Okay, I have started this thread for Michelle at her request. She would like the people who have been helping her the most to participate in the "New" Michelle! This board is for people who are willing to help by staying as positive and honest as possible with the ultimate goal of providing Michelle with support, caring and understanding... while encouraging her personal growth.

Thanks so much...

Hugs, Didi

Thank you grammadidi, I tried it myself and it like disappeared.
Anyway, The reason why I am afraid to go to school tomorrow is a long story and I don't feel like typeing it all but a started talking to a girl on myspace at my school. I made an account making fun of someone else at my school and this girl doesn't like that girl either but I just think that she would think its kind of weird that I never talk to her EVER and I sent her a message saying "this isnt really (the girls name) but i hope you dont like her, i dont." she said "who is this" I said "i'lll tell you but dont tell her or anything" and I told her it was me and we talked a little bit about the other girl and why we don't like her and she said "yeah she just always tries to get attention and i dont like people like that ...." And I can't remember much else said but I sent the last message and she never sent one back but I know she read it. And she sits in front of me in one of my classes and I'm just afraid for some reason. Like she's going to think I'm really immature or something/

Awesome! Way to go, Didi!

Let's talk about going to school on Monday. You need your sleep, so please go to bed soon.

What would be the biggest advantage in going to school tomorrow?

So I have so much I'm worried about but I don't feel too worried. I'm worried about school tomorrow and also I want to ask you all, do you think I should believe that he doesn't find others attractive? Its just that he says that's how he shows affection is by not looking at other people. But should I believe that he doesn't find them attractive?

Please answer my question first before I answer yours.

What would be the biggest advantage in going to school tomorrow?

Getting to see my boyfriend and it's the first day of this grading period so I need to start it off right and keep it that way.

Thankyou grammadidi, i tried it myself and it like dissapeared.

Well, what is the worst thing that could happen? She thinking that you are immature? People are going to be thinking lots of things about you because of the things that you say and/or write. It is best to try to say good things, or not say anything at all. Don't you think? Even if you don't like someone, it is always good policy to try and say something nice to them to their face or about them when speaking about them with other people. Word does get around about what either party is saying...

If someone is known as not being very nice, then chances are that most people that are in contact with that person already know that.

In life, it is best to be an example for others to follow, as long as the example that you set for others to follow is noble, and something to be honored as a way to act or be because of trying to make the world a better place for everyone.

Most people deserve a second chance at things if they are willing to show that they want to better themselves or others because of the way that they act.

Well, if she wasn't so big, I would say something to her face... its just that it take like an hour for me to walk around her.

Let's talk about going to school on Monday. You need your sleep, so please go to bed soon.

What would be the biggest advantage in going to school tomorrow?

I really like this positive and proactive approach!
What would be the biggest advantage in going to school tomorrow?

so i have so much im worried about but i dont feel too worried. I'm worried about school tomorrow and also i want to ask you all, do you think i should believe that he doesnt find others attractive? Its just that he says thats how he shows affection is by not looking at other people. But should i believe that he doesnt find them attractive?
This is what I'm worried most about... I'm not worried about school, and I know he wouldn't cheat. But its this

Well, I think I'm going to go. I'll be back online tomorrow. I'm still worried about the school thing but o well, I got to deal with it sometime and I'll get through it

Welcome to your new thread Michelle! :)

Hi Michelle, Let's grow together...

Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you

I started to answer you from a man's viewpoint. It was going to be somewhat long. I would like to do it correctly, and not in so rude a fashion as we know who! In order for me to do that, I need to get some sleep and think on it before I give you an answer. I would like for what I say to be kind, good and helpful based upon the knowledge of your situation that I already have.

We all know that you are okay. You are a very likable and lovable person. You also write really well! You could develop your strengths in that area so that you could use it as a potential as part of what you might do to make a career for yourself. But, you need some work on your grammar and punctuation as most of us do. You don't really wish any harm to anyone. You want to try to figure out the things in your life so that you can continue to grow as a person in your individual life as well as that concerning the relationships that you have.

But, these conversations can go on at another time... I do so want to answer your question about your boyfriend finding others attractive to the best of my ability - after I have gotten a good night's sleep!

well, i think i'm going to go. i'll be back online tomorrow. i'm still worried about the school thing but o well, i gotta deal with it sometime and i'll get through it

That's exactly right! You will get through it!

Sleep? Sleep? What's that??

This is just for Wondergirl, since I had asked her on your other post about what she had done on Sunday.

I did some things in my home. Went to where I thought the Catfish Jazz Society was meeting (they weren't, I was wrong) so that I could speak with the head of the musician's union here in order to rejoin. Went to play just percussion at the rehearsal for the Quad City Wind Ensemble. Came home. Got on the computer and Internet.

But, the best part is - and you're going to love this Wondergirl - is that the meeting that I am going to in the morning is for the Friend's of the Rock Island Library. I have been a member for a number of years now. Have also given at least three programs for them in the past.

Did you know that the Rock Island Public Library is the oldest public library in the State of Illinois?

Sleep? Sleep? What's that?????

I think that you are dreaming now, girl! Maybe you have entered this site in your dream, eh?

At least I'm not swabbing the decks tonight, although I still have dishes to wash...

Time for bed, methinks. I can't stay up all night like all you retired people.

At least I'm not swabbing the decks tonight, although I still have dishes to wash...........

I'm not retired. Just shifted careers... I will never retire... :eek:

Doo ye want to starte talking pyrate language on this post? Me thinks it would not be a goode idea, though! Could also be interesting, though!

Shiver me timber, laddie!! (I have just one timber to shiver.)

So was their any thing else I needed to be worried about? I want to make sure that their isn't

Did you read my post about the Friend's of the Rock Island Library? I thought that it might be of interest to you...

Shiver me timers too, lassy!

so was their any thing else i needed to be worried about? i wanna make sure that their isnt

I just think that you need to get to bed! If you trust our advice, then I would suggest going to bed. I don't have to be up as early as you do.

I don't think I'm going to sleep to night at all though. I know if I do, I'll have trouble waking up

I'm off to bed, maties. Be sure to get your beauty sleep, Clough.

i dont think i'm going to sleep to night at all though. i know if i do, i'll have trouble waking up

When going to bed at this time of the night, you just might have trouble waking up. What is it that would help you to get to sleep, Michelle? You do need your sleep, you know?

