Just being me on a vent

me vent?! I'm so thankful we have a messageboard (Ia) that we can describe our feelings & don't get flamed for it. I read messages on the Main Board, ppl get flamed instead of encouragement, they are dropping off the Board due to nasty emails or replies or they are getting posts pulled. Instead of support many are getting negatives which shouldn't be. maybe that's why I don't post on the Main Board very often! Some ppl are born negative & it sure carries thru on their messages. Enough said!!! Everyone have a good weekend, will be busy here as tomorrow is marching contest in Carroll, be an all day adventure! I'm proud of our Middle School marching band, we have taken 1st place the past 4 years, just had to brag on that one a little Carolyn

Hello Carolyn ,I know what your talking about I read some of them and thats why I dont go on there eathier I love this one so many on here are very supportive, but I do agree. I hope you have a great weekend just relaxing here. take care Laurie

Have fun, Carolyn! My kids were both in the marching band too, and we went to lots of competitions. My son, though reminds me he was in the Drum Line, not the bad,,,,excuuuuusssee me!!

Your right Carolyn, it amazes me how people can be so vicious about things. We all pretty much are in the same boat as far has having the disease of obesity and having surgery. It's that aftercare where things start to fall apart, like little leaks in the boat before you know people are spending so much time blaming others that pretty soon the boat SINKS. WEll enough. I stick to this site. My son is just starting in band this year so I am excited I hope he gets into teh marching band etc. Take care have a great week!

Carolyn I would stick to this board too if ever anyone could be on days....but I have no pc at home right now and no one is ever on during day on this board. I cant get on here at night....so I go read other board during days. Jody W.

Carolyn, We do have a pretty friendly family here on the Iowa boards, don't we?? I read on the main boards sometimes and only post on occassion. I am so afraid I might say something to make someone mad. Don't want to do that! Like others, I come here for support and am thankful that everyone is so kind. Blessings to you and that wonderful marching band! God bless, Andrea
