Do you think, that being a part of this website, is
like belonging to one big family.

You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
Yes, indeed. I talk to you all more then I do any of my family and friends.
I guess I just love you more.
kinda comsiccomesa(so, so) if i was able to get on it more i’d probably consider help.com a second family…good point!

I have left you a shout.
Yes, Thepp, it often feels like one big dysfunctional family… lol. We somehow manage to support each other in spite of our differences.
yes it is definitely i have like 3 families lol
1) my actual family (who im not actually that close to)
2) my friends (who i am close to)
3) help.com (who i am quite but i cant see your visages lol)
Like we love each other, we fall out with others at times, we make up and we become stronger by learning from each other.
Hi there tweety_bird.
Welcome to help.com
we are being very honest, cause we are anonyme. we are not afraid to talk to each other
yeah, but my friend was like ” i aint talking to some stranger about what i wouldnt talk to my parents about” and i was like i talk to anyone except my parents lol. except staff at school as well. only good friends and people on here (i dont actually know you all that well…)
Yes but I am talking about us, that already are and others in the future. That are already or will be in the future be part of this website.
YES, this site feels like one big family, except less borrowing of money.
How much do you want to borrow?
Yes I am only joking.
It is like a big family. My family is all over the place and when I can’t
talk to one of them its nice to know I can talk to someone on help who
knows what I’m feeling or going through.
Hi there cmfleming.
Thanks for your input, Are you ok at the moment?
I’m doing good. My dad is doing ok with chemo and radiation treatments.
Mom said they will do this till sometime in June I think. Then we find
out whether its working or not. Thank you for asking.
Thepp,
Yes, I definatly believe that help.com is like a big family. You guys all feel like my family anyway. I can come to this site and ask a question or just vent and I know that someone will help me out or just listen to me. I talk to you guys on here sometimes more than I do my own family (but thats just cause they are so far away). Yes, we do have some arguments on here, we have tears, and laughter too. I wouldn’t want to give up my help.com family for anything in the world. You guys are great!!!
cmfleming.
I have been following your posts with interest. I have something called emphasemia. Got to go for some tests soon. They keep putting back, but one day I’ll get there. It is progresive and I sometimes get concerned about it. So I can to a certain extent understand your anxiety about your dad. I do hope that the treatments he gets will sort his illness out.
furbartiger.
Thankyou for those comments, it looks like you are much happier today.
it does a lot. i get feel closer to everyone on here then i do with my regular friends. family is mainly there to help you and support you through things and this site definatly does that for me…
So I love all you sweethearts on here.
Thanks
Thanks Itran1988.
Im glad I started this post, your replies have made me feel much better. I was feeling a bit down but I feel better now.
thepp you know youre always gonna be my sweetheart now…so im always here for you when u need me.
be happy dont be sad cuz that makes me sad
I’m not sad now, thanks for that
Thepp,
I am doing much better today. My gram is getting better everyday. I am on my way out to see her now. She is now eating solid food and is working with her PT to get her strength back. I can’t wait until they move her to a regular floor. I know she’ll be much happier. I spent some time with my mom, my sister and brother last night. The four of us have not gone out together for a very long time and I will tell you I had so much fun. My sister can be so funny sometimes, even when she is not trying to be. We had some laughs on her part last night. Also spent time with my mom today. Seems like we are getting closer which is a very good thing. Haven’t been close with her since I was 14. Also spoke to Adam and he might be able to help me move my stuff. He said he needs to talk to his mom and he’ll get back to me. I went to the cematery today to visit my grandpa and my aunt. Was a little upset about that, cried a little, but I know they are up there with God and they are all looking down on me and my gram.
Thanks for the update. Things are getting better by the day. Just do whatever it is that you have been doing. It’s working out for you. I will leave you a shout before I sign of later on.

