Let's try this again after a clean-up.

Okay?

Thanks for being a little more sensitive to the reality that some people have had a hell of a year.

Thanks guys.

Just to echo what I said on the other thread that I've been checking in as much as I can recently but don't always post - I don't like posting just for the sake of it - only when I have something valid to add, which hasn't been much recently.

I know there is some bad feeling amongst forumites and those who feel that we have taken advantage of people here. That is most definitely not the case. I'm not insensitive or blind to the things that others are going through but unfortunately everyone handles things differently. Until Monday I was only 24, so I guess my capacity to deal with a lot of sh!t at once isn't fully formed and functional yet. There's only so much I can handle without letting something slip.

If there are forumites out there who are really annoyed by my lack of regular posting recently, then we will gladly give back the money that was donated to us. I'd much rather do that than have what happened used as a stick with which to beat me when I start to struggle with things.

I know there's lots of people who manage to post here despite having an awful lot on their plates and like I said I'm not blind to that. I just want to be able to post as and when I can without other people making judgements on our situation.

In part it's been worry about snide comments being made that has caused me to be quieter when I've logged on as I didn't want any remarks being made about me "still being alive" when I did manage to post.

I'm sorry for any offence caused - it was most unconsciously done. This forum is a great place and a lot of amazing things have happened here. If there are a large number of people with bad feeling towards us as I've been led to believe, let me know and it may be easier to actually leave if it helps people get over the idea that we "took the money and ran". I know some people did do this, but we are not those people. But if it helps people put me in a pigeonhole and give me a label, fine.

Azzy_wazzy, you and that sidekick Scruffbag are two of my favourite ppl in all of england, and anyone saying anything unfavourable about either of you are in effect offending me too. And that can never be a good thing.

Oh, and happy birthday again:)

Big hugs

Mammoth...some people may enjoy that...think of something else.

Azzy Let the old Goat Poppa help here....

Number one NEVER let one or two comments color your vision of what going on.

Number 2...even if you just say something stupid once in awhile...we appreciate it as we all care for you and that scruffbag guy. You are our favorite.....we kind of accept him as part of the package...hehehe Trev just a joke to llighten things up

Number three...I never give to receive...bad karma...I also try not to judge. My comments were that you apparently had left the building. (It may have been with Elvis, but I didn't want to make scruff jealous)

Number 4, you have zero obligation to participate here..but please do

Number 5 If you send anybody money I will start posting on Talk Bass.....that would be worse than that battery thing

Forums should never give you stress unless you are jack or me and then you need antacid before checking in.

How's that.....

Please use this as a place to escape and realize that none of its important ...its just bonding.

Thank you BP - I certainly don't take offence at your comments at my potentially "having left the building" - I'd be the first one to admit that's how it appears. But I did take offence at a few remarks given that I apologised a few months ago for being quiet and explained the situation.

But hopefully it's all sorted now. I've said my piece and trust that everyone else who has something to get off their chests has said theirs and that we can now return to our scheduled programme... :)

If saying something stupid occasionally were a crime, the vast majority of forumites would have already been sent to a Siberian work camp....or forced to use Rotosound strings.

Whos you Poppa? Any crazy stunts lined up? It been awhile

Crazy stunts... hmmm...

Nothing planned at the moment, but if I take a break from trying not to scratch the giant mosquito bite that has taken over my arm, I might be able to think of something. :)

Seriously, they have killer mosquitoes in Germany. This thing hurts! :D
