Sick of it!

[Tink]

Mandy, I'm sorry you feel bad!

I know it can be hard to feel you fit in sometimes. I think we all experiencce it to some degree. I hope you know you're always welcome here.

I belong to several different sites, and have to say this is the only one where there just isn't ANYONE I don't really care for. It's unique that no one is nasty or overbearing. I love that we all support each other and show genuine concern for each other.

Tink, that's so sweet of you!

Mandy, I know how you feel. It's been really slow on here lately and posts aren't getting answered very quickly. I had one that had over 11 lookers before anyone answered it. Like you, I was feeling pretty bummed about it. I know that the past few weeks while I was working I checked things out but really didn't have the energy to post any answers. We just need to post more things about what's going on in our lives and get some action going here.

Mandy, please don't leave us. I feel the same way sometimes. I'll post in a thread, and no one acknowledges my comment at all. I too feel invisible at time, but I realize that sometimes it's me, and what I posted did not peek anyone's interest. Oh well, your comments are always appreciated!! even when they are not always acknowledged.

Please stick with us. It's been slow lately. I for one have been cleaning and trying to get to the gym more, cook healthier foods & plan our vacation this year. I think we are spending 3 weeks in Europe, so I've got lots of planning to do.

Please stick with us!!!!

Girls, it?s not you guys. I?m feeling really low this week, ive been working hard, started spring cleaning the place this week.
I posted this thread on here, because I know you girls would understand.
We went away for a little break last week, thought I would come back rested, and refreshed, well it just didn?t happen. The break was nice, but somehow it just didnt do it for me.
I feel like a basketcase typing this, coz I usually am not like this at all, I just feel a bit depressed.
About my posts not being acknowledged, I don?t know why that bugged me yesterday? Yes at times I feel like a dork posting, coz people wont read it, but then I think, it?s something else that draws more interest, I admit I don?t read every post/thread, so I don?t expect others to.
But sometimes it?s just that little something inside of me, that makes me feel like I don?t belong anywhere.
I visit a Dutch forum, you would think, speaking the same language, living in the same country, it would make it easier to post, it?s a brand new forum, so we are all new, but somehow I get shy, so I don?t say what I really think? I never want to say any hurtful things, so I stay nice, but they say nasty, hurtful things to each other, that makes me wonder if internet is really for me?
It sounds pitiful, and you guys may wonder ?what is she worried about? but it bugs me, and I?m posting this here, because I know if anyone will understand what I feel, it?s you.
In real life I feel the same, on Monday my husband asked me to call a car dealer for him, I knew exactly what he wanted to know, so I phoned, they put me through to several people, not one of them was able to answer my question, but the last guy I spoke to would find out for me, and call me back later in the day, I give him my home # and I wait for he?s call.
I told the guy not to call my husband, coz he?s on the road, and busy, he doesn?t have time for this.
Next thing, my husband phones me, the guy from the car dealer had phoned him with the info! I was so angry! As if I wouldn?t understand what he was talking about, so he had to call my husband?
There?s loads of other little things like this, with friends, and family too, I wont go in detail, coz I?ll be typing for the rest of the day LOL

Ladies thanks for your replies, that means a LOT to me, you are all very nice, and a true friend over the net, thank you for being here, you are ALL special to me!

Sorry if this post looks strange, but it's because i typed it out on word before posting it, i knew it would take me longer than 5 minutes to reply with phone ringing, and stuff here.

Mandy, we don't care how strange or not strange a post looks, we're just glad you're here and know you can count on us!! We love you!!

[Marilyn]

Mandy, we definitely can relate to what you are talking about!!!! Your experience with the car dealer is a great example. We've all been there. I don't know why some men just cannot acknowledge that a woman may understand technical stuff. Some of the men know less than we do about such things. Hang in there and stick with us. We do care!!!
