Do you have to be a member of some exclusive club to get a response here?! I have posted a few times now and gotten absolutely no response. An online friend of mine who is the only one who knows about my A referred me to this board and said everyone was so supportive, nice and friendly...yet I've found that while you're friendly with most, new people aren't exactly welcomed. I guess I'm just disappointed since I thought this would be a great place to be able to air things about my A that I can't discuss with others.

Love

Hey love em....Sometimes postings gets pushed down the screen when we all get involved in one or two postings. It's nothing personal. We've all posted from time to time and gotten no responses. Believe me, everyone here is great...don't get discouraged yet. I'll go look up some of your threads.

Apart from what NRY said, there some weirdos that post for no particular reason except to cause trouble. That is why I stay away from posting unless I see some sense in their post. Proceed with caution here, there a lot of people with no other better job lurking and posting and they are not in an affair type situation. Funny, that these people should be the first to judge us, for if you ask me it their heads which must be examined first. Anyway, welcome and keep posting.

Come on Juliet...don't be so hard on yourself....you're not a weirdo. J/K....

Juliet is right. You'll learn who the board regulars are. I have learned who to take advice from and who not to. I know the people who know my story.

I had a posting on here a few days ago and got a lot of good advice...one posting was not the nicest in the world. I didn't recognize their handle, so I didn't let it bother me. That person didn't know my situation. Juliet, Omaha, Sweet, Gurl, NMR, Boston, Red, etc (I'm leaving tons of people out because I feel a bit brain dead today). You will learn who your friends are on the board. I like to give Juliet and a few others a hard time for fun....but I respect all their opinions and would never say anything hurtful to them if at all avoidable. We all love a good debate from time to time. That is how we learn and grow.

Welcome to the board!

I'm so sorry Love

I've been a little wrapped up in myself the past couple of days, relying on everyone else to give me a boost (which they do and will). I'm going to search for your posts now.

Talk to you soon

Me too...I lurked for about a week before finally posting. Now it's a regular thing. I feel like I know everybody here. I just wish we had live chat....that would be entertaining!

Hey Love,

I too have lurked and don't get to post very often. I can only use my computer at work because I am afraid H will try to check where I've been at home. Altho he is computer illiterate he would probably surprise me........he has on many other details. I will go back and review your posts also....

I apologize love. I promise I haven't been avoiding you. I don't know about the other members, but I usually have limited time on here and can't always answer every post. I do my best. And I must confess I do tend to respond more often to ones that strike a chord with me, if that makes sense. I can't remember what your situation is off the top of my head, but I'll try to get you a response to a post the next time I see one. Rest assured no one here intentionally ignored you and we'd all be happy to offer support and advice.
