Ford, I hear you. That's why no one on an anonymous board really has the right to judge anything about someone else's health history here.

Ford, I edited because this board can be brutal if you share personal information.

I'm glad you edited, SR. I am a straightforward person. I post here mostly because I feel I belong to something, a group of friends, people who I can relate to who are not my children (I cannot tell them everything, as any parent will understand).

I have been told before, time and time again, not to ever talk about personal issues here, and yet I see many, many other posters doing so every single day. I didn't think that posting about my mold situation was all that "personal," yet it has turned into a thread about my daughter and her illness. I did not plan that.

Since we are so limited in talking about current affairs, politics, religion, and other taboo subject matters, I wind up putting my current issues here, thinking they may be interesting and perhaps even help others. Sure, I can stop and just post one-liners on threads that
mean nothing other than to entertain. Nothing wrong with that, except it would not bring me here every day to talk about hosts' hairdos, nails, or vendor product advocates.

Maybe I don't belong here because superficial doesn't mean much to me. Maybe I should just stick to my journals which is tantamount to talking to oneself.

Thank you all again, for your kind responses. I will probably not post to this thread again.

For anyone still interested, I will post a separate thread on the results of the mold testing.

Ford, I hope you understand why I edited. I don't have the health to be ridiculed, so that's why I cannot post too much personal information. I did in the past and I stopped posting for awhile because I just don't fare well defending myself.

As far as superficial, unfortunately, you may be on to something. I noticed this morning fewer and fewer people post here and are gone. ${#emotions_dlg.sad}$

You've been great, SoftRaindrops. You did the right thing. Thanks again. ${#emotions_dlg.wub}$

Thanks, Ford, I would never wish to upset you. Without you here, this board would be just not the same. I am missing dooBdoo too. I think she had a fall and is recovering..

It's true that a few ruin things for everyone. It happens in the workplace and in social situations, it's the reason we now have HOAs. That it happens online shouldn't be a surprise. I agree that the fluff threads are a waste of time, at least to me. People sharing their situations does help others who may feel they are out there alone dealing with one thing after another. The mold issue can be serious and surely there are those who haven't taken it seriously and should, maybe your thread has made them realize that it can be deadly.

You also included some very derogatory commentary on your ex-son in law. That is only one thing you should be careful about when posting so freely about your ongoing affairs.

I don't understand. Can one poster edit something another poster says????? That's pretty dangerous in a different way. Someone can change or delete what another person says???

Some people don't know when to shut up. As that old saying goes" when you realize you are digging yourself into a hole, stop digging."

Total agree with Pashmina some people just can't see when to tie their fingers down. Ford I am sorry that some one had to take it upon themselves to come after you. I have been reading but did not say any thing till I see they have really upset you. Please just ignore the one who thinks their thoughts are needed here. This whole post has to do with what you and your daughter are having to live through. I have all the respect for you and your daughter and don't feel that any one has to pick on you. Please don't leave this thread over someone who should have quit when they saw their opinion was not needed or APPRECIATED. Hang in there Ford and your wonderful daughter you have a lot of us here to back you two up. I am anxious to see how this works out for you. Just wanted to add about your son inlaw if he was extending a helping hand or words of encouragement you would say so and give him his credit and thanks.

Just tuned back in..........so glad that I don't keep track of who says what. 'Anyway', it's so easy to just wish one another well. Doesn't cost a dime.

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

I like the way you think, Romary 1. You're a good 'eggie' IMO.

cater · ‎03-10-2010

It would be nice to extend a poster words of encouragement and kind thoughts when you know they are beyond being stressed out then add the fact they are not in the best of health I am here just really feeling bad for Ford. for her and her daughter the last thing they need is what they are having to deal with this situation they haven't even had time to sit down and relax from the moving from their other homes. Hold on Ford this will all work out hopefully very soon.
