Fao Desktop

You might feel that you are being ganged up on when you don't receive the sympathetic ear that you might be hoping for. You may well feel bullied when lots of ABers give you very similar advice. These reasons may well explain why you ignore so many good posts.

There is a good reason for the posts we make on your threads. We see that you are struggling and we want to help you. We can only help you if you listen to what we have to say and in some small measure act on what we suggest.

I really don't think there is anyone on AB that wants to see you end up in prison but from some of the situations you have described that has seemed to be a possibility. The advice you have been given has been well meant, although frequently bluntly put because your resolute position of ignoring good advice is enormously frustrating.

I don't know what help you get from your GP or CPN but I hope they are aware of your domestic situation. If they are not you should tell them.

Good luck.

I'll be the first to admit I've had my doubts, but no, I believe it is all real for her.

Of course it's pretend. We are meant to think that someone can set up an email, register on here, register with gravatar, get a picture, load it to gravatar, link it to here but can't manage a meeting with their landlord or sort out their bloody washing machine. botox, the lot of it.

Then do as the Ed asked and don't post on her threads if you think that, otherwise if you are wrong it's bullying of the nastiest sort, why is that so hard for everyone?

Before I begin my answer, I would like to say to Desktop - please do not think I am labelling you in anyway, this is a generalised response.


What we need to remember is that in this world there are some people who cannot and do not respond to day to day things as 'we' [whoever we are] may do. This can have many causes from learning disabilities or in the case of two of my Grandchildren Autism and other factors [ not you sir].

To those without experience this can appear odd, uncaring or strange but in truth is the only way they can operate, phrases like 'sort yourself out' or ' look at those worse off' are futile and do not help.

Sorry to go off on one, but have spent the day cringing at the ritual humiliation.

If as others think this is an elaborate wind up - I would rather have been taken for a ride than been cruel.

But it's not just the washing machine. It's the meeting with the poor landlord, the rent owed on the garage, the taxi licence, the gas burners, the poo at the job given up, the poo the postman then the husband stepped in and later cleaned up, it's the ibs, it's the fainting in the shower, it's people dying and the funerals and the piles and it's so many othe things. And the other side is the requests for who is singing on this advert which often takes priority and gets more feedback than the other stuff. I doubt desktop reads our advice at all unless it's about CDs or agreeing that you are also fed up.

Well said grasscarp

[EcclesCake]

So glad I started this thread..... :-(

[Mamyalynne]

Grasscarp I am surprised at you - earlier you asked for your thread to be removed??

[Mamyalynne]

Triggs or may I call you Eric darling - love to you too ♥

[Mamyalynne]

"Well said...."

I broke a fingernail for nothing then - que sera.

[grasscarp]

Mamya I did ask for my thread to be removed and it was thankfully. Mine was irrelevant. However tonight there have been other people going against each other solely due to their mixed reactions on subject of desktop. I have added a couple of comments and don't feel they are unfair. Why should one person who seems unappreciative of our input cause us all to fall out with each other?
