No more Discussions......

I am not going to call you anything like blind,dilly or any of those other things you said angel but I am going to agree that you are insecure and that is understandable and not an accusation! I think I know where this is coming from but I think you are being a little paranoid - just like I was in the same discussion - the same as we all get sometimes, heck this discussion has made people paranoid in case they are the ones who have upset you! Remember you have had a rough time lately and feeling low and that won't help in this type of situation! You know where I am if you need me - I will try and call you later and see how you are but for now get some rest and a few deep breaths and remember you are loved! xxx

The mood around here in general seems to be 'off'. I don't know why but lots of people seem to be in lousy moods...either they're taking things to personally, being too negative towards others, or...I don't even know how to explain it. I do hope things get better soon. I come here to have an escape from all the nastiness I have to deal with at home, I don't need to put up with it here too.

Oh dear - I find it hard to take life seriously. I always seem to find a funny side to everything, well nearly everything. Hugs and kisses to you too. oxoxox

I don't think it is you at all I think it is the weather or something because lately I have noticed comments from people seem to be a bit uummm nastier might be the word lately compared to before. I know I have been upset and sensitive lately and so I have really had to restrain myself on comments I have seen either on my discussions or on others that have just touched a nerve with me. The only thing I can think of is that the weather being odd has some people acting a bit odd. I am sure this will pass so please do not leave.

Oh Gabs - this is terrible to read. I just can't understand anyone behaving to you in such a way. I do know that I myself can be sarcastic, and if I have come across that way to you then my sincerest apologies. 40 lashes with a wet noodle for sparks! I think sweetheart that you need a break. You have a lot on your plate right now and you are going to wear yourself out completely. Give people time to miss you and Gissi - oh no! Gissi! I'm really going to miss Gissi! We'll miss you both, you know that right? What else can I say - you are hurting, which means I'm hurting, and I wish I could make it all better, but I can't. So you do what you need to do and I'll be here, email, phone, whatever you need, whenever you need. Much much love Gabs. Hugs Gissi for me too.

You aren't boring, not at all. And I love hearing from Gissi too!

I love to read your posts pal , I think most people do too , Don't go xxx

Unless you have taken that horrific slippery slope into the oblivion that's called depression it's very hard for someone who hasn't experienced depression or suffer from depression to really be empathetic, to them you are feeling sorry for yourself and you'll snap out of it, but what they don't realize is that people who are depressed are on rollercoasters and unlike the atypical rollercoaster at the fair, where you can get off after you've been on it, with depression you haven't a hope in hell of getting off. I refuse to talk to my father about my depression because he just says you'll get over it, that's the stereotypical response you get, I don't even tell him I see a therapist, I know it's sad but for someone who just doesn't understand depression and has never gone through it they just simply don't understand it's trying to teach them a different language. I know what you are going through and true friends will understand and one day you can be full of beans and the next two days you can't even summon up the effort or courage to get out of bed. It strikes without warning and it only takes one thing to trigger it and whack you're back on that damn rollercoaster. Sometimes you just want to withdraw and escape any human contact and sometimes you need support, love and hugs and in a way Mylot is therapy and when you feel that you are being patted on the head and hear the words you'll be ok and it's just a bad day you just want to scream. xxx

What happened?? OMG things are just getting out of control around here damn it! Are you saying that ppl are giving you a hard time in your threads..ppl that you've been friends with here at Mylot?

Dear Gabs and Gissi, I don't know what has happened as of late. I have been resting my foot after corrective surgery. And I have also been spending a great deal of time at another site. You know which one. LOL I have missed you and your stories. I dropped in today to check on you and I find that you are feeling a bit down. So sorry my friend. Please know that you are in my prayers and thoughts. Tomorrow is another day and it will be better. ((hugs))

I hope I haven't upset you Gabs as I've been moody lately and know that my responses have not been as nice as they usually are. I had a busy weekend and was very exhausted yesterday and know that I may have come across moody in my responses. I am way behind in answering my friends discussions because I was not online in the weekend so slowly trying to catch up. Keep posting my friend HUGS!