I'm off to bed, maties. Be sure to get your beauty sleep, Clough.

Good idea! I got to get out of here too! Do you really think that sleep is going to help my beauty, Wondergirl?

I could go to sleep easy but I don't want to deal with waking up so tired in the morning

Anyway. I'm so tired that this past hour everything looks blurry so I'm going to sleep.

anyways. i'm so tired that this past hour everything looks blurry so i'm going to sleep.

Sweet dreams!

I sent you tidings of great joy via site mail, Clough.

I sent you tidings of great joy via site mail, Clough.

I got them! Goodnight!

i could go to sleep easy but i dont want to deal with waking up so tired in the morning

Great awareness, Michelle. So, pick the correct solution:

a) Stay up so you are a stressed out basket case who can't communicate properly with anyone the next day
b) Go to bed earlier so you don't wake up so dead tired


anyways. i'm so tired that this past hour everything looks blurry so i'm going to sleep.

Thank you, M. A bit late, but a responsible act, none-the-less. I think that those of us who are attempting to help you should join a pact. I don't think we should post to you after... hmmmmm... let's say 12:30 am on a school night and 1:30 am if it's not?

Hope you work hard today and try to do or say at least one thing nice for/to somebody.

Hugs, Didi

Hey, I'm here. I may not be online much anymore for a while due to some family problems.
Anyway, so do you think that he IS telling the truth when he says that? Even though in mose cases with other people it would probably be a lie? We have been together for 669 days. Lol. Yeah I know. I realized that for some reason the day I was really sad, was the 666th day

I'm sorry, Michelle, about your family problems. I hope all turns out well. As for whether he was telling the truth... who knows? My guess is, that he probably finds other females attractive, because, if he didn't I would be a little concerned about him! He is probably terrified to tell you the truth because you have a tendency to over-react to things at times. Plus, he may be telling the truth in it's meaning. He may mean it's not the same kind of attraction that he has for you. Perhaps it's a physical attraction, perhaps a crush... but not an attraction of any importance.

Either way, I guess the issue I have with your concern, is that I don't understand what the big deal is. You can love somebody but still find others attractive. It doesn't mean that you care less.

Michelle, you have to understand that the teenaged years are ones of discovery and learning who you are, what you want in life, what you want in a partner, etc. It is perfectly normal to find other people that you are attracted to, move from relationship to relationship, etc. Yeah, it might not seem fair, but even that is personal growth.

Anyhow, off the top of my head, those are my thoughts. Did you have any homework tonight? If so, is it all done?

Michelle, I am so happy to meet this other side of you. Thank you for showing it to us.

Love, Didi

That's the thing. If he does, then he doesn't show any affection at all so yeah. That's real great

That's why no one understands. And I just wish that someone did

Is your question the one on the following link? https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relationships/boyfriend-had-affair-138660.html

What about what I said? No one cares about it

Yes they do. People have been trying to answer you since you first come to this site. You refuse to accept their explanations and reasonings.

What's the truth? It doesn't make sense at all... I fyou can see from my point of view, you would see that he doesn't, he doesn't have to, he says he doesn't, and I really feel he doesn't, and I would believe him if it wasn't for everyone else being so different. So does he or not? Is it possible that he IS telling the truth, when he says he doesn't find others attractive?

I want to hear the truth from him but I don't want to keep asking him and he won't really answer. He said he called this weekend but I didn't answer. I know that's a lie because I was home all weekend, had my phone with me, and checked the collar id.

You HAVE heard the truth from him. STOP ASKING HIM.

"caller ID" A collar is on a blouse or shirt.

what about what i said? No one cares about it

Yes, we do care about what you say! If we didn't, we wouldn't have spent the amount of time that we have on you!

How exactly is your boyfriend treating you now, please?

Let's put your feelings aside for just a little bit. What are his actions towards you in the last few days, please?

I'm just going to go on myself and not have strangers tell me what to think.I will think what I want and decide myself if it the truth or not because this isn't workning at all, no one understands... does that necessarily make me wrong?? I guess that's what I really want to know but not exactly in those words. But I'm going blind from crying and looking at the computer screen, so many hours a day and still not getting any where. So I'll keep asking him until he answers and I'll just have to believe what he says. Even if it is a lie, I'll just think its not

Actions do speak louder than words, you know? A person can say anything they want. But, what they DO with how they ACT is what really matters.

Let's put your feelings aside for just a little bit. What are his actions towards you in the last few days, please?
I don't know. I don't get to talk to him much at all to even know. I can tell you almost everything we said to each other today if that helps:

Me: Here's your history homework
Him: o thanks
Me: why didn't you call this weekend?
Him : I did and you didn't answer
Me: That sounds like a like since I have caller id and know if you wouldve called
Him: isn't that what I always say, 'that sounds like a lie,' or I used to anyway. Go ahead say something
Me: what
Him: that sounds like a lie
Me: Well, if you called what day was it?
Him: I don't remember. Why can't you call me?
Me: because of your mom.
Him: o yeah that's right
Me: well, what would she do if I called?
Him: I don't know. That would be pretty funny though
Me: Well, can you call me today?
Him: I'll try, but I don't know if I can

And that's pretty much it.
O and I asked him to answer that question and he said "what question?"
And he said he couldn't remember but I didn't want to ask him again.
He didn't call today but he probably couldn't.

Can't you just give me a yes or no? Why can't you? Why couldn't he?
Just what you think yes or no. doesn't mean its true

I wish he was this way all the time
This is probably the best e-mail I've ever gotten from him:

Hello Michelle. I have been busy these past couple days and haven't got the chance to reply. There is so much to talk about and do, yet no way to do it. I suppose we will just have to wait until we are older. I miss you terribly, but don't mind the wait. It gives me plenty of time to relax and enjoy my youth. How have things been at your house? Has anyone mentioned me lately or have they forgotten all about me? I really must be going, its early in the morning and I need to sleep.
Yours forever,

Go to bed, Michelle. You are making too many demands upon your mind and body and it is rendering you useless. You can't think straight when you act this way. You are pushing this boy away, and you need to think more before you act or react. You are like a nagging wife with this guy and soon you will give him no choice but to move on. THAT is why you feel him distancing himself. You are too high maintenance. Men like women who are cheerful, fun, funny, smart, caring and independent.

Go to bed and start over in the morning.