I agree, and like the idea of a family. I would like to be part of it. In its ups and downs. Arguments , disagreements and ultimate growth.
Thanks Thepp
IPOH.
I think that you are a big part of the family, you always seem to be there when it matters.
Thepp invited 1 user to read this post 2 years, 7 months ago.
I fully agree with Limon—one, big, dysfunctional family. I love you guys, though. All of you. Even the ones I fight with.
Itsymitzyspider.
It is agood place to spend some time in. I’m beginning to like it more as each day goes by.
The Fronde.
It might be dysfunctional sometimes, But it’s great when we all pull together.
Thanks itsymitzyspider.
The truth is, we all of us make it a better place.
Thanks both of you, it’s 2-45 am here and I have to leave some one a shout before I go to bed. So good night to both of you.
comsiccomesa, haven’t heard that in a while, I could take a guess where your from, emohottie060. Anyway, its sort of like a family type enviornment, we agrue sometimes but we get along more times than not. And Queennie sorry if I hurt your feelings.
cajun406.
Thats got me going. What does comsiccomesa mean?
Does your name have any connection to cajun music and culture?
Well if it is go to this website http://www.vanbasco.com/ In the box at the top just type in, just by itself cajun then click search. Masses of cajun music to listen to and download, pluss thousands of other types of free music.
Of it is like a big family here. Well at least thats my perception:)
Det Mills.
Thanks for dropping in. Have you ever looked at that website above, thers loads of free music on it. It’s all instramental but it all downloadable and free.
Thanx Thepp, I’ll be sure to check it out.
hi. thanks for the shout.
my answer is yes and i like it here, family members with different personalities. i hate it when people argue sometimes but i think that’s the way it is anywhere in the world. hope im helping.
when lilies are daisies.
That helps a lot, I thought I would put a peaceful type post on.
andyrewgilbert26_7.
Thankyou.
I would say so yep…. think about it we all now and then bump and “fight” with each other, but as soon as one needs help, we all are there for them… Just like a normal family…
What you think?
Nice to see your input 31N5731N.
Thankyou.
Hey Thepp.. anytime my man… we all family/friends here… ;) hope alls well that side by you…

It couldn’t be better at the moment and I am glad to be part of this family.
comsiccomesa(so, so) just referencing emohottie 060 , and yes Im a cajun(coonass) from south louisiana. Thanks for the link. Not sure if emohottie 060 lives there but it a common phrase because of the french heritage we have, even though we were all exiled and thrown out.
It’s a pleasure cajun.
I have downloaded tons of the music from that website, but I dont have much time to listen to it.
Thanks again cajun.
Give it a good scratch.
Like one big dysfunctional family that is. lol.
one big one LOL… ;)
Sitesurfer.
It seems to be the most popular description.
Do they test ok?
Just so long as you don’t go farting around the post. Stinky.
Have you guy’s heard. I can say anything I want about my brother, But if you say it, we’ll fight to the death. That my family. I can say it but you better not dare insult my family.
Very protective of family.
you got that right Thepp thanks for the support on my post dude
It’s a pleasure Denny, you deserve the support. You have helped and supported me in the past. This is a perfect example of why I put this post up.
Reading the post makes it feel more like a family, because just a short time ago people posting hear were at each others throughts and now we are getting along fine. People posting hear now(Me included,I know). Just like brothers and sisters. Thepp are you trying to get us to all make up for the other day.
To cajun and Anthrax.
Only in part. It is mainly so that we can all just see how much good there is in all of us and draw strength from each other.
By avoiding the ones that we dont like is not going to help those people. But by trying to offer them a helping hand, might give them and ourselves more understanding and tollerance.
When I started the post it was so that we could put our feelings of how we all feel about being part of help.com.
As much for any who feel secluded as for those that dont. I just wanted to get to know as many of you as I could. It was just this simple thought that caused this post.
Yeah, I think it’s like a family. A highly opinionated and disfunctional one but that kinda describes my real family so, yeah, a family.
Thanks WhiskeyMac.
I appreciate what you say.
ya..indeed.. although I have little help… I really appreciate it.. How u think?
An Unknown Location | 2 years, 7 months ago (19 hours, 8 minutes after post)
This does kind of feel like a family. I mean, family supports each other and that is what we do
leostephanie.
I think it is a family, with it ups and downs just like families have.
everythingisconnected.
Thats a lot of name to type in, Thankyou for your thoughts.
I thought I should contribute to this since it made it all the way to the homepage and what not…
Don’t make me pull this website over! I’ll come back there!
:)
it’s a big family.
With joys and disappointments.
A family where people share secrets, fears, joys.
=)
We function as support groups for each other. I see that a lot.
And people make a lot of effort to resolve differences, so we are very much so like a family, especially since people are sharing their personal hardships with one another.
i think if u are a forum moderator u are a part of a family
other than that u are just networking.
hmf_2.
Thankyou for your views. You seem to be just as much, if not more addicted (meant in a nice way) as I am.
at least spelling isn’t a requirement of this site :P.
I agree…this place is very addictive :). It is an opportunity to reach people who are on the other side of the world, and an opportunity for those people to receive help.
we can’t help but to keep coming back. we love it here. The interaction, care, and emotion between all of us. from all over the world.
Thanks elatnradiate.
I have found out from this post how special help.com means to a lot of people, and how much so many special people mean so much to help.com.
hi the candp.
Nice to see you. Remember the shout the other day? I have found out why this site is so addictive.
It’s something rather special isn’t it?
hmf_2.
Dont worry about the spelling, mines not to brilliant iether.
I need a mug of tea all this talking makes me thirsty. Be back in a short while.
lol. your right thepp we are like one big odd family on here. some are really cloes to others on here bt some arent but still talk to people so they are like cousins and things. lol
Thats an interesting answer redstar. The first time that its been explained quite so explicitly.
Thepp,
Could you please help me again? I just posted something and need all the help I can get!!!
I have seen your post and your shout, I will get back to you later.
This isnt a family, it is a cliche, a popularity contest, there are only a handful of people who give thoughtful responses. Some of the best posts have a handful of responses, and look at how many responses this post gets… I feel its back in highschool on help.com…
Thankyou anonymous.
It’s nice of you to bring us all back to our senses. I know we will all give your words of wisdom a lot of thought.
@Anon
To the point about the number of replies on this post in particular: Everyone ON Help can relate to being a part of Help. However, for all the other posts, not every member of Help has advice to give or share on that topic, so the pool of available repliers gets a lot smaller.
Thanks Chuy.
I will remember that answer.
to add one more point to Chuy’s reply, not every post or question gets seen by someone with the right expertise to answer it (though we’re working on improving the site to help with this every day).
And I just wanted to say to everyone on this thread how awesome it is to me and Chuy that this site means this much to everyone, and that the time spent on Help is worthwhile and meaningful for you. It really means a lot.
I just realized I said ‘mean’ three times in a row in that reply. And I was an English major in school. No one tell my family about this please. :)
Thanks Erik.
I have realy been shown the extent of peoples love of help.com. It makes me proud to be a part of it.
Just this once then I wont tell your family
Wow its in couloure now. Hows that for progress?
Thanks for that itsymitzyspider, just one thing though. Can you make it flash please?
i say thing on this site i can’t and wouldn’t say to my famiy, you guys are like a second family.
That was the funniest I’ve heard for a long time.
Nice one BruceTuxedo:Made Of Magic
I have noticed you manage to bring out a lot of good humour in some of your posts. Keep it up.
The wiki article about friendship.
Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more humans. This article focuses on the notion specific to interpersonal relationships. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, and affection. Friends will welcome each other’s company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on a consistent basis:
the tendency to desire what is best for the other,
sympathy and empathy,
honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth,
mutual understanding.
In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than acquaintanceship, although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and acquaintanceships. Friendship and acquaintanceship can be thought of spanning across the same continuum.
The principal disciplines studying friendship are sociology, anthropology and zoology. Various theories of friendship have been proposed, among which are social psychology, social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles. See Interpersonal relationships
nope i dont know how to make it flash lol but if i could i would !!!
Thanks itsymitzyspider.
I’ve just put the christmass lights around the monitor. What do you think? Do you think that looks good?
Should I leave the post open? Or should I close it?
Yay for Christmas lights!!
Leave the post open I like people to say nice things!!
:) Hugs & Smiles
Thanks again, but I am getting tired so I wont be answering any more replies that come in for a while.
My thanks hmf_2. Will do that then.

