I know exactly what you mean. I've gotten in trouble only once, eons ago but I stuck around anyway. I've pretty much outlasted the players in the episode.

Someone always seems to add a sentence or thought that sounds worse than it is when a noob first posts. I never understood it but it's rarely meant to drive you away. All you need are some friends.....you have a shitload of them right here no matter what you may think. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!

There is only one piece of advice I'll give anyone here - be yourself. There is nothing else you can be, nothing else you should try to be and nothing else that will ever mean anything to be accepted as.

This is like starting a new job, you're new and it takes time to settle in, for others to get to know you and for you to get to know them. I know EXACTLY what you meant, I was new once and I remember it vividly. It took me months to feel really comfy here but - I was learning and making more friends every day, getting into conversations, getting to know people, them getting to know me. It was slow, but it was sure. I wouldn't change how I started here but that's just me.

We get to know you by your posts just as you get to know us by ours.

I think we need one of those huge big questionaire things again we all get by email - someone post one and we can all fill it in, them's fun!

In the meantime - I quite like the "me's" I'm getting to know day by day.. hope that helps!

Hi Kelly,

You have done a wonderful job articulating exactly what I was feeling. I tend to be an emotional person, acting on my feelings, sometimes before I think. Not a great quality, mind you.

Looking back, when I first posted here, I was terrified. I was so consumed with fear of facing another cycle that I was just about paralyzed. I felt like the people here wrapped their arms around me and comforted me. Then, when it was time, they gave me a swift kick to get on with my life. I was grateful for that as well. I then faced another medical scare and there they were again to encourage and support me.

All in all, this place has helped me much more than it has ever made me feeel unhappy. Two of the people that I felt that I had bonded with are now gone and that has made me sad. I'm glad to have found this place and look forward to meeting so many in Jan. I REALLY hope that you can come! I also hope that anything I have said in other posts doesn't make me unwelcome at that gathering.

For me, maybe I should get back to helping other newbies who are terrified like I was. I have learned a lot here and I know that I have the ability to help at least one person. I'm glad that you are here, Kelly. I hope that I didn't hijack your thread...It wasn't my intent!

Take care,

Jeannie

Jeannie,
I can't wait to meet you in January.
Sitting around with a bunch of clusterheads is great. Your bond will become even stronger.

It's hard to read between the lines on the internet sometimes. But, I can tell you this....you ARE a member of this family and I hate that you've felt otherwise at times.

Can't wait to hug your neck..

Much Love,
Jackie

Jeannie Ex Member	Re: Jeannie Reply #30 - Dec 5^th, 2008 at 1:42pm Well, this keeps getting worse and worse. I didn't get angry at one particular person. I certainly didn't want anyone else to feel the need to leave this place! Truly there is not one person here that I wish was not. My point was that ALL personalities are needed here. I hope you reconsider..... Jeannie

Well I don't know where that came from. Rolo, I really enjoy your posts. If you must leave, you must leave, but I have not seen any of your posts that would drive someone away.

Come back when you need to. You are part of this community and we will miss you until you come back.

She was having trouble with her original profile so I helped her out. she didn't need two profiles so I had her delete the newer one.
