Allow me another `mummy` moment;
My son just came home from school, with a grubby tear streaked face. I asked him what happened, and he told me of an argument he`d had at school, where a girl had proceeded to slap him around the face. I asked him if he had told a teacher, and he said no, he was waiting for the girl to own up to the teacher herself. I asked if she did, and he told me that no, the teachers should have known about it, but the girl instead chose to disappear to the toilets and didn`t come out for about half an hour. He said `there was obviously something wrong`
He`s nine :love:
Of course you and I know there`s a fair chance the girl locked herself away because she knew she was in the shit, but I`m really touched my boy decided not to push the issue because he felt that `there was obviously something wrong`.
Yesterday he came home telling me how he spends his `independance time` sharpening someone elses pencils for them. I think I might have to work on the whole independance concept with him a bit. :giggle:

People ripped the shit out of him, because you was young and naive. Not because he was rude or insulting.
He didnt post what he did (up until the threat) to upset anyone but because he thought that was what you had to do to get a shag. Afterall thats probably his attitude in real life teenage Romford.
He didnt ignore all the advice offered, he did actually try.
He wasnt on a wind up - he genuinely thought he would impress everyone.
I agree it was an entertaining read - but wasnt it just a little bit easy?
Not all of us were born with the experience and knowledge that we have now.
I`m inclined to agree. There was a point where I think things *may* have been very different but was steamrollered by the
Granted, his behaviour left a lot to be desired, and in the end he shot himself in the foot, but I have to ask, was it him who already held the gun, or was it handed to him? We will never know, but given that we do have longterm members here who, by their own admission, were complete twats when they first joined up, perhaps it would be valuable to the site to extend more tolorance? I cringe to think of the really good friends I would never have made if they had encountered the same attitude on the site which is prevalent today. They wouldn`t have lasted two seconds. It seems to me to be a matter of Russian Roulette when joining up here if you happen to be a person who has a great deal to learn.
I haven`t yet made up my mind how much the responsibilty in fitting in lies with the new members, or the established members, but I do know that it`s a lot to ask that new members should automatically know how to fit in, or be able to adapt to a new environment and behaviour as quickly as some would demand. The attitude they encounter will have a great deal of influence upon encouraging negative or positive behaviour from them.
Is the entertainment value really more important than extending tolorance and time toward new albeit twattish members? If so, perhaps we should be asking ourselves why?

The ideas of stages I had was;
is anyone interested
set a date
gather a list of interested peeps
pm people with relevent info - what pub etc...
The first consideration is that people are unlikely to sign up for an event until they get to know YOU better, as timewasters can work both ways, people will be naturally cautious. Your `to do` list shows common sense
, as for filtering the timewasters who sign up, many people will put a proviso asking that those who do sign up have a certain amount of posts/time on the site in order to reflect that they have managed to maintain interest and will likely stick around for a socialHope that helps

Alexander the Great and Sir Walter Raleigh took Jungian typology tests???
(Bonus point for anyone who spotted me putting this in the wrong thread)
That`s something else which annoys the snot out of me to an extent. Impossible to second guess the exact personality type of historical characters, and including an Astrology slant on some of the typology sites also helps to invalidate the test (IMO)
It helps to put the test into the same catagory as `what type of dog are you` tests when people see that.
However, I do think it is possible to theorise personality types for well developedfictional characters, that`s always fun. In fact Mars has been wanting to share my interest for some time, but was becoming quite baffled with it all, until I started to equate personality types with Star Trek races, then he had an Eureka moment!
Ice, you posted in the wrong thread hun

APPLE TREE (Love) - of slight build, lots of charm,
appeal, and attraction, pleasant aura, flirtatious,
adventurous, sensitive, always in love, wants to love
and be loved, faithful and tender partner, very
generous, scientific talents, lives for today, a
carefree philosopher with imagination.
God I hate it when the ones with no scientific basis ring true, it makes me question how much I`m subjectively reading into the Jung tests :huh:
In my defense, I`m not very tender, or carefree! :lol2:

You know its funny , i do believe SH has more people studying for a degree than any Forum ive ever posted on . Not a piss take ( I have to say that cos its me and that what everyone expects) just something i noticed , wonder if it says something about a liberalism/intelligence equation ?
The relationship between that and thinking outside of the box? I`ve considered the same also, but tenatively, because I`m wary of coming across as a intellectual/class snob.
(she says with her lone GCSE and DSS benefits......
)It`s interesting to note that there isa large number of people here who are within the 30-35 k wage bracket, something which is difficult to achieve without the right level of education.

I have worked in both an office and behind a till, and yes, it drove me nuts (yes, big respect for those it suits). Left to my own devices though, I very easily fall into a unmotivated routine.....I think it`s called a coma 
. That`s why it`s important for me to have an outside responsibility which stimulates and tests me in a variety of ways.
Although it can feel difficult at the time, I always thrive best if the bar is raised to a point which will make me jump! People notice it too, because I will become much more animated overall.

No two days were the same and I kind of liked that, makes it exciting and stimulating.
Which is something I am very aware a person like me needs. Any hint of a repetitive routine and the whole shithouse goes up in flames! I am possibly the worse person I know for maintaining some kind of organisation in a household for example. It sends me stir crazy......
Not that anyone here would have noticed!

No you didn`t Ice. You said you admired my mind and wanted me to mentor you. :mrgreen:
I need a decent paint programme so I can cut and paste without an opaque background cropping up.
Any recommendations? I only have MS paint!
Venusxxx
MS paint will do it.
You need to select the star shaped tool in the top left, then the lower of the two coloured boxes tools, then trace the thing you want to cut out manually, then hit Ctrl+C. The cut out will be rectangular, but everything outside the area you traced will be transparent.
HTH
That`s exactly what I did (except I cut from the menu, and not the keyboard). I ended up with a white background in the rectangle.
I`m glad you said that, because I swear that`s how I did it before. Something is awry

You mean he can actually get on the pc with you superglued to the seat????
Whatever happened to his night?
I'll happily hold his ... erm ... hand

Well, of course I always get the blame for his not posting, but truth of the matter is he doesn`t have a clue when he gets on! He`s online tonight, but he won`t be posting on here!
Venusxxx
Does it really need to be validated as such though? If someone asks to be shown the ropes they should be able to do so regardless of time spent on the site etc. The validation is in the asking, seems simple enough to me.
