sorry to hear u lost someone. Will send prayers ur way!

Even when texting, I don't shorten words. Mine just sends a second text if it goes over the character limit. Though, I can understand why people may shorten words for texting.

But other than texting? I just don't see the point at all. As I said earlier, the occasional abbreviation is fine. But much more than that? It would take me longer to type everything in text speak than it would to type real words.

I like heart and humor

I know i haven't been on the site very long but i feel like I never get any nudges or emails. What am i doing wrong?? Suggestions?

I think you're right, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.

For those of us who have no one to interact with in "real life," this sort of venue can be a useful form of compensation.

And what would be the point of posting, if you didn't want someone to read it....?

Nice idea. However, you may want to edit the subject line so it has something to do with the thread, so people know what kind of thread it is.

Mud, LOL. just remembering some of the old school good bands.

I don't blame you man. These chicks aren't right..........

It's a "her" mrheartfelt.....she is a transgendered female.

She said and...then something bad happen and she told her mom...whats considered bad??

Tomorrow marks the fourth anniversary of my signing up on this site.

From the early days when it was known as Just Say Hi, to the brief interlude of One + You, and the two weeks at the end of 2007 when it was called Banjos For Less, to today's high-tech, ultra-modern Mingle2, this site has become an essential part of my everyday existence.

That's another way to say "addiction."

And I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who made this day necessary. To the Admin crew, to my fellow mods, to the people on my friends list, to the literally hundreds I've interacted with in the forums, to everyone who has offered support for, and encouragement to, my writing (and some pretty nifty book reviews!), to everyone on the site who has e-mailed or IMed me over the years, to the ones who were here and left but still made an impact (I miss you, Nus!), to the people who sent me stuff on my birthday out of the sheer kindness of their hearts....to all of you, thank you.

Thank you for making this site what it was, and is, and will be.

Thank you for showing me that there are still some damn good people in this world. It amazes me that you've all found your way here. but I'm not complaining.

Looking forward to the next four....

regardless of her age why would anyone want to deal with this. it isnt love. its emotional co dependency. move the crap on to somethin else.

Well, you have it.

Meanwhile, snow will go away.

Whenever I get into that 'oh woe is me' mode -- I try to stop myself and think - 'ya know, there is always someone who has it "better" and there is always someone how has it "worse" than me'

But truly, I am so very, very, very blessed and usually fall asleep literally counting my blessings - from having a comfy bed to having great friends to having a kitty curled up with me - the simplest things are the best!!

There are so many 'out there' who are struggling for so many reasons - pray for them and keep them in your thoughts - you never know when just a simple smile can turn someone's day around !
