Maybe for me it is too later; but maybe not for others. Is there a newbie rule book for the Spot? What are the Addicts or old members dos and donts? What are your expectations of us? What do you like or prefer if a newbie not do? Thanks!
When I first joined nobody mentioned any dos and don'ts. I guess I did okay because nobody complained. I think the thing I really don't like is when someone joins just to sell something or push an agenda. I don't come here for politics so I really don't like to see where someone joins just to get attention for their favorite person or run down someone they don't like. I hear enough of that on tv.
Just be recpectful of other's. In other words: play nice there really aren't rules per sey. We had problems with "trolls" --- people just comeing to inturupt the normalcy here---- that is why we have the sections for members that have been here a bit longer. The titles are just for fun. they change as your posts increase.
Thanks for the suggestions. Sometimes, its hard to jump in, I feel at times that I don't really have a history here. For example: If someone is sick. I have said I will pray for them, which I do, but yet I think, am I being presumptuous?
No!!!! Prayer is a blessing from God and a blessing to others. I am not scolding you :angel:, but do not EVER think that praying for us or strangers is presumptuous. As Christians we are called to pray about all things, even if we do not know the person.
I used to feel like this when I first met some of these ladies over at abcteach a long time ago. I'd read about situations going on in their lives and even feel like I was intruding. At first, I'd say I was sorry for what they were dealing with, because I did pity them. It gets easier to say what you're feeling after you've hung around awhile. Let's see, who all was at abcteach back then?? I think Lorna, Jackie, Deena....who am I forgetting??
Just until you feel like you want to jump in. For me, I wanted to feel comfortable there, so I did like I said and said little things here and there. It's all about when you are comfortable.
Wow, I look at these Join dates: 2004, 2005, 2006... You folks go waaay back. That's awesome! Hey wait a minute, I just realized that I'm an Addict! Good for me, bad for the bonding time with the hubby! (one for each child) Amy Ball you were right!
