Thanks Jim, I just said hello in a different topic.

We had a new member last week, IAmZeke, and he seems to be gone, poof! Does anyone know what happened? Did I miss something?

 

[Amish Heart]

Read the water topic he started

Yikes! I missed that, but I believe that the culture where he is very active is just like that. This is part of my greeting when he joined. It sure didn't take long to be illustrated.

I am not an active member there because there are a couple of people there who always know better than everyone else and HAVE to say so, every time. We don't have people like that here. We discuss and question each other back and forth and share ideas here with few exceptions. We are also kind to one another and if we are not, we are out. There are posts at SB that would have been gone long ago if I was an admin or moderator there, as well as the posters. There are a few people over there who truly hate one another and have to bash everything the other person says. Yuck.

Spent a few days away from forums. Got back in touch with my origin story. Felt pretty good, full of energy and peace. Got a lot done.

Then I randomly log back in and pretty much immediately I'm filled with mindless rage. I realize all reasons I used to come to forums have vanished in the last couple years. Time to stop looking for them.


Have a nice life ya'll and don't worry about me anymore.

I get this. There are other non-prepping reasons why I come back to this forum, but the original purpose has shifted. I’d probably be be a lot happier if I stayed out of some of the topics.

This is the best forum I've ever been on, I have no one on ignore, then again maybe that's because I'm getting older and more tolerant of others views even though I might not agree with them. Even if I really don't like what someone says, I try to answer in a kinder way, though I don't have a lot of patience for people unjustly jumping on others over subjects they may feel they are superior on. There are many here that are living out a daily survival mode, many that are above our abilities, we all need to keep our ears, eyes and hearts open to differing situations that others may offer, on the other hand that knowledge needs to be handed out in brotherly/sisterly love and never in a frame of I know best. Things I've done that are successful, I pass on to others, somethings may seem archaic, like using lead acid batteries for solar when lithium batteries are now the cat's meow, yeah I know L/A batteries don't last all that many years and take a lot of care, but they work for us in a time period we think we'll need them. My dad died at about 73 years, I've outlived him by 6 years, so far, thing is I'm just trying to keep things running around here so that I don't have to put in a lot of downtime for repairs, actually we have tried to buy the best products for our home so that we wouldn't have replace them so frequently. We've always tried to look for quality over low costs and even then failures show up, that's just how life is. Anyway, if I have offended anyone to the point of being responsible for them leaving this forum, please forgive me, I really believe this forum has some of the best people with great information and it would be a shame to leave over words, if someone offends you, there's always "Ignore" that will keep you from being upset by what they say.

I think it's a wonderful place, I recently got out of line because I felt a new member was talking down to people who are like family too me. I feel I should apologies for that, I'm sorry but just can't take that sort of behavior it brings out the worst in me.

There is always a prayer if you need it or a virtual hug, someone to listen when you need it! Great info! Lots of fun! It is weird caring about and waiting to hear from and about our friends we don't "see"!

Pearl, you're more than a pearl! Thank you for your kind words.

 

[dademoss]

Really only one member has caused me to to lose my gruntle. They are now excommunicated, and can no longer enjoy the privileges of this forum. Others may have bad days, we all do. Grant them Grace and move forward, i have not walked their shoes.. Maybe I learn things as I get older.

 

[Pearl]

Pearl, you're more than a pearl! Thank you for your kind words.

I appreciate everyone's kind words when I'm crying about my old dog! I appreciate the good night wishes! I appreciate looking forward to being here! Thank you all!

Wonder how @LadyLocust is doing.

Haven't heard from her since last Friday...5 days.
Hope she ain't too sick.

Jim

 

[Bacpacker]

I hadn't heard a peep, other than one message after she got sick

 

[Pearl]

I sent a PM, let's hope we hear

 

[Bacpacker]

I just texted her. She's been sick, slept a lot yesterday and no energy for anything. Hopefully she will get to feeling better this next week.

 

[Bacpacker]

Thanks Dr

THANK YOU! Hope she feels better soon! I think it is important to have someone "here" who can get in touch if we can't be here! An emergency contact!

 

[DrJenner]

Agreed! We discovered we are about a mile or so away from each other so made it easy. She has my number too if she gets in too much trouble but it sounds like she is starting to turn around thank God.

It sure is a small world.

Sentry takes jobs that don't allow him to post on the web. The last such job lasted 1 1/2 years. There is no telling how long this job will last.

[Weedygarden]

I was thinking Sentry needs his own thread--"Where's Sentry?" The legend, the man!

 

[Magus]

I miss him too.

 

[Pearl]

Where is terri9630?

 

[goshengirl]

@Pearl, I'd been thinking the same thing. But I checked and it seems she does check in here, just hasn't commented lately. I know she has a lot going on.

She is definitely missed whenever she's not around.

 

[havasu]

Terri9630 had some minor family setbacks and said she needed a few weeks to iron out her situation. I'm sure she will be back soon.

Hope all is well, thanks for the update!
