Withdrawals :(

I think the board change is causing withdrawals for many of us. We miss the old format and it's making us cranky and irritable. I know for a fact I've had a headache ever since I signed on early this morning, and left work early because I felt out of sorts. Of course it could be a number of things that are making me feel crappy, but EAS is not helping. :(

So, just wanted to let you all know that you are not alone in your frustrations. (Except for you E1). Your posts have actually made me chuckle although I am muffling the giggles. I just want to sulk for a little bit...you know, sit with my feelings and work through them. ;)

How appropriate to feel like this considering how I have to talk about withdrawals and addictions all of the time. It sucks to have to actually experience it. :robottongue:

So lets give it a little time. Change is always hard and I will be the first to admit that I struggle with new and supposedly improved stuff.

Thanks Iddy. I'm kinda feeling that way too - cranky and frustrated. I feel sadenned that EAS use to feel like such a place of refuge and comfort, but today well, it just feels like work. I don't feel entitled to complain, because I am so grateful we have this place, and yet I am disappointed that it seems so crowded with advertising and needless extras. So for today, I am going to sit with those uncomfortable feelings too - and know that in time, we'll build back up into the vibrant community we have all come to appreciate.

TU.

I just saw they moved the survey - it's on the right side now and says "notice something different" in pink letters.

Hey, Iggy. I woke up thinking about you. Glad you posted in. Camel Butt? LMBO! Thanks for my first chuckle of the day.

Now that it has sunk in a little more re. the change, (heck, I've already been through "THE CHANGE" so this should be a piece of cake), I am feeling better this morning. Guess you would call this "acceptance." :smileyvery-happy:

Anyway, I am so very happy you chimed in. I was thinking about you over this 5 day hiatus and hope you are going to be around here for a while to come. You'll be a great addition to this community.

How are you doing?

(((Hugs)))

Iggy,

<>

So, did you tell him this is 5 words or less? :smileytongue: I hope it was a very short conversation as you didn't mention THAT part in your post. :smileywink:

Personal trainer? How cool. You'll be sore all over but at least your fingers will still function painlessly...so be sure to pop in whenever you can.

Happy to hear that your H is responding to the attention that he's "entitled" to.

Fade in an annoying blaring beep sound (((BEEP))), (((BEEP))), (((BEEP))) Attention all posters, we have a CL down in the Love/Relationship Problems/Endings isle! Please do not panic but is there a cyber doctor in the house that can perform CPR (Cyber Prompting & Restoring) on Iddy’s computer.

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.
