At times a person can find it hard to post on here,between the mods removing them,and people just being mean.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

It immediately went bad and I quickly contacted the mods to delete it.  I see so many personal posts here, but apparently mine was over the top . . . and I agree.  Maybe ok somewhere else, but not this BB.  I probably should have said "I know of someone," and lied about it being a relative.  But I'm not a good liar.

 

And you're right about the "mean."  These individuals are not my friends.

 

Anyway, it's a done deal.

Honestly do not think it mattered that you said it was a relative,they would hit back no matter what,don't understand why they do not like you.

Oh, this goes back years, goldens, many years.  They have changed some nics, but it's the same ones.  I know nothing about them, couldn't care less actually. 

 

They will talk about my post today for years.  They will throw it up to me every chance they get.

As I think you know this is just not a forum that I would ever share very much, Lilac Ford (LOL).  That's actually how I think of you now.

 

I am very sorry about your grandniece.

I'm one who thought your thread was inappropriate.

But I didn't report it.

I'm not that ambitious, I just did my little post and moved on.

I still think of myself as Ford also, Tansy.  I don't know why I thought I had to change it when they changed the BB.  Just use LilacTree as an "address."  I am still "Ford," LOL.

 

You and others that I would mention, but not without their permission, have always known the dynamic of this BB.  I've never seen you get in any kind of "issue" with someone about something you posted.  You are respected and admired for your fairness, restraint, intellect, and ability to discuss almost any matter.  When you disagree, you don't make it mean. 

 

I, on the other hand, am all over the place emotionally.  I get "caught up" too easily and that's when I reveal too much personally, or say things that annoy others (not meaning to be mean . . . I don't think I'm ever mean).  At this age, I'm probably not going to ever change, so those of you who realize how I am, just seem to tolerate it . . . and I KNOW that. 

 

This Sunday I had family down and we were outside on the patio enjoying the beautiful weather, and I blurted out something silly . . . and one of my daughters said, "she's old and eccentric, just ignore it."  Another one said "she's earned it."  Everyone laughed lovingly.  I can't ask for more than that, right?

I'm the one who asked for it to be deleted.  I knew it was inappropriate the minute I posted it.  I get that way sometimes . . . say too much too soon.  I just knew it could go nowhere but down.

Uh-oh, Lilac Ford, you may have set me up here.  I definitely have my detractors😏 

 

You are not a mean poster at all, just not a cautious one.  I just want you to protect yourself here.
