Hi pack, how are you doing,friend??
I HAVEN'T BEEN IN HERE FOR OVER A DAY OR SO---BECAUSE I HAD A DOCTOR APPT. i HAVE NOT BEEN FEELING VERY GOOD. hAVE TO HAVE SOME TESTS DONE.i HOPE NOTHING TOO SERIOUS.
i AGREE WITH YOU THAT LOSING PEOPLE THROUGH DEATH OR SUCH IS A TERRIBLE WAY TO LOSE THEM, BUT LOSING SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE OF BAD WORDS IS REALLY SAD.
I truly don't think some people really think they have said anything hurtful to others.
But I can honestly say that other than a couple of people that I know ----have said hurtful things--including myself.
I APOLOGIZED FOR THAT--BUT MY APOLOGY WENT UNNOTICED,WHILE THE OTHER PERSONS CAME OUT SMELLING LIKE A ROSE.
i JUST WISH EVERYONE WOULD BE AS KIND TO THE PEOPLE ON HERE--AFTER READING THE THREAD WHERE FOLKS TOLD A LOT OF WONDERFUL THINGS THEY DID FOR OTHERS. WHY CANT WE DO THE SAME W/PEOPLE ON HERE. WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAVE SIDES AS IN HIGH SCHOOL:
tHAT IS HOW I FEEL---AND I'M STICKING TO IT----HUGS TO ALL----PAT.

I have no idea. I just found out yesterday evening that you could do such a thing on a thread here. I did see the note under pictures, but never bothered to find out about it.I tend to just flow with life, and usually know about 1/2 of what goes on. Sorry I couldn't help you, would have liked to.

But why doesn't everyone post the five most important things, in honesty, they want in a firendship on here. The list maybe a reality check for everyone. This, if choosen to be done, should be in the positive, no a single negative.
This is what pack is asking- why is everyone so confused? It's right at the end of her post!
1-Laughter
2-Sharing experiences
3-Learning
4-giggles
5-making friends

from Packmother's original post:
"But why doesn't everyone post the five most important things, in honesty, they want in a firendship on here."
My answers, in no particular priority:
1. Ability to speak my thoughts openly and with respect [to and from]
2. Humor and lots of laughter
3. Honesty
4. Ability to "listen" to various opinions in an effort to keep my mind open to new ideas
5. humm....not sure what this would be yet....looks like I have the top 4 most important things I want in a friendship here.

Hi "Bona" and "Packmother",
It was very clear to me and I'm thinking about my five qualities ..........I always have to think about important things, I am always saying to my friends, "i will think about it" and get back to ya.
"Bona" whatever your tests are for, do hope all tests turn out ok.

Thanks Freak........sorry, I just don't feel well today. For those that wonder why I am acting so ditsy.....we have a carbon monoxide leak in the house due to a contractor I had hired to do a job on venting that is being corrected. There were holes in roof due to hale that flooded the attic causing terrible mold and also causing the tape holding ductwork together to come undone......which in turn has allowed all the mold spore to circulate throughout the house. Lawyers have suggested we sue the insurance company and the contractor. I'm fine outside the home.....however, once here, my mind just can't remember or comprehend at times. Sometimes, it's sharp as a bell. I apologize for being such a dunce right now. Hopefully, it will be partially repaired tomorrow.
Reasons.
1. Trustworthiness
2. Honesty
3. Similar interests
4. Each others best interest at heart
5. Being easy to be yourself around them without recrimination

Lotsa,
I hope whatever comes from the test is all good. Will say prayers.
I had hoped if maybe we could list the five things we were looking for on here,it would lead in some very small way to a better understanding. Maybe we would each see ourselves in what someone else wanted.

My five:
1.Openness when people choose to be open. Knowing that what is shared here stays here (I know it sounds like an ad)
2.Faith to believe when I ask for someone's ideas and input, I am getting what they see as the best they can give and the best for me.
3. Respect for my differences, and the respect to be able to align myself with someone for a reason, without loosing the respect of others. Also the ability to extend respect to others no matter their ideas.
4. Acceptence for my ideas. Not that someone will agree with me, but to know that they will say that it is not for them, but it is for her, and not make it less than the importance it is to me.
5. Fun and enjoyment. At this point in my life I doubt greatly there will be another person that I will share my life with, for many many reasons (and it is fine, I am ok with it) but I do enjoy people, fun, jokes, picking on someone (in fun) and be picked on (in fun). I would like to make new friends, a new one everday would be grand. and If I overstep into what I see as funny, and another does not, I would like to be told, in a manner that is friendly and caring.
well there they are.

Packmom ...This is to refresh your memory and make my opinion clearer to you. I apologize in advance to colleen, I would not involve her name if it wasn't relevant to my point here.
My first post here,in your thread, on page one, was referring to the following. I have copied & pasted these from page one.
Colleen posted:
Was reading a thread this morning (won't mention which) when I noticed that one of our "trolls" posted a comment. Was delighted to see that all others just "froze" him out and continued posting. He went away. Am happy to see that everyone is FINALLY realizing that this is the ONLY way to stop all this fighting. I, for one, REFUSE to get involved in all this. That's not what I come here for.
Packmom replied:
PLEASE, this is where I lack the understanding of the actions on this site. I am not trying to be argumentive or critize, but understand. Please be kind enough to explain to me WHY did you make the comments on here that you just Have?
There was not one single name called to anyone or about anyone till you made your statement. Did you EVEN read the original post? Why would it be necessary to continue the nonsense that has become the standard on so many post here. It was not asked for.
I am really trying to understand the reasoning. It comes acrossed very much that what is going on here is actually what is wanted. If that is the case, would someone PLEASE just say so. This is too ridiculous.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You made a choice to respond to colleen's opinion. As she has stated, all is well now, but that is not the point I was trying to make. There were three points, actually.
1. You are not new here. We knew you once as "herself".
"As someone new, I have a different view of what has gone on here." ... your deception
2. You were fueling the "nonsense" by your remarks to colleen.
"Did you EVEN read the original post? Why would it be necessary to continue the
nonsense that has become the standard on so many post here."... your quote.
3. I agreed with colleen's list and was sure MOST everyone else here did.
I responded to your request for a list of the important things we would want in a
friendship here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe you started this thread with good intentions, I was trying to point out the hypocrisy shown by your post to colleen. I only hope it becomes clear to you by this explanation.
Regretfully, I think by stating my observations here I have fueled another feud and I apologise to all who are trolling this.

Here we go again.
I have no idea what you are talking about. I am not or have I ever been called herself. This is the same nonsense that took up a whole day several days ago. I really don't know whether to be angry at you who keep this nonsense going or to feel sorry for you. How can anyone be so totally ingrossed in such nonsense to me is totally out of the releam of my reality. I will just just simply chaulk it up to silliness and let you keep your dreams, and that is what they are. If you want to think I am this other person do so. Whatever makes you world the beautiful place you hope it is, I am sure you enjoy being there.
Now I will address what you are doing to Colleen, who asked that she be left out of it, both in an email and on here. There is no problem between she and I, do not try to create one. I am sure she would have told me if there was, as I would have told her. That is how the real world works.
I am truly sorry for you
, I hope you continue down the path you have choosen and have nothing but a wonderful life. But, do me a favor. Leave me alone. I have done nothing to you, why do you have to attack me with your foolishness.
Thank you
and really I don't need an answer, only you need to know that.
Thank you.
