Hi, don't post here very often at all but keep popping in to see what's going on  :icon_e_smile:

Can't see any mention of this so hope it hasn't already been posted.  Freddy Mercury and Michael Jackson song
"There must be more to life than this"

Wow - thank you all so much for your lovely, kind words.  I managed to stay fairly dry-eyed when I wrote my post but not after reading your so thoughtful and warm words.  Thank you  :bearhug:

One of my few posts but felt the need to add my little bit.

I have followed TS and Front with "interest" rather than belief and enjoyed most of what they have had to say.  I'm not religious so all posts that followed that route didn't really mean a great deal to me, nor did I read them fully but I do appreciate people have their beliefs and I fully respect that.  If I had to say I have a belief in anything I would say it is love and a lot of the times when people talk about God, Jesus etc. I substitute the name for the word love, and more times than not it fits perfectly - for me anyway  :icon_e_smile:

I truly don't know whether I believe Michael is dead or alive (sorry  :icon_e_sad: ) but I have been here pretty much from the beginning (on the old forum first) and something or someone led me here.  There were so many strange things about THAT day which made me doubt it had really happened the way described, or at all.  These days I do wonder if I am making things fit (hoax clues) simply because I would like to believe them.   Will we ever really know what happened, what the truth is and whether or not he really is with us?  I don't know but I will continue to watch because I find it fascinating and the way you guys put your brains to use simply blows me away - amazing   :smiley_abuv:

Personally, I am glad to see the back of 2012 - it was cr*p for me.  My darling mum, who I visited and stayed with for a week in April, suddenly became very ill and passed away on 6th June.  I moved away from the UK in 2008 so it was not as easy to be with her but I did go back and forth and spent alot of time with her before she passed.  I have a huge cloud over me though because I left her, on her own, in that horrible hospital bed, 4 days before she died.  She was insistent that I came "home" because "your husband needs you" and it was the start of our busiest time of the year.  I will never, ever, ever forget the look on her face as I walked away and turned back about 4 times to see her watching me leave and waving with a smile, despite how ill she was.  She was amazing to the end but how I wish I had stayed with her.  My husband keeps telling me that she wouldn't have wanted anyone watching her fade away but I wish I had gone with my gut instinct and not left her on her own.

The only consolation I have about that day is that my youngest daughter went to visit her and seeing how ill she was, told my mum "it's time you went to Granddad, he has been without you for a long time now.  Sleep tight Grandma, I love you loads".  Half an hour after she left, my mum died and I do wonder if she was just waiting for someone to tell her she could let go.  She was 86 so had had a good life but it doesn't make it any easier does it  :icon_e_sad:

My youngest daughter (same one) had a dreadful start to the year with things I won't go into here but has come through it and announced just after my mum died that her and her long-term partner were expecting a baby next year.  I was lucky enough to be back in the UK when she went for her first scan and went with her and guess what - TWINS  :icon_e_surprised: :icon_e_surprised: :icon_e_surprised:  I think my mum may well be looking down on us and has sent us all something very positive to focus on - she would hate us all being so unhappy.

I'm so sorry for this long, drawn out post - I was only going to say a few bits and pieces  :icon_redface:

Anyway, I think what I am trying to say is that although I miss MJ very much (and I'm the same age) I hope, wherever he is, he is happy and healthy.  Life can change in an instant and this past year has really taught me what matters in life - the people you love.  Cherish them whilst they/you are here.

Much love to all and a Very Happy New Year  :beerchug:

I've just sent you a message via the Contact Us button on the new website.  Please disregard because I have finally managed to re-register.   It's been a long day, it's bl**dy hot and I think my brain was slightly frazzled (and I've only just found this thread after wondering where the website had vanished to).  Has the yardarm passed whatever it has to yet - me thinks a glass of cold white wine is needed  8)

@Souza and bec...thanks SO much for your input!  Bec...where the heck can I find/buy ecigs????  I've never even heard of them but based on how you described it, I could see it helping me.  And I completely agree about the Big Pharma scams...the Zyban REALLY messed me up.

