Let Us Make It Better

I do so agree with you.We are a group of people who have a wide variety of egos,patience levels,and control of temperment.We need to pull together to get back to why we are here.I admit I get unruly at times,usually when someone tries to take a swipe at me. There should be no reason for members or moderators to be bickering on the forum.If you truely have a problem with a person,pm Mike and ask him to mediate between the two of you in private.

I'm with you, Mishele - the main reason I haven't posted much lately is because of all the drama going on. I seem to have a talent for ticking some people off, so I've just chosen to post very carefully.

I'm going to add a note about something that happened the other day between myself and my ex. He called to question an old doctor bill (approximately 10 years old) that was showing up on his credit report. This bill was something that was included in our divorce decree as being my responsibility, not his. Because of the excellent advice and information I have found on this site since I joined last year, I was able to advise him to dispute the listing on his credit report. I wouldn't have known to do that before I came here.

AMEN!! There have been so many hurt feelings lately, and it really upsets me. In order to make this place right again, it's going to take all of us. I for one am sick and tired of people leaving. We can't lose anyone else.

I agree with all of you. No one should have to be afraid to post for fear of being attacked for it. We're all here to help each other and build each other up, not tear each other apart. I am all for more unity on this forum.

I am all for unity too!!! And I am talking about people that have been here for years, months, weeks....we should all be on the same team. I care a great bit about this forum and want so much to be a part of it and I know that others do too.

I agree Sassnlucy, all have to be on the same team. I can't read through every post (lack of time), but members should stick together, not squabble amongst themselves. I've no problem with someone correcting my posts. It is a learning experience for me.

Sue,

I'm glad that you were able to give your ex advice. You made a valid point. I too have learned so much since joining this forum. I know there is a lot more that I can learn :)

UNITED WE STAND!!!! Its About Time. LOL I for one do not want to lose anybody else. There are so many people out there that need help. Think about something twenty years ago many people would not have had this choice. Internet use was not widely used then and so many people would have just satayed in the dark. I think we are all doing an excellent service old timers and new timers included. Best Wishes to All. KYSIDE38

I agree...the internet is a wonderful tool. I know that if I had not found this forum I would probably have lost my house or been on the way to losing it, along with my cars,my husband, and everything else. There are so many people out there that come here for help that don't know that they actually have rights. We all need to band together and be a team. :)

I totally agree - it seemed like right after I joined, I saw things kinda falling apart. It made me sad, because I had found someplace to learn and meet new people. I think we all have a place here, I know that I may not have experience with some things, but even to add an opinion (nicely) or perhaps some advice...I know I have looked for that in some of my posts, maybe not a specific answer but "hey what would you do?" this board is for all of us and we all need to work to keep it so..kinda like family - I mean who doesn't have some dysfuntion in their family right? lol So.... I'll start "Hello to all my new friends, let me know if I can help or just listen"

dalfire-hi! That is the kind of spirit that we need here and I think that we should all have. None of us have all the answers and shouldn't pretend to. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to! Hope to get to talk to you on the forums! It makes me sad to see things taking a turn for the worse but I think if everyone works together this can be a wonderful place to be!!

Well okie dokie...I am back....still have a little jet lag...but I completely agree. This is a fantastic place.....in just a few short weeks you can't begin to imagine what it has come to mean to me and just how very much I have been helped. Many times I have either been so desperate that I was actually in tears or at the very least on the verge of tears and you guys have come to my aid! I actually got something accomplished today through advice that I have recieved in this forum. I think we all just get a little stressed sometimes too, and, maybe for some that aren't in as bad of shape as some of us have a hard time understanding exactly how even a snappy little question is just simply the last little straw to break the camel's back...so to speak. many times when I have come for help I have just once again been chewed out and yelled at by a CA....causing me to sometimes actually over-medicate to keep from breaking down and having yet 1 more ER visit. I for one pledge from this point on to do my able best to try to understand everyone's point of view....even if it does hurt...because I know that they truly do not understand the pressure some of us are under! So let's go for it....and be happy...afterall, they can't eat us :lol:

You know what I think we all need? We need a GROUP HUG!!!! Who's with me??? I love you all. Thank you to everyone for all of your help.

I will group hug you!

Thanks!!! {{{{Leah}}}} I knew you would hug me!!

Of course I would!

As a new reader, I've just been reading tons of past topics, and I gotta say, you guys keep choking me up. Haven't seen the recent not-so-nice-behavior, but the past is beautiful... stick with it!!!

Thanks! Fortunately the not-so-nice behavior is few and far between. We really are like a family here and we really do care about each other.

Well well well I check back once again after a few months gone and you all are still fighting amongst yourselves, hmmm you all will never learn will you. And yes all you old timers are cliquish if you weren't then you would not have to seperate yourselves from others by labeling yourselves "oldtimers". I will check back in a few months and probably find all you old timers defending your food bowl still, move on people, get out of debt like you say you want to and move on, quit enabling each other.

Another negative comment to try and ruin our topic. I will give you one word to take with you,BUGGER OFF.Actually two words,but who is counting.

Yeah....this is a HAPPY thread!!!! Now scram!!

I think someone pissed in their "toastyoats" this morning. ;-)

Well aren't you supposed to use milk not piss for toastyoats...or is that cheerios?? I get them confused

I think you are right suebee!!! Leah-I guess some people are not smart enough to know the difference in milk or piss......

Well ones white and ones yellow...ones yummy and the other one not so much....

Eww!!! Ok this is getting gross....let's get back to happy things!!!! :):):)

Toastyoats, shut the hell up. You sound an awful lot like doug Danger.

fins, that is exactly who I thought that it was too. Trying to ruin our happy forum....whatever!!!

Where ever you gus go - I will follow! Jus point me in the right direction- I am directioally challenge you know! I agree with everyone!

I am glad you started this thread Mishele! This is what I have been saying- we have to be united, and our common welfare should come first-helping and supporting those who need help. I don't lable myself anything,except old!! I haven't been posting much lately either, had to get away from the drama. I will not leave hee until I feel I am no longer needed or this forum folds. I am here to help all people, new or old. If anyone ever needs help, or needs to talk, I am a PM away :D Karen

hey count me in on the group hug too!!

{{{bossy, dalfire, anyone else we haven't gotten in yet!!!}}} Hugs for everyone :) I love all you guys. This forum is the best.
