I agree with the op regarding Cater and would also like to say Lindsays Grandma, that your kindness does not go unnoticed.

There are truly so many uncaring people here that just like to see their words in print. I don't care how long this has been going on or what you think about the situation, if you don't have anything nice to say, why not just ignore?

I have to say sometimes I am very surprised by what some posters have to say.

I also noticed Lindsay's Grandma's post and loved how she spoke about wearing our signs which is very insightful and generally wonderful advice.

I promised myself I would no longer participate. I do not know the truth but would hate to think the community here is being made the butt of a cruel joke.

I can't say I blame them... but, for me, if there's 1/10th of 1 percent possibility that a fellow human being is suffering emotionally, mentally or physically, well I cannot help but offer a shoulder.......it costs nothing, it doesn't hurt me.....it MAY help her or him.....and if a word from me helps, you know?... then that's a gift to me, too! .......good week ahead everyone!

Hi, again, Joey. I respect your opinion and I can tell from your past posts that you have a good heart and gentle spirit. After a time, I have a problem with things that appear to be manipulative, usually I don't respond to those threads but on occasion I do, and most posters know I'm one of the last to be harsh. As I said on the poofed thread, my hopes and prayers are that those reading who really do want help can benefit from the comments and advice that's been given over all these years.

I think all of us try to do the best we can with the knowledge and experience we have at the time ... when we know better, we try to do better. (paraphrasing Maya Angelou)

Yes, Joey H. .......... I always give folks the benefit of the doubt. At the very least, many of us can learn from one another. There's always someone we know, if not ourselves, who are in similar situations. It doesn't cost a dime to be a nice person. After all, even the professionals (docs, etc.) have to give folks the benefit of all doubt.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Hello focksie.......'re your last sentence.......I hope not, too.......but speaking for myself ONLY........since I cannot be sure, I feel I have two choices......ignore and don't respond......or offer a word or two of solace and understanding.....no cost to me......but I cannot criticize or scold others who take an opposite approach...to ME? It's Not my place to scold..... BUT that does NOT mean I judge others who take that route. But I myself, cannot do it that way........wishing everyone a happy, stress free week ahead!
