I promise not to over react to an answer that someone took the time to post. I will read it and either hate it or love it. If I hate it I will say nothing and not send a flower, if I feel I was misunderstood and did not deserve the tongue lashing I will private message you and explain how you hurt my feelings and explain my situation further so you might be able to understand where I'm coming from a little better.
When I answer a question I will make it known that due to my experience this is how I am forming my answer.
I will send only positive private messages (no one likes to open a private message and have some one yell at them for the answer they took time to write) its best not to say anything at all unless it is informative fact and not based on "you pissed me off when you said......".
I will not over react to the word "retarded" or the word "lame" as both of these words are used as adjectives to explain something that is just irritating.... definitly not being used to talk about a an actual "developmentally disabled person" : retarded-
adjective
bad, of poor quality. This is 2011, we don't even use the term retarded for people that are actually retarded anymore... Just like we don't use "Gay" as happy. So get over it.
Try real hard to answer a posters ACTUAL question without contributing a bunch of other xtras that they did not ask for. But if a person does add the xtras it's because they feel the asker needs to hear about the alternatives as maybe you hadnt "thought" of them before..... so, again, don't over react. Some questions inspire the answerer to vent THUS being therapeutic.... and I feel that is a good thing.
Anyway, bottom line is lets just be as respectful as we can, and dont bad mouth each other.
MERRY CHRISTMAS MAMA'S and now I must go get ready to go to my MIL's for Christmas.
Have a good one! Make it a good one! You can choose to hate it or you can choose to embrace. My vote is for embracing what you have.
I love it!!!!!! Every part of it, I agree I agree!!!! Especially the use of words that are not the right words!!!
Happy holidays - LOVE IT!!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas Grandma T!
Haaaa! At first I thought you were setting up some expectations for a complicated resolution...then it hit me, these are your excellent resolutions! LOVE it and will follow suit:) You are wonderful!
Merry Christmas Grandma T! This was a great post. Look forward to reading more from you in 2011.
you forgot to mention something. i propose we add, that if someone sends you a message asking for a further explanation of one of your posts in an attempt to try to understand and hear you out--that you don't respond harshly and judgmentally without really knowing much of anything outside of the opinions you formed based on very limited information. I subsequently propose that you not expect to have someone reply to your message in the same cordial manner of the original message after reading your rude reply. also, i propose that once you've had this kind of an encounter with someone, you just let it drop and move on. For example, don't go looking for their posts just because you can't fight your urge to fit in every jab that you can. If this person ignores your PUBLIC jabs for a prolonged period of time, that doesn't mean she's not seeing your posts. I further propose that we not be shocked and bewildered when this person finally calls you out publicly after repeatedly asking you privately not to waste any more of your time giving your feedback....
Couldn't have said it better myself! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Grandma T,
Now you're talking CRAZY! LOL
I love ya, Grandma T!
Your answers are always my favorite Grandma T!! Have a safe and merry Christmas!
