Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Lately, things have been hopping around here. Many new members... many posts. Problem is, Bee has a job now and she's continuing trying to help each one of us as well as manage everything ELSE going on in her life. This creates a lot of stress for her, I'm sure. I haven't been thinking about it until now, but every time I make a post, Bee has to take the time to read it and reply if necessary. Scratch that... she doesn't HAVE to... she does it out of her reserves of kindness. There are a lot of new members, and I guess part of being new is typing the same old questions we've all seen 100 times. That will probably continue and is probably impossible to stop. Bee is very patient when she sees these questions, while many of us are not and have to sit on our hands. I was the same way when I found this place... thinking I already knew a lot about candida, only to find out later I really knew very little. Still do. It would be very helpful if everyone would take 5 seconds to use the SEARCH function on the page before they post a question. There is a 95% chance (or greater) that the question has already been asked many times before. I realize it's more convenient to ask without searching... but remember, it's also more convenient to stop at Mcs than fix a pot of bone-broth stew. Also, it would be wise not to ask Bee's opinion whether or not " this " or " that " supplement is okay. Her supplement program is quite simple and there is a recommended supplement chart in the files that's easily accessible, and even says the best places to buy each one. If you are planning on taking magnesium aspartate and Bee recommends magnesium citrate, it's pretty obvious what the answer will be before you ask it. She has thought a lot about each supplement, and rarely will any of us be instrumental in changing the regimine. Another thing, I think we all need to think before we post. I went to college to learn to be a writer, and can type very fast. It's very fun for me to type on here... BUT, I need to start thinking of everyone else before I post something unrelated to candida... or even related to candida. I believe we ALL need to think before we post. One of the greatest things about Bee's site is that controversial stuff like religion and politics is not allowed. (And I LOVE the topics of religion and politics too... but just not on here!) Lately, it seems we've all been typing a lot of stuff that are sometimes unneccesary, and I think it would be great to SEARCH and think twice before each post. This isn't the place for socializing or unrelated topics. This is a place about Candida and HEALING. We could all find information and heal a lot faster without all the extra fluff. And Bee would be able to answer the questions a lot quicker and be able to enjoy her life outside of this place a little more. There are other for these unrelated topics (child- rearing, other supplements/candida programs, etc...). For my part, I'm sorry for unneccesary posts I have made. Let's all think of Bee's time and stress level instead of being selfish. We will only be helping ourselves. And lastly, if you want to thank someone or type something more personal, write to them offlist instead of making everyone else read it. That could reduce the post level even more. *Off the Soap Box* Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Dearest Doug. I could kiss you for your message below! Thank you so much for helping me. You are right, my stress level is high what with the suspension of my website, my daughter's hysterectomy, working full time, my sister's breakdown, my friend and her daughter being forced from their home by an abusive husband, etc., etc. and now on top of all that I have to move before May 1st because I can't afford the increase in rent (this tiny 1 bedroom on 3rd floor with no elevators is going for $1,000 per month). On this group 70 new members joined and there were 479 messages within the last 7 days. So anything you and other members can do to help me deal with this is needed and wanted! New members need to reading articles emailed to them, and then becoming familiar with the over 700 articles in the Files and search the message archives before asking questions. It is important to my sanity and workload! Lotsa healing hugs to you my dear friend! Bee > > Lately, things have been hopping around here. Many new members... > many posts.
