    Feeling quite hurt right now so I think I'll leave the posting for a while. I really had no idea people saw me as ungrateful.

    Your sense of entitlement is shocking. You're an adult, find your own way to the cinema. Stop whining about how horrible your mother is and perhaps do something nice with her instead. Try seeing things from her perspective for a change. It might help improve your relationship with her. And if it doesn't well you've at least tried.

    What happened to attacking the post, not the poster?

    Jane is perfectly entitled to whine about her mother if she wants to, this is the "what made made you smile/frown/mad/sad/cry" thread afterall.

    No one's forcing you to read her posts in depth, you could just skip over them if they bother you that much. No need to have a hissy fit over them.

    Jane, please don’t think of it as people ganging up on you – it’s more that people can only be so polite for so long. You appear to have no interest in becoming an independent adult and that frustrates people.

    If I could thank this a million times I would. That's exactly what it is.

    It's my first time posting here but I need somewhere to vent.

    Some guy in AH just p!ssed me off!! He is clearly a troll but it bothers me that he is referring to something I am dealing with on a minute- to- minute basis.

    I have MS, and HATE that I have to claim any benefits but this guy is referring to his "uncle" who has loads of perks. It's just not my reality and I hate to think there are people out there who think that I am sponging (and getting free cars!) on the back of my illness.

    Can we have a picture of Osky? You might have put one up before but I missed it. I love dogs! Also where did you get his name from?

    I really didn't realise. I'm sorry everyone. I'm quite upset now so I don't know when I'll post again. I thought I was entitled to post what I wanted here but obviously not. I always say I don't care what people think of me but I do and I really didn't realise that's what you all thought.

    I'm still (perhaps naively) convinced he was taking the piss of the usual "omg i hate dole scroungers" threads. I know it must be hurtful when it seems targetted at you though xx

    Guys I don't really want to get involved in a huge row, but there's no need to be so harsh on Jane. She doesn't judge anyone else's lives on here, so we shouldn't do it to her. I just think it all got a bit personal.

    Just my 2c anyway.

    Fvck me... just felt the earthquake that hit Indonesia. Am on the east coast of India and everyone in my office felt it. People ran out onto the streets in confusion wondering how bad it would get. Luckily just tremors here but still waiting on news reports of how bad Indonesia has been hit.

    Tsunami warning issued for all of the Indian Ocean... bollox! Am 60km from the coast so should be fine here but lots of people won't be. Fingers crossed the tsunami stays as a warning only and not an actuality.

    :(
    Eeek, hope you're OK.

    Going to the cinema today with my cousins girlfriend and their kids to see “The Pirates! In An Adventure with Scientists”, should be a fun, but tiring afternoon.

    Food now, mmm.

    That's fair enough, perhaps I was overly harsh. I do refute the hissy fit accusation tho, while possibly I could have been more constructive I still think there is truth in what I said.

    Going against the rant in R&R is generally not allowed. However there is a poster who has been posting repeatedly for at least a year about the same issue. He won't do anything about it. Just posts about it all the time. Despite the rules, a lot of people who sympathise have understandably become frustrated with him and told him to cop on. It doesn't mean he's not in a bad situation, it doesn't mean people don't care about his problems, and it doesn't mean he should drop off the face of the earth.
    Same thing here.
    We're all concerned for jane because a lot of us have family problems too. but when it's the same thing & she seems overly dependent on her bf and mother and doing nothing in general, yea, we get a bit frustrated. Partly on her behalf.

    I don't want jane to stop posting, we're all like a little family in here, but I hope she will take a step back and review things.

    I love day time naps. Don't get to have them as often anymore. Kinda miss them.

    I love naps... I feel like today is going to be one long nap though. I had to ring in sick to work today... and I really needed the money! I have the feeling I have the flu and it seriously sucks. The one week I get extra hours in work :(

    This is an emotions thread that others read, it's not a make me feel better thread. Some people just randomly post their good / bad / what ever feelings and others post regularly.

    My issue with some people constantly going on about the same problem is the fact they don't seem to be doing anything to fix said problem.

    As Einstein said - Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

    Hey guys,

    Just want to say that I might not be posting for a little bit. I'm going to be honest and say that I was hurt by some of what was said about me and my posts. I'll keep an eye on the thread here and there but I think me taking a break from posting might be a good idea. The atmosphere of the thread suffers because of what I post sometimes and I don't want that to be so.

    Sorry if I've upset anyone with anything I've posted.

    I'll be back soon.

    Of course you are entitled to post what you want, but maybe instead of getting hurt, take this opportunity to re-evaulate things. You don’t really think people are being nasty for the sake of it, do you? No-one wants to see you wasting your life away being unhappy and opportunities are not just going to come knocking on your door. You need to make things happen for yourself. Best of luck.

    This is what this thread used to be. Now its more of a chat thread and some people see it as like their daily blog.

    I dunno, maybe I didn't get the memo about the change. :confused:

    It's hard no to be hurt by a lot of what was said actually. I don't think people were nasty for the sake of it but I am also entitled to be hurt. I know opportunities are not going to just come knocking on my door, that's why I'm going back to college in September to give myself more options. Thanks for the reply to my post though.

    Nothing that has been said has been said with the intention to hurt you. None of us know the exact details of what goes on in your life other than what you post her but maple was trying to offering something constructive. It may have felt a bit harsh but thems the breaks.

    It and any post after it are intended to be helpful to your situation in response to the way your posts come across. No one wants you to stop posting, they want to help you.
