I'm gonna spend some time away from this board...

[madmonkeygirl]

I'm posting this as to why i'm not on here or posting. Brad if you need information about April just PM me or let Matt know and we'll figure out about the animals situation.

For reasons i am not gonna get into on here i do not feel welcome anymore. I post responses and yes sometimes events i can not get to or make due to work. I do not have a Mon thru Fri job like everyone almost always has on here... So i work weekends. Other times it does take money and traveling etc. That i just don't have the energy or desire to spend sitting in a car trying to attempt to get down there...

I know i could organize a swanking event myself i just have LIFE to attend to outside of all this. Work and marriage and a household with daily chores and activities and animals to attend to.

I'm sorry if i am posting negative responses alot of times or making it sound old to my replies about certain events...i just thought that i would the day would never come where i was told "my responses are getting old". "that i make the same excuses".

So to those who i offended sorry. I do not want to bother anyone so...i guess some time is needed away from here for obvious reasons.

You can either email me or let Matt know if you need to speak to me....

It was fun while it lasted....another board i do not feel at home at anymore...

Have fun everyone....

Um, sorry you feel this way.

You know, we have lots of members who are out of town, and can't make events for that reason. So just because you work on weekends does not make you some sort of pariah for being unavailable for some or most of the get-togethers that happen.

Ugh, here is it January 30, and we DID NOT have a January swanking.

Bah, the swanking season is only 3 months long, and we've blown January for the first time in LoT history.


But you know what? ... Swankings and events are NOT ALL OF WHAT THE LOT IS ABOUT. It's a tiny part of the swanky message board scene we have cultivated.


I hope you're not feeling unduly left out of events that do or do not end up happening. I'm sure plenty of people who live out of town or out of state also get pangs of 'waaaaa' when they read about fun events planned or done.


Anyways, I hope you will reconsider. We'd miss you!


Take a break, if you must. Come back if you can.

I beg to differ. My honey swanked me quite well this month.

I respect your need for a break, MMG. Give lots of love to the critters and spend some time rocking out to Bon Jovi.

ISM it's not about being left out of events or not being able to go. It's about me posting that i can't go for obvious reasons. There is a person on this board. (I put on ignore now). That made it obvious to me in a comment and pm's that what i'm posting is "old and that i need to do something about it if i can't go" maybe to start one on my own...but i have no free time at all barely.

I have other obligations and responsibilities. I do not feel left out. I felt loved here on the board until today. When i was personally "attacked" yes i was...Because of this i am really wary now of everyone sorry but until i know that won't happen again...and no i did not get an "sorry" and i'm not expecting one from them either.

I will take a break but i will definitely post on here about Bon Jovi and the concerts definitely Cuz who knows what good things are in store in April.

Just brings me down and i've been crying and i do not want to post my whole story about myself on here either. Those of you who know know. Those who don't just give me time.

Those who have responded to this post i thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Please don't leave the board because of one person. Whoever they are, they do not speak for the rest of us!

[innerSpaceman]

Um, yeah, even if their position seems like they might have some Official Voice status ... there's no such fvcking thing!


Anyway, go ... heal ... get better .... i'm sorry you got your feelings hurt. That sux. But you are loved in these here parts, and we hope to see you around here again some day.

I really hope you wouldn't leave LoT over a single incident. I'm sorry it's brought you down so much, but I know a lot of us here really do like you. If we, as a whole, gave you any other impression, I'm very sorry for that.

I'm guessing from your first post that the whole thing might be a misunderstanding. Sometimes when you post that you can't go somewhere, like the thing at the Hearthstone, it reads a little like 'you can't waste your time' to come see anyone. I don't think that's what you mean at all, but it could be read that way... maybe someone was trying to send you a signal on it, in a more private way? I know that's how a lot of people use mojo comments, both positive and negative. Sometimes the shock of getting negative feedback can take away from the actual intent, so I'm hoping that's a bit of insight from my own experience.

Anyhow, I like you a lot and I hope that you stay. Maybe just take a breather and do what DP suggests, love up some critters and rock out to some Bon Jovi!

Time

You have it.

But when I come back to Disneyland in about 34 years and don't get to meet you I'm gonna be pissed.

Eliza and NirvanaMan are still on my **** list from last time. And I don't think there's any redemption for Leo.

Seriously, I'm sorry things got wonky. I hope it all works out where you can still participate and have a good time. Because even if you can't do all the meetups, the online stuff is still a lot of fun.

I suspect BE is right here. When I read your reply in the Hearthstone thread I was like ok... you have better things to do then spend time with us. Almost insulting to the organizer.

We're all busy and we make things that are important to us a priority. I know I said it before in another thread somewhere - not all of us can make everything. There are so many things on weeknights that those of us in OC can't make because of work and traffic.
