Damned if you do, and damned if you do not.  

hi sylviapet73 yes but now we so often when we give advice we are doing it in a discussion that is going to be deleted as it broke the rules about questions that are already in the questions and answers, and do you like to get told you are just bossy and obnoxious if you suggest that the best way to avoid getting your discussions deleted is to learn the rules and read the guidelines, after all this is there for all to read. I read it so am concerned why others cannot read it too. I did not have to ask older people as I had learned what not to do. i have helped but I have feelings too just like anyone else here. insult me and I will not feel like helping anyone.

hi gabs this person was so insulting, and calling me an old grandma did not help.thats a tender spot for me as I have no grandchildren and would love to have had some. So its not so wrong of me to just quit offering any help. You are right it really is not worth the hassle, I have enough on my plate right now. I have a allergic reaction to something that has my left leg all swollen and bumpy, and of all things my doctor put me on steroids which now shoots my blood sugar up to 300 which makes me feel really lousy.thanks love you too hugs.

Well Sweetie then concentrate on getting better and not idiots like those
I tell you what will cheer you up
This was taken this morning doesn't he look better from the other Day???

now thats more like my little man in the doggie suit. he does indeed
look much better wow. he looked so woebegone and washed out the other day now his eyes are sparkling and hes all alert again.great.love.

I knew this would cheer you up Sweetie
Why don't you get your Son to copy the Photo to your Computer and then set it as your Desktop then you will have your little Man in the Doggie suit say hello to you everytime you log on lol
Big Hugs

it sure did, great idea Gabs, Happy Easter, the sun is out the sky is blue and we have no Easter plans here at Gold Crest but I will worship in my heart as I always do, He hears us anyway at anyplace I am sure.

dragon54u I might have come on a little strong but I really was
trying to help. Yes I should grow a thicker skin as really its
not worth getting all upset. I imagine they will learn sooner or
later or just go on getting deleted and asking why til they just
quit. I think they do not understand they will not get a penny for
any discussions that are deleted.thanks.

hi palegemini yes I am feeling the same way,if they really do not
want to understand how not to get discussions deleted, let them
learn or quit. they have also lost any sympathy I had too.thats the way I feel
thumbs down. lol

hi jerzgirl I do believe you are right but as I did get help
to my questions when I was a newbie I kept trying to help too
but I guess they feel I am just scolding and that turns them
off. Perhaps too I am not feeling all that great physically so
who knows. Happy Easter

Don't let them get to you! You've got bigger fish to fry!

thanks jerzgirl right not worth it and I have better things
to do. ah fish since Yesterday was Good Friday I was hoping
for fish,ugh got meatloaf instead.odd too as usually they
serve fish on Friday for there are a lot of catholics here, I am not one but there are a lot, I just prefer fish over other meats at times.

I'm surprised, too, that they wouldn't at least have a vegetarian option, even if not fish for those swearing off meats on Fridays. Interesting. Were there complaints? Understandable, if so. It's not so hard to make a tuna casserole or a veggie lasagna or even mac-n-cheese in respect of the good number of people who abide by that (including those who aren't Catholic who like the idea and follow it for Lent).

hi jerzgirl yes they do have mac and cheese on other days, and for me
I can always go for mac an cheese myself. No people just give up here and go with the flow,oh we do complain on residents meeting days, but not a whole lot gets changed. Happy Easter.

hi cream97 yes I think some people can accept help and not
feel you are bossing them, while others look at your suggestions
of how to keep from losing discussions as just being mean and
criticizing so best to let those find out for themselves. I
will now only help if I am asked directly.

I don't blame you. People are so stubborn when they want to be. That is why some people have such a hard time in life because of their hard heads! If they took the time to follow effective advice, then they would not be in a bind. I am thankful that someone is helping me out and helping me from getting into serious trouble. You won't find people that care anymore, but you do. You are a blessing to others and it is a shame that they can't see it. But, I cream97, see it clearly as day.

thanks cream seems a shame that some will just keep on ignoring the
'rules and keep getting deleted, then fuss cause they did not make
'any money so they leave and tell others that mylot is a scam. sa.

They are the ones that are a scam. They are a scam because they don't want to be mature enough to handle advice from others. They get mad when someone tells them something for their own good. Of course they are not going to make any money when they don't follow the rules correctly. That is their problem not no one else's.

Happy Easter cream the suns out and the sky is blue, birds are singikng beautiful day here in southern Ca so let them worry about their earnings,if I bypass those who break the rules I will save my pennies which I do really need. he he.

hi fwidman I did do that for a long time, but this one user'
really did get to me, using that old saw about old women
blah blah, well now I cannot really help the fact that
I am elderly and I do fail to see what that had to do
with'anything butif asked in a pleasant way I will
again offer help.

I have no idea why our age or our gender has to do with anything. We are all simply users of this website and nothing more

hi fwidman I think he was looking in my profile and sought to anger and humilate me by focussing on my age and how he or she has to respect me otherwise the way he or she worded they would have gave me a poke on t he nose or something. I no longer care,over and done with, moving on so to speak. I never worry about the age of other users really.

typo -- Do not let anyone get to you, or get your goat.

hi newtalent I had not thought of that I had IE well still do really
but am using firefox mozilla as its much better I think.I know
nothing about blogging either so would have to ask for help
on that. I dont think you will get a post deleted for most
questions, as I understand it Alice said the posts that get
deleted are those that ask questions that the questions and'
answers section in the information have already answered.
this person was indeed rude and I will never ever again
have a thing to do with him or her. I will be much more choosy.

Yeah if people are rude I just Do not respond to them anymore. It is not worth the aggravation. I also know sometimes you get caught up in conversation and people take things personally at times when they should just read what is being said instead of reading into what is being said.. Take care!

hi again Yes they seemed to want to misunderstand what I was trying and just got upset with me. not worth it so am going on to other things. laugh and the world laughs with you.lol

hi ronaldinu that sounds really nice to me, here in the US so many think old people are nuts or looney tunes, sad but true. Yes I just
need to grow a thicker skin, as I do not even know this person
and him or her might well have not had the guts to say that
to my face either. thanks Happy Easter.

hi catdla1 oh thats where I got in trouble as I said, you can read, can't you and they took that as a gross insult. well sorry but I'
was confused. if the information is there and they cannnot read then how come they can read our responses, that sort of boggles mymine.he he he.

Boggles my mind too, Hatley. Sad, isn't it? I'd really like to hear more from the generation that will be in charge in just a few years. arefusing to read isn't much different than not being able to.

hi catdla1 it is so strange as I have gone back and reread a lot of
the information , and still do not see that its that hard to
read,it might take a little time but they should be glad they are'avble to read it.oh well to each his own or her own.
