Title: I have arrived!!!!!
Post by: AnnieB on September 11, 2009, 07:16:38 AM
I just noticed I got a negative karma!!! Yippeee I think I feel like I've finally "arrived"!  I'm not sure why  ;D  There's just something more genuine when someone does the negatives instead of nices if that's the way they feel!

Thanks to whoever posted that -- I do wish there was a way of knowing which post prompted a negative so we can reflect and learn

( It wasn't the Mary's MIL card, it was already there....)

But.. I'll live, I'm in with others with some healthy karma!

Wuddn't me.  Hmmmm.... even though you might kindda like your neg, I still feel compelled to give you another plus for karma balance!  I've plussed you before.  So - another PLUS for you!

Our college forensics team coach once said "Understand you will have to spend the rest of your life unlearning what we teach you here" and I'm beginning to see what he means.  Footnotes work in my professional life, but I will check 'em here.

Thank YOU Annie B.  For everything.

Haha, no, I think I'm losing.  Since I'm not making any really controversial posts, I think somebody doesn't like me!!!  Oh well, you can't please all the people all the time.   

(I still like you, my negative voting friend!).

AnnieB, since I've been sick...yes, I've been sick EVERYONE; I still am, I've been watching the Maury Povich (sp) show.  If you think we have problems?

Oh my gosh! these people: 

"this ain't my baby"

"it is your baby"

"I slept with your husband"  "what? you slept with my husband?  We're best friends, how could you do that?" "I couldn't help myself".....(the guy is soooo ugly your skin crawls)

YOU ARE THE FATHER OF THIS CHILD!!!!!  YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER OF THIS CHILD!!

The tension is almost unbearable. :-\   

I need to get well.

Annieb....but the Daddy might or might not be the Daddy! 

Also, the sister the guy slept with could be pregnant with her sister's husband.  Wait, that's not right....the sister could be pregnant with the sister's husband's brother's baby. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I need help.

It's a minefield out there.  Only Maury knows!  I feel responsible. 

I've got to get well. I got a shot of Rosefrin today. I must get well soon. Maury is killing me.

I hope you are feeling better Chickie! :) it is a cute name. My tv has lately been PBS Sprout kids channel. I know all the cartoons, can sing all their songs. Some are still ringing in my ears annoyingly. But my daughter loves it.

Twinkle, twinkle little star ....   :-*

I just cleaned my monitor off with alcohol...it sounds like it's really sick out there! Who's Maury? (Notice I did NOT say...what's a TV! I'm quite up to date, you know...

Oh Luise!! Since I've been sick I've been glued to The Maury Povich Show. Don't watch it.  I must get hold of myself.

No one knows who anyone's Daddy is until Maury, who hold the key (DNA) tells them!!!  They're really glad sometimes and really upset, especially when Maury says, "YOU ARE THE FATHER OF YOUR CHILD!!!"

You never know till he tells them.   

I've got to get well, Luise.  My mind is going.

IMHO = "In My Humble Opinion"

Not unlike JMHO, "Just My Humble Opinion."

Ex: The Maury Povich Show can be a guilty pleasure, imho.

How many DID she have before or, did she have any?  Do you know, Just2be?
Title: Re: I have arrived!!!!!
Post by: luise.volta on September 12, 2009, 08:29:57 AM
J2B - I love that kind of prejudice!  :D

I think with the number of posts I put out that minuses are a given...but, (with few exceptions), I dislike the idea that I have stepped on any toes. Come to think of it...those few exceptions are probably where the minuses came from! ;D

This information is so good to have!  If I knew any more, I'd be using them like a professional. 

Isn't it good to have each day be a new day?  Think about it, we can start off each new day with a new attitude and new way of being each day!

We have learned so much from each other, in a kind way.... thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart.  You have been so sweet to me.   :)

chickie - I'm not sure how many she had a while back, but I got on morning a few days ago, before the hooplaw situation and someone had given her several over night but that's before all the crazy stuff hit the fan.  But then once she asserted herself then she got anywhere from 2-4.  I keep track because I wonder what someone might say to upset someone else.  Its weird but my personality I try so hard not to tick people off but I ALWAYS manage to do it somehow.  And it shows no matter how hard you try you're gonna tick off someone and I guess I just have to accept that.  Its just life! :'(

*I'm sitting here with someone at work right now that I have be careful what I say.  I base how I act on what kind of mood she's in.  She's 26, lives at home and is desperately waiting on her boyfriend of 1.5 years to purpose, not sure if he ever will though.  And to be honest when she's ticked about that then I walk on eggshells around her.  It makes me mad but I love my job and I'm not going to let her make things difficult for me.  When she's cranky I just ignore the crap out of her!
Title: Re: I have arrived!!!!!
Post by: chickiebaby on September 12, 2009, 10:54:30 AM
Oh, I see what you're talking about.  I just don't know what to say, without causing any more hoopla about that situation.  You did nothing wrong and that is all there is to it.  She is a grieving lady, though who needed to be treated with kid gloves....you tried to do that.

I am just like you in many ways, Just2be...it kills me to hurt anyone and if I've done it without intending to, it really kills me because they never understand.

It's good that you love your job...I was brought up not to take out on others what was bothering me so her behavior due to her problems is such bad manners IMHO....did you get that?  In my humble opinion?  Good thing you can just ignore her, I'd be in tears right there at my job.

Well, hey...I'm the winner. I have the most minuses!!!!! And I hope any of you who respect my work will tell me if you think I'm off-base. Nuf said...

Post by: luise.volta on September 16, 2009, 05:01:05 PM
I honestly don't watch it that closely but I think about half of my minuses are from one person. Of course they are anonymous...so all I can do is what I have always done, which is my best.
Title: Re: I have arrived!!!!!
Post by: 2chickiebaby on September 16, 2009, 05:10:32 PM
Well, Luise, you're on YouTube and I'll bet you anything that whoever put the minuses there, isn't.  ;)

 ;D ;D ;D

Well, that feature is a good barometer. And we when get a crazy, then it may not be as reliable.

I'm pretty sure that if we are liked all the time by everyone, something is off...and we're either being too careful or not offering much.

And as far as I can see, people who aren't happy here will come and go. They may even lurk...but I so what?
