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.

Bravo Joe!!

JoeCanada76 · Apr 10, 2010, 04:35 PM

So sending out my love to Alty. Hugs and love through to you.

I think everybody needs to come together again on this thread.

You heard Stringer, all of our presence is important here. To share our thoughts and feelings and show that we all have life struggles but we all are strong with the support of our friends and loved ones.

Joe

Stringer · Apr 10, 2010, 05:35 PM

That is a great suggestion Joe.

Aurora_Bell · Apr 11, 2010, 11:35 AM

Wow, this is just crazy. Not sure what the heck is going on here, but it's not cool.

Alty I sure hope you come back soon. I missed you all while I was out for a few days, and when I came back it seemed everyone was fighting.

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?

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 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.

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.

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.

hheath541 · Apr 11, 2010, 01:57 PM

Can we stop being cranky? Let's just enjoy our discussion without the drama.

JoeCanada76 · Apr 11, 2010, 02:00 PM

I love that Idea Heath, it goes around in circles and is not good for anyone. (;

Well... I found nothing. I need a post # instead of a link, for some reason mine is different, but I can count up and down:)

That was on page 24 for me

Clough · Apr 11, 2010, 02:40 PM

I think that I'm one of the people with whom Alty is having an issue.

I do apologize for my actions.

Thank you!

J_9 · Apr 11, 2010, 03:00 PM

I really want to close this thread, but I'm not sure if that is the right thing to do. It appears that there are issues to be worked out and I don't know if that would happen if this thread were closed. On the other hand, could these problems get bigger if the thread were left open? I feel I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.

JudyKayTee · Apr 11, 2010, 03:03 PM

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?

I actually moved the thread before anyone even asked.

Naw! I think that the issues are only between a few people.

In my opinion, the thread should remain open, and die on it's own.

There really have been only a precious few of us who have beem parcipating on it anyway...
