General Chat

I know exactly what you mean and I have killed loads of threads in my time on here, probably will finish this one off too, lol ! :0) Joan

Haven,t read through all the replies. Think even us regulars feel invisible at times. There are a number of unthinking? threaders who are almost bad mannered about it. Perhaps two replies from Fergie and George. The reply goes to George and Fergie feels put out when a simple 'thanks Fergie' would suffice. We are a fellowship on this channel - a broad church. There are cliques on here but that will happen with any group - some are more like minded than others. A thread like this can only do good if it makes people think. Happy days

Sometimes you need to persevere....it took me a while to break in, but I kept going. Sometimes think it is all taken too seriously, and we say I am ignored when sometimes it just means...you post a joke...what can anyone say...oh good joke...you post a debate.....it is an emotive subject, some people wont answer because it hurts. its like a paper....not usually read from cover to cover....doesn't mean the bits one misses inn't of interest to another. The answer is work at your threads, be friendly, and don't get paranoid if someone misses you...it happens to us all. Oh and whinging too much puts people off I am afraid.

Sometimes, but no point in fretting about things is there? I can never think of an appropriate reply quickly enough and frequently delete before sending, so I may have meant to reply but just not had the right words or felt I would only be copying what others said. I'm hopeless at thinking of threads - too serious I suppose, but I do join in with lots of others especially if I feel 'safe' in so doing. Christine x

Sometimes Anne - but they either don't get my sense of humour, or a teed off with my inane comments - so I wholly understand.

I feel a bit like you Sally - my sense of humour tends to be very tongue in cheek and it's hard to get that across online. Also a bit mad and make daft comments - think a lot of them go over peoples head, I expect they all just think I'm a nutter? lol Can I just add that I don't always reply to some of the threads where people have personal troubles or some sad news - please believe me it's not that I'm heartless, but I never know what to say and have been guilty of saying the wrong thing or too much (do that a lot), so feel that sometimes it's better to say nothing - I do read those sort of threads and the people are in my prayers, but I just don't respond that's all. Anyway - I'm saying too much again lol Kaye x

Yes,I am ignored/invisible.I answer threads but ususally invisble even when I put threads up they usually have only 1 reply or goes down the page with no replies to it. Sue

Agree with you Kaye - my humour is mostly visual, and I love to have a laugh. Any posting I have seen of yours doesn't seem in anyway odd to me.....so keep at it. From what I can see, most people on here have the same hang-ups, and I think its to do with not actually seeing who we are 'speaking' to......so don't worry about it.... PS Is LaLa Land anything like Sallyworld (where I like to live)?

No Sally it's not - although my family would probably argue that I do spend a lot of time there! lol It's a silly name my Husband came up with - he's as mad as a hatter - it's Kaye LaLa the Witch! I honestly don't know what started it, he seemed to pluck it from nowhere, but it kinda fits - I like Witchy stuff (only good though) and the LaLa fits with my mad side. lol I think you're right - we're never sure who we're speaking too and I know I'm always conscious that I could offend, so I usually think about what I'm saying - not very off the cuff on here. I also ramble on too much - just like I'm doing now! lol Kaye x

Afternoon all .... beautiful day here in west yorkshire .... just feeling a bit lonely .... feel invisible sometimes ..... hope u have a nice day .... love patricia xxxx

Hello all again, Hello Patricia , how are you ?

Sometimes Anne, but other times I get an answer from a few peeps, and we start a bit of a thing going. I used to get quite upset at first, but I think it was because I was new and no one knew me. Will look out for you Anne amd try to keep you in my loop. :-0) Deanna X
