I am addicted, I must be. I thought I could close the forum tab and go. Then I peeked without logging in. I couldn’t believe all the kind responses.
I was so upset that I high jacked a thread. I didn’t even realize I did it. Then I started looking at old posts to see if I had been doing that all along, and I saw that I was always putting my two cents worth in. Lecturing people… Then when they made no comment, I thought that it must have been because people were just being nice and let it go by. You know, the eye roll just ignore thing. I felt so humiliated and ashamed of myself.
I am 50 years old and have been crying for two days. I am crying now. I am menopausal; can I blame it on that?
Of course I will return. But if I am doing something really dumb, please just be gentle.
To be honest I work at night, all by myself. When I am home, I live with my elderly Mother, who sleeps in her chair most of the time. My company is the bird, the dog and my fish tank. I got divorced and I just moved 8 months ago. I have no friends in the area.
Then I found this forum, and made a pest of myself. Long winded posts like this one... But I figure I owe everyone an explanation.
From now on just say “Flower, you are doing it again”… and I promise to get a thicker skin.

You haven't been around long enough to annoy anyone yet. However with a little time patience and practice

I wouldn't have minded being hijacked, it is almost a good thing, it keeps threads alive longer so I can get more answers. I'm definitely guilty of doing this too, it isn't just you. I was just a pissy missy that day and overreacted. You are knowledgeable and cool, I'm glad you didn't go!
Hey I just realized this is like the second time I've pushed somebody out of this forum and had them return. I don't even have 500 posts yet

Proof: It's not you, it's me

I read some of your old posts...
Lemme clarify one thing for you..
If you ask, "Why should I wash my dog?"
People read, "I don't wanna wash my dog"
If you are sincerely asking a question or making a comment, SOMEBODY in this mix of people can clear it all up for you. I had the same issue cause, I am also bad with words, lol.
(I'll post a link as an example)
Glad your back, way glad your older than me, as that situates my perspective.

Here's the thread... read the original post then fast forward to post #9...

I read your post and came back and posted on the board before I answered you.
While I may not feel any less silly for my reactions and crying. I do understand now, that I made some friends. You took time out to send a message. That was very kind and considerate.
All the Reponses have been kind. I did not expect that at all. I peeked without logging in to confirm how bad I had messed things up. I expected snide remarks and cruel jokes. All I got was kindness.
I am going to forgo on lectures though. I really kicked myself over those.
After saying all the above, what I really want to say to you is thank you.

I think you are taking this forum WAYYYY TO SERIOUSLY, just sit back, read, enjoy, add your witty input, don't be afraid to respectfully challenge somebody OR be challenged and the most IMPORTANT THING, HAVE FUN!
There are ALOT OF GOOD PEOPLE HERE and some pests!(you know who you are) and you will make many friends who can be of assistance in almost any topic or situation. If you feel yourself being picked on or overwhelmed don't be afraid to step back or contact a mod!!

If the worst you have done is hijacked a thread, you are still an angel. Just ask Sep to PM you my rap sheet...
