Cheryl,

“If you were concerned, Patty, why not a PM asking me about it? “

Concerned? It seemed like your first senior moment -- I’d thought you’d chuckle and attach the right picture, realizing you’d clicked on some old ones. (I once posted a picture of my cat as myself!)

“Why public humiliation, as if I was crazy or something? “

Public humiliation? What on earth is humiliating? Again, to me it seemed that you’d attached the wrong pictures. Someone had to point it out.

“What's your agenda here?”

Are you okay?

“You leave KA, wipe out all your information, and then suddenly reappear”

I “wiped out” my info so I wouldn’t get one more snotty comment saying “take your bone marrow failure elsewhere,” or “quit wallowing in self-pity.” And lots of other people only post every few weeks or months, so if there’s a rule about that, please post it.

“Now you've managed to taint that wonderful memory”

I don’t think that’s possible . . . and if it is, well, I won’t elaborate.

“why not a PM?”

Because there was nothing to it, for me at least, but obviously to you there is -- wow!

“Notice that Patty did not suggest that there had been a computer glitch, only that I had "somehow" posted old pictures.”

Patty doesn’t put words into someone else's mouth, nor does she get put up to things by others (whom would this be, anyway?). As I said, I’m in bed, reading on my laptop, looking at old recipes, and saw this.

“faked . . . lying”

Where are you GETTING this from? As my mother used to say, “Thou protesteth too much.” Why would you get the idea that anyone thought this was faked, etc? Where did that come from? Interesting that that’s the first thing you thought of. And if I DID think you faked this for some odd reason, that would indicate you have some serious problems, and I certainly wouldn’t make a public mockery of you in such a time. I’ve learned what that’s like right here at KA.

You’re right -- many people don’t know the definition of support. This isn’t really a support group. It’s more of a popularity contest, very high school. To give an example of what I’m referring to (and I know when people recognize themselves they’ll delete this, since they have the “power” as they are ALL administrators or moderators -- yes, even the first one I’m listing):

1 - A certain male PMed me one night and made reference to a crude joke that had been going around the Men’s Forum about a certain woman AS Kicker -- a very crude thing to say about her personal problems.

2 - I was scolded when I made a joke a few weeks back, and Loz said “No more bashing doctors.” Where are Loz and Strutsy when you need them? Rox was griping the other day that doctors are so lazy they can’t even write 3 initials on a scrap of paper! (Rox -- we’re supposed to go along with the moderators -- they rule! Be a good girl)

3 - Pete just told us that if someone doesn’t want to try NSD then leave them alone -- but I remember a recent post (I really do read every day, Cheryl) where Pete was on the guy's case over how he couldn’t give up his spuds, but he’d live in pain.

So it’s all about who you are here, not what you have to say! Cheryl’s reply was just one more example of this. Doesn’t matter -- this is too weird to waste my time or energy on. This is my last post. No need for anyone to reply -- I certainly won’t log on and read.

Signing off,

PattyG