Gabs sweetie, if you let them get to you, they're winning. Don't let them get to you!! You're such a sweet person and don't deserve this kind of treatment but ignore them for they're the one's who are doing the wrong, not you. Don't even acknowledge them because when you do, they're winning because they know they're getting under your skin. Don't say a word about them and eventually they'll go away. Please don't change your discussions because so many of us enjoy them!! Be yourself regardless of the trolls that bother you. Don't let them bother you, ignore them!

gabs please do not give up most of us love you to pieces. I am crying while I am typing as you and gissi mean everything to me. there are some unkind people here and they must be really sick, but do not let them hurt you.you are one very sweet,very compassionate person and you right now have 'a lot of stress in your life.But do not leave, you have a whole lot of wonderful people who know what a wonderful person you are and we don't want you to let those mean people get to you at all. WE need you here as there are only just so many people like you and we are so glad to have you as our friend. take care gabs and don't let the trolls wind please.many hugs to you and Gissi

Hi Gabs, as I read the responds I see that you are someone who is well-like. I am Kerry and I am new. I have responds to a discussion and was insulted. I was very upset. But you know Gabs when you are an ANGEL no one can take that away from you. Continue to be that ANGEL you are. God know why he makes you join it was not for the backbiters but for the ones like me who need inspiration in his/her life. Continue to do the best you can. Kerry

Sorry to hear this gabs. I know you've had a lot to put up with this year and even someone who was fit and healthy would not have been able to stay happy through the problems you've experienced. The last thing you need at the minute is online friends upsetting you. Take care and look after yourself.

If you take a break perhaps people will find someone else to pick on, or something more worthy to do. We will miss you. I hope you get some sunshine, and some rest. I do not start very many discussions, so I am not much of a target. I hope your load lightens soon, Gabs. I know what it is like to be in a downer. ((Hugs)) for you and Gissi.

I realise that you are referring to me. I think we have resolved this problem in your comment to my discussion. Once again I want to say I am sorry if your feeling got hurt that was not my intentions and it was just an observation of the recent amount of newbies who use rather flowery endearments. After being friends with you for so long I am used to your prose in your postings and I have ALWAYS accepted the fact that is just your way. Your posting are funny, sad, true to life and most of all they are open enough so I believe I know that you are sincere in your written word. I personally think you should be writing childrens books on the world as Gissi sees it. I know I do not always respond to "Gissi's" postings but I enjoy every one of them!

Hi gabs, I just want to say here, that you aren't becoming boring ... quite the contrary. I look forward to your discussions, and try to do my best in responding to as many as I can. I can't understand why people are behaving like this, as it just doesn't make sense to me. myLot should be a place where we can come, and receive encouragement from the good friends that we've made. I'm glad to hear that you're not going to leave, as that would be just so wrong. I am hoping too, that we'll get a chance to 'talk' one of these times, when we can get our schedules to coordinate. Please take care of yourself, and I hope you'll be back 'in full' very soon. Big hugs to you.

Hello Gabs!:-) I am sorry that you have to feel this way and that some people are being sarcastic to you. You do not deserve that, of that I am sure. Your discussions are not boring at all. Sometimes, I, too, do not respond to them but not because they are boring, just because I don't know how to. Still, I read and rate almost all of your discussions, with every comment made by others and you in the discussion, just to get updates about you, your health, Gissi and your children. Do not let anyone discourage you, my friend. I wouldn't call you any of those names and would appreciate others calling you those names. You are certainly not blind but perhaps little more sensitive which is quite natural. I hope that you feel better and keep us updated. I have and continue to read your discussions even though I may not respond.

For heavens sake in no way are you boring! I absolutely love your discussions--ALL of them and particularly your Gissi ones--you are a bright shining light in this community and a dear friend to so many of us. As for the idiots that are being sarcastic to you or making nasty comments in your discussions...don't let them get to you...don't let the b*stards win...They're NOT worth it
