I miss Sonrissa so much and wish she would come back. We used to be up all night together and called ourselves the Walmart greeters lol.
Oh well, at least I am getting some sleep at night now. SOMETIMES.
haha - no harm, like i said! i know what it's like. i am still the touchiest person ever, even with four years of sobriety under my american eagle belt!
i'm serenity, and it's nice to meet you! yes, that is my name. people ask me if that's a nickname all the time. i promise, i just had hippie parents!
No worries. :)
I have also sold alot on ebay and you actually pay extra so that your listing will start and end at certain times because everyone is mostly available after 8 or so at night and if you post your listing during the day it will go off without a bid. There are certain times here on mh when the crickets are really chirping. One of them is sunday mornings.Another is friday and saturday nights and other odd hours .If someone posts during these times it is likely it could be an hour or more before anyone even sees it. It is kind of a thing of learning to work the forum.
thanks for your message and I shouldn't have replied directly to you but just replied in general. I just get so defensive of this forum as I know how many lives it has saved.
I apologize for my comment that upset you and sincerely mean that this forum can really use someone with your clean time and experience.
Now to start over, I'm Pat and it's very nice to meet you.
i understand that. four years sober or not, i still get touchy when i feel backed into a corner. i hope that makes sense. but i do see where you're coming from.
Hi all
I am going to make a post later that I hope will help more people get responses.Here is the problem,as stated above by poor pat.
When I make this post it will be seen and responded to by many and many will learn from it....but....a day or so will go by and many more posts will pile on,all by people who are desperately seeking help...and there are many new ones every day. The post will be pushed back to the 4th page by Thursday, which at that point will only be recovered by a random internet search.
If I bumped this post up frequently by posting on it often I could keep it available for viewing and responses for many days to come.There are more tricks but that is the main one. anyway I will make a post later about this.
Arguing really does no good and the people who are on here day after day know the many reasons why this happens and it is not because we arbitrarily decide not to answer someone.
