to finish what I meant to say last night, before I got off rambling on another tangent.. and then got too tired:
hey guys! I just thought I would stick my nose in everybody's business and say atleast you aren't squeacky new like me! sometimes I feel very awkward to even reply to anybody because I know that everybody is probably paranoid of me and the ones that are not, I want to say thank you for your warm welcome.
Angry, you are right, when you are a newbie... you can feel very very invisible.. I know that feeling when you first join a board.. then it feels like everyone knows everyone and it takes a little while to find your place... but stick around.. cuz you will.. I agree with what Ozzie said:
Angry was just plucking up the courage to post!!!Glad ya made it and welcome aboard!!!
welcome to the board Angry!
LT, thanks for darting in and out of this thread.. keeping it light.. and balanced!!
Apa, I am only paranoid of you when you are quiet.. j/k
notperfectyet... thanks for the wb.. you are in part one of the reasons I returned.. you and a friend...
When i was a kid there was so much fighting ,screaming and hitting going on that i would make myself invisible . I would close my eyes and pretend i was not there ,in my mind i could just disapear and be in a calm quiet place where no one could reach me. Now as a growed up to face some of lifes heartaches i wish i was invisible sometimes so i could just go and be hysterical in my mind and go to the far off place i could as a kid ,but this is a growed up world and i am growed up so i face the next hurdle as visible but wishing i could be invisible again.
kls, I know what you mean.. I actually used to to that when I was married to my first husband.. when I'd hear him yelling or throwing things in the other room.. and your right, this is a 'growed up world' now.. so we can't really do it.. even if we want to..
seeit.. you are never invisbile to me.. even when you are quiet.. I know you are reading.. and there... and caring
Gretchen, I added you on IM.. looking forward to chatting.. and keep posting! if nothing else, this thread showed you that you are missed and loved..
People tend to have that selective attention thing going on too. It's funny when I encounter someone absorbed in that kind of state (usually in traffic, both in car and on foot) I don't tend to think in terms of notice me, but I mostly think "wake the hell up you moron!" lol
lol.. Mark, sometimes we really do need a 'jar' on the head.. and that "wake the hell up" reminder!
Sparkplug, I really appreciated your posts last night.. that last one put a smile on my face before I signed off.. I wish I was closer too.. (but I dont' drink coffee)
Arrow, its a long weekend too.. and I am ready!
Just wish I had someone to do something with this weekend.. hmmmmm