Hugs, Didi

That still doesn't answer my question. Hurry I'm going blind and I have to type with my eys closed and it hurts to look at the screen

You are so correct!

I'll come back in a week and see what responses I have from all of you, I will think myself about it, talk to him about it, and maybe if I can do it even talk with my brother about it since he keeps asking me what's wrong... he notices something's wrong before I even notice it. Anyway, from that I will decide what I think the truth is... I do know that I've told him a long time ago that everyone else would think he would find others attractive and he said "well, theyre all wrong"... that's not exactly what was said I don't thinkbut pretty close

Soory, it was being slow and wouldn't go so I said that more than once

And you all think you know I need to go to sleep because I'm going to be tired or whatever... it isn't that easy and I usually sleep from like 5pm - 9pm.

Can someone please explain this site to her? I need to go

I'll come back in a week and see what responses i have from all of you, i will think myself about it, talk to him about it, and maybe if i can do it even talk with my brother about it since he keeps asking me whats wrong.... he notices somethings wrong before i even notice it.

How old is your brother? Please excuse me if you have already posted it elsewhere. By now, anybody following all of these thoughts about you would have to read through a dearth of posts!

Thanks everyone for the support if you have left advice~!

Just a few things that I want to leave you with tonight, Michelle. One is a link to another poster who is around your age. She did not choose her avatar. Her avatar says, "Troll Alert High." I and others have tried to help her. She heard from me very pointedly, about wasting other people's time. That post of hers where I mentioned that to her has since disappeared. She has since then tried to post good things rather than things to draw attention to herself and also argue with those who are trying to help her. She has been listening and acting on the advice that she has been given.

One of the links is: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/other-family-people/how-do-delete-program-mom-put-me-133633-4.html#post651124

Unfortunately, her avatar remains. I hope that the same thing doesn't happen to you... I am hopeful that administration will take off the avatar that they have given to her. For a definition of what a troll is, please see the following sites: Troll (Internet) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll) and Troll Definition (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TrollDefinition)

There have been mainly three of us who have tried to help you. Others have jumped in now and then, and they are also excellent helpers and advisors. But, they also have other fires that they need to try to put out with people in trying to help others, depending on their area of their expertise.

You can trust that we are not some strangers in the darkness of cyberspace who are trying to steer you in the wrong direction. We really do care. If we didn't, we wouldn't have spent the time on you that we have already. We just aren't able to physically be there to give you a real hug when you need it or a real shoulder on which to cry. All three of us have had extensive experience in the care and counseling of youth and children by virtue of the professions that we have had or do currently hold. I may have said it before, and if I have, I will say it again. I don't think that it's any accident why certain people meet and come together for whatever purpose. There is a purpose being served right here on this site, Michelle.

grammadidi was awesome in taking of her free time to start a new thread for you! So far, I think that it has worked out pretty well! But, we seem to be going in circles again with the advice that we are giving you and the way that you are acting on it. Actions do speak louder than words, Michelle!

There is one more thing that I would like to leave with you. It is sort of a diversion, but could be helpful to you. It could also be fun to do! It is a series of private messages that I received from a member of this site several months ago.

The moniker that she uses is serena6878. I don't know if she is still involved with this site or not.

The following was the first message. This being after we had already exchanged correspondence concerning the particular concern that she had.


Hi, Clough
I have a quiz for you. Please help me finish it.
First, please write down a series of numbers from 1 through 11.
Then, please write down two of your female friends' name separately beside number 3 and 7.
Please write down three song names separately beside number 8, 9 and 10.
Let me know when you finish it :>

Serena

For you, of course you would substitute male names for the friends.

For me, when all was said and done, the results were exactly on target! Really freaked me out!

Clough

I did the quiz. Now what??

How old is your brother? Please excuse me if you have already posted it elsewhere. By now, anybody following all of these thoughts about you would have to read through a dearth of posts!
He is almost 24

he is almost 24

Okay. Thanks! I got to go for awhile. Have business to which to attend and also a 2&1/2 hour rehearsal to conduct.

Would you like to give the quiz that I posted a try? The results might possibly astound you!

I did the quiz. Now what????

I am waiting to see if others might want to participate in it also, before I post what the answers might mean.

I am waiting to see if others might want to participate in it also, before I post what the answers might mean.

I have MY answers all prepared! :D

Hugs, Didi

I'm glad that you are participating also, Didi! I will get back to you later tonight! By the way, I just love your art! The rehearsal that I have to conduct will last until 10:00. I should be back home about 10:30.

I have some work to do, but I should be back online around 10:45 or so tonight. Thanks for saying you loved my art. :) Have a good evening.

Hugs, Didi

I am waiting to see if others might want to participate in it also, before I post what the answers might mean.

Can I play too Clough?

Can I play too Clough??

Of course! All are welcome and invited! :)

Okay. Thanks! I gotta go for awhile. Have business to which to attend and also a 2&1/2 hour rehearsal to conduct.

Would you like to give the quiz that I posted a try? The results might possibly astound you!
I don't understand it.

i dont understand it.

What is it that you don't understand about it, Michelle? #1, #2, #3 or #4??

1. First, please write down a series of numbers from 1 through 11.

2. Write down two of your female friends' names - one beside #3 and the other beside #7.

3. Write down the names of three songs. Put one each beside number 8, 9 and 10.

4. Let me know when you finish it.

I don't have 2 friends

Have you ever?

Yeah

So why don't you use their names?

Wait, male or female names?

Read it again, hun.

[A female], of course, would substitute male names for the friends.

Br, a girl writes down two male friends' names. A guy writes down two female friends' names.

Okay I'm done..

Me too. He'd better show up soon.

I wonder what happens with the numbers that don't have anything written next to them.

Wait, I never really talked to any boys. Could I write down my boyfriend. And the name of a kid I would sometimes talk to. More of an aquaitance

Hey, Michelle, it's bedtime... but I wanted to ask you if you did anything (hopefully 3 things) positive today? Did you make an effort to smile at someone, help anyone in any way? Did you deal with a problem in a positive way instead of negative? Did you finish you homework (if you had any)? Did you read anything interesting, come up with any new hobbies?

Just wondering...

Didi

wait, i never really talked to any boys. Could i write down my bf. And the name of a kid i would sometimes talk to. More of an aquaitance

You write whatever names you feel there, hun. If you consider them friends, then I guess it would be just fine! :)

Me too. He'd better show up soon.

