Sometimes I sit back and read people's posts and wonder what their agenda is even if they have none. I speculate on why certain people respond to certain people's posts. I hate that! I hate that I don't see everything as being completely open and honest. I miss the sweet naivate of it all. I wish I could go back and erase my memory of some of the scraps I've been through. Not that I'd like to erase any of the wonderful friendships I've made but, I wish I could view everyone here with new eyes and take everything said at face value. I want to view all of you with new eyes and I'm going to try...
I've been here awhile and I've lived almost 30 years on this Earth but I am going to look at all of you as a newbie would from now on.
Interesting aztec -- it has not affected me the same way -- I went through to junior member then senior member and I am now a master member -- but I try not to get involved in the politics of this board -- try not to be too controversial -- so I still consider myself a virgin on this board
BTW how many posts does it take to be a Jedi or whatever is next -- though again -- that is not a goal --just interested
Welcome to the board. It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm Lisa. I just achieved Jedi status today...I'm a BIG hockey fan. Do you like hockey? My favorite teams are the STARS (of course) and the Wings (who else?)
Still, I'm not even talking about politics unless you are talking about social politics. This post just means I'm growing and reverting at the same tme...LOL! Can I do that?
I know what you mean, we see posts, and we see trends, and sometimes try to read between the lines, and perhaps come to wrong conclusions. I've been guilty of that. I think you're right, it's just better to take things at face value.
Lisa, LOL! I agree..Die Ducks Die! Stop making me laugh!
Expat, you are my favorite curmudgeon!
My point in starting this thread is that I want to view the people who have irritated me in the past with new eyes. I want to be open to what they say. Burying the hatchet if you will. I'm moving on and up...I think.
Me too!! Me too!! I was thinking about this very same thing (no surprise). I just wish that I could start over in so many ways. Like you, I have gained several friendships that I cherish, but seeing eveyone from a fresh new perspective would be nice as well. No grudges, no hard feelings. <sigh>
Walter, you know what I mean right? I just want to start over with some people and refresh what we've had. I don't want to hold grudges, I'm not good at it. I hate doing it! I'm a really nice person and I'm going to view everyone as the same...from now on!
