Wow! I see how I rate here

55 views on my post but no responses.  I guess I can tell what you all think about me.

Mamma always said if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it..sorry

I really don't mean any disrespect....but maybe you should read Rebecca's post and see if you really want to complain about these issues. I am not trying to take away the hurt you feel, but it is very hard to know what to say to posts like these where someone demands a response.  Best of luck with your retirement, and I am sure you are so grateful to have a job to retire from, a loving husband, your health, and a new home in a beautiful area that this little glitch won't get you down.   Continued blessings to you, Brenda

Brenda, yes I was hurt.  It would have been nice to see some posts that at least commisserated with me.  This isn't the first time this has happened on the MI board.  It seems that most times I'm persona non grata here and have been for some time.  I always try to support others here and to post when I can.  You have one of the ones that has posted a response.  I was very excited to retire and buy a new house and move but it fell on mostly deaf ears.  This hurt I experienced today took me back to my "fat" days when I was almost totally ignored no matter what I did or how good I did or what I accomplished.  I guess that doesn't change even though I've worked hard to show what I can and always could do. 

Also- remember a few months back when I posted something about me and the concert pics? Noone responded and I got offended that I got no replies or support? Well, I was reamed a new one by people on here so I don't post things much anymore for support here.  I get support from people on here but I don't post much because of the incident where I  took it personal.  So take it as a lesson I suppose.  Some people just dont care and some are too busy to post...so don't take no responses or non responses personal-it just isn't worth it. Take care Shannon

Ann, All I can say is it's a full moon.  I'm dealing with more issues at the school I'm teaching at than I've seen in a long time.  The stars are allining just right and all things seem out of whack/porportion.  Congrats on all the life changes you have made, both in the surgery and your retirment plans.  Sorry more people didn't say way to go or congrats, but personally I didn't think me saying that would make a difference since I don't know you from a hole in the wall. Now here comes the teacher in me, so what if the parties are combined.  If you really feel this way are you willing to talk to your boss or whoever is in charge of scheduling these things?  Let them know that you still harbor ill feelings due to your 50th birhday not really being recognized  and you were hoping the same would not happen on your retirment.  You've given fully of yourself in the job you've done and enjoyed working with and for the people in the office.  Why is it that people get upset that no one replies after only 7 hours, especially when the original post really paints you in a non-flatering way.  I'm sure you're a nice person and have helped people on this board and your just frustrated but....... I know, it's your party and you'll cry if you want to, but does that mean everyone else has to cry with you? Good luck, --Sax

Quit yer ******g and moaning. I've been doing this dance for 28 years. I got a hemorrhoid older than you. Friggin sax players,,,, kp

two things... 1. stop looking at view counts, it's MEANINGLESS.  it could be one person refreshing the page or a search engine spider or many people who don't normally respond to anyone.  2. whether or not someone responds has NOTHING to do with how they feel about you.  we're not all gifted with the ability to say the right thing at the right time. edit: did you look at the views vs. responses on all the threads that came after yours?  apparently we feel the same about you as we do about everyone else posting.

I'll go look at your post and reply. kp

Can't reply to everything...... Don't take it personal
