ME!? Cool?? Little ole droopy eared me????

I thought we were friends :hug:

:You-Rock:

Newsbot is one of my friends. Can't decide if that's neat or just pathetic.

ok, I snorted when I laughed at that one.

so, where are all the cool kids? I remember in school i was NOT one of them, nor did I want to be. I usually march to my own drummer, and am happy with my own beat. :cool:

mmw - I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. :hug:

There are many times I start a thread looking for advice or a response. Those that have something to contribute will respond. I may not get a lot of responses but just knowing others are at least reading it helps. There are also times when I respond to a thread and no one else responds after I do then I feel like a thread killer.

Often I read posts but have nothing to add to the conversation so I will click on thanks. Many times there are conversations going on within threads between members and sometimes I chime in, other times I just read their posts for entertainment. :p

When someone is looking for responses to something serious, like something medically going on with them, I won't respond if I have no advice or information to share. This way it's easier for them to read the responses that can help them.

Stick around and give us a try. :hug:

I am sure you have seen my "no advice, just hugs" response. That is because I really have nothing to add, or feel that If I do add, it would only serve to inflame or upset the poster.

Sometimes I am soooo lonely! I come here hoping for attention, affection, and folks that get what I am going thru, and then I find...they are busy! my post goes hours, sometimes days with either no response, or just clicks on thanks. Many times I respond to a thread,and...it dies! I think "are you kidding?!" I pop up and everyone else goes home? then I think and say ...ok, it must just be how I am reacting to it. its VERY hard to convey emotion and intent thru a post on a message board.

I hope you stay. I hope you see that as we get to know you, and you get to know us a bit, you will see that we all have the exact same feelings you expressed. its hard to be the new guy anywhere, never mind being the sick new guy.

mrkmyword,

If you are reading, you will notice many of the responses offer apologies.

I, personally, do not feel we owe apologies - no one here has done anything wrong. All of us have MS, we also have families, social obligations, work, volunteer and many other things in our lives...good and bad.

NeuroTalk is a very welcoming community and always has been.

If you would like to be part of this community then please, participate. If you don't then I wish you all the best where ever your MS and life takes you.

Thank you Droopy Ears and AMEN!!:)

I think in our thinking moments, we all feel like thread killers. On another board there was a suicidal just DXed Newbie. We talked hours on the phone but I gave up exhausted. I was so sorry for her, but I have MS too and just so much energy. You board buddies give me stuff to think about, some company and in our virtual world everyone is tall and thin. Thanks

I like Dej- she snorts.

LOOK!!! It was me. I killed the thread.
