Title: Im gonna get it for this one Im sure............ Post by Leesa on Aug 19th, 2004, 2:38pm Well folks stick a fork in me Im done. I have done some soul searching and found that I can NOT and WILL not belong to OUCH US any longer. I have asked DJ to pull all my info from the OUCH sight. Been with OUCH since 01 and seen FAR too much and 99.9% is not to my liking. I want more then what OUCH can or will ever give. I have no problem with "hurry up and wait" hell Im an X military brat and wife so Im used to that. But alot of it is BS and I dont feel it will ever change for the better. Cat, Roxy, Randy, DonnaH, Don and so many others have pulled out of the BoD and other possions that it makes my head spin! It sucks! And WHY? YES I did the petition to remove Renee. OUCH doesnt need someone with a "god complex" in office. I wasnt alone in my feeling on that one! I hate to say this but Im going to any way and I know Ill pay for it later by many. OUCH UK has done more in 4 yrs then OUCH US will EVER do. They have PAID staff members, a HARD COPY new letter that gets mail out EVER quater! I have a copy in my hand now! There is NO fighting, back stabbing, or any of that BS. Ive heard 'we are growing and having growing pains" hearing this from MANY BoD members over the yrs., well I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that is BS also. I saw the lay out of OUCH UK at the Alanta convention in 01 and the plans that Mo (Maureen) and John had brought over from the UK to get us going in the right direction. Anyone who was at that convention saw this too. WTF happened? Cuz we are NOT even on the same page as they are right now! Hell we are stuck in the stone ages and OUCH UK is in the 21st centery! I dont get it! I could add to this but I think Ive said nuff. Cuz the longer I type the madder I get. Ive got my blast sheilds up and ready for the firing squad so ready AIM and FIRE away. Leesa :P |

Post by thomas on Aug 19th, 2004, 2:48pm A person can only beat their head against a wall for so long, eventually you bleed to death, pass out or the wall comes down. When you've had enough, you've had enough. I understand completely. [smiley=hug.gif] |

Title: Re: Im gonna get it for this one Im sure.......... Post by Bob P on Aug 19th, 2004, 2:56pm As so many said in a thread about 4 weeks ago, OUCH US, OUCH UK, OUCH Italia, whats the difference. Help which ever one you want and you help clusterheads. For me, I've had membership in all 3, that way I can claim affiliation with whichever one is doing the best at the moment. |

Title: Re: Im gonna get it for this one Im sure.......... Post by pubgirl on Aug 19th, 2004, 3:02pm Leesa I'm not going to flame you either! I totally agree, but I would be seen as being biased. I'm incredibly proud to be associated with OUCH UK as I think we have made huge strides with dedicated Trustees and Officers and a comparatively small membership and resources. On the other hand I find reading OUCh US site Member's Board (or whatever it is called) totally embarassing and although I am a member, can't see what it achieves. Wendy |

Leesa I've enjoyed our emails though and I hope you will continue with that part. You have to do what's the right thing for you and in your own heart you know what that is. The best to you and yours. |

Title: Re: Im gonna get it for this one Im sure.......... Post by Jackie on Aug 19th, 2004, 6:30pm I hear some of what you're saying, Leesa. I've had some of the same thoughts from time to time. Then something good/positive happens and I say OK let's keep on pluggin'... :P Maybe we'll get it figured out one of these days. I'm just a hardheaded ole broad... :P Just one more thing.....you and Dave have been an asset. You all did a wonderful job on the convention... :) Love to you both, Jacks 8) |

No. The member list is a manual operation. I've always had to download the member list from the server, change it to an excel spreadsheet and then paste it into the web page. Removal of a name is also manual. Given the size of the membership roster it's getting pretty unruley and they probably ought to get rid of the list of member's names. Just keep the Officers and Medical Professional's. I'll suggest this at the OUCH board. |

Title: Re: Im gonna get it for this one Im sure.......... Post by john_d on Aug 19th, 2004, 7:23pm edit I misunderstood the post. I now think you may have just been saying to remove it from the web page, not delete the actual list of names. Other post removed. JD |

Title: Re: Im gonna get it for this one Im sure.......... Post by athos on Aug 19th, 2004, 7:53pm I think that your frustrations are the same as everyone here. the question is what are we going to do about it? 1. Do we let it die 2. Let it continue on the current path 3. Make the decisions needed to grow and move. I have a preception that "We" are too concerned on making a bad decision that there ends up being no decisions made. I hope that there are changes and decisions going to be made here soon. Am I too far off on this one? |

Ditto (except for the 'hardheaded ole broad' part) athos said: I have a preception that "We" are too concerned on making a bad decision that there ends up being no decisions made. I hope that there are changes and decisions going to be made here soon. Am I too far off on this one? Not in my book! There's still too much finger pointing going on. I've always felt that argument and blame are self-sacrificing. It gets you nowhere. When you have a problem, you have to look for a solution- not who caused the problem (unless that is the problem.) In other words, live in the solution and not the problem. [smiley=twocents.gif] .......................................alley |

Title: Re: Im gonna get it for this one Im sure.......... Post by Carl_D on Aug 19th, 2004, 8:39pm No flames here. You and Dave did a remarkable job at convention and as Alley said, you're both an asset of this organization. Take care of Dave for now Leesa, since the beast is battling him, he needs you more now anyway. [smiley=hug.gif] Peace, Carl D |

Title: Re: Im gonna get it for this one Im sure.......... Post by Charlie on Aug 20th, 2004, 3:42am See nothing to flame about and there is no doubt that Simon is more focused. I'm not qualified to say much about OUCH though. Charlie |

Title: Re: Im gonna get it for this one Im sure.......... Post by pubgirl on Aug 20th, 2004, 3:53am Sorry Charlie Always have to correct this one. Simon is our founding father and we owe him beyond measure, but he hasn't been on the Board of OUCH UK for several years now. His sheep visits on a regular basis though (and I hope I'm going to get to meet him next week!) Wendy |
