My apologies - again ;)

feline groovy — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 02:08:47 GMT

Just had a little visit from the local police - nice dudes, BTW. 8)

And the lead guy gave me a business card & said to call / email anytime about anything if I wish.

I'm 'in'! LOL

Reassured them that I'm OK (the Q contacted 'em via my caring 'siblings' here), that I'm just fine, and now I'm trying to reassure you guys.

I'm so sorry if I accidentally used words or phrases that alarmed any of you.

I've been at taming the latest sheet since last Sat., and then there was some of the extra sheet from my locked thread started this past Sun. (hey, my threads never get locked or poofed! can't blame the mods, though), and then there's been very little sleep & noshing due to my almost non-stop action of the last several days.

Plus I'm on the rag, so hormones & all. ;-)

Please please know that I have the utmost respect for life & living, and would never ever internationally do harm to myself.

I don't have it in me.

I know that other posters have been recipients of these unexpected cop chats, and have always felt bad because in cyberspace, even with emoticons/etc, there's simply no way to hear a poster's tone or see the expression on their face.

But yes, it's better to make sure someone's truly OK, than not.

I also empathize with worrying about others because I'm a natural 'wart.

So I've consciously tried to be extra careful as to what I say here, and online in general.

At any rate, I'm still hanging in there - I've been told for decades that I'm a "survivor" - so I guess that this too shall pass.

I hope that all of you natural worriers also try to keep that in mind, especially when you're at your most-challenged.

BTW, just when I think that humanity towards any living being seems to be gone, it's those crowdsourcing and other positive stories of coming together and helping that pop up that always restore my faith in humanKIND.

So I pray that it does for you as well, and if it doesn't, keep looking for any & all positivity that does.

It's out there, but sometimes just not as obvious as all the bad & sad news we hear.

Big bone-crushing bear hugs and extra-caring wishes to you all, and I'll be around; just not on anything related to that stupid thread I started.

Being a born introvert, I hate being any kind of focus of attention in the cyberworld or real life, so I think you other non-atttention cravers know how that feels. ;-)

'Til later, everyone... 8)

Wait, let me see if I understand all this correctly. Forum friends here were worried about you and got QVC to contact your local police to do a wellness check. Is that correct? Is so, first, I'm glad you're well and thanks for checking in. Second, I am SO absolutely impressed by the forum friends and QVC for taking action.

I have had 7 friends and family members who have attempted or committed suicide and it is.... well, there are no words.

So from the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you to both the forum members who reported their concern and to QVC who took it seriously and called for a wellness check. Actions like that save lives and I can't even begin to tell you how much that means to me.

I've been a member of a lot of forum communities over the years and I've never been more proud of any of them.

I missed what happened but always good to hear posters care about one another and that you are fine. TY Q mods as well.

I'm surprised, but I hope all is well with you.

Yes, & thanks for your good wishes.
Supremely-decent people, huh?

I agree; words seem futile.
But please accept my deepest sympathies re: your losses & their struggles, & I hope that everyone connected to them isn't suffering so much anymore.

"Just so you know", I'm currently having a luvgasm from all the groovy vibes & energy out there.

Re: My apologies again ;)

MrsSweetieBear — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 02:06:25 GMT

Tears in my heart and on my cheeks @feline groovy. Not sure if they are happy or sad ones. Probably both.

I'm relieved you are not angry or upset with us and happy you had a nice experience with some good cops. Many mahalos for writing to let us know. I'm rooting for you big time.

Re: My apologies again ;)

jaxs mom — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 02:10:27 GMT

I don't know what happened but I hope you're ok.

Re: My apologies again ;)

feline groovy — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 02:40:47 GMT

@MrsSweetieBear

You, Wonderful Mama to Kuma & Ripper, put the biggest lump in my throat that I've ever had.

OK, & tears on my cheeks as well.

And on my lap, as I have very teeny ta-ta's.

We're just big 'ole babies together, huh?

Big mahalo's back to you for your sweetie heart & kind soul, & may that love come back to you tenfold.

You've also give me & others great relief, as you're in our thoughts regardless of whether you're participating on these boards.

But I / we really miss you when you take those necessary sabbaticals. ;-)

@feline groovy I'm so happy for the kindness you received from the officers. That makes my heart swell ! Please take him (them) up on the offer any time you need some face-to-face with a caring soul. Have a good night, friend.

Feline--there are people here that are willing to help you.

How can they help you?

@feline groovy

I'm glad to know you're ok. I hope you can connect with people in your area who will be a support system for you.

Re: My apologies - again ;)

Nancy Drew — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 02:32:58 GMT

I am glad you are okay. However this is not okay IMO. QVC forums can not be in the "wellness check" business. Please do not depend on a shopping board to get help. Many public resources available. I also find it selfish to worry posters who have no way to help. My opinion only.

Re: My apologies - again ;)

NC Bandwagon — Thu, 17 Mar 2016 02:33:02 GMT

Hello, feline groovy.

I'm so sorry that people were mean to you. On the QVC forums, the Community Chat sub-forum is where most of the arguments happen. I'm kind of surprised people still start threads here, as it usually ends in a nasty argument.

Anyway, I'm glad you're all right.
