Well that does it! Now you've gone and done it!

You've been a bad girl, now go to my room.

I believe KP or Synnen started that. :)

I just want to mention that KP is always a bad boy and I'm constantly having to send him to my room. In fact, the poor boy is usually in there 25 hours of the day 7 days a week. :cool: :D

Don't you mean 8 days a week?

You cheated! I posted the answer just a few posts ago. :rolleyes:

Yes, that's right. Usually KP does something and I have to send him to my room. It's a tough job but someone has to do him... I mean it. :o

We got an extra day!

When?

Why didn't anyone tell me?

Maybe it's a US thing. I'm pretty sure that we in Canada still only have 7 days a week. Let me count.

Monday... 1
Tuesday... 2
Wednesday... 3
Thursday... 4
Friday... 5
Saturday... 6
Sunday... 7

Yup, only 7 over here. :)

Well, I figured if you were going to add an extra hour to the day, I could add an extra day to the week.

well, i figured if you were going to add an extra hour to the day, i could add an extra day to the week.

Why not an extra day to each day? I could use 48 hours instead of only 24.

Na, I'd be too tired.

Speaking of which, time for this grump to go to bed.

Sorry everyone for my rant, my bad mood. I hope you all understand. Bad days happen to all of us, sometimes the smallest thing will set us off. Not perfect, but I'm still sorry it happened.

Night all.

Oh Alty said it earlier in a thread. It is for all of us. None of us would ever fail at taking over a thread... Hee Hee

Okay now the series side comes out.

I would not fail at being a husband or father. Many people including the experiences I have had. The person that was supposed to be my Father failed miserably. What happened? Who really knows but I know that because of these experiences I had makes me a better person. Makes me a better Father to my children and a better husband to my wife.

Thank you... So this is what I would never fail at is being a Good Father and Good Husband.

I am happy that it does hit home to you Stringer. I just feel that these things are the most important in life. I am happy to contribute hopefully in a positive way here and for others.

The thread might have been evolving but like stringer has said there has been many good replies.

Sarah, had a very good story to tell and share and her post motivated me to share more myself.

Thank you Sarah, and see you on the boards.

Thank you Stringer for starting this thread.

Failure doesn't have to happen here, it seems to be on course now. But I have to agree in some respect that general discussion isn't always a bad thing. Every conversation has some value even when somewhat off topic. We should always be learning something about ourselves and others and conversation leads to better understanding and friendship.

Take a look at this slide, Mr Anderson's 'movies' and books are from his heart and is, for the most part, what I am saying... asking about. A determination to be your best, whatever that may be to you personally.

Success isn't always how much you have achieved financially and shouldn't be. To me it has always been being at peace, being happy with myself and lending a hand where I can. Remember you can not be happy with yourself and not have it be shared...

What would you do if you knew that you would not fail?Hello String:

I'd take a shot at Zoe Anne Olson.

Seriously, though. In terms of business, I never went into one thinking anything other than, I would not fail. I was proven wrong on many occasions, but that didn't stop me from believing it again the next time around. The good news, is that on one or two of those occasions, I was right.

Stringer
Apr 10, 2010, 10:14 AM
Yep, after you take one strike at the plate you don't go sit on the bench again do you? Trying is considered a ambiguous word even after many attempts, but to me it means never giving up. In business I failed twice when I started companies in the past but I learned a lot and had the courage to do it in the first place. I used that experience along with some luck to finally make my third try somewhat more successful.

But as I have said, success isn't all about how many 'toys' you have accumulated to me it really amounts to who you are and what you really do believe in.

For example as a lot of people I have been through many hardships in my life but the core values are things that I can fall back upon and they have helped me. I have never cheated in a relationship even though many would not have blamed me if I had. But this fact makes be happy with myself and to me says that I do stand for something that matters...

Joe, because it means so much to you, you won't fail.

I had great parents, I really got lucky with both of them. My wish would be to aspire to be as great as they were.

I do the best I can but I'm not a perfect parent. Are any of us really?

I wish I could be that confident.

Stringer told me a long time ago to climb out on the branch and try to realize my dream of making and selling my tables and wooden projects. I know he's right, that not trying is the same as failing, but I'm still too afraid.

We're on a budget. We don't have extra money to throw around. What if I do fail? What if it costs more then we can afford? What if... what if... what if?

It would be really nice to see into the future and know whether I'd succeed.

Clough, why are you bringing this up again? I thought we dealt with this yesterday. I apologized and I thought you accepted the apology. I usually forgive and forget, not forgive and then keep bringing it up.

Stringer, if you want me to leave the thread then I will, I'll leave it up to you.

Clough, I don't know how many times I have to apologize before you'll just let it be and move on. Please let me know.

