I do not know Lori, but after reading her story I wish her all the luck in the world...She is a true winner! But you area 51 are a true piece of shit and should do the human race a favor and just die....So we can piss on your grave!

Lori, hang in there!

Sincerely,
Your Ducth Oven

Lori,

Glad to see you post and from one single mother to another.... sometimes it is so easy to get so caught up in the stresses of the day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute that we lose sight of the long term which boils down for me at least to family and friends. I have been reminded numerous times over the years that my boys pretty much always know when something unnerving is going on in my life and luckily for me, even when they were young (the age of your daughter) they knew they could ask questions and get a valid explanation. It also served to ground me in the fact that I was first here for myself and in turn for them and if things were getting to me they were obviously going to effect them.

(pun intended) you'll come out like a cat ..on your feet... and the tigress I have seen in action in definitely there laying in wait to pounce on the opportunities. You'll be stronger, more knowledgeable, and utterly surprised at the fact that you can handle all of it. In the scope of things.. it's one year... it was a very sucky year... but one that you will take things from for the rest of your life.

Lori, you're an exceptional businesswoman, however, the dedicated mother that we've seen you be is what has always shined through first and foremost. Sometimes, life throws us curveballs with such force that we can neither predict nor prepare for what is to come.

I know you will resurge with acquired knowledge, strength and a determination to change life as it is now, for yourself and your daughter.

My positive thoughts are with you both & may the Holidays be bright for both of you!

As many have mentioned here already Lori, hang in there, as things WILL get better for you.

Wishing you a wonderful 2010.

You are a stand up women and should not have to apologies... Lori hit me up if you need anything.

You didn't read any of what she wrote because you're a fucking tard with 1800+ posts since August 09, not because nobody gives a fuck. :2 cents:

Chris-you and Theresa have been amazing through all this. Thank you both for holding the fort down as much as you could through this. And I'm very appreciative to Julie for fielding and helping. I'm blessed to have you guys!

wow, so many posts - to reply to each is an overwhelming thought so I just like to extend my gratitude to each of you for taking the time to write and for your support. (well area51 was one that stung but maybe they learned this community and industry is about more than they realized.)

most appreciative, Lori

Hang in there Lori and hope 2010 brings sunnier skies! :pimp

Forget about that jerkoff. I looked at his previous posts and they all seem to be irrelevant. Just some forum troll who doesn't know shit. Hope to see you at internext in Jan.

All the best Lori... In time.. you will realize that you are a Superwoman and nothing will be able to stop you. Some people never get challeges liek that thrown at them .... the fact that you are on here says marvel things about your strength.. I remeber when Dwayne Somers first introduced us.. I was impressed and still am..

All the best from me and the folks here at GTBilll... Dom

Lori: Wow, this comes as a complete shock to me; you are the most 'together' person I have ever met in this industry; that speaks volumes about what you are going through.

I sincerely hope you do not leave this industry; you've touched many with your deal-making abilities, and a true desire to make to affect a win-win situation.

I've just sent you an epass for a pending deal that will close next week, plus a a bit extra for some Christmas cheer.

Good luck to you Lori and keep your head up girl!

Speak for yourself asshole, you are a pathetic human being.


Lori,

Hit me up anytime if you need anything or feel like talking. Take care of yourself and all the best :)

I have to agree with T here. Although I am glad you have put some of those rumors to rest, the task ahead of you now is to focus on you and your girl. Lori, my heart goes out to you. The strength of those shoulders have definitely been tested and if I know you even a little bit, I know that you will somehow find a way to turn all of this heartache into something so positive that you may even surprise yourself.

You are in my prayers. As my mom always says, until things get better, tie another knot in the end of your rope and hang on.

Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.

Lori - Survive and heal we will see you soon.

Hey Lori -

What a terrible year it has been for so many people... I know it's just a ceremonial change, but I hope the coming of 2010 will mean better things for you and your daughter. I am also a single parent of a 9 year old, and I totally get that responsibility; my only advice is to use it, use it to find the strength you need to get to wherever you need to be in life. My best wishes go with you.

Lori,

2010 will be a banner year for TAB and you personally. It takes great courage to admit tough times, and more to deal with them. Clearly you are handling both with your usual fire and determination.

I look forward to doing business with you next year and know that you are reliable and hardworking as anyone in this industry when motivated by adversity.

Keep your chin up and have some deserved rest over the holidays.

Hit me up if you need anything.

Read it yesterday but really what is there to say that couldnt be said by those who really know you better?