I apologize again for the off-topic....once I find out where I can buy the ecigs (good ones), I'll get back on track lol.

With L.O.V.E. always.

One of my few posts :)

I have tried just about everything to stop smoking and I have finally come to the conclusion that it is really just down to me and my really weak will.  BTC - I signed up for Zyban virtually the weak it came out in the UK and I know exactly where you are coming from - I could have trashed the house, for no other reason than I "felt like it" - it was horrible, even more so because I knew I was being totally irrational, yet felt totally rational.

Anyway, still trying/thinking about it - that about says it all doesn't it.  Good luck to you and I hope you quit soon, painlessly.  I bought one of those electronic ones but I don't know where I put it!!

Enough "off topic"

On 31st December Front posted this:

If you're not a religious person…it matters not!

If you think Front is Mickey Mouse…it matters not!
If you're a religious person, have faith in God.
If you're not, then have faith in Michael.
If your faith is crumbling and you choose to leave your KNOWING (not beLIEving--- but "KNOWING"--- because, as I've stated many times before, believing & knowing are 2 different things) behind to disintegrate into dust…might as well say goodbye now because you won't make to the "other side".


@Front, regarding the bit I put in bold - it really doesn't seem like that here any more. I could use some of your 'light' because I feel like I don't really have a place here anymore. It seems to matter very much if one is a religious person.  Thoughts such as I have on God/religion are not welcome here any more and I have no desire to offend those of other beliefs or tread where I'm not wanted. There seems little balance in discussions now since direction was abruptly changed on 21st January.  If I have to 'say goodbye', because I don't agree with the vocal majority, if I don't make it to 'the other side', whatever that may be, so be it, but it won't be because I've lost faith in Michael. He will do what he set out to do whether I'm included or not. I'll still be watching.


WOW. You have pretty much summed up how I am feeling Curls.  bearhug

Me three :)

I'm still here too.  I work a lot on my computer so tend to pop in and out quite a lot during each day.  Reading, but not posting as nothing I could add, and certainly not to the religious posts - just not my cup of tea I'm afraid.

Hi

I post very rarely on here, only because I can't really bring anything to the table.  Why?  Because I simply don't have the skills, or patience, to do the amount of investigating as many members on here do.   respect/  I just sit on the wall and read, and watch (I hope that is ok?).  I did become more involved when the trial was on but that was because it was "instant" feedback from one another - as I said, patience is not my strongest point.

Whatever I do say, please understand it is said simply from my perspective and in no way am I trying to upset anyone, criticise anyone, or any such thing - it unfortunately doesn't always comes across in the written form as it would if it were spoken.

I just don't know whether I believe in the hoax any longer.  I'm not religious so unfortunately many of the posts of late have not fired up renewed hope or optimism.  I don't have the inclination to follow all those types of conversations - I will read/skim over what is written but none of it rings true to me, or "rocks my boat" so to speak and I'm sorry.  I don't have that type or strength of faith, nor am I interested in gaining it.  One of my friends suggested, as I am not religious (and she is), to simply replace "God" with the word "love" and for the majority of the time, that works really well.  I do believe in love.  ::P

I do have a certain amount of (questioned) spiritual belief, if that is what you call it, i.e. I believe people we've loved could still be out there somewhere in the spirit world - but again, I just don't know.  Many years ago, a couple of years after my dear dad died, my microwave started bleeping for no apparent reason.  I said "if that's you dad, bleep 3 times" - and the bl**dy thing did.  That freaked me out but I am 50/50 on it - it was him, or it was sheer coincidence - I've no proof of either.  Had he jumped out on me from somewhere and said "yes it is me" then I would have believed it lol.  I did end up getting an electronic part replaced though, so perhaps did get my proof after all lol.

