        I’m piggy- backing here as I can’t see the original post.     I agree with most of what Nina said, yet understand exactly how you feel. I wish there was something I could do to help you out. Unfortunately all I can do is offer moral support. Feel free to email me or IM me any time.             ((((((((((ensoul)))))))))) Ed The Pewter Wizard http://nav.to/pewterwizard MSNedhenry69 Yahooedhenry_1999 AIMthepewterwizard ICQ 86355238 edhenry*at*sympatico.ca "Nina" wrote – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – this may start a flame and/or label me as selfish bitch and maybe I am I don’t think you’re selfish.  I think you’re depressed.  But I also think that you have expectations that are unlikely to be met.

Sure, it would be nice to get tons and tons of replies, but it’s not going to happen, and the fact of the matter is that the more substantial what you write is, the fewer responses you are likely to get.  That’s because it’s just HARD to reply to things, and it’s way easier to respond to polls and light stuff, and so that’s what happens.  You need to post for YOU, not for the response that you get, and I think it’s very hard to learn to do that.  But if you can, I think you get a much better experience here. I’ve been in the hospital twice, respite once you were only ASD-ER that called me routinely there are posts abt someone going in the hospital and/or crashing phone calls are made, cards are sent..NEVER happened with me no calls or cards and very few responses after I got out of the hosp. yes, there are a few exceptions but too damn few…you &

I’m going through a crisis now with my sisters husband dying, my ex calling every night, no money for Xmas, a screw up w/my insurance has left without any meds that means constant pain and without therapy, asthma,

"Nina" wrote        I’m piggy- backing here as I can’t see the original post. And this is the other thing that I always have to remember… posts proliferate randomly, it seems.  I never understand this, but there are posts that I never see; only the replies.  It’s not exactly a perfect technology, unfortunately.

    Exactly, I have posted and not been able to see my own post, only the responses and this is on my own server!    I agree with most of what Nina said, yet understand exactly how you feel. And rereading what I said earlier, I forgot to say that, too. I do understand how you feel about this.  It’s kind of the same way I feel about lists, which I’m never on.  I know that I shouldn’t be hurt, that it’s not a rational thing, and that it’s not intended to hurt me. But it still does, a bit.

Ed Lot of water under the bridge, lot of other stuff too Don’t get up gentlemen, I’m only passing through