But I want to chime in now with well wishes for you. Hope things work our better and it snowballs for you towards the good! I can only hope for 1/4 the support when I need to come through crisis. You must be doing something right! :)

100 Dutch ovens!!

Lori,

I wish you and your daughter all the best! Please feel free to reach out if there is anything I can do. We all need a helping hand from time to time.

With much respect!

Ken

We all have tough times, and we become stronger as we conquer each hurtle..

so well put!:thumbsup it's been a horrible year for most and it only makes us all that much stronger.

Chin up L Z!!! xoxoxox

Wishing you all the best Lori.

The least I can do is to check the TAB offering after the New Year's Eve and check my contact list if I can refer someone to you.

As someone, who went through the past three years through a couple things that probably are enough to send an average person to a mental asylum - I am sure I can guarantee that 2010 will be a turning point and a much better year.

Beyach

sent you sms....

Lori

You know where I'm at. I want to say this. Stuff is just stuff. It's about the getting - not the having. No one can take your experiences away from you. My life goal is not to have the most or best stuff but to have the best stories....You can be happy in a small apartment or a big house. Faith's development doesn't rest in what you have, it rests in the time you invest into her. That time won't make any difference if it's from a public school or private one. There are incredible fun development activities you can focus on with her for little or no money. Continue with that. In the end it'll probably be better for her as well to see how you can do the same things without spending huge money. And later in life I guarantee she'll appreciate it more too if you spend more time than money on her.

Focus on Faith. She's the brightest light in your life.

You're the socially brightest women I know. You're a great mom and a good person.

We've all been ashamed of things - delayed communications and often it's because we think we can fix it can come back looking strong... it happens....I've been there. Reminds me of something you said to me about relationships and cheating once... LOL never forgot that - thank you. honestly those were wise words.....

Even though we havnt' talked much in the last little while I still and probably always will truly consider you one of my very best friends.

I really hope to see you in Vegas.

I'm putting aside a few of the remaining dollars I have to take you out to breakfast, lunch or dinner sometime and catch up. I miss you.

Love

Scott

Lori,

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly. You and your daughter will be ok, you are a fighter and I am confident that after all this, you will land on your feet and hit the ground running.

This year has indeed been a tough one in the B2B sector, I can definitely empathize with you there. Although we have always been on the opposite side of the stick, I hope you don't hesitate to contact me while I"m out here til the 5th. I have my daughters out here, the little one would love to make another friend (and the 18 year old can watch them if you just want to take a break and get some YOU time - we can also just grab some coffee and a mani/pedi, I know that always makes me feel better).

So don't plan on being alone, we're a call away (spending time between the valley and the OC so you're right in between) and I know that 2010 will be a new beginning for you. Wishing you health, wealth, and happiness gal, hang in there and don't htate to call.

xo~Jenni

Heres wishing you all the best for you and your daughter and truly hope 2010 will bring you only all the good things in life

Done as promised.
Enjoy a Christmas dinner with your daughter, get her a nice gift.
Stay strong and keep your finances under your own control daily in 2010. Not thru an assistent.

lori,

i sent you a note in email.

Fight the 2009!

Hey Lori...

I heard that Santa had to outsource some of the deliveries this year so tell Faith to watch for the Fedex man tomorrow morning. ;)

--T

you are awesome

That is horrible, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss and devastation. You do whatever you need to so you can get through these tough times. Hang in there and think positive, things will get better.

Hugs,
Mark

Have heard of NationalNet but don't really know SweetT. Having said that, based off this reply alone, if i were ever looking to host in the US, I'd contact you. Humility, kindness and empathy are very lacking in the world we currently live in but you've proven that it's not altogether gone!

Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous New Year to you and to Lori.

Lori,

We have done business now together for a few years.. I have always had respect for you... and have even more respect for you now with this personal message to the industry.

I wish you all the best in the future, and if there is anything at all i can do.. dont hesitate to call on me.

Here's to ending this year.. and to new beginnings next year.

:)))

I don't know you at all Lori but I'll tell you that I have nothing but the highest of hopes for you and your daughter. I've fought back from adversity many times and each time you feel weaker and less prepared but the moment of strength is coming, keep chasing it. It took alot of bravery to come here and open yourself up to the often very critical people at GFY, take that same bravery and go forth fiercely to get your life back on track. We're behind you 100%! :)

Best wishes to you Lori for Xmas and also a great new year! you are a very special person and much loved.


Warren.

The very best to you and yours this holiday season, Lori. Material things come and go, and life seems to have an uncanny way of kicking us in the head when we least expect it. But, if anyone can come out of this, it's you. Head up, shoulders back, and don't forget to breath. Sending all my positive thoughts your way.

this posts give me a headache.
