    I love how every time I break out of my shell & comment about "something"...not one fricken person replies. Am I a thread killer w/o knowing it?

    I used to bump some of my own topics :flowerforyou: . In the beginning, I used to find it frustrating. But I knew it had a lot to do with my weird posting times (different time zone), so my threads slided out of sight (top 20 or so are on the first page, the rest get there only if one posts in them or else you have to search for some keywords)

    so no, it isn't just you :tongue:

    Well, most of you don't know me...or remember me. But I'm back in the game (well, not really a game, but you know what I mean) come Monday. You'll be hearing lots from me. I like to talk about anything and everything and usually have an opinion on the same. lol So like it or not, prepare for the now, unemployed SAHM with nothing else to do. lol

    Good to see you back again!!:flowerforyou:

    This is so true Dew (oooh a poet that dont know it:wink: )

    I bump my threads for days before getting answers to my questions. At Midnight you are not going to find many MFPers up and posting. It is the kind of board that rocks M-F 7-6 pm then dies for the night.

    Weekends are hit and miss. During the winter it is loaded...........summer not so much.

    make a few friends and send them PMs that is what I do. OR I jump in the middle of a rocking thread and ask a question.

    Welcome to you and feel free to friend me and send PMs I will be happy to reply!!

    I have had this happen too but people are much better here than on other boards I have been on. When I was pregnant I was on a pregnancy board and it felt like high school all over again. There were the "popular posters" and they were the only ones that got responses. I never took it personally because I decided my sparkling personality just might not translate when I type :bigsmile: Don't stop posting. :flowerforyou:

    As of 4:30 CT you had 13 posts. Maybe you had a 6 when you started this thread? You expect people to flock all over your first 6 posts?

    Hey....:flowerforyou:
    don't take it personally.....

    I don't get the thread killer thing anyway....as if from a picture on the internet someone would decide wether or not to respond to your thread....it's all a little calculating, no?

    You put in way too much time and effort figuring that out
    Be nice Maxie

    No I don't expect people to come flocking to me...I was having a bad night and was bored which is why I decided to (finally) post something. It's all good. I understand that nobody will ever be as cool as you, Maxi. Thanks for doing that little bit of math for me too. My worst subject in school. It shows how much you care. Truly.
