I have been trying and trying to deal with stuff in my personal life and just lost 2 more friends within the last 3 weeks.
I’m not looking for sympothy!!
I have CLEARLY stated here many times for almost a year that I’m not a typist and I make error when trying to type especially when typing fast or under pressure like when I’m at work and have to be careful not to get caught which could mean getting in trouble which I can’t afford to have happen.
I may read things from time to time but I’m tired of being made to feel like I have to explain myself for typing errors or like I’m being made fun of because I end up making up words or I’m so far off from correct spelling
Just don’t want you to freak out too baldy if at all if you do not see me posting much anymore
I respect your decision DM, and can understand that you will need time alone due to your losses.. But please don’t let us have been your reason for leaving 🙁 I have never noticed you making typing mistakes, and If I ever “teased” you for a mistake, I can’t remember it and I beg your forgiveness. We all make typing mistakes. I’ve probably made them before and been teased too. I mean, I can remember vaguly(sp) times when members have made mistakes and everyone laughed and teased about it, but I can’t remember for the life of me what the typing mistakes wre or who typed them! Its just one of those things that happens, we all laugh about it, and then we all forget about it within a day. I don’t think anything that was said to you was ever meant to be mean. I have probably just made some mistakes because I am typing very fast now as well!
Anyway, I do hope you come back soon and are in better spirits. I know it can take a long time to get over the loss of a friend or loved one, but I hope you will pull through ok in the end. And I hope you read this, because before you go, I want to thank you again for the emperor dragon that is sitting on my desk. I won’t ever forget your gift. I wish there was something more I could do to help.

Sorry about your friends DM, and I’m sorry that some people on here are being so petty about spelling in forums. 😥
It’s like when you’re talking to friends, you shouldn’t have to feel guarded, and always be aware of proper grammer, or whatever!
I can tell you most people would miss your unique contributions to this forum if you disappear on us! I’ve been a member for less than two weeks, and I can tell you that I really enjoy your posts, and the pictures of your AWESOME collection. I still find myself drooling over your brown and green emperors at least twice a day! I suck in spelling too, and I ain’t always proper, so you always have company in me here, so don’t take off, or I may have to come and knock on your door! 😀

Pam..it’s on the third page of the “Most You Spent on a Windstone” thread on the “community” forum.
DM, I can understand that you need some time away to deal with everything going on. I only ask that you do come back to us and post again when you feel it is a better time. I believe that most of the comments that you were referring to were in good humor and teasing and nothing was meant by it. I can only speak for myself, but I like having you here. Please reconsider your decision when things have settled down a little. We are here for you. *hugs*
OK please do not throw stones at anyone. I just think I need some personal time and have been very worried I will get in BIG trouble at work if they actually called me on the amout of time I have spent, and spend here at work
I just simply have too many things going on in my life right now to be here like I was.
On 10-21-07 I start a new 10-6:30 shift at work and that shift is so busy I most likely will not even be able to log on and read much less reply or post. If we have the nasty winter I’m hering about I will be working 12-14 hours a day up to 7 days a week so my time is going to be very limited.Pam I had a friend help me post pics of my collection (at the time) in the 1st Show your Windstone Collection on page 19. I have added most of, soon to be, all of the released Curlies and I took them LONG before my SK’s and the special Spectral Meldoy gave me for my birthday or the 4 PYO’s I now have.
I have gotten obsessed with the Forum to a point but now need to focus on other parts of my life.
I’m not upset or pissed off at anyone so PLEASE DO NOT START ANYTING LIKE THATI just need some personal time and really honestly need to get away from the temptation of Windstones to get my finances in order. I will stilil try to read adnd stay informed
I’m NOT saying I will not be back NOR am I really upset about being pointed out for my bad typing it’s usually funny. It’s everything combined all together. I’m not suspending my attachment so if anyone needs to they can PM me
I have had to force myself away from this forum at times as well. And Windstones have both of us dead broke. We need to start a Windsone addicts help group or something.

When’s the first meeting? 😀
Oh! DM i will miss you, I don’t wanna be the Mistress of the forum!! You were the first person on here to make me feel welcome, and while there have been many since, I will remember your kindness. I hope to see you back here, when things get better for you, and don’t worry about the spelling thing, my husband can’t spell worth a damn, even to write a grocery list, and I love him anyway. Blessed Be in your tough times!!!
I am sorry about your friends DM, that is terrible. I am going to assume that you are more upset about that than a little ribbing about typos… esp if its ribbing from someone who cant even spell blackmail. 🙄

It’s like when you’re talking to friends, you shouldn’t have to feel guarded, and always be aware of proper grammer, or whatever! That is really ANAL! 😡 😀I was not being ANAL or petty, DROGO, so perhaps you should know what he is referring to before you cast judgements?
Little things add up. I understand. There are weeks with me where things just build up, and then there will be that one last stupid thing that tips me over. “The straw that broke the camels back.” Like this week. My b/f card is late, his present got here broken and the seller is being a pain in the butt about it all, the stress of trying to get my b/f a good job, trying to support myself, my dad harping on me for how I sell my sculptures.. This big bunch of idiots on a forum I am on going on and on about how pet overpopulation is just a myth, and people should be able to breed dogs for any reason they want, and junk about how if pets are dying in shelters that is good because it means dogs are not going extinct, and this crud about how its the shelters’ fault they can’t find homes for the animals because they screen potential homes too hard and have all the dogs altered.. They accuse me of being an arrogant know it all when I say they are wrong.. This week has been CR@P. And this weekend to be nice I took in my b/f’s turtle, to foster it, while his house was sprayed for fleas. I took the tank outside to clean it, I grab the hose, and my mom comes up and is all like “hey, I need that, just for a sec”. I was stressed allready from the week, so I shot back “no, I need this for just a minute!”. She got mad at my tone so I yelled at her, threw everything down, and stormed off. All right in front of my b/f and sister. That little, insignificant move from my mom was the last piece of stress I could handle, it was all it took. I went to my room, locked the door, refused to open for anyone, cried, thought about death, how much I hated everything… Point is, when your already stumbling, it doesn’t take much to knock you all the way to the floor. Even if it is just a harmless jab from a forum member about some stupid typo.
EDIT: Sorry Ski, this was in reply to something in your previous post that I see now has been edited out. So, if this post from me seems out of place, that is why.
Oh, and please, can we not fight about who said what? Can we just leave and let be? Hey, I’m a bit stressed out right now too, so.. I just want to see us get along. I doubt DROGO was speaking specifically about you Ski when he mentioned being anal. He hasn’t been here long, and probably thought something had been going on that wasn’t. He probably thought the teasing was worse than it actually is.

Eh…OK…I wasn’t talking to anyone in particular, just making a general statement.
If you read my post I never mentioned anyone by name. Now that I read your response and I checked the other forums…I guess he was referring to the exchange that you guys had earlier?
Well, whatever…look I’m not being judgemental towards you…just thought if SOMEONE was pointing out misspelling/grammer mistakes…yeh I do think it’s “anal” on a forum. After all we’re not all poets on here, and not trying to write the next classic…sorry if that offends you in anyway. I went back and edited it out the “anal” portion. 😀
