::sigh:: There are days when I really wonder what's up with people. Apparently somebody who was lurking on thursday100plus in the last couple of weeks told a member (who then told me) that she decided not to join because "the moderator doesn't seem to give a sh*t about the entries - no feedback, no nothing!"

Sorry, I haven't publicized my personal problems on t100+ because it's not the forum for my life - that's what this lj is for - but it might have been nice if she'd given me the benefit of the doubt and looked back over the last few months on t100+. I was giving people lots of feedback - I tried to find at least one positive thing to say about almost every entry, especially those that didn't get much fb from other readers. It's just that what with the hysterectomy and my mom's hospitalization from cancer and law school and the kids and life in general, no, I haven't been the ideal moderator lately.

I briefly pondered posting a little explanation/apology on t100+, but then decided it's just not worth it. Some people will simply believe the worst no matter what you do. Besides, this chick was apparently not going to hang out at my lousy feedback-less site anyway, so she probably wouldn't read it.

On that cheery note, I'm off to re-type my ****ing Property notes. And I'll try to keep in mind all the expressions of support and hugs from all of you to counterbalance the ickyness one chickie-poo who I don't even know anyway.

Thanks for the hugs and brownies :)

And thanks for giving me a bit of perspective on a rather stupid situation ;)

You have absolutely nothing to apologize for. You are one of the most generous people I know.

::hugs:: you for having to deal with wanks who don't have a clue.

LOL! Boy, I'm glad belly laughs don't hurt me any more. Cause this helped a lot. Thanks :)

Ditto what they said

My hat's off to yuo- don't know I could cope with all you've had on your plate of late

i've always considered you the queen of feedback--at least regarding your own site. perhaps she has your group mixed up with another?

Thanks :) No, I don't think so - about a mix-up, that is. I dunno, it's a silly thing to get bothered by. I guess it just hit on a day when I wasn't terribly happy in the first place, so hearing this didn't help.

In any case, thanks for you very kind words. They helped :)

Say WHAT???

Yeah, what they said. Exponentially.

Man. Some. People. Need. To. Get. A. Life. It's not like this is some kind of contest!?! This is a fun little hobby. It's not our careers, it's not our love lives, it's not our education. It's not even something some of us can *explain* to some of our other friends. What the Royal Canadian Mounted fuck are they thinking?

Anyhow. If you weren't on the other end of the continent, I would *so* be there with cookies... and a bottle of Merlot. Oh, yeah, and a certified nanny who'd take the kids for the rest of the week so you and I could (a) party and (b) you could finish your homework and generally take care of business. ::sigh::

Well, you know, they say that visualization is a powerful tool...

LOL!!

Oh, I'll have to use that expression some day :D :D :D Royal Canadian Mounted fuck. It rolls off the tongue quite trippingly.

Yeah, I visualized this. And it helped quite nicely - got myself tipsy, even. And since I'm invariably a cheerful drunk, that was a Good Thing ;)

I just ... huh. No words.

[snarkhunter.livejournal.com]

Feh. What a bitch.

SO not your job anyway. You're a great mod! I always figured your job was just to post the topics and keep wank to a minimum, which you do remarkably well. So. :)

What everyone else already said.

And *hugs* about the computer, because that sucks badly.

[minnesota-anne.livejournal.com]

Yep. Ditto what everyone else said.

Some people... yeesh.

Oh, good grief! Word to everybody's previous comments. I'd just like to add that perusing Thursday100plus is a great stress reliever for me and I'm grateful that you take time out of your obviously hectic life to run it. You do a kick-ass job IMO.

Thanks :) I'm glad it's appreciated, and many people seem pretty happy with it, and I know I should just concentrate on that and not one person's negativity.

Oh and by the way - love the icon :)