And here I am again, explaining myself - I have no problem with chatting, discussing breast sizes, double entendre, "adult" conversations. I actually refer people to AMHD and so I'm pretty careful what I post. I don't want a stepchild to read it next year and wonder what they heck I'm about.

I DO have a problem when that content is on one of the threads. Community boards? No problem for me. Threads? Problem for me.

I am amused that the person I believe is, was and has been WAY out of line is the only person who hasn't given the whole subject a second thought.

So - enough already with the accusations and apologies.

Definitely noted here, Judy! I'm not into "chat" at all. When content is posted on a thread where the content needs to make sense and have some meaning/importance to the origianal poster, those are the times when I'll take exception to the posts that are frivolous.

Clough, I just want to say, no, you didn't let it go. As soon as Stringer posted you brought up the fact that his thread had gone of track. You posted about it twice. That's not letting it go, that's rehashing it. Whatever, doesn't matter, I shouldn't have let it get to me and I should have kept my feelings about it to myself. My bad.

I'm done. Have fun. Enjoy AMHD, it really is a great place. I'm taking some time off, don't know when I'll be back. Take care all.

Sorry Stringer but I'm sitting here crying at my computer and no site is worth that.

Judy, I have to ask, what do you have to say about the topic of this thread? You haven't responded to it.

Clough, you may have noticed that I tried to get back on track today but your constant questions about how Stringer feels about his thread going off track, it got to me. I thought we had resolved it and even though the thread was getting back you couldn't stop asking Stringer how he felt about his thread being hijacked. So be it. You're a kind person and a good person, I agreed yesterday to let it go, I'm just upset that it wasn't let go. Whatever.

The fact is, I'm upset and it's not worth it. I come here to be with people I care about but once they start making me cry, I really don't see the point in sticking around. I have enough reasons to cry lately, I come here to laugh, not to be made to feel like crap.

So I'm going. I'll probably be back but right now I just can't be here.

Good luck everyone and Stringer, I truly am sorry. Love you.

I personally took that comment from Clough wrong too. I thought we all were getting along and then all of a sudden questioning about where the thread is going again.

I took it personally too because it was right after Sarah personally sharing herself on this thread, and me sharing more too.

Stringer said he wants everyone here. Stringer is the good man who started this thread and wants everyone to be involved.

I am sure you will come back. I hope strong winds dye down and everyone will come back to have a huge group hug again. WHENEVER EVERYONE is ready.

Clough, I think I have taken your comment wrong as well. Are you really offended because the thread seemed to get a bit off track?

I've seen a few threads go off on a tangent, but instead of pointing out faults, why not gentley lead your friends back on track?

It would be really nice to see into the future and know whether or not I'd succeed.

Then what you do is ask for the cost of supplies up-front. Then charge for labor when they pick up the finished product. Asking for half before and half after is a VERY common process, especially in custom projects.

Make sure they sign a receipt or statement that specifies that there are NO refunds on the down payment.

If they don't like the finished product, then you get to either keep it or sell it to someone else. No money lost.

Judy, I have to ask, what do you have to say about the topic of this thread? You haven't responded to it. .



I haven't responded to it (the original question/topic) because - as you should know - I very seldom join the discussions on the forum community boards. I am only here because I asked that this particular thread be moved from a "topic" board to a "discussion" board.

No offense to anyone who asked or answered the question but at this particular moment in my life this is not a topic which interests me.

I'm sorry that this whole situation has you crying and leaving and I truly don't know why you are so upset. A week or so ago you posted (if memory serves me right) that reddies don't bother you, they add color to your profile.

Today you're crying and leaving over something that seems relatively minor to me, and I really didn't intend to offend you or argue with you.

JoeCanada76
Apr 11, 2010, 01:41 PM
It might be minor to you but it is not minor to Alty, to me, to others.

Everybody is going through there own personal struggles. No matter what it may be. Honestly if you only intended to move it then there should have been no reason to comment at all in this thread, right?

No arguing just saying.

No arguing just saying.


Alty asked me why I didn't respond to this thread. I explained why I didn't and why I'm "here" in the first place.

I said this appears to be minor to me. I never said it appears minor to Alty or anyone else or, for that matter, that it IS minor. I said that's how it appears to me. I've seen her get slapped with unfair insults and not turn a hair. I don't know why this thread has set anyone off.

And as far as - "Honestly," If I had intended to move it why did I respond? I didn't move the thread! I asked that a moderator close it; nothing was done; the thread went on; I felt it was out of line; I posted, asking that it be moved; it was moved. That's how it played out.

I can't move anything - I don't want the power to move/close/edit anything. I can make suggestions, just like any other member, but I am not a moderator nor do I have any other super powers on AMHD.

I appreciate that Alty is going through personal struggles. I appreciate that most of the people here are going through personal struggles. You don't need to remind me that we all have personal losses and struggles.

