 LW> This is in reference to the "I am sick of SysOps" comment..I am a
 LW> SysOp  of a local, free BBS called 'Whispers of the Heart BBS'
 LW> and it is a friendship and support BBS...It takes more of my time to
 LW> keep up and going than my 40 hour a week job  this BBS for people who need to talk on modem or voice> and more of
 LW> the money I make goes to the BBS than to myself..All my energy and
 LW> compassion and love , not to mention money, is dedicated to the people
 LW> on this BBS..It is HARD going to work and struggling through an eight
 LW> hour day after spending hours answering 80 messages and attaching
 LW> files and making phone calls and trying to get an E-magazine compiled
 LW> and answering the phone, talking someone out of suicide and into
 LW> knowing I love them and care about them...It is also hard to read it
 LW> when someone says they are tired of the local SysOps around here when
 LW> they call on their computers, a gift in itself, using their phoneline
 LW> , another gift, their energy, another gift, their time, another
 LW> gift...I operate my body sometimes on no sleep and one meal simply
 LW> because someone needed me...Because they were lonely or lost their job
 LW> and I was trying to help find one or needed a scholarship or all was
 LW> lost...Sometimes it is a call from someone and no words are spoken by
 LW> him...just the sounds of someone crying and I whisprer words of
 LW> comfort and love...and cry too... In short..we do what we can...all we
 LW> can...Please dear friend..we share what we have..share what you
 LW> have...common consideration and patience....

Lynette! What a wonderful idea! Could you please give me any info. you
can on your BBS and how it works! I have known many people who could use
a kind and loving heart to tell their troubles to!
I am a Hug Therapist and have been that route myself before. Maybe I can
trade some of my ideas and stories with you! Let me know!
Thanks and Peace be with you,
Sharon
