I put 'funny' as breaking wind should be abolished, for sure. Especially my B-I-Ls ones. Put infront of a jury to decide whether they agree it is classed as breaking wind or not. Ha haI'm sure there will be some on here that survived the war and the blitz and rationing.
Lost fathers sons husband daughters mums homes and so on.
That's what I call insulting to the human condition.
I lost my mum to cancer when I was 20 years old that's what I call difficult to deal with.
I heard yesterday that in France they're going to make it a criminal offence to wolf whistle at another person.
Seriously it's not April fools yet.
How delicate are people becoming?
A criminal offence!
My first thought was we need a pop song with some wolf whistles in it then if anyone gets pulled up they can say I was just whistling a pop song.
Then they'll have to make all whistling illegal and make real fools of themselves.
What is the world coming too?
To make wolf whistling a criminal offence moves the world further into an Alice Through The Looking Glass scenario.
Are these people completely mad I'm thinking.
Will repeat whistlers be sent to jail.
What you in for mate .... whistling.
Oh right I'm in for breaking wind.
We are damaging the human condition.
Well I missed you and was glad to see you back here again.So I left.
I didn't say goodbye.
Why would I I know none of you people.
You didn't need an explanation and didn't miss me when I was gone.
Forums create an environment that is very special to the people on it. They can become sources of great comfort or discomfort to the participants. The tide can turn between the two very quickly.
For me personally this one is one of the best I have seen at creating a supportive environment that helps people to get through an enormous life threatening diagnosis.
There have been a few occasions when I've received slapped wrists from someone, moderator or otherwise because in my enthusiasm to be helpful I have overstepped the mark somehow. It hurts a lot when that happens, because I know in my heart I am only trying to help and sure sometimes I make mistakes, we all do. I know that when I post about success I have had its not because I want to " boast" about my success, but simply tell others - "hey this might work for you too." I am sure that when @AM1874 takes time to post, he is doing a similar thing. When written in text, no-one can see the actual feelings behind the person taking the time to post.
Words on a page cannot convey just how grateful I am that I found this place and despite the occasional waver when I have thought " what is the point" if I am going to get that type of reaction. I continue to post. I think in many ways I have to try to continue to help because the forum helped me, until outright told to go away by the admin.
@AM1874 has made the choice to some perceived negative reactions to his post, to determine his choice as to whether to continue to try to help others . It doesn't really matter whether these reactions were or weren't actually negative or the precise details. It is how he perceived them that matters to him.
I am sorry he feels that way and can only say that once the hurt he feels has died down a little, he may come to appreciate that the assistance he gives is worth the effort and the need to occasionally shrug off something that didn't quite go quite the way expected . As such when he is ready to give such assistance again, I will welcome it.
Deviating from the subject, I was also diagnosed in May. But yes as everyone says, stay in the forum, even for us newbies. I may not always post but read many often and take advise on board, gathering from everyone and making my own decisions. So thank you to you and everyone who posts.Really? Don’t let them get to you! You’re the first person who responded to my first ‘Shell Shocked’ post in May, the day I was diagnosed. Your speedy reassuring post help to dispel my anxiety very quickly and you consistently continue to do the same for many others I’m sure. You’ll be sorely missed. Please reconsider x
Me too and I reckon it has saved me so much time and effort getting it right and possibly saved my health and life.For all that, I was telling my husband that I would take advice here and trust it more than my GP!
I am still learning a lot about diabetes even though I have now got type 2 diabetes well under control and I am off all medication.
I think it would be short-sighted of me to just disappear now that I have got the crucial information to control diabetes. There is a nagging worry that the great control I have now may not last forever if my remaining beta cells die off leaving me needing insulin sometime in the future. So despite sometimes getting a bit frustrated with these forums, it is worth hanging around as the information it disseminates could make a dramatic impact on my future health.
Ha chill fam and safe fam are often used words in my boys vocabulary too!Me three! Not going until pushed. We all over react at times to perceived slights, it is easy to do this when all you have is text to go by. In the words of my youngest 'Chill Fam!'.
As to making a genuine mistake, who of us can say with all honesty that we are innocent?
