so much fun to speak with all the cuties and find out about their work and some about their lives...it has gotten out of hand and I feel sad that things have changed so much..I hope you decide to stay and like someone mentioned before, scroll down all the "junk" mail and continue with your friendliness and helpfulness...with much appreciation for all you have done, your cutie friend, Lulu

We must remember that we are ALL entitles to an opinion ( but NOT Flaming remarks, no matter who you are or how you are feeling) but as the site has no real fast and hard rules things are at times a wee bit unruly. This is an open forum and all the world can see what you have written and posted
I prefer to see all crafty posts in the public tab and may all other topics in the personal one. there are a lot of posts to go through each day. Like Shirlene, I have really had enough of the nasty things written and name calling. I prefer now to post my digitised designs to a few via emails.hugs Helen

Ok, I scrolled down, found all the fighting again. What a shame. And a shame I bothered coming back. Now I understand, Shirlene, and agree. What should be an embroidery forum has become a "reality show"--guess we got "kicked off the island", huh? What drama feeds poor egos, pitiful.

Amen to that.

I appreciate all that you do and have done for the site. I am so shocked to hear you will be leaving for any reason. I do understand why you might be upset. So sorry.

Shirlene.....I have always looked up to you as an embroidery "icon" and hope your hiatus is short. With that said I do need to make it clear that what I stated about Loralye's positive contributions to this site was neither to make her feel better nor a pity statement, it is merely how I feel. Let's just let this go.......hugs to everyone...Vicki

I agree...none of my comments were made to make her feel better because of brain surgery...what an unfair supposition on your part! I enjoy her posts!

Please think about this,This site is not about one person but everyone who contributes and you are a serious contributor and I am sure you will be missed by more than me,so give it a little time please.

Shirlene, it seems like many people have left after the recent controversy about a design. When I post an answer when trying to help someone I am finding it difficult to find the post again since the links are not available for our questions and answers.

You have my email address so please keep in touch. I so appreciated your help in sending out the angel for me recently.

Just a reminder, you have a standing invitation to add your site link to my 'Embroidery Websites' listing. Your site would be a wonderful addition to the listing. It is such a nice service you offer.

Your embroidery friend,
Marcelle Lewis

Shirlene, don't leave - you will be missed. There are many times I don't agree with what I read and I have decided to just "scroll on by". Ignore what you don't care for. Please don't leave! Hugs to you, Laura*

It is your choice to stay away from cuties, if that is your wish. We will miss you, as your valuable input also means a lot to us. I do, however, enjoy Loralye's input and that has nothing to do with feeling sorry for her. We all have our unique problems. Sometimes we just need a little more reassurance from our friends, at a bad phase that we are going through. Please don't stay away too long. You will be missed, so please change your mind????****

Shirlene, I did not followed the whole thing what's going on at the moment , but I'm sending you ..

You have been the glue that keep this site together for most of us all these years. We will miss you if you go. Please stay. For the longest time I thought you were the owner, isn't that funny?

I have stayed away because of some of the daily posting and find it hard to find the embroidery Q & A's, too. I know what you mean.

Shirlene, I seem to have missed something, because I'm not here a lot. If something is upsetting you that badly, maybe not reading all the things for a while may be a good thing. But please don't go away forever, we all really care about you. Sometimes it's too easy for people to forget that you and Rick are still going through a lot, every day, and that life isn't a bed of roses for you either. I try never to forget that, and you're always in my prayers. But sometimes things just get us down, and we need to get away from those things we can for a while. I wish you better days, and peace, and a swift return here, lovely friend. Love, Marji

What a beautiful message :-)

I appreciate all you do for this site. However, I don't feel sorry for her. I love what she brings to this site! Each of us contributes something unique. I understand your need to rest...but please understand many of us love the questions and enthusiasm. I am sure you know this site's owner well enough to request changes. You should ask her if she wants to change the tabs or post official site rules. I just think the bickering and mud slinging and finger pointing (when so many are just as guilty themselves) is SAD!
I am here to be uplifted not to see who wins full control over what or where others post.
Embrace change -- it is the only thing that stays the same.
Enjoy your rest. Hope to see you back soon. Hugs

Take some time off then. It sounds like you may be under a bit of stress but that is no reason to upset Loralye. I don't feel sorry for her but support her in her efforts and all she has done.
Bev

I feel the same way, no reason to upset Loralye. Take some time off and rest if that is what you need. Juanita
