I guess it's how one reads a post that makes a difference and we all read them in our own way.
I didn't read his in an ugly way/tone.

I think she did though and that's the orobl with texting or comments. You can't hear the tone of the person's voice or see them to know how they mean it.

That's why I dislike social media sites. Too many lines to ref between when reading someone's comments. I'm learning to not react, it's hard sometimes

Only time I went to the Dr about a wound was because it happen at work , they made me because it wouldn't quit bleeding.... 5 stiches and couldn't lift more than 5 lbs or the stitches pulled out on my finger. Off work for 2 wks
Have had worse that I never did much other than wash and wrap

Why do people eat regularly off of foam or paper plates with plastic utensils?

I thought people just use these things for a big party or something every once in awhile... Not daily.

I think some people might not have the time to do dishes and some people just don't like doing dishes and some might just be lazy.

I eat off real plates every day all day. Paper plates and foam plates plus plastic utensils cause a lost of waste in this world. A lot of it ends up in the ocean unfortunately.

I think there's a way to address people and it's all in the way you write it. When you are writing something to someone you have to be very cautious in how you write it and the way that it sounds.

I feel like when someone has asked you repeatedly to stop talking to them a certain way, you need to take that into consideration.

I have never heard you talk like that and repeatedly saying something over and over to someone when they already get the point to me is just ridiculous.

She's trying as hard as she can and I think she needs to be cut some slack not a ton, but she has put in applications and is trying.

I remember when my father used to be really hard on me all the time and it completely backfired when I rebelled against him. I turned into a partier and I was hanging out with the wrong crowd. Sometimes I wish that he would have been a less hard on me and gave me compliments when I did something good. Everything I did was never enough. When I would play basketball 20 points in a game was never enough. When I scored those 20 points I felt like I completely dominated the game and then I would get into the car with my father and hear about everything that I did wrong instead of saying "good job tonight." Sometimes he does it to my youngest at his swim meets and I always pull him aside to tell him to cool off.

I see success in the little things like him taking seconds off from his last swim. I feel like positive reinforcement is better than negative reinforcement. When someone is rewarded for just the little accomplishments, they will succeed more than someone who is given negative reinforcements for doing small things.

I think the issue is she keeps posting that she knows what she needs to do, but then doesn't do it. There's always a reason, possibly even a good one, for the thing not being done. But it gets hard to stay helpful and motivating when this goes on for months. We like Kdogg and want her to succeed, but she's the one that has to put in the work to be successful.

Definitely agree it's hard to write and make sure the tone received is the one meant to be sent.

I honestly don't think that encouraging words are the end all to everything. I also don't think that being hard on someone is the end all to everything either.

There has to be someone in her life whether it's her mother or father or a close friend that could help her out. I don't think that telling her to do things over a thread is truly going to make its mark. Words are words, but actions speak louder. maybe she could have a friend that could go to our house or maybe her parents that could help her out with the applications or getting her to interviews.

There has to be someone in her life that needs to be proactive in helping her and not just by their words, but by their actions.

I know it's hard to have patience with it, but I have learned since having children that just because you say something doesn't mean that it's going to work that way. Sometimes people need more than words.

I wonder if y'all would throw a fit if it had been me that typed this message.

I agree with it.


Cassie I'm sorry that happened to you... Poor dog.

Stop reading scary stories on the internet they're not going to happen to you.

I don’t disagree but it wasn’t even relevant lol.
I’m fairly sure a job at McDonald’s isn’t going to give you experience in handling dog bites.

Might give you experience in human bites

It's happened before

As a veteran of the food service industry, I can verify that it never taught me how to extract a thrashing terrified dog from a storm drain or treat any resulting injuries

I worked at Applebee's when I was younger and boy did I meet some interesting people. I also got good tips so can't complain.