I wonder what happens with the numbers that don't have anything written next to them.

Yeah, I bet he's going to make us think and write some more! Hahaha! Wonder where he is? He said he'd be back about 10:30. Hopefully all is well. I always worry when people are late. What a pain! :)

Didi

That girl at my school who I was afraid was going to say something to me... she sat in front of me and turned around and put her head down on my desk and started talking to me.. then I helped her with her work.
I didn't bother with my homework because its in algebra and I hate how my teacher grades things. You get 10 points for doing somewhere between 15 and 100 problems. But either way each assignment is worth 10 points. And I don't understand the stuff anymore. I did up until about a week ago but now I am lost

That was great about the girl in front of you! I bet she appreciated the help. That's a huge step for you, isn't it??

As for the algebra, haven't you asked for help yet? Maybe this girl who sits in front of you knows how to do it and could help YOU?? Just a thought... Honestly, though, Michelle, you are better off trying to do the work and getting it wrong than not doing it at all. I told you before, that way the teacher HAS to pass you! Plus, she can see where you are having problems and maybe she will spend more time teaching the things you have difficulty with. I think it's better to try than to do nothing. Plus, don't forget, Wondergirl said she'd try to help.

Anyhow, why don't you get your pretty little head down for the night? I guess we'll find out tomorrow what Clough has in store for us.

Sweet dreams...

Hugs, Didi

Yeah probably because I think she is in a higher math class. Like geomatry or something so she alreadt passed algebra I think

Was that THAT girl we talked about earlier??

Which one?? She's the one I talked to on myspace

I am here! Please let me catch up!

Ok, gotcha. Thanks.

Yeah, I bet he's going to make us think and write some more! Hahaha! Wonder where he is? He said he'd be back about 10:30. Hopefully all is well. I always worry when people are late. What a pain! :)

Didi

I'm sorry about that! Yeah, I know. I'm a real pain in the..

One of the other singers in the group invited me over after the rehearsal because his wife had made this pot roast that was incredibly delicious! He also wanted to spend some time discussing issues...

i dont have 2 friends

You're correct! You don't have two friends, because you have at least four or five here! :D

So then what do I do when I'm done?

One of the other singers in the group invited me over after the rehearsal becuse his wife had made this pot roast that was incredibly delicious! He also wanted to spend some time discussing issues...

You love them more than you love us?? (And we had no pot roast--or caramel brownies--waiting here... )

Ok, Clough. We have our lists. Now what?

Okay, I'm caught up as much as I going to be right now and will stop keeping you nice people from waiting. As far as I can tell, we have four females who wanted to participate in the test, Michelle, friend4u178, Wondergirl and grammadidi correct?

Not that it really matters from my perspective in the test, but does anyone know if friend4u178 is a male or a female?

I believe a male... just from checking profile

I'm sorry about that! Yeah, I know. I'm a real pain in the...!

One of the other singers in the group invited me over after the rehearsal becuse his wife had made this pot roast that was incredibly delicious! He also wanted to spend some time discussing issues...

Hahahaha! I didn't mean YOU were a pain! Ohhh... who could turn down a pot roast? :) Glad all is well and you had a good evening. Sure beats sitting around on a computer all night!

Hugs, Didi

You love them more than you love us???? (And we had no pot roast--or caramel brownies--waiting here....)

You know about "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach!!" :p :D ;)

Br is correct about friend4u--sounds like a male person.

What I am going to do is send each of you a private message the way that Serena sent one to me. As a matter of fact, I am going to send the same messages. Because of the way that the test works, I think that it would be preferable that the reasons not be posted here the way that they were sent to me. If they were, then that would spoil it for other people who might want to participate in the test. I think you will see why after you see the reasons for the questions. (I'm using the word reasons for the questions, but that might not be the most correct word. Help me out someone please, if you would with a better word, if there is one, after you have seen the private message that I am going to send you.)

I think that it would be okay to discuss the test on the post we are on right now, just not to post the reasons in the order they were given to me.

I will proceed with more, after all of you have let me know that you have read this message by posting a response here to it. Thank you!

I'm not going to send the message to friend4u178 until he indicates to me that he has written down the names and the other things that were asked.

Okay, Clough... I have read the most confusing message that I have read tonight! :D By the way, is your name Welsh?

Didi

Okay, Clough... I have read the most confusing message that I have read tonight! :D By the way, is your name Welsh?

Didi

Sorry about that! I tend to over-explain things. I am somewhat obsessive-compulsive. It's just that, the way the test works the best, is if the person answering the questions has absolutely no idea as to why the questions are being asked. If they did know, then they would be favoring the way that they were answering because they would want the test to come out the way that they wanted.

Yes, the name is Welsh. How did you find that out? There is a Clough castle in Wales. My family has been in this country since the year 1635. About the only things that are left to be uncovered in the family history is the dirt! :p

Yes, I read it.

*brushing my teeth before bed*

(SOMEWHAT obsessive-compulsive?? )

Yes, I read it.

*brushing my teeth before bed*

(SOMEWHAT obsessive-compulsive???)

Thanks! Okay, that's two out of three people. Michelle, if you need anything explained, that will happen either tonight or tomorrow. I just need to know that you have read the message as I had asked. Thank you!

Yes, the name is Welsh. How did you find that out?

My maiden name is Davies... nice Welsh name. :)

(SOMEWHAT obsessive-compulsive???)

Hey, I resemble that remark! :D

Yes you do!

I'm near death with fatigue. I'll give you five more minutes, and then I'm history.

I never received a message

I'm near death with fatigue. I'll give you five more minutes, and then I'm history.

I'm still waiting for Michelle. If you decide to call it a night, then I will still send you the message.

I'm not going to send the message to friend4u178 until he indicates to me that he has written down the names and the other things that were asked.

LOL :-) I have them written down.

Michelle is waiting, just like I am. Do you mean friend4u?

Thank you, friend!!

LOL :-) I have them written down.

Thanks! I'm glad you are back!

We are all here, waiting and we all have our answers written down, Clough... tap tap tap... waiting somewhat patiently.

And yes I am male

I just wanted to share something with you all... about 4 weeks before school started I had a strong feeling I was going to see my boyfriend soon and I wasn't sure at the time if he was going to my school or another school... luckily he goes to mine still. So, I did see him kind of sooner than I could have.
Well, now I have that same feeling only its like I'm going to be able to actually hang out with him soon... I MAY be able to get my license soon or he may be able to talk to me anyway.

