  I read a post the other day where someone mentioned not liking those who just whined and were obviously looking for hugs and attention.

  I realize I do this

  BUT

  it's because there are so many wonderful people here who care and understand. In all the time I've been here, I've only gotten two kind of nasty replies to my posts. On was only midly nasty, the other was from Sword Of Jah (no further explanation necessary).

  If I whine (and I do), it's because I've no where else to go. More important, it's because I feel at home here.

  Thank you everyone. I'll try to keep the moaning down.

  Rosemarie,

  I've enjoyed several of your posts. As long as you're with friends why go somewhere else? Have a great day.

  There is nothing wrong with someone needing a hug now and then. Sometimes I don't have a clue as to what to say to someone who is hurting, I'm scared of saying the wrong thing. That's when I send (((((((((((hug)))))))))

  Hey, isn't that what we are here for, to help and comfort one another?

  I gotta tell you, Sheila, when I first saw your photo, I thought "I can never feel close to this woman; she's too beautiful".

  I do feel close to you.

  I've been accused of whining as well but I find that the people who post there obstacles, issues etc become an example to others because when one person is having a bad day others can be encouraging and then roles reverse. Also I find that people who vent or *whine* are really showing others how strong they can be after all since usually they get over it, carry on and are stronger for whatever they went through. Plus reading other peoples worries sometimes puts my own into perspective!
