MONDAY'S RANT~

[selmaS]

"Rainy days and Mondays always get me down".....so lets rant all day Monday-


post ur rant and get it out of ur system and enjoy the rest of the week!!

[*Stormy*]

Ok it's Monday again (or almost) and we need to get a good rant going...lets get it all out so we can focus on positivity for the rest of the week ;)

Chiari is the "invisible disease" b/c no one else can really see what is going on. I get the "but you look so good" and "I know you are tired but we are all tired!" thing all the time!! Then it's a question of trying to convince them that you are worse than they think you are (which I am not likely to do) or you just give up trying to explain!! The problem is I still  need some people to understand why I just can't do this or that anymore. Like the friend that invites you to a social function and you have to call them to back out the day before b/c you know the way you are feeling you just can't do it. Yet you can hear it in their voice that they really don't understand...after all you've had the surgery right? Everything should be all better now.....

Hey guys

I think that the stars indicate just the frequency of how much your answer...not the quality...or I'm sure I'd be closer to the bottom lol... It is a little embarassing when you have the amount of time you spend of the computer staring you in the face LMAO I guess I can't deny it now!

Selma...you have every right to take time off and do other things, I hope you don't feel pressured! I guess with this disease it is more of a worry wart thing, we seem to assume the worst if you don't come on but PLEASE don't feel bad or guilty!! You are an invaluable person but you have to take care of yourself first!!
I agree you should get the recognition, however, it only took me a post or two to realize your value....ok enough of the sappy stuff lol

I hope everyone has a great day today!! If we start out Monday well..then there is hope for the rest of the week!!

HI All...I have a little time as DH had an estimate to do this AM, so I am waiting on him to take me over to my project.....

AS for the stars....look at it as a way for newbies to see who they can direct a question if, their question goes unanswered for what ever reason.....

I was aware they were adding this....and as far as I am concerned...it really doesn't mean all that much....if u know the movie  The Wizard of Oz.....ignore the little stars behind the names...lol......

I have not taken the time to really read how these are to help....and I have not heard ne comments as of yet...except for u 2...lol.....oh Carolyn had asked me...but, I will have to look into it after the party on Sat....as much as I am enjoying this project, I feel so disconnected from my family here.....

And as for who and how they determine who gives top answers...sorry, I don't know...but I will try to find out : )


Miss u guys : * (

I am with you on this, selma is someone who dose not get the recognition she deserves for all the advice and support she provides on this and other community's....

I was kinda wondering how they decide the "TOP ANSWERS", is it the quality of the answer or the amount of posts.......

Hey selma,
You are doing just fine lil sis. Yes, you are the glue here but there is a unique thing about kids. When you train them right and then things happen that cause the parent to go away for short spells.... they normally follow in the parents footsteps. Another nice thing about kids, when the parent has too much of a load they always are more than happy to step in and pick up the slack. So Lil Sis, don't allow youself to beat you up when need some time, you don't beat us up do you? Ahhh... yes it is good to hear selma on the board even if for a day though :-)

Ray, I'm with you about the stars. Frankly, I find it an insulting installation. Mostly because if there is someone who doesn't post often they find it a deterant to their posting. But at the same time I remain thankful that MedHelp sees fit to provide this forum. Of course we could do it without them, but because of them we don't have to do all that work and maintance. So whatever is whatever...

Just wondering how people feel about this star rating thing, I was looking on some of the other community's and it is causing some debate lol......