I never received a message

Sorry, I didn't see that!

I haven't sent the private message yet. I just wanted to make sure that you had read what I had written earlier. It is below.

Friend4u178, please let me know that you have read it also. Thanks!

Friend, is your avatar your dog, or just a general pic?

And yes I am male

Thank you for clarifying that.

Michelle, you probably have a better chance of that if you make some changes in your life. I think you are trying, so keep up the good work.

(Mind you, we aren't helping by keeping you up all night on a school night!):D

Hugs, Didi

Hi Gramma
No just an avatar. Clough I have read it

Okay. Enough waiting. Michelle, please don't copy and paste on this post anything from the private messages that I will send to you, okay? Please answer. Thanks!

Nothing from PM's should ever be published on the public forum in my opinion anyway.

Nothing from PM's should ever be published on the public forum in my opinion anyway.

I agree! Although, I did slip up and mention the name of the poster when I originally placed the test on this post.

Nothing from PM's should ever be published on the public forum in my opinion anyway.

I absolutely, totally agree! (Unless of course, you ask permission of the person who wrote it and it is given... or it isn't something private, but just general information.)

Clough, are you sending something out to us?? Are we actually waiting for something?

I have to leave now , will be back tomorrow. Bye all :)

I am going to send something out now. I haven't heard back from Michelle, so I won't send her something just yet.

Please understand that the person who sent me the original test was someone who I helped on another post and who I don't know at all. Her wanting me to participate in the quiz, as she called it, came as a total shock to me! I didn't know what was going on.

Her explanations to the answers I had given, quite frankly, set me back quite a bit! She was dead-on correct!

I can't guarantee that you will have similar results as I did. I don't know why that it worked. It just did. If nothing else, it was just very interesting! I hope that you have similar results with it. If it turns out to be a waste of time for you, then I really apologize about that.

I am going to compile and send the messages, now. Thanks for waiting! Please realize that my mailbox here is just about full. I save certain messages for personal reasons. So, if you reply to me that way, my mailbox might get too full. Thank you!

Oooops... sorry, I sent to your mailbox here. However, I also sent you an email with the other test. When you have finished it, I will send the results, as well as an excellent personality test that is bang on!

Hugs, Didi

I wonder what happened to Michelle? She has been getting an awful lot of information to absorb and assimilate! I hope that she is okay! It was time to get to bed, though.

I just want to say that this thread for Michelle is a great idea. Thank you Didi, you have the special touch of reminding all of us what is important. To you Michelle, I am sorry if I was not possitive in earlier threads. I truly had the goal of helping out in some way and I hope that I can start to do that in a new way, starting here. Starting today.

Starting today.

Thank YOU, Joe! Knowing you, I am sure that you truly had the goal of helping Michelle in some way. I also know that sometimes people who really want to help can sometimes overreact and say or do the wrong things. I know I do! :) What matters here, I think, is that you have realized that you have made some mistakes and apologized. That is huge, Joe, and something that Michelle, and others, can learn from.

See, Michelle! Sometimes we think that we have no-one. Then when we change our attitude and start on a path of self-improvement we find that people DO care! I bet that if you continue on this path you have chosen to follow that you will find yourself with some wonderful, caring and supportive friends.

Those who really care will come here to offer encouragement and support to you. Sometimes we will just be silly and fun to help you minimize your focus on your problems to enable you to move past them. Other times we'll be a pain in the butt (like encouraging you to go to bed or only post during a decent time so that you get a good nights sleep!). We may try to help you to become more self-aware, self-confident or self-controlled. I know that whatever role we play in your life, regardless of the outcome, you will glean knowledge from it, and, if nothing else, learn that there ARE people out there who care. I also believe, Michelle, that you have something to teach us.

Hugs, Didi

Okay I'm here... now what about that list?

Hi, Michelle? Are you asking about the private message that I was going to send out or something else?

The private message

I'm going to send to you the private message that I sent to the others. But, please realize that I won't be around for awhile to answer any questions because there is some work that I have to do before 4:30.

Is that okay if no one is around for awhile who knows about the test who could answer any questions that you might have?

I'm sorry! But, I really do have to go now! I will be back later...

Hey, Michelle, are you online? Probably not, as it's showing you offline. Anyhow, I just wondered how your day went today. Do you have anything positive to tell us about? If not, we'll catch you later, I guess. I was just thinking of you...

Hugs, Didi

Me, too! :)

WOW Clough , that quiz thing was brilliant , worked for me thanks :-)

It really did? That's great! I wondered about that. I was taking a chance. I still haven't given those explanations to Michelle. It will be interesting to see what she thinks. Still no word from Wondergirl, either.

Now, if we keep posting here before certain others return, it might get a little confusing for certain individuals to catch up. Nudge...

And of course you know it worked pretty good for me, too! How about that other one I sent you? Have you ever done it before, Clough? I found some of your answers veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery interesting... heehee!

Hugs, Didi

Are you going to share that one with us too Didi?

Hmmmm... I guess I could! You may have seen it before. It circulates the web a lot. Oh, well... why not? Here are the questions that you must answer:

Make a wish before you begin to answer.
First, order the following animals according to your preference:

a) Cow
b) Tiger
c) Sheep
d) Horse
e) Pig
Second, write a word that describes each of the following:

a) Dog
b) Cat
c) Rat
d) Coffee
e) Ocean
Third, think about someone (who also knows you and is important to you,) that can be related to the following colors (do not repeat your answers.)
Name only one person per color:

a) Yellow
b) Orange
c) Red
d) White
e) Green

After you answer those questions, send me a PM and I'll tell you what it all means. :)

Now, I have to restart my computer after a Windows Update and catch up on some other threads. Be back later...

Hugs, Didi

I feel bad for trying 100's of times to get into his mail and now I did figure out his password and all the e-mails were from me and to me.

Michelle, have you not learned anything here? Let me give you my thoughts.

When you love someone... and I mean REALLY love them, you trust them. There are no ifs, ands or buts about that, sorry! I don't know if you have ever heard this before, but read and think about this:

"Love is very patient and kind, NEVER jealous or envious, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not touchy. It does not hold grudges and hardly even notices when others do it wrong."

One other thing... you cannot ever truly love anyone else until you love yourself.