If I had magical AMHD powers I would close this entire thread because it's going no where and causing friction.

I have been proud to call Alty my friend for a long time - and there have been times when she has stopped me in my tracks and made me think. I hope this is one of those times when I've done the same for her.

My 2 cents - and it appears I started the whole thing by asking that the thread be moved - is that it either be moved BACK to where it was (I am the only one who thought it was inappropriate) and left open OR simply remain here and left open.

I'm afraid this is one of those threads that will get bigger in time and if never resolved will never go away.

- And I know you're in the middle. I am sorry about that.

You're an RN. Maybe we should each take 2 aspirin and call you in the AM?

Apr 11, 2010, 06:23 PM
Well I guess it remains that I too should apologize. I think it is clear that my intention when creating this thread was never to start any controversy of any type but to generate some 'personal growth' intrinsic thought.

Over the last two years and nine months that I have been a member of AMHD I have never intentionally participated in arguing or tried to start trouble. If you take a minute to research my threads or any of my posts I believe that you will find that I have tried to be an upstanding member who hopefully brought something positive to the table.

"What would you do if you knew that you would not fail?

This thread's intention was not to be frivolous or to provoke any negative controversial reactions. It was a simple (clear in its intent, I thought) question fully intended to possibly provide a thoughtful response and give others (and myself) the benefit of other members' thoughts.

So, I will in the future choose even more carefully all that I have to ask or say.

I am sorry that this whole mess has taken on a life way beyond what it was created for. I personally do not like to be involved in anything like this has evolved into.

Closing the thread is simple and at this point not a bad idea although I have never had one of my threads closed before I suggest that it should be. However will that resolve the underlying issue that apparently exists, I don't know, hopefully.

All that I have said has been with the knowledge that control is necessary to have a great site like AMHD. And I agree that no other site in my humble opinion is as helpful and thought provoking as the only one where I choose to be a member.


Close it please.

Stringer, I thank you for opening up this thread. It has meant a lot and a lot of good ideas and thoughts have been shared on this thread. Also would like to see and say that maybe resolutions can be done on this page as well.

Stay strong everyone and love you all, and know that maybe the stress of life is getting to each and everyone of us in different ways but we all should come together and mend fences.

No talking about what happened, or second guessing or grudging up things.

Lets make tomorrow a new day with a new set of mind and move on and be better for it. All friendships and family goes through there ups and downs and arguments and disagreements , etc..

But eventually it will work itself out and we will be stronger for it. We are a family here.

Hoping for the best and closing this thread will not resolve anything but make things worse, I know that from PAST experience.

I'll post here once just to clear a few things up and hopefully put an end to the fighting that I seem to have started.

Judy, I was never upset that the thread was moved, I think it was a good decision.

I am upset that I'm being chastised by two people that are far from guilt free. I've seen both you and Clough hijack threads and both of you veered off topic here. It bothers me that I got my hands slapped from two people that don't have the right to slap them.

I am more sensitive then usual, I've been going through a lot of crap lately and all of you only know a small portion of it, only what I've chosen to share with you. Yes it's getting to me and maybe I should have just logged off and quietly taken a break until I was better able to handle the criticism. I didn't and it's too late now.

For once it would just be nice not to be judged by people that have no right to judge because they're guilty too. That's why I was upset. I'm far from guilt free, but at least I'll admit it.

I'm taking a break so there really is no reason to fight about it anymore, the offending party is leaving for a while so the thread can get back on track and everyone can be happy.

Clough, Judy, I still consider you friends, that doesn't mean we'll always agree and sadly it means that you have the ability to hurt me more then most. The one time poster, troll, newbie, wouldn't have gotten to me. The fact that I do care about both of you made it hurt more. That's my problem, no one else's, and no worries, I'll deal with it, that's why I need a break.

I'll be back, maybe in one day, maybe in one week, month or year, don't know, but I will be back so no one needs to feel bad or apologize. This one's on me, it's the way I feel and I can't change that any more then I can change the color of my eyes.

Just don't be mad at each other because of this, okay?

I'll leave you be now to get back on topic. I'll post again when I'm ready to come back.

Love you all.

Alty

I don't want to open up a can of worms here but if a thread is moved to the lounge, where idle chit chat is allowed does a thread really have to stay on track?

I mean there have been threads in the lounge about everyone going camping - we didn't have to talk about camping for 1500 posts.

If it was on the regular board then fair enough, stay on topic but in the lounge, who cares?
Don't like chit chat - don't go to the lounge.

Anyway - I really like Joe's post - you shouldn't have to wish for it though Joe, you already are a great father.

