I hate it when people post just to post.....

....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

  • I'm having a very hard time understanding why three out of four guinea pigs have the first letter of their name capitalized, but the fourth one (cuddles), has the first letter of its name in lower cas

  • well, i respectfully disagree. I don't think its acceptable to do it. I strongly dont think that its ok to do it, and i do not think that someone who's doctor didnt tell them about PB's who comes here

I am like the both of you KC and KR. Once I'm up I'm up. it doesn't matter if It was 1 hr of sleep or 6.

I am sitting here crying my eyes out. I should be happy, I know God doesn't make mistakes. But dang the news I got a little while ago has me all upset. I'm going to have another grandbaby. It's not that I won't be thrilled, I will be. I love my "babies" and my babies! But my DD already has 3 that her and hubby can't hardly afford. SIL has 2 other daughters in Puerto Rico. But the only time they want anything to do with daddy is when they want extra money. then they blow his phone up. But he isn't allowed to see them.

With me not working in management anymore and struggling myself, I see how much harder it is on them. I was forever getting things all my DG Children needed. But this past yr. has really hit home. I asked my DD if she is getting fixed this time (tried to get her to do it after last one) she said yes. I told her if she doesn't I will do the flippen surgery myself!

I can't call anyone and cry to them cause I have no min. on my phone. Can't go anywhere no gas! :scared2:

I'm so sorry to cry on your shoulders over something that should make me happy.

So everyone who is drinking tonight, Please drink several for me! A couple of Long Island ice teas, and anything else you might be drinking. Some straight Jack or Jim. Thanks

I can understand where you are coming from G4E. You will get over the shock of the pregnancy and be thrilled. When you are ready to be thrilled, we will be thrilled with you. You know that you don't have to worry about crying on our shoulders.

G4E,

You're right. God doesn't make mistakes. But some of His workings sure make us wonder, huh? There's always a reason why things happen. I know you're upset and have a right to be. It's hard when money issues cloud everything else. But, there's a reason this new life is coming into your family. I was born 15 years after my sister and 18 after my brother. My mom was freaked! She was only 35 so it really wasn't a big deal. But at the time, that was old. My family always says they can't imagine life without me :tt1:. And....I had colic (sp?) for 6 months straight. Cried day and night. And I'm still here. They wanted to toss me out but didn't. So anyway, there's a reason here....

Now, PJTP: (rant) Urgghh. I know this doesn't concern me and I could stop reading them but....someone keeps posting questions that have been answered 10 million times. And she keeps posting really stupid stuff. And boring :(. And is self-absorbed. And cannot spell to save her life. She also seems to have missed a few grammar courses. You may have noticed her 100+ posts today. She's 18 and has a short user name. Girl, read the freaking board!! Your questions have already been answered. And if you are this stupid and ill-informed, you never should have been able to get a band anyway!! Talk about drunk posting - hers is Idiot Posting. Okay, finished now. :scared2: (I think I'm hungry. Maybe I need some chicken strips.)

Ooops, I had a point here. Is this poster just dumb or did she really not get any info from her doc/nut/shrink???

G4E~ That is why we are all here! You can cry on my shoulder anytime. When you are ready you will find the joy in this new baby!

Saw her posts - idiot is a good description. I wanted to ask her where her parents were and did she even ask any questions before she jumped in and had the surgery! Ok, I will stop right there. . .

What she said!

Amen, sister!! She's making me crazy. However, it's like a car wreck, I can't help but look. How sad is that??? I'm bored and hungry. And she IS an idiot. She answers her own idiot questions :tt1:. I think I'm gonna start counting her posts. Maybe she's trying to beat last night's 1000 pages :(. At least our posts are always interesting :scared2: and informative :)....tee hee.

If it is the one I read yesterday I want to jack slap some kind of sence into her. I don't think she listened to her Dr. She prob. gets what she wants from parents so they won't tell her no. so yeah I understand getting frustrated with her.

Where is the mexico thread with HH. I can't find it.

Thanks for letting my cry! Y'all are great!:scared2:

By my comuter, the thread is now on page 8. It's something like "Mexico Anyone?". Plain almost closed it last night. I found the exchange between HH and FIAO quite funny. But maybe it was just me. Again, it's like the car wreck thing. I just have to have a look :scared2:.

G4E, I thought of you on one of my walks the other day and felt compelled to share what came to me:

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you...

I can understand where you are coming from G4E. You will get over the shock of the pregnancy and be thrilled. When you are ready to be thrilled, we will be thrilled with you. You know that you don't have to worry about crying on our shoulders.

Couldn't put it better myself!

Thank you Beth.

O.K. waiting to find out. :scared2:

Supposedly nothing - just getting 'general' video for a health story - boring!

Well I might not have to - trauma call just went out - somebody's bleeding already!
