BAF Members: To The Board Room Pronto! (Seriously Long)

LOL at Rachel's Fake Uncle Pat!   I love it when he and Joe Scarborrow get into it on Morning Joe.  I'll have to check out that site too!   If you go into Danielle's archives there are some great series on Black Conservatives and there was one time where she gave political pundents awards!

I  have been on BAF for about 9 months.  I respond to some post  but am more of a luker.   I appreciate all the advise and stories that  are shared  and will be sure to contribute my 2 cents from here on.  

Interesting read my sister.

May I make one suggestion please.


As far as being considerate.

If you start a post,  for example and it may be just a "hello" greeting.

And you are getting many replies back.    Therefore you (the original poster)  perhaps will start  replying back as well.

Please try not to leave people out that were consider enough to respond to your posting.

Yes I know it may not happen intentionally,    However,  when you are the only one or two that the original poster will not  acknowledge,  this could make some not to eager to participate.

Just a thought !!!

I have been guilty of this Phyllis.  Thank you....point well taken!

u r welcome doll !!!

I have nothing constructive to add.

Hey, Beautiful!

Hey Beautiful Inspire

Your post was well thought out and well written.  Yes, it happens to hit home in many areas.

I am ALWAYS here.  I check in every day.  I am reachable and approachable and have NO BEEF with anyone and I REFUSE to do DRAMA of any kind - especially on the internet.  I am personally in a point in my life where I don't often feel that I have anything profound, different or thought provoking to say that will positivley affect the post and so, often I say nothing.

I ran a support group, I know most of this stuff - even if I don't always do it (I have forgotten a lot of the details to tell the truth) do not like putting out incomplete or irrelevant information. Also I believe in practising what you preach - I've been a bad bad girl. But how many times can you say the same thing.  If sugar makes you dump....then don't EAT SUGAR.  If you don't drink water you will get dehydrated!  You MUST take your vitamins FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!!  WLS will **** up your head!!  If you don't want to hear someone else's TRUTH don't post all your business on the internet and invite them to reply!!!!  What's the difference if I say it, you say it, MM says it ~ it gets said and should carry the same weight. 

Everything changes Babe.  BAF has changed and is evolving.  I am sure that there is still lots of good that newbies and old heads get from it.  The love is still here.  The support is still here.  There are many not so newbies who have stepped up and are doing their thing.  This place is and will forever be da'bomb.  It's gona pick up and drop off - that's the ebb and flow of the internet.  The gentle push that you gave may get some of us moving again but it's our cyber world and for me these days real life takes priority over my cyber life - I wi**** did not because my cycber life is so much more enjoyable.  For instance....I have been replying to this post since 9:30 am this morning.  It's after 1:40 and I'm still not done.  Damn job....how dare it interfere with my BAF life.

I will TRY to do better. I am not in a warm and fuzzy place in my life (My Issues)  I Will be at the M & G.  There are people I personally want and need to see.  There are others that I don't know but I'm sure I will before the weekend is over.  I'm looking forward to it!

Continued Blessings to ALL!!!
 

 

I just want to hijack this post to tell Madame that I enjoyed those support meetings and if ever you want to start up again, I will do more to help, but I understand how life happens to the best of us.

Thanks LaVerne
I REALLY miss our meetings and all the people who participated.
I hope to be able to do it again before this year ends.

LIFE is something else!!!! 
Not complaining - it could be Oh So much worse!!!!

Count me in too!
