jheez, 5,000 posts in 2 years. That is alot of posting.


And?


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

I've been paying a bit closer attention to post counts of late. That one caught my eye.

Here's the trick I use, RookKev, when my post count got too high, I started a new identity. That way, I look like a newbie when I make the same mistakes all over again this time around. (I'd post a cute smilie, but I'm actually kinda serious...)

Well err...look at mine LOL. I must be the chattiest of them all!

Hey Rookev, I always wanted to thank you. Early on here on MB you pointed something out to me in the way of a 2x4 that really hit home. Those mean a lot. So thanks. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You mean some crafty old timers have new IDs so they can get on with the job of quietly helping the hurting ones without attracting any attention ? Surely not !

Hey now, Friendly Fire...I was just noticing how many "new" names are popping up on the boards these days. I had a legitimate reason...to avoid my FWH turned WH and get some good advice. Of course WH had to go hack me and ruin all my plans. I'm sticking with Stonecold for now, unless I change my name to imanotheronetoo, which, quite frankly is a bit embarrassing.
But, yeah.....where ARE all these newbies coming from.....makes ya go hmmmmmmmm.

faithful,

I'm really pleased I helped ya out. I'm sure when I said it, I probably tested your 'faith' to the limit. I'm not the best at saying things 'in the spirit'. Generally, I try to say something very carefully, and still get that crosseyed look from my wife, telling me I should have just shot myself, it'da been alot less painful.

But, thank you, it is nice to hear that at least one or two of my 950+ posts actually did someone some good.

Friendly...do you want a little ice with the Fire, hmmm?

Don't make my blonde brain work too hard...serious injury may result.

Ah. Okay.

Thought it was a jab at how long it took me to actually git'er done.

(not really...it DID take a long while...but it took exactly as long as it had to in order to work)

I had issues. Big, huge hairy issues.

Now I just have a Wookie. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

OH GOSH NO!

The only negative thing I can really see by a high post count is that sometimes this board becomes our 'escape', the same as the affair may have been for the spouse. A high post count generally to me means the user is posting alot, and inherently, must be reading an aweful lot. That much reading in this board can be very 'traumatic' to the senses.

I know I generally have to step back every now and then and take a deep breath.

Oh Rook!

I don't post near as much as I used to....I check in during the weekdays....weekends and nights are for family and home.

But I was so shattered for so long. MB saved ME as much as I used it to saved my marriage.

I do a lot more stepping back now, too. Somedays it's hard to see all the pain and I have to distance myself.