With all the events honouring/recognising Michael, I find it harder and harder to believe that he is still with us, or more importantly, that we will ever know he is.  In the beginning of all this we (or should I say you) were very busy investigating all the clues we thought we had, which pointed to a hoax but these days everything just seems to be about the world ending (I'm sure that's not really the case but it is how it appears to me) or religion.  I just can't see how he could come back given all that has been done in his name.  Also, what really did happen on 25th June 2009, who was there, who did what etc.  I somehow doubt we will ever get the true answers, but you never know.

If there is one thing certain in this life it is that we will all leave it at some point - no getting away from that one unfortunately.  I wonder how many people actually pass in a "perfect" situation, if there is such a thing.  We've all got to go one day, in one way or another and maybe, just maybe, it really did happen to Michael.  My dad died whilst talking to me on the phone (on the eve of my 30th birthday!).  My mum was round at a friend's house and I couldn't clear the line to ring an ambulance or her because he had rung me.  What I will say is that up until the point where it became obvious something was wrong, he appeared as happy and jolly as normal.  It was literally all over in seconds.  The shock to the rest of us was horrendous (and he was only 63) but if I could choose my own way of going, it would be like him - no prolonged illness, no watching him suffer (or him sufferring) etc. 

I wonder if Michael was just "worn out".  Given the number of years he had worked, the number of issues he had to deal with over the years, maybe this last adventure (O2) was just too much for his body to take, but given the professional he was, he would have just kept trying to push through the pain barriers, particularly as he was so eager to show his children who he was on stage.  I simply don't know and I certainly don't want to upset anyone with my thoughts, I just needed to clear my head a bit.

Sorry for the shaggy dog story.  I do consider myself very lucky to have grown up "with" (I wish) Michael Jackson and to have experienced all he gave to the world - he was/is certainly unique.

Why don't you just take a back seat and watch what goes on?  I decided "enough was enough" a couple of weeks ago, said I was going, end of etc. etc.  I even deleted my bookmark to try and help me keep away.  It just all got to me, suddenly and inexplicably and I thought I would be best just staying away.

When I got up the next morning I felt lost, for want of a better description, and realised what a mistake I had made.  I very rarely post on here because I simply can't offer anything constructive to what all the other amazing people post, BUT that doesn't mean I'm not reading and trying to understand everyone's opinion, what really happened, what the outcome might be.  I just don't know but I know I needed to be here.

You have been working so hard on here, giving lots of info and opinions on things - maybe you just need to give yourself a little breather and step back for a while.  Don't do like I did, and cut your nose off to spite your face - I think you will be sorry and miss the friends you have made here.

Just my two-penneth but I think you will be sorely missed

Thank you (again)

Soosie Woosie was nowhere near my first choice - I tried so many different combinations with "Sue" or "Suzie" in them but just couldn't get one accepted so ended up saying to myself, "ok, let's try Soosie (bl**dy) Woosie and it it took it  lolol/

lol Moon - what is Michael doing to us all?

Ford - I think it was the realisation that I wouldn't be able to chat to all the lovely people any longer, if I left, which made me want to stay even more.  We do have a bit of fun there don't we  ;)

Thank you again but time to get back to business me thinks   bearhug

You are all being so lovely and I feel rather embarrassed for the whole charade - I didn't flounce out of here, only to come back and be showered with lovely comments - honest - though very nice it is lol.

I know that things can be so easily misinterpreted when it's not a face to face conversation, and always try to keep that in mind when I see little skirmishes going on but, for whatever reason, last night's "minor" (and it was) disagreement that was going on, just got to me.  This last couple of weeks has been very intense, thoroughly boring at times admittedly, but still hard work.

Anyway, onwards and upwards.  I've been here virtually from the start (well, on the original forums, including Maura's) so I've coped with far worse along the way :)

Please mods, if you would like to lock this thread, please do.  I'm really not fishing for compliments - I find it rather embarrassing lol.

Thank you.