Think about those two things, Michelle. I told you before that you will push the people you care about away with your immature behaviour. Now it is time to self-evaluate and grow.

Hugs, Didi

Ditto, Didi!

Do you want me to send that private message to you now, Michelle?

Yes please

So what do you think I can say to my boyfriend to get him to stop lying about things? Hes not hideing anything to big but he just always acts like he doesn't know what he's talking about and lies about little things. And then when I bring it up he just says things like "i dont know what your talking about" or "I can't remember"

yes please

Then, here it comes! Do you promise that you won't post the contents of the message on the thread that we are on right now? That means with everything else that has been posted so that all can see it.

Yeah I pomise

Good! Please check your Inbox in the next couple of minutes. Thank you!

I sent it. Please let us know that you received it. Also, please know that it is mainly for entertainment purposes - that is important that you realize that. Although, there may be some truth to it.

I am going to have to leave for a little bit. Grammadidi will be able to help you if you have questions. I will return.

I do want to also point out, that it is getting late. You do have school tomorrow, correct? So, if you do have school, then we are going to have to cut off communications at a reasonable hour for the night so that you can get some sleep. Okay?

so what do u think i can say to my bf to get him to stop lying about things? Hes not hideing anything to big but he just always acts like he doesnt know what hes talking about and lies about little things. And then when i bring it up he just says things like "i dont know what your talking about" or "I can't remember"

I guess you just have to start trusting him more. I know one thing, if you keep accusing somebody of things that they really didn't do (or remember) they will get tired of it and move on. Michelle, I am assuming that you want honesty here, right? That is why we came over and started this thread? Honestly, you are too wrapped up in distrust. You have a tendency to over-react to things because you are unhappy in your own personal life. Sweetie, I really think you need a therapist or counsellor... someone to talk to about all this stuff AND the way you feel.

I don't know you very well, but I will tell you what I see. I see a very sad, lonely young lady who feels like the people she cares about the most don't care about or for her. You are afraid of being hurt, so you push people away. Some, like the kids at school, you push away by being a loner, by not smiling or talking to them or eating with them. Others, like your boyfriend, you push away by being obsessive, untrusting, etc. It's really like a defense mechanism.

Until you get the help that you need you will continue to be unhappy. There is a lot of great help out there, Michelle, but you have to grab on to it when it is offered, or go out seeking it when it isn't. Only you know what is in the depths of your heart, Michelle. When I try to join you in there all I feel is pain and overwhelming sadness and loneliness. The saddest part of that, for me, is that I KNOW it does NOT have to be that way.

If you trust me enough to PM me and tell me where you live, and even what you think you need, then I will help you get the help you so badly need. You deserve it, Michelle. Things just cannot get better until you do!

I care, sweetie, and I extend my hand and my arms to you. I hope you accept them.

Warm Hugs, Didi

I know he's lying because I let him borrow my cell phone and he gave it back the next day and said that he couldn't get it to turn on. But when he gave it back, some pictures of him on their were deleted and I didn't delete them. They were their until he borrowed it. So he had to have turned it on.
He didn't trust me before either,. he had a cell phone and didn't let me knmow about it and he text me and pretended to be someone else and all this stuff but I knew it was him. But the thing is that he always said that he doesn't know how to text and all that.

Oh, and you boyfriend MAY lie because he's afraid to tell you the truth because of the way you feel or react. Maybe he just doesn't want to hurt you... or maybe he just doesn't want to fight with you. Of course, there is always the possibility that he doesn't really care. All of those reasons give you more reason to make a good life for yourself. You need to love yourself or you will be unhappy, taken advantage of, lied to and hurt for many years to come. I'm not saying that this boy is doing that, but others will.

Hugs, Didi

Maybe you BOTH just aren't ready for a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship? Is he troubled?? Does he have problems with other kids or adults? Is he a loner?? If so, then maybe he is very much in need of the same things you are, hun. People with problems tend to gravitate to other people with problems.

Hugs, Didi

He has quite a lot of friends but he always talks about how none of the other kids ever liked him and he likes to be alone and all kinds of stuff... the last time that he wanted to break up was in June and it wasn't like it used to be evryday where he was mad... this time he said that he didn't want a girlfriend and when he was ready I'd b the 1st he calls but he likes it better by himself and there's less to worry about... etc


I got to go its too much for me to type. And I keep messing up on like every word and I'm like really strssing out bad over this homework

They give me WAy too much I've been doing it for like 3 hours now

I thought you were going to stay off the computer until it was done! Sigh... Michelle, go do your homework. I'll be here tomorrow, but my adopted daughter and I are going out for supper, so it will probably be around 8 pm or so. Please try to finish your homework first.

Good night, sweetie. Talk to you tomorrow.

Hugs, Didi

PS... Maybe it's time to let him go and just concentrate on you.

It is getting late and time for bed for those who need to get up early in the morning.

Michelle, did you get the message that I sent to you?

O I gave up on the homework... it was too much. I couldn't handle all of it. I couldn't even think. I couldn't concentrate. And I think it may have even given me a panic attack because it was too much... a 10 point assignment with like 20 problems took me over an hour to do. And she only grades 5 problems so I probaby failed it

I spent an hour doing homework and another hour, really imatient and panicing to get done with it.

Are you going to answer my question, please?

Yeah I got it.

Let me pm you. Hold on

As long as you are putting forth the effort, Michelle. Maybe you can finish in the morning. Did you read what I said about trying to get you help? Do you want to PM me?

Hugs, Didi

let me pm you. hold on

Okay. I received your private message and responded. I just wanted to make sure that you were okay with the results of the test. If it worked, then it worked. If it didn't, then it didn't. If it worked, then it's okay to post that it did here. If it didn't, then it's also okay to post that it didn't here.

She's gone to bed. At least it's getting earlier! :)

Hugs, Didi

Do you know what bebo is? Its some website, but I don't know exactly what it is

Go to bed, Michelle.

No. U can't make me

I'm glad that most of the test worked out to be correct for you! Now, it is time to be getting to bed if you have school tomorrow. You do have school tomorrow, don't you?

Yeah. How do you expect me to sleep? Im as hyper as michael jackson when he knows that theirs little boys a mile away and goes running to them. Lol. I don't know, I'm just making things up. I can stay up late though because I sleep when I get home from school

No. U can't make me

Of course we can't make you go to bed. It is your choice. But, we can just quit responding to this post. It would probably really be done here for the night.

