The world got to me today....

Blueskies, I totally understand. I'm glad that you took a break instead of staying here and letting those posts get to you. It sounds like it was time for a well-deserved break. I've had days like that myself where i just could not do any more on here. Yesterday was one of those days. It wasn't because I saw anything offensive on the site, though. I just needed a break. I hope that you feel better now and can find some topics to reply to that will make you smile instead of feel annoyed and frustrated. I know that it's not always easy. I know there are people here who like to post things just to get attention or get others riled up, as strange as it is for me to contemplate why someone would feel the need to do something like that. Anyway, I hope that your day gets better soon!

I'm not having a great start myself...lol Last night a friend was instant messaging me on aol. It caused some kind of lock up that I could not get out of. No matter what I did with the damn computer I was terminally frozen. I couldn't even call and tell her because she has dial up and her cell was turned off and on the charger..lol I gave up after an hour and went to bed. When I got up today it was still locked up..I had no choice but to unplug the damned thing. Now it's been over an hour trying to get it fixed. It didn't load right so I had to start over and then run a scan then restart and still I seem to have lost my desktop weather...ahhhhhh So while I'm losing my mind with this my bird keeps screaming and woke up my brother who works nights. He came downstairs yelling and banging because he was p.o'd and that caused the bird to scream more and the dogs to bark.. Now I think I've got most of it under control and I go to mylot... I checked my discussions and what do I find...Some idiot response to a discussion I started a month ago..and it' just hit me wrong...I left a snide remark and here I am whining here...lol I do feel better and yes you did do the right thing..it only gets us in trouble when we succumb to the idiocy....hope you have a better day...keep your mylot blinders on ...it helps..lol

As long as I didn't bug you too much! I hope you feel happier and more able to cope with our silly and annoying posts, I play here to escape too, some days it's hard to ddo that and somedays are hard, plese be patient with us whingers, we do appreciate you and miss you when you are not here.

I think we all suffer with this and you did the right thing, walk away! Otherwise you'd only do something you'd regret. So many times I have screamed out at people in the past only to land up with egg on my face and suffer the consequences. Better to use another punch bag as it were. I use the one at the gym. Go back tomorrow and you will be in a different frame of mind! It's like anything you need 'space' away. You definitely made the right choice!

I am so sorry that you are having a bad day. I use hope that it wasnt my discussions that upset you so much. I would hate to have my head stomped on. LOL Hope you find something wonderful in your snail mail today to cheer you up. Hope your day gets better really soon. Have a wonderful day and dont let some rude person destroy it for you.

I think you made the right decision. It is never good to take your mood out on somebody else. Especially in mylot as you are likely to get negative responses and that will hurt your rating and as a result your earnings.

I have been having a hard time finding things I feel I can respond to. I have been going through my interests and posting that way on top of posting to my friends.

Here's hoping there'll be something better for you tomorrow!

Thats awful so do you know who the the spamer is? That sure can wreck a day for you. I hope you are alright and got rid of that. Let us know keep us informed please.

Not sure why you would let some of us turn you away from some earnings. Glad you could take care of household things. I do that while computing most times. I too shake my head at certain postings. I have even done a few things odd. We are all different and have our own perceptions. Can't imagine something so bad that it would turn you away. I am glad that you are back hope to see more of you around!

I think today is just a bad day. I was doing fine until I got a call (as I'm walking out the door for work) from my credit card company asking about possibly (ok, this is about a half hour later now because someone just had a crisis that I had to take care of) having a fraudulent charge on my card. Then they proceed to ask me for my codeword on the account. Um... no, I told them that they called ME, there's now way I'm giving them my code words! So I call the credit card company, they don't see any charges for the amount I was just called up about. So they check my OTHER card with them and there's nothing on that one at all. Then they ask about a different account that I didn't realize was transfered to them and then I understood. The "fraudulent" charge was something I ordered off the internet yesterday - but i thought it was more than what they said it was so it didn't even sound familiar to me at first. So, after a half hour or so - I should have been AT work by this time - we figure out that my account is ok. So, on the way to work, all of a sudden, traffic is not moving. I see a police car go by on the shoulder and think "great, I can't go anywhere now but wait for them to clean this up" After inching along for a half hour or so, all of a sudden traffic is moving, and I mean MOVING! Apparently, there was no accident, it was just someone that didn't realize that every car comes with a gas pedal!!! They must have thought it was an option and that they didn't get one or something... ARGH!!! So, I'm over an hour late for work, and the first thing I get is an e-mail from a client, his payroll (which is today) wont calcualte and I need to do it for him before noon so he can pay his staff. They got paid around 1 o'clock. It has been one crisis after another today. I needed a break so I thought I'd get some cheery news from ya'll... Well, at least I got some of that off my chest!!! It HAS GOT to get better :)

You took the right decision. With so much going on in our heads why should we make it worse by reacting to people who do not listen in the first place. It feels gooooooood to take your mind of the computer.

Hopefully you got a few things done that you wanted to do anyway. I feel like that some days on here there just aren't any posts that I feel I should justify with a response. I get disgusted and that is when I stop posting and go play with the kids or something. Which is more than likely a better use of my time anyway ;) Hope your day gets better.

I've had many of those days, which is why I haven't been around here much lately. Now I just try to stick to the discussions my "friends" start and by the time I'm done with that, I'm ready to log off or need to anyhow. It's also the reason I do not post over at our old stomping ground much any more - sometimes I just want to shout, throttle or stomp on a poster's head as well. :) My income here has gone way down but my peace of mind and sanity have seemed to improve. Off topic but I wanted to also tell you that until you reveal yourself to me - I'm going to keep thinking you are stormyskies because that is all I can think when I see your mylot screen name :) Hope tomorrow is a better day for the both of us! [[hugs]]

Oh dear Blueskies who upset you that bad And what was it all about but yes I agree with you that it was better for you to switch of then shout back.

I think you made the right choice. Though stating your thoughts isn't bad either, but you probably needed to regroup and calm down more then flying off the handle at people. hehe Are you feeling more "calm" now?

You did the right thing by getting away from the aggravation. Sometimes things just drive you to the point of screaming and clawing. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the peacefulness. I hope I didn't bug you (I don't THINK I said anything annoying...I noticed you weren't on my friends list anymore and I just hope it wasn't because of something I said.) Anyway, hope your day and evening go better than this morning hon.

what kind off stuff made you angry? what types of post set you off? can you give me a lowdown please? hope it isn't one of mine..i do post some gems sometimes..but that is to make people laugh cos after watching about sierra leone at the weekend and crying over it..i needed some light relief..

Wow! In particular which discussions aggrevated you and why? Voice your opinion I say, even if you are frustrated!

I went in search of the post you are talking about and found it. I decided that maybe I should not respondd due to what popped into my head. So, I can see why it got to you.
