This post made me so happy, and your really sweet, thanks so much, Nolu! I really appreciated it.
(((Hugs))) to you.
((((Hugs)))) Lauren. I'm terribly sorry your going through this.
If you ever need to talk someone my my PM box is open.
Chaz certainly isn't as busy as it use to be. Another thing, is that a lot of people who view your thread(or any other thread, for that matter) are viewed by "guests".
I-Don't think anyone here intending for you to feel this way. The thing is that you don't have many posts here,& you don't comment on others' photo threads

Being a pretty new member myself, I get it. I have felt disappointed/sad at times if no one posts on my stuff or I see other people get soooo many posts.
But honestly, for the most part I have found that this forum is very welcoming. You just have to understand that the people on this forum have formed close friendships over the years. You being new means no one has had the chance to form a relationship with you and your dogs yet. Give it time, keep posting, post on others so they see that you care about them and their dogs. It's a give and take sort of thing, and at first you might have to be the one that gives more.
With that being said, forums are not typically going to give you instant gratification like social media sites such as facebook often will. Replies tend to take longer, and if that is not for you, join some facebook groups, there are a lot of great- and not so great- groups out there, you just have to look for them.

This week sucks. Period.
The store I worked at had it's last day on wednesday. For a while they said they would keep the store and put something else in and we could all stay until next January. On wednesday - the last day at the store was open - they said, oh never mind, we're closing. Apartently though, they will put us into other stores. Which is Ok - BUT then they said they still aren't sure, maybe we will reopen. I don't know if I'm going to work this week. Needless to say WHERE. Or generally if I still have a job somewhere. My anxiety is off the charts right now. I can't deal with this much uncertianty
On top of it all, my great-grandpa is in the hospital, unresponsiv since thursday. No one has told my great-grandma (97) that he probably won't be coming home. She calls out for him at night - and she can't even go see him, because she isn't able to leave the 1st floor of their house. My grandpa is her person - her constant. It just breaks my heart.

I know being unsure about your job situation is very difficult and stressful and having family members that are in the hospital or stressed definitely does not help the situation. Sending good thoughts and vibes for you and your family!
I am not rude, I am honest and I dont sugar coat how I feel about things. Honesty and telling it like it is, and being rude are not the same thing. Just because someone finds something beautiful and I see the same thing as gross and unattractive, that doesnt make me a rude person.
At least I am not rude to new members.

*sigh* let's go back to school, children
Hon·est
***712;än***601;st/
adjective
1.
free of deceit and untruthfulness; sincere.
"I haven't been totally honest with you"
synonyms: truthful, sincere, candid, frank, open, forthright, ingenuous, straight; More
What part of LostAndConfused's post was untruthful?
I promise my opinion is not untruthful. I would know since it's my opinion
ETA: does LAC actually know that person, and you're the only one who is aware? You should probably tell her, then.

Since honesty has become the name of the game, let me try again.
Honestly, if a person has 80 posts in a year, they have not tried very hard to be part of this community. If they are getting upset because their photo thread isn't getting comments, they haven't been involved long enough to know that we all go round and round on this topic every few months. The Photo Forum doesn't get a lot of traffic. Maybe it's the lack of the Quick Reply, maybe it's because a lot of people are friends on FB, who knows. Lastly, I honestly believe that someone who makes a whiny post about how their picture thread wasn't responded to and is therefore going to leave the forum, they are just looking for attention.
Is that better?
