Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I also get far more sensible and open-minded answers.
Sometimes responses to OPs are hilariously wide of the mark (it's hilarious if you've got that sort of sense of humour, anyway), sometimes they tell home truths a bit too bluntly, and sometimes when they're badly misjudged it's because the OP has neglected to mention some vital piece of information, such as that they're paraplegic or live in Baghdad.
I don't think I've ever called anyone a troll, though I have reported suspected imposters, sales reps, agitators and the occasional - oh Good Lord! - sexual deviant to the moderators. I have also received my fair share of offensive private messages, but the Delete button takes care of those so easily.
I always regret it when members fall out among themselves, but I regret it even more if it's putting people off joining in the discussions.
We try our best, well, at least two of us do anyway
My son is here for the week, and yesterday helped with Aunt Rose's ashes atop Mt. Washington. We're enjoying his company, getting rest (he's cooking and cleaning) and slowly catching up on a few things.
On my mind? There IS life after Caregiving!

Those who are left behind must not be trolls, I am guessing.
Maybe I won't mention trolls anymore, if people start to think it is them!
It has been fun.
If only we could see more special things like that, well of course we would be crying all the time, but our hearts would be smiling. :)
A happy sadness, poignant moment?
You are right, the forum does take a slightly negative turn, especially after a national holiday like Memorial Day, remembering those who died to keep us safe.
People visit graves, become reflective, and solemn.
We can all benefit by thinking some positive thoughts.
With that in mind, I am positive that I need a vacay to the beach!
We all need people like you to remind us, so thank you!

I have an idea: instead of 'Troll' why not call them 'witches' that way we can burn them at the stake, I don't know maybe in a place called Salem up in New England. That might be a good idea, original too!!

Now I am just trying to think of words Troll could stand for.
Ok head hurts, moving on.
How about sspwnb's Which stands for Scum Sucking Pigs with no Brains. I'm not sure how'd you go about pronouncing that but it works for me.
Actually pigs are kind of cute too.
How about SSLFOH's. Scum sucking Lowest Forms of Humanity. Too graphic maybe.
Okay trolls it is. :)
Ignoring the troll was no longer possible when IT attacked a poster, true to troll form, IT said to a caregiver: Learn to spell, plus some stuff.
Others had reminded the troll of forum rules, which Troll broke, kept breaking.
I could not let that stand, so I spoke up.
