Yep, charity SHOULD start at home. If we take care of our own first we
will be better equipt to handle anything else. More people might be a
bit more patriotic if some of the media could report some good news for
a change. For each child who becomes ill or dies, hundreds are saved.
Where are those stores these days?

Verb

Hello Group Users (uh, members),

I have seen quite a few folks saying that they are having no luck in
meeting someone here for more than friends. It seems that just trying
out the dating portion of any site makes folks a bit leery about jumping
right into meeting someone. I can agree with that as it can be a scary
and BIG world out there these days.

When beginning to come back to a site like this one and wanting to meet
people, there is one piece of advice to bear in mind.

Post, post, post. Someone will see your posts, look at your pic and
profile, read what you have to say and come to some conclusion as to
whether...

1 - They either like you or not.
2 - They think you are smart or dumb.
3 - They have some respect for you or think you are nosy.
4 - They would like to be your friend, or NOT.
5 - They would like to connect with you on another level.

Visibility is what it is all about.

BE VISIBLE. Make sure you put your best foot forward but do not deceive.
Be yourself and your sense of humor, your sage advice, your poking your
nose in (some good places and some bad places) can be helpful too.

Think about what you write and how it will look to others but do not be
shy. Your words are what will draw folks to you or send them away
shaking their heads with "what was she/he THINKING?" So do be kind and
gentle but BE YOURSELF.

Don't be intrusive but do be inclusive.

That is my best old lady advice and instead of typing it out in a
gazillion threads, I thought I would just POST the darn words here
before my fingers go numb...

Have a great day all,

Verb

By now, I would guess all this stuff has left the grocery store shelves
though. Huh, you think? Probably NOT! lol.

Thanks FedMan for the full report. I did make note of this before when
it was posted but um... forgot already! I will put a sticky not on the
pantry wall this time... sheesh...

Verb

I had it last year for a short time, only a day or two. TSR's tend to
slow my system down so got rid of it. I don't know why I intalled it in
the first place! lol.

I work online a lot so am here more than the usual online person. Lots
of research and such. I decided to get rid of it for the very reasons
it was discovered to have a vulnerability. I wish the new ie did not
have that little box in my tray too. Have been trying to figure out how
to get rid of the search box.

Anyone have a clue on that one? When I am designing I usually turn off
ie and make it inaccessable to outside communication but it is starting
to be a hassle to do that everyday or two. lol.


Verb

Oldsage,

The pinky swear is where two girls wrap their little finger around each
others and pull a little.

It is like a handshake for young girls.

lol.



Verb

Welcome sugarbear,

What a cute screen-name! Good for you for having a nice one. It shows a
willingness to be kind when looking for a new friends.

Verb

Big Hello back at 'cha and WELCOME!

Verb

Oops!

Crapola, I forgot the WELCOME! yeesh.

Verb

Hello dwhite,

Yep, sounds great to me.

Verb

Welcome and good luck. There are some nice folks here, maybe the one you
seek too. Wander around, there are plenty of place to visit and meet.

Verb

Hello Cece,

Welcome. This is a nice place to be and hang out a bit. Sin city huh?
I know some folks from there and some that are still there. It is a
regular city around all the glitz, I hear! lol. My little town has no
glitz to compare so count yourself lucky.



Verb

Hello SleekGeek,

Good to see more women here my age! This is a great place to hang out
for however long you want too. 2 minutes or 20. I have to jump in,
out, in, out as I work and if I added all the 2's and 20's up I bet I
would be surprised how much time I spend here. lol. It happens that way
many days.

Welcome, and have a great time!

Verb

Hello kw. Wow, there are three of us in a row who are caregivers. It can
be quite trying at times. I bet there are a lot more who just do not
talk about it. Me too, I'm here if you wanna chat or email.

Have a great and glorious day!



Verb

There is nothing funnier than a "clean" joke!



Verb

Perfect! Where can I find this guy? I need that service in the worst
way! lol.



Verb

Good decision. When you have those days, we will all be here to
listen... post away.



Verb

Thanks Mike, VC and everyone for the feedback. I wasn't worried but did
"wonder."

It is nice to know someone is truly watching and paying attention to
abusive behavior.



Verb

I have an account there but do not go there anymore. I got the
Quicktime virus from there, several other bugs and attackers hitting
ports on my computer. TOO many hackers, bugbaggers, weirdos and creepos
for my taste.

I would not waste my time there and don't anymore.

Verb

OOps - I meant to say the big stores DO NOT ALLOW you to carry. sheesh.