A big part of what life is, is about making choices. I think that I have already mentioned that in another post to you. If you make the wrong choices, then you could suffer for it in many different ways. One of first things that enemies of the United States do to captured soldiers of the U.S. is try to deprive them of sleep. No one functions well unless they have had the proper amount of sleep.

I checked bebo. It looks like a people-connector site, like FaceBook etc. I'd never heard of it until you mentioned it. It looks like something people under 30 get into. You have to register and I suppose can post photos and stuff you write, like, have your own "'page".

But, you don't function well at school because you are so tired! It is part of your problem!

It's time for me to say goodnight to you also, Michelle. I hope that you make a good choice about trying to go to sleep tonight. We can continue another time. We only wish the best for you and for your future.

Goodnight.

I never heard of it either but I seen a thing for it in my bf's e-mail and I went into it and he didn't have any friends on it or anything and it said he joined novemeber of 2006. But the whole thing was blank. Their was his age and account name and that's it.

I think it's pretty new. It probably wasn't much of anything when your boyfriend first joined. It seems to be poppin' now.

I got to go to bed, otherwise I'll turn into a witch. I had logged off last night and totally forgot my password to get back on this morning, and then couldn't connect with the site to get back on. I nearly had a nervous breakdown. I won't log off this time, so I will show as "here", but I will be snoring instead.

Nighty night. See you tomorrow evening.

Theirs another e-mail that he sent when my acount was suspended and I didn't get it and this is what it said:
Well, that's nice of you I guess. It seems like Ive become really popular lately. Lindsy came up for the weekend ands really excited to see me, and Kayla is in town for the week. She laughs at everything I say, and its kind of weird. She asked if I wanted some milk, and I said "No way" and she busts up lauging... and when I play with the little kids, she watches and laughs... you don't think she likes me, do you?

Should I be worried about this? I mean it doesn't sound like he likes her or anything, does it?

I Am Not Going To Sleep Until I Get A Response

We told you we were leaving for bed.

He's pushing your buttons with comments like that, trying to make you jealous, so he knows you like him for sure.

should i be worried about this? I mean it doesnt sound like he likes her or anything, does it?

As long as you react to stuff like this he'll keep doing it! Forget it. It just isn't worth the stress. He's trying to get attention. Don't give it to him for negative stuff, only positive. Be consistent and he'll stop doing it.

Hugs, Didi

We told you we were leaving for bed.

He's pushing your buttons with comments like that, trying to make you jealous, so he knows you like him for sure.
Well, if I say something like that to him, he will just say "o okay, well have fun" or "good luck with that" things like that. And if I'm really being serious about something then later he will get mad. But because he acts like things are no big deal to him and he don't care, does that make it true? Because the look in his eyes or something, or the feeling I get from him is like "please tell me you are joking" Or "i know your just joking" but he just won't show it.
I hope this wasn't to confusing, what I just said... its what would happen if I said something to him that he didn't like

I would give you a greeenie but I cant... anyway, I really think that I will try to do that and it makes sense

Did you all forget about me? :(

Did you all forget about me? :(

No. :)

i would give you a greeenie but i cant... anyways, i really think that i will try to do that and it makes sense

I am glad that you are going to act in a positive way on some advice that you have been given! :)

Do you have homework due tomorrow that isn't finished yet?

>>Edit<< I have to go run some errands and make a phone call to someone who needs help. I will be back later...

Wondergirl is online right now. I am sure that she knows that you are online, too.

I'm here. I am working on a grocery list for shopping tomorrow. Any suggestions?

Hey, kiddo! How are you doing? I see that you might take some of my advice. Great! I'm proud of you for being willing to step outside of your usual way of dealing with things and trying something new.

How was school today? Sorry I was late, but my daughter just lost her first job and she needed extra love tonight. :) What can you tell me about something positive or good today?

Hope to hear from you soon...

Hugs, Didi

Hey Wondergirl... What are you shopping for? A week, or a couple of meals? I'll tell you what I've been doing lately that's quick, easy and real tasty!

Hugs, Didi

I'll be buying some basics like bread and milk and eggs mostly. What is quick, easy, and tasty?

I cut up a boneless, skinless chicken breast and fry it on medium high heat, in a very small bit (just to coat the pan) of olive oil and garlic. You can put in a teaspoon or so of water from time to time as it cooks which helps make a nice rich sauce later. When it is nearly cooked, I turn up the heat to high, add a tablespoon of butter, a handful or two of sliced mushrooms, some green, red and yellow peppers sliced, and a clove or two of garlic. As it cooks down, it makes a wonderful sauce with the juices from the chicken. If you want to boil a small new potato in a separate pot, then add 3 or 4 sprigs of asparagus just prior to serving. I put all the veggies and chicken on the plate (looks VERY pretty), drizzle the sauce over top and sometimes I shred a wee bit of marble or cheddar cheese over the top. It's to die for!

Oh, I crush the garlic... :)

Actually... he has kind of quit. I guess something just changed me over the summer and I didn't care as much about some stuff because I knew it wasn't true... then as soon as school starts up I almost always change again and worry about everything.

Like now if he says something to try and make me mad or whatever, I usually just say "i know your lying", or "alright well i'm gonna go then" instead of before when I used to like cry about it oor whatever... but even if I do believe something, now instead of him keep going along with it and making it worse he just says " you know i'm kidding"

Its funny how I figured out his password to stuff and its almost exactly the same as mine.

It's kind of nice not being so stressed about stuff, isn't it? I take it you don't want to answer any of my questions?

That sounds really yummy! I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Sometime try Puffy Chicken -- skinless boneless chicken breasts "frosted" with a mixture of mayo, grated onion, grated Parmesan cheese, and a shake of dried parsley flakes. Line baking pan with foil for easier clean-up. Bake at 350 for half hour until browned and bubbly, then turn down oven to 200 or so while you finish up side dishes. Is good reheated (so I make a lot at one time) or cut into cubes and mixed with lettuce and your favorite salad ingredients such as boiled egg slices or cheese chunks, etc.

Even Clough could make Puffy Chicken and not fail.

I'll be buying some basics like bread and milk and eggs mostly. What is quick, easy, and tasty?

