Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 , I feel you and Cat have addressed a good point. We (including myself) all need to follow etiquette better. I know I personally find myself skimming e-mails and just deleting e-mails when I notice the topic has changed off the subject line. I want to be there to support others having Still's related problems, but it is getting too hard to tell when the posts are Still's related. mellymelt wrote: I just wanted everyone to know that I ...seen more off topic emails at the group than I can read, filthy launquage (NO matter how it's typed!!) and disregard for our President Cat's suggestions for this groups ediquette than in the seven years I've been a member of this forum. Please be advised that MANY NEW MEMBERS here need laughter, help and support but many, many of our topics and conversations are best left private and labeled off topic or the topics changed as she has requested over and over!!!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hey guys, I am new, I haven't seen anything that I would find offensive. I think this is a wonderful,site for people to reflect, read or vent whatever may be bothereing them at the time with people who have had similar life experiences. I know and value that this is a great source of information to all of us with Stills as you all have a great knowledge of the great dragon we/you all live with. But please keep in mind not all people have the same values/skills/manners as everybody else and I think patience is a must, considering all that is said and done especially to new members. Some new members may not conform right away to the way things have always been done here and since I am new I have no right to judge anybody. My point is this is a great place for all of us with this dreaded conditon to go and be ourselves and escape for a little while, so I would hope you would allow people to be who they are, but I am respectful that there are rules and policies to follow, that is just life. thank you for listening, I am not sure all will agree, but that is what makes this world great...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi all just my thoughts here on this as I know I am one that dose not fallow the rules 100% but then again I never have here or any were LOL To me every thing we bring up is stills related . It all effects us in so many different ways and what works for one may not work for any one other but then again it may. I also know that both physical and emotional stress effects us or can and not always in a good way . having support and new ideas has helped me in many ways and times . Going threw my divorce was not stills related but in that it was done over my becoming ill but that was the only way . thanks to all here at the time and also some of there life experiences that were the same and not the same helped me in many way and stills dose to this day. but hey I am a redneck what do I know any way .O ya I know that almost every thing in life is stills related to my self and it can change how I feel emotionally and physically so for my how can any thing we talk about be not stills related from the meds and research to the laughter we all enjoy or the emotional support we give each other be it stated here or only in our thoughts . By the way I do not always read every thing and some times when i am over come by the numbers of e mails i just delete them. I have regretted this a few times but normally i can pick up right back in with later post . by the way you are all my family and every thing that effects my family effects me also good and bad okay off my soap box as it is time to use the soap for more then standing on as it is that time of year for my yearly bath see ya glad I got to know ya all the redneck Marty Calling an illegal alien an " undocumented immigrant " is like calling a drug dealer an " unlicensed pharmacist.
