Ski, I think maybe that’s a little tough, considering what DM has been going through. 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.
You’re right, Pam.
DM could have just asked me to stop if it really bugged him. I just felt DROGO was out of line. Ah! We are both editing at the same time. Sometimes I type what I feel and then reread and see that it was either innapropriate, not nice, or just barfing into the keyboard and I rethink and retype.
September 24, 2007 at 8:27 am #619739I don’t understand why u think I was out of line. I was making a GENERAL statement. When I made it I didn’t even know that DM was talking about you ski. What I understood was that someone was pointing out typos/grammer errors on the forum, and it was upsetting him.
Look sorry if whatever I posted made you upset…that was not my intention…I was just empathizing with DM…
September 24, 2007 at 8:28 am #619740Maybe he didn’t ask anyone to stop because at the time, it didn’t seem as big a deal.. I guess if I was in that situation, I wouldn’t have said anything, for fear of making people think I was over-reacting or for fear of starting a fight. Like now(-ish). It’s just one of those little things that even though it bothers you, you keep silent because you know its a little thing, at least to everyone else, and they might think you odd for saying something. So you just stay quiet and hope it goes away. But it doesn’t and before you know it, you’ve snapped over it! I don’t know if that makes any sense or not..

I really think its everything together, like you said, that just got to him and then the ribbing was the “straw.” Either way, I am sorry DM, if my teasing is what upset you. I hope you know I was just trying to distract you from Olympias Sun Dragon and not trying to be catty.

This is a discussion…not a fight…a fight is when a 300lb guy is sitting on my chest and punching me in the face…something that’s gonna happen in a couple of hours…
September 24, 2007 at 8:50 am #619743Lol Drogo…
Anyway, I just read the thread you all were talking about. See, I didn’t even know that that had happened! Seriously though, it was just harmless fun, and I think on a normal day it would not have bothered DM so much. But things were not normal, things went from bad to worse under our very noses and we had no way to see it, and now we have this. No one could have predicted it and I know no one tried to stress DM out on purpose. These things just happen. Especially over the net, where no ones faces can be seen, and no voices heard. All that we use to judge the emotions of others has been taken from us. We are deaf and mute here. We are reduced to trying to interperit the emotions of others from little white letters on a black screen and the ocasional yellow smiley. That does not tell us very much. I can be having a completely rotten day, absolutely depressed out of my mind, yet I can type here like nothing is wrong. No one sees what I am really feeling as I sit at this keyboard. Tears could be rolling down my face, but just by jotting down a little smiley face () everyone would automatically think that I was as happy as a lark at that moment. So lets all just settle down…
September 24, 2007 at 10:48 am #619744I understand how you feel DM. Sometimes we just need a break. Hopefully, you’ll be able to stop in now and then to say Hi, and let us know how things are going with you. As I’ve seen with others, even if you aren’t posting every day, you won’t be forgotten.
*hugs*September 24, 2007 at 11:19 am #619745Take care of yourself, DM. Don’t let work overpower you too much.
So sorry to hear about the loss your friends…
Hugs!

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmSeptember 24, 2007 at 12:50 pm #619746I’ll miss you, DM. However, I understand how hard it is to lose somebody close to you. My husband lost another friend last week too. Take care and I hope to see you back here soon.
September 24, 2007 at 1:00 pm #619747Sorry to hear about the loss of your friends DM.
I hope everything will get better for you soon. Please come back when you’re ready… we’ll miss you!
September 24, 2007 at 2:09 pm #619748We will all miss you Dragon Master. Sorry for the loss of your friends. Hope you will still pop by once in a while to give us news.
And for the spelling stuff, I know how you feel, had that happen to me too at onetime (can’t remember who) but it did make me feel bad. Being french and not always having a dictionary around to double check makes it hard.I always make spelling mistakes.
Anyway, take care and please give us news, we care about you. You are a great asset to this forum.September 24, 2007 at 2:14 pm #619749I’m sorry for your loss, DM. I hope you feel better soon and have time to drop in here…
September 24, 2007 at 2:42 pm #619750Damn Dragon Master. Hope you can make it back to the forum. I feal like a friend is moving.
Keep your head upSeptember 24, 2007 at 4:51 pm #619751OK I did not start this post to start people pointing fingers at anyone. With all the loss in my life. mt grandma 5-06, my mom 4-07, and so many friends, it must be a streak, and the loss of 10% of my pay since I’m losing my night shift and differential it has all just come to a head. I may need to find a part time job and that would mean I could be working up to 14 hours a day and commuting. I just don’t think I can put as much time in here right now. I wish I could get the Sun OW to go with the Green Gold SK but I do not think that will happen. I need to figure out some paperwork also to get the rest fo my mom’s money. So far it’s not making sense to me.
As was pointed out the final comment about the spelling was just the straw that broke the camels back, as they say.
I’m not worried about it and PLEASE do not throw any stones at anyone. This is a personal decision I have made due to a lot of things and NOT directed at anyone specific. I’m not saying I will not be back or I might even post from time to time but my time is going to get VERY tight, and I was getting a little obsessed with the forum for a bit thereSeptember 24, 2007 at 5:15 pm #619752I’m sorry about your friends and your financial/job stress. I hope when things settle down you will be able to post more. Good luck.
