Just some thoughts.

Bullies

To use my daughter's words in the training at school. "I feel sorry for them, because they must be very unhappy" Just Think someone is so unhappy they have to try to make others feel bad in order to feel better themselves.

I want to use Maybeline's quote from "The Help". When she told Miss Hilly, another unhappy person who is only happy making others miserable. "Ain't you tired?"
I mean doesn't it take a lot of energy being unpleasant?

I know the one poster mentioned wanting some sanitorium ice tea. I wonder if the sanitorium was the only place he felt safe, and the ice tea brings him to his happy place again? The poor fella. Well just bless his heart.

Let me make you some of Minnie's pie to go with your tea sometime.

A passive aggressive response does not help anything. I know it might seem like taking the moral high ground, but it's still just a thinly veiled attack. It's just adding a different fuel to the flame.

This is why these things need to be handled immediately. And they clearly haven't been as there's some underlying tensions in this place. Sadly, there's not much to be done about it now.

A thinly veiled attack

by? possibly me?
I've always faced things head on.... family, medical, personal, etc.
If you look at old posts, you'll find that I've been called everything under the sun... publicly AND to numerous people. I've stated that I was bullied as a kid... NEVER to happen again. I've seen posts from others about me... been criticized, etc. Loyal friends share ......
I'm a big boy. I can take it. I'm also NOT stupid.I've stated numerous times that I wish no one harm. Why can't I want/expect the same?

I have wonderful friends... some are in this venue.
So, finally, if anyone has an issue with me, tell me... email me, PHONE me. You might be surprised.
But insults, ridicule, "bashing", etc will not be tolerated by me... and shouldn't be by anyone else.
So, behave like grownups, or if one (anyone) acts like a child... there are day cares all over the place.
But, I'm finished with this. I'm not going back and forth.
So, last time, if anyone has a problem with me.......... come to ME.
I'm not going to run a nice Hoover cleaner, and enjoy my friends ... the people who like me, respect me, and care about me. The rest, well.......... I can't be responsible for any of them.
Peace to all.

Just remember - if someone causes you drama - do not engage them. There is a block list. Block them, their posts disappear from the site from your view, and you never have to see anything they post.Don't bother trying to "get back" at that person to come out on top. Life is too short to do petty back and forth arguing or to keep stewing over it for years waiting for it to boil over.

John Long has the right idea - instead of contributing to petty drama, just go tinker with your favorite vacuum or run it around the entire house with to calm down - which is kind of you know...what this whole website is about! (also for some people the sound of a vacuum cleaner running is actually a calming sleep therapy - so it does work)

gottahaveahoove - I find it very interesting how you thought I was talking to/about you... I wasn't, actually. I don't know you, or what you've said in the past. But right here, it kind of looked like you were on the receiving end of the thinly (and not-so-thinly) veiled attacks in this thread. If anything, I was trying to stick up for you.

But now... I wonder. Then again, who am I to take sides in some old petty drama that didn't involve me?

Well, I DO appreciate that

It's true, several things were aimed at me. It was kind of you .
Thanks, again.
