By the way just want to say a huge thank you to all of you who helped me through difficult times, even though some members would say they would not have plasted there problems on the board, that's my choice not yours, you did not have to read them. It really is a shame i have found some wonderful people on here,

i tried to explain myself and how it had been misread, that wasn't good enough, they carry it on today. My thread yest was about us all getting on life is too short, and too many people suffering, can we be one big happy family. some people won't be bothered by this....... they took this personally. How silly i'm hardly going to put a thread on saying lets be one big happy family, if i was directing it at certain members am i? I give up. Like i said i tried to explain that was not good enough.

In a face-to-face conversation, only about 10% of the communication is verbal, the rest being by body language and facial expression. You have about 200 muscles in your face that have no other purpose than to control expression and convey feelings. So it's not surprising that printed words cannot carry the full meaning of the writer. Solicitors are best at it. Those who are worst at it are the ones who are not skilled in syntax and grammar not to mention punctuation. len

Unfortunately people do take things wrong...... Tis only because you're typing and not saying most of the time. The answers to the threads ......I suggest.....you read more than once.......and read in a positive way first. Just my opinion is all.......if not sure......ask! xx

Sometimes when adding a thread, people misunderstand what you have written, and take things the wrong way.( Shame really ).then when you take the time or trouble to explain, they still don't understand. It's like banging your head against a brick wall.