Macaroni and cheese! Works great for me! Fail safe! Unless, you might like to try one of my "experiments" in other "things!" I'm also really good at pouring beverages and boiling water! :D

I also like to wash dishes! (For real! It's kind of therapeutic.) :)

Br, I'd ignore him and just talk about something else with him. Totally skip any comments about any of that stuff. Like my mom used to say when my little brother annoyed me, Just ignore him and he will go away or switch gears to something else. She was right, and it still works on people.

Do you like to cook or bake things, Michelle?

Hmmmmmmmmmm, Clough. And how do you make mac and cheese, pray tell?

I don't have the pateince for cooking. It makes me hungry and then I can't wait for food to get done and when I'm the one cooking it, its right there in front of me, torturing me. Lol. Other than that I don't mind

Even Clough could make Puffy Chicken and not fail.

Hmmmmm... you know of Clough's cooking experiences?? Do tell! :p

Hmmmmmmmmmm, Clough. And how do you make mac and cheese, pray tell?

Pray tell? Prithee, this isn't the pyrate board now lassie! :D

Well, for one thing, I never follow the directions on the box or package. I have been doing it so long that I just "know" the amounts of macaroni that need to be with the amount of water. I like to use no less than two types of cheeses in it. Sometimes as many as five. Sometimes I add garlic, mushrooms and onions of various kinds.

I dont have the pateince for cooking. It makes me hungry and then i can't wait for food to get done and when im the one cooking it, its right there in front of me, torturing me. lol. other than that i dont mind

Hahaha! For me, when I cook big meals, like roast beef (which I call roast beast), turkey, spaghetti, lasagna, etc. I get full just smelling the food cooking for hours! By the time it's done, I have no desire to eat. Mind you, that's why I'm fat now. I spend more time on the computer and less time on good food. Sigh...

Hugs, Didi

Pray thee. This is Shakespeare time.

The box? The package? The amounts of macaroni that need to be with the amount of water?

Is your mac and cheese from scratch?--you grate the cheeses and bake the mac and cheese together in the oven so the edges get brown and crusty?

I get my report card tomorrow... I will let you know what I get on it... do far I know I have a b- in my jurnalism class, D in algebra, and whatever 77% is in psychology... I'm not sure about my other 2 classes but I'm probably failing those 2. I don't know though. I thought I would be failing psychology but I'm not

What have you been doing right that you aren't failing?

Patience is something that you practice doing. It's like anything else that is good to learn. You can do anything that is safe to do, as long as you try and also listen to the advice of others who might be trying to teach you if you are having someone try to teach you. Please remember that.

But, I do know what you mean about it making you hungry! :p Whenever I have guests over and we decide to have pizza, if I am adding extra ingredients such as cheese and/or pepperoni, I am eating those things at the same time that I am adding them to the pizza!

I like to use no less than two types of cheeses in it. Sometimes as many as five. Sometimes I add garlic, mushrooms and onions of various kinds.

Mmmmmm... cheese, garlic, mushrooms... great mixture! :) All this talk of food got to me. I just ate a bowl of homemade cheese tortellini in a ground beef, sausage, mushroom, garlic, tomato sauce. :) See... that's why I'm fat! Hahaha!

Hugs, Didi

Pray thee. This is Shakespeare time.

You might be absolutely correct there! :) ;)

What have you been doing right that you aren't failing?
I don't know. Its weird. Like I can say, wow I need to get better grades, and my grades go up but I don't change how, or if I do my work. Im like that with a lot of things. And NO it doesn't work if I try it on purpose. I can't just say " i need all A's" and it happens... it just so seems that when I don't think about it and think that I need to do something, it happens without me even trying

Didi, I forgot! I do also add various kinds of meet on occasion, also.

>>>Edit<<< Oops! I did mean "meat!!"

Br, your thinking MUST change the way you do something.

Clough, "meet"?

I get my report card tomorrow... i will let you know what i get on it... do far i know i have a b- in my jurnalism class, D in algebra, and whatever 77% is in psychology... im not sure about my other 2 classes but im probably failing those 2. idk though. I thought i would be failing psychology but im not

You passed algebra!! Woohoo! Oh, man, do I ever miss taking journalism class. You have a pretty good mark! How the heck do you think you are failing psychology then end up with a 77%?? That's a great mark when you have problems concentrating. Although, I know you have a good mind. I have seen some of your other posts on here, and you really know how to think things out and present it well when you are interested.

What are your other two classes?? I'm sure you'll do fine.

Hahaha! For me, when I cook big meals, like roast beef (which I call roast beast) Hugs, Didi

"Roast beast." I love it! :p

I like bacon in my mac & cheese. Mind you, I just plain like bacon with almost everything. :) I am a 'meet' eater - heh heh! I could live off steak and salad.

I thought I would fail it but then he told me I had a 77% and I was shocked.
Like some how, lately I haven't been trying to pay attention but I just am... and I used to drink too much pop but I was like "waters better" and then one day I drank water, and ever since I almost never drink pop. And its not like I want it but drink water instead... I don't want it and want water instead, MOST OF THE TIME

Your making me hungry and I ate like a cow today. Most days I don't eat but a small plate for dinner and that's all... today, I just wanted to feel full. And I ate do much

Another thing that you might consider practising and us helping you with in this thread Michelle, is your grammar and spelling. It would be a good place to practice that. Do you want any help with that?

Sounds like positive thinking really is good for you!

Cows eat grass! :p

Well, it's after 1 a.m. I think I will close off on this thread for tonight. It was nice chatting with you, Michelle, Wondergirl and Clough.

Night, Michelle. Can't wait to hear your other marks. Hope to hear from you earlier tomorrow night!

Hugs, Didi

She's gotten REALLY good at spelling the word "sense"! She never makes a mistake now.

Good night, Didi. Sleep well.

Actually. Its only 12:12 here

Didi lives near New York State so she's an hour ahead of us. Clough and I are the same as you, br.

Just for the record, these are I think, all of the questions that have been asked of you tonight, Michelle. You did answer some of them. That is good! You are improving! It's all about helping you! :)

Do you have homework due tomorrow that isn't finished yet?

Hey, kiddo! How are you doing?

What can you tell me about something positive or good today?

It's kind of nice not being so stressed about stuff, isn't it?

I take it you don't want to answer any of my questions?

Do you like to cook or bake things, Michelle? Answered!!!!

What have you been doing right that you aren't failing? Answered!!!!

How the heck do you think you are failing psychology then end up with a 77%?? Answered!!!!
