Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
I enjoyed that thread as it was a hodgepodge of just about everything.
Cooking bacon in the woods sounds like a good way to attract some bears 🐻
I'm sick now mom is sick and her new roommate screamed all night last night
Cooking bacon with bears sounds pretty good
"B is for Bear.
When bears are seen
Approaching in the distance
Make up your mind at once between
Retreat and armed resistance." - Hilaire Belloc
Or offer them a bacon sandwich?
Wouldn't it be more professional of the admins to tell us what's happened?
Or was it a figment of our imagination or our memory slipping :P
It was back, I saw your post CW. The next post was by Cap, and it was a trifecta of Cap-iness: a denigrating comment about black people, something about "feminist skanks," and "welfare grabbing foreigners"... in a single post. lol I think he was going for a personal record of how much he could offend in one comment...?
I happened to be on the site right when he posted, reported the post, and mods took the thread back down.
That's basically what happened.
I'm going to take this opportunity to say - I'm not some "my way or the highway" Pollyanna who gets offended at anything/everything. I wish that member had more sense than to make THAT kind of comment as his first comment back on Whine thread, but clearly he believes he's been given a pass to make those comments... why else would he keep doing it, knowing it violates the site's rules... especially after those comments keep getting deleted...? This has been going on for years, and I know that. I've been on this site since before Cap's mom passed. I don't know what's going on with him lately, and I do have sympathy for him, but I personally do not want to see that type of crap every other comment from him. I have bantered with him before about our personal differences - and it was not a problem until recently. He's now to the point that he's vicious with me and I... was vicious with him... but I won't be anymore because that's just petty. I'm sorry for all the disruption I've contributed to. I'm not a freakin Pollyanna or a {insert your favorite slur for liberals here}, I just don't want to read that stuff from him all the time.
Maybe MY mind is slipping and he was always that bad and I just... had too much to deal with with my dad before and didn't notice, I don't know. What's been happening lately is too much for me, especially the blatant sexism against women at times.
Blah.
:-)
I think they'll put Whine back. Hold tight. Hopefully Cap's first comment won't be similar to the Cap-fecta he posted 2 hours ago.
Happy Thursday!
Just stressed lately.... more than I realized... And then Cap says something Cappy and he's a good target for me to be p!ssed off at...
CM yes I have felt ignored on Dysfunction thread. There have been a few times where I posted a long, heartfelt post and received no acknowledgment at all. Not that I expect an "Oh, poor Gershun" cause I really don't but when you read all the other posts and everyone says something back and I don't even hear crickets..............well it kind of says something.
Ali, I believe you have the right to defend yourself and set limits (boundaries) which are not being respected. I also see the other person playing a cat and mouse game. Ignoring is the best way to deal with it, hard to do some times and some times we just have to go forth with both barrels.
In defense of the DYS thread, I want to say that some people get overlooked, it is not intentional. It happens to me also. One person who is very good at acknowledging everyone, does not post daily. If another poster is having a really hard time with something, everything is focused on that poster. This is normal. I have posted on the whine thread and have never been acknowledged. We do try to focus on new posters to the site who post on the Dsy thread too. A lot of attention is on welcoming new posters to the site. It is really hard to get to everyone and sometimes it may be a few days before a response is given. Hang in there everyone, I am sure the Whine thread will return in time. I am sad that Sendmetohelp is asking to have her account deleted. I hope she changes her mind and asks admin not to do it.
I have contacted AC staff-but if I am missing-just want you all to know this:
It could be either they went ahead and deleted me, OR
it is possible that I was raptured, and a few of you were left behind.
I am surprised today after looking at the calendar, how fast Thanksgiving is creeping up on us. One of my neighbors has her Christmas tree up already. For several years now, seeing trees in people's windows has made me feel so alone and sad, and this year could be worse as my Mom died last January. Maybe this year I have to stay indoors at night and not look at the holiday lights I used to love so much. Keep busy with other things, that will help.
