Good Morning, BAF!!! (Kinda long)

La Verne,
Sometimes its really REALLY difficult to NOT type "What in the *$&**% hell are you talking about???"  or something else of that nature.  What I have tried to do ****il relapsing yesterday) was to temper my remarks with humor.  If the post is TOO ridiculous, I sit on my fingers. 
You are right in that the smart thing to do is take what you can from the board (and life, actually) and discard the rest.

 

I never said I didnt type  "What in the *$&**% hell are you talking about???" I just dont hit the submit button, I come back and read it and if it comes across as mean spirited when I am reading it again, I just dont reply to that post at all. I can only think about one instance when I know I came off as mean spirited and at that moment, I really did not care, I typed the reply and I hit the submit button without reading it, because I truly wanted to say what I had to say to that person, that is how upset that person had me at that moment and yes I got my point to the person I was replying to but at what cost?  I allowed a person on the internet to make me step out of who I pride myself on being and I told myself, never again, because it truly is not what a person say to me on this internet...IT IS MY REACTION TO WHAT THAT PERSON SAYS.

You misunderstood me. My apologies.  I said I have often thought "What the ($*%*(%*%* hell are you talking about..."  I really didn't mean to insinuate that you did. 
I know I have come across as mean-spirited (especially yesterday) and that is something i'm working on correcting.  Especially when it comes to the wonderful world of the 'net.  I guess it takes getting used to in realizing that there is very little difference between here and the real world in that there are those who appear to be "friendly" and really aren't.  Or those who actually do kinda care about a person, though may find it hard to show it. I have to keep telling myself that people are just that: people.  And you are right: one shouldn't let another pull them out of what their normal personality is.  Sometimes, it IS best to just step away from the keyboard. 
 

 

lol, stop apologizing, no need, I was just saying there have been many many times that I not only thought, What the ($*%*(%*%* hell are you talking about, I have typed it many times....but came to my senses prior to hitting the submit button. My post was all about me and how I deal with this board, not about how you should, only you can find a middle ground for you.

OK you owe me for a Lasik touch up with that lil azz writing and no paragraphs LMAO

You let it all out. And you're right most things can be handled in a private manner instead of on front street.

Cassie,
Honestly I feel like passing out pacifiers!!!!!!!!!! 

How many times do we have to ask folk to act like they are the grown people that they claim to be?  Geeeshhhhh already!!!!!!!!!  I am so sick of the whining and complaining about nothing when there are no offers for solutions.  I will say that I respect most folk on this board...there are some that just make me itch.  As long as I have been around here, I think this is something that happens at least a few times a year(especially when things are going well surrounding meet and greets). 

I agree with you....there needs to be some change on BAF.  There are many who no longer chose to share their experience or excitement because of the backlash that comes from it.  I am hoping that things will improve and quickly.  I enjoy the diversity of BAF there are just some things that I know to skip over.  I remember a time when I was excited about introducing folk to BAF due to all of the support that was here. Now...hmmmmm.....ummmmm.......I don't do it.  I try to give as much support as I can but, I have fallen into the "you haven't had surgery so you can't say anything to anyone" label given to me on the BL of course.  I know that I get and give plenty of support on the BL and IRL from folk that I have met right here.  All I know is that I feel some kind of way about BAF right now.  I have been here before and I am sure it won't be the last time.  Thanks for posting what so many are thinking.

hey Swt Peach,

Sorry I make you itch.  How are you, babe? And how is the baby?  :-) 

Heyyyyyy DDDDDDDDDD!!!!!! 

LOL!!!!!!  You are funny!!!  All is well on the homefront.

I always appreciate the support you give me.....even if you are a stinkin pre-op. Please don't stop. Many others could benefit from your southern hospitality lol