People seem overly focused on the letter, not the spirit, of this thread. A topic like this is GOING to spawn discussion. I have a feeling, that if people hadn't started complaining about it being off topic, it would have righted itself within a few pages. A good chunk of the off topic portion of this thread revolves around rather or not it needs to stay strictly on topic, rather or not it needed to be moved, and rather or not it needs to be closed.

If none of that had been introduced, then the side discussion would have run it's course and the thread would have gotten back on topic. As it stands, it may be a bit too late for that, and it doesn't matter anymore since it got moved to the lounge.

So much for by-gones being by-gones and moving on from here.

Yes, I am one of the people who complained about going off topic.

Instead of keeping this on the thread, why not just PM me and say whatever it is you would like to say?

Or, for that matter, take it up with the moderator who moved it, a person who already feels bad because she's in the middle.

What would you do if you knew that you would not fail?

I would bring world peace to this world.

I would hope and pray that all people would get along even with so many differences.

We can talk about differences and opinions that are different without taking it personally.

That I think people need to realize what is truly important in life.

Getting off my computer, before that starting a new account at askmehelpdesk. New user name, new start... Ratings do not mean a thing to me, I am who I am.

Now each and everyone of you think about what is most important in your life right now, and right this moment make it your priority and maybe we all will take a break and be refreshed after this.

Love you all, Bye for now, and will meet you all again soon sometime in the future.

That would be beautiful. No kill shelter, they should all be no kill shelters.

Well when are you going to open one up??

Aurora_Bell
Apr 12, 2010, 10:23 AM
Oh dear, I wish I could quit my job and focus on that 100%. I agree they should all be no kill. Maybe when someone neglects and abuses their animals or are BYB, they should get the death penelty?? I know too harsh, an eye for an eye, is that really justice? Opps now THIS topic could get risqué! I think people should get fined for not spaying or nuetering their dogs (if they don't have breeding rights).

JH please don't go.

I would open up an art studio where I could work and maybe even sell the things I make. There would be studio space for other artists to rent out and rooms to give classes. I even have a building picked out.

Well why the new account? Please stay who you are. One of the things that really sparked my interest with AMHD, was the friendship, the honesty and the commrodery (I don't care if I spelled that wrong).

This fighting is silly. It's gone far enough, We've all had a good go, said what we needed, now we are all going to move on. I know we will. Ok Like Alty said, we are all entitled to a bad day, and that's what this was. A big looong bad day. No one is to blame, no one was wrong, it is what it is. Now, Jesus Helper by any other name is still Jesus's Helper, but you are one of the people who caught my eye when I started reading all the posts.
Now go spend time with your son, and come back here as YOU! No one else, but good ole Jesus Helper76. And I mean it!

Right now, I'm not sure I can afford even basic supplies for small projects. I am, however, working on making a scratching post for my cats.

I'd like to get back into jewelry design. And maybe learn how to work with polimer clay.

Okay. I was worried that you would change your user name entirly, Joe! At least the one that you've chosen isn't all that different from the other one that you had!

Well that was my intention but there is a reason for starting with a fresh account. I hope others understand why but I am glad that I did not differ much from the name I started over 5 years ago.

Couldn't Ben or Rick "move" your points and greenies to a new name? Or ask Admin if it's possible? In this day and age when your computer can practically make breakfast for you, it just seems like you shouldn't have to lose everything. (And you'll never lose our love, little nephew.)

I appreciate your help and I am sure they could have just changed the user name. Or transfer things over. Honestly Aunty, In reality I have not lost a thing. Greenies, reddies, do not matter. The name means something to people but the whole point is starting fresh is what some people should do, all of us. Does not mean we lose anything. Does it?

Oh that's a good one Ohso!

I was just so horrified by the stories. 99% of the time these women are victims in one way or another. What's sad is that most of the women we call prostitutes can't get out of their situation, they've been trapped by their "pimp" He will hold their ID's and keep money from them. If they try to get a job he ruins any shot she has to try to get away, separates her from her family. People look at these women as if their filth, but most of the time they were molested at an early age and then someone picks them up and makes them "work". The girls can start as young as 12 even, and someone women "work" 10 to 15 times a day, seven days a week. I canll it rape. I can't imagine how horrible it would be to have that kind of lifestyle and feel like they can't get out. Because the men who have sex with these women don't look at them as people, they are toys to do with what they want to and then the women are the ones that are left with that. What's worse is that people blame the women for the prostitution, but there would be no supply if there was no demand. And it's not always women, sometimes it's men and children. More than anything it's just awful.

Agreed, Ohso. The pimps get them hooked on drugs, too, so they have no hope of ever breaking that horrible cycle.

Ever see that movie with Liam Neeson called Taken? Would be great to think that is just make believe. Sadly, it is not.

That was a really good movie. That's basically the documentary I saw. Kidnapping, under aged kids, drugs and sex rings. It was awful. It really makes me sad to think of that stuff. Yuck.
