    Topic: RE: Could use a little TLC and support...
    I so agree with you about how the Main Board has been- I got flamed as a newbie and it got my back up.

    I've been working at getting it cleaned up over the last couple of weeks. The moderators are beginning to take firm action, long overdue. I hope it continues.

    Anyhow, you might find it a safer, kinder place to be now- come check it out!

    Please don't continue the personal digs at me here, Fran. Save them for the Main Board.

    This is a clean, drama free, supportive forum, which is why I am here.

    Got it. But I'm having an interesting time playing. I'm not in it for results, I'm in it for the practice.

    Certainly I'm driving them nuts. Good lesson I learned- keep the upset over there.

    May or may not help them. But maybe, just a tiny slim microscopic possibility, it might become a safer, more welcoming experience for them there.



    Maybe.

    I'm referring to the large number of people there.

    I am under no illusions of nor desire to change anyone, particularly the old vets.

    Just want to speak my piece and see what happens. I like strategy games, especially constructive ones.

    Just 'cause I care about the Main Board being a place where our newbies can come to and be responded to appropriately. May never get there, but I can do what I can do, especially with workable support.

    Thank you for your strategy suggestions, and they make a lot of good sense. I would offer though, that with a gang like the Main Board, that first you have to get their attention!

    With deep respect to you,

    Bless you for your sharing and support, Ladytazz. I have often heard you as one of the wiser, kinder voices wherever you post. My heart goes out to you in your struggle, and you are so courageous in how you deal with it.

    I love it here for my support, and the RNY and Main Boards for contributing what I can. I am a tough old bird, and I can take on a lot, especially with people who have my back.

    I look forward to getting to know you better!

    Hi, Chris, I can't hit "reply" to you because I am on my iPad.

    I just want to reassure everyone here that I will be on this forum only for support. That this forum is a supportive, drama-free place is why I love it. I don't look for agreement and I do care deeply about constructive, workable, caring support.

    I dump on fat and sugar together, as in ice cream, hitting me too suddenly. I've done it 3 times now- slow learner.

    Oh, I love your guts, woman!

    If you do do counseling, have him do the research and set up the appointment. I would suggest checking out a couple of different people in order to find someone who you feel comfortable with.

    Keep swinging!

    I have adult ADD, and occasionally take Adderall when I need to do heavy paperwork.

    My surgeon said there was no contraindication.

    I'm on my IPad right now, and have been almost exclusively for the past 3 weeks. It has driven me a bit nuts re: posting- it will only work when I hit quick reply, not regular reply or reply to individuals.

    Otherwise, I do love me my iPad. Right now I'm lying on my side pecking away...

    Topic: RE: Could use a little TLC and support...
    As I have said on the Main Board, I have been running a personal experiment on abuse and why people have such a hard time standing up to it, let alone maintaining a stand.

    Man o man, I have gotten some excellent information, but the experience has been pretty painful! I'm doing fine, but could use some hugs and kisses, or firm support if you think that is called for...
