sometimes if its from a friend its not necessary to respond every time
i dont feel rude its not like being in the store and someone says hi and you glare at them
good grief these are virtual and they are strangers
it depends what it says i spose
and sorry folks but if they are unattractive in looks or interest or whatever- i dont respond that goes for guys and girls, i feel i have a bit of intuition, even online... and its ok for me to make choices based on whatever-i will have the consequence of my choices maybe ill miss out or maybe i missed a bad thing.... ive not responded sometimes cuz i was traveling and then along w/ the first note gotten multiple notes saying what a jerk i am for not answering-from a stranger!!! hellllooooo i wasnt even here to "ignore you" ???
i have boundaries and i like to have acquaintances of my choosing and see what grows from there
im not obligated gosh that would seem an uncomfortable way to live <<<not a people pleaser
if this makes me wrong-oh well i figger i end up w/ the people in my life that belong there regardless
ive seen 3 cars-dif makes and models burn and melt and have nothing left
actually saw 2 burn and one after the fact
but most cars arent made of steel?
for me its about now and a little bit about tomorrow but the thing is- we'll nevr know all that happens even in the moment
thats ok with me
thats was a part of the original design of american government- protecting the general public- from health issues, by sharing info many ways
unfortunately this seems to be the best method because if everything was disclosed it would still get twisted, since passing info is like the kids game telephone-info morphs as its shared person to person...
i am from NYC it was sad it doesnt mean other things arent sad also and more sad things will happen however i dont necessarily think the methods being employed are all that specifically preventative
similarly i dont see much value except as entertainment to try to unravel and 'expose' things i dont have my head in the sand i just dont see what we would do about it if lies were exposed?
we can do more by doing other things now than studying and monday morning quarterbacking
we will never know lots of stuff and thats mostly ok by me
my focus is today how can i help today how are victims today how can i fund or shore up in any way what needs attention
thats how i feel about these tragedies and the governments responses
if i feel sure of mismanagement then i should get my butt out and vote that is my right and my obligation, as well as my service to my fellow man what am i serving by theorizing?
eri it was made clear suggestions are not welcome regarding hotels and no one is in charge of anything people coordinate these things and its nice but not that hard...
no one needs to get in the middle of anything im not even going and thats so i wont be caught in the middle of anything w/ certain people that are no longer members here and have openly threatened myself and a few others at CS
if you ask me you all are making it more dramatic im not going so no drama in fact i think ill have red over for a sleep over and i bet our pics will be more interesting
i didnt intend to be dramatic at all i only respond to what was emailed to me and then posted to me in this thread...i am allowed to respond
and i was clear in my intention to not attend-why is that drama?
i dont need to be here to create drama it happens plenty on its own i get tired of being accused of it
no biggie i was a dork and didnt capture the post i was responding to which was top page 11
as i said i am not trying to make anything negative BEB there is a bit of backstory here that some newer people arent aware of and some newer people are fully aware of
honestly i didnt mean to put a damper on any of it for anyone i came in to participate and made a suggestion as many others did
oh well
my safety is in question and apparently my good time so i have no problem not going and thinking about it now ill prolly still be recovering from my next surgery and not able to drive anyway
everything works out for the best and i truly dont feel that relationships i have here will be diminished because i dont attend but if so thats ok too
i work at keeping this stuff in proportion and now you missies made me post again when i said i was finished-
beb you know i think you are a dear i hope
i have to do some stuff in r/l now so dont think im signing out cuz im upset im generally honest to a fault ive no hidden meanings i just gotta split for now-
eri you know i care about you sooo much but your command of english is sometimes naive
it was rude and was copy pasted here-i was sent the exact same email-so thats not in the rules i think..?
ive never been anything but polite and friendly to this OP and it is common for people to stay different places at a meet
what if i stayed at dads house (as a friend) ? would we then be ostracised? ts just sophomoric and controlling, such an attitude, as i am experiencing it
its not rocket science doing a meet-tho a nice effort for sure
i wasnt trying to undermine anything or anyone nor were a dozen other people in the thread who offered suggestions- yet i was the only one that got such a lengthy and scolding response- a choice was made to portray me in a certain light im tired of that nonsense and if i misunderstood then so did a number of people who wrote me apologizing for my being treated rudely-
also as i have become aware of how many 'friends' of ppl that have physically threatened me will be at this gathering. because of that i became uninterested in attending- which is a bummer since its so close and some people i care about will be there
im not a fan of drama nor needing to enact any further legal action so the good choice for me is to stay away
understanding the sentiments posted to me only sealed it- id already decided not to attend so no biggie.
dont think i need to speak on the subject any further except to request that this OP not post emails on forums and not to expect an email response...
but you certainly had no grounds to dress me down or suggest i did anything inappropriate or catty
ive gotten more letters apologizing for your response than you might imagine
nice to know im not nuts or perceived by all as such a witch and good to remember that acting like that and then saying something like 'no offense' is pure hogwash
i didnt think staying in the same hotel was mandatory my mistake i suppose and i really wouldnt want to be where every minute is planned anyway i shoulda read more here i guess sometimes that happens tho...
