What kind of posts.....

I try to be supportive in my posts. I believe in lifting people up and not tearing them down. But I don't do stupid or drama well on the internet or IRL. I enjoy BAF and OH for the variety that it offers. I agree with a lot that you said Madame and what Mrs. Rhonda said as well. Some days I post a lot and some days not so much. I am like that IRL because some days I'm talkative and some days I'm not. I do find myself sitting on my fingers sometimes but then I realize it's just the internet.

FANTASTIC new picture Neena!!

You really have that old skool Lonetta Mckee look going on.
You could pass for Sista from the Sistahs!!!

I feel ya on the uplifting people!!  Keep it up girlie!!!!

This is so ironic because I just received a message from a friend of mine and she has this as her signature line.  I believe it sums it all up for me...

HEY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

I find the things that ARE NOT said to be so much more profound!!

Thank you. I've been told that by several people on BAF about Lonette.  lol

Madame,

I always try to respond to the: I got a date, surgiversary, birthday, encouragement, prayer post and any where I can lend support.  I have received support and encouragement from people on BAF that didn't know me and I didn't know them, but they gave it to me regardless.

I just try to give back some of what has been given to me.  I was new once and I remember all that I went through.  There were so many things that I wanted to know and needed to know.  I would be so glad when someone would post one of those "you know better questions" because the "beat down" answers that they received helped me also - LOL!

If, I can't help the situation -- I just keep my fingers to myself.

The only thing that really bothers me is when someone drops a post here from another forum under the pretense of trying to help others when their real motive is to start a bunch of crap!  No matter what I'm thinking, I try not to give that person the satisfaction of giving them an answer.

See Fruitful,

I detest DRAMA in every form!!!  I do my best to stay away from it.  There are days that I just SIT on my hands.  But I honestly Love people and that keeps me coming back!!

It's funny you would ask this question, because last night I responded to a post to which I would NEVER typically respond. (And I prefaced my reply with those exact words.... but I couldn't help it!)

I hardly ever reply anymore but if I do, it's to congratulate someone or show some accountability. The reason is (you asked why), sometimes / oft times people have created a fake/internet persona through which they live on here. I would feel ridiculous replying to some of that fake azz bullshiot, seriously). And most of the times the ones I ignore are mean, full of drama, and just not really *my thing*....

I replied to this one, though....

Sharon,

Girl you got something on your mind for real!

I have gotten so involved in a man hunt I dont post.

Shame on me.....I respond to whatever is in my heart to respond to.   Matters who it is or what I think of them.  If it is worth my long posts.  I respond.

It really has to chap my hide for me to respond negatively.  Somebody has to really **** in my post toasties.

It is whatever floats my boat kinda thing.  I am guilty of not posting to my buddies post.  Did not feel like.  I am guilty of posting to people I really dont care for if they said something that caught my attention.

I am not prejudice in anyway...matter who, what when where for me it is all about what I want to do......

There was a time that I was dedicated and tried to really support because that is what I got.  Things have changed for me  Not the same love....Not the same board.  But I realize it is the same issues and that is what is important and I am trying to get back to that mode.

Honestly, I think I just show my face enough to keep my promise to myself which was nobody can run me off....I did not run but realize I hardly support.  I am going to try and balance my man hunting and my coming to the board.

I know long as usual....PS I am coming in on Thursday afternoon what are you doing?