Thanks redstar. I will leave it open.
Yes Thepp, to some degree. The people who are here for the right reason and give sincere answers, it is a joy to try and help.
did you sleep at all since this post started thepp, go get some sleep. we’ll behave.
Yeah, because we’re messed up and have a bunch of problems that we need advice for. =)
i think it’s kool that i can give advice to someone and recieve advice and ideas when i need them, so yea it’s pretty much like one big strange family that everyone only knows little bits about everyone
not really lol and don’t get so attached to people online mr.thepp it won’t be good for you,trust me.
Thankyou all for your concern.
Yes I have sleapt for my usual amount of time. I will try to behave myself and not get to attached. I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to answer this post. I have learnt a lot more about you and have much more respect for all of you, by your answeres.
Hi tony strength.
Some interesting things to think about in your message. I try to stay away from diccussing religion and politics, it always seems to end in arguaments.
That it is a base for sharing and gaining friends and that it gives us the enjoyment of helping others. Is a honourable aim and goal.
Thankyou for your honest oppinion.
That is fantastic Itsymitzyspider.
You certainly know how to spoil somebody.
He He
Lol! I try! I really do love coming here, it’s definitely like a family.
itsy, where did you make that? i want to make one =p
same here man! shout me plz
I love Help.com!!!!
I think it was a miracle that I stumbled upon this wonderful place and now I will never leave! I do feel like you all are family! I am very glad that others feel the same way!
Thanks kittenface.
I love it here as well, if you ever need to talk you know where to come.
yes i feel as though we all are helping eachother, so we minds well be a big family
Thankyou www.lattiffanybattl.
Are you going to verify your membership? You need to go to your e-mail and click on the link that help.com has sent you.
It would be nice to have you as a verified member.
Crazy_girl.
Glad to have you around when you can manage it though. I notice your replies they are always helpful, so keep it up as often as you can.
oh, maybe not same feeling as being part of a blood family, but its really comforting being able to talk like the same comforting feeling I get when I’m with a really close group of friends. So yeah it is kinda like a nice big family I suppose. Its just nice having someone who will actually listen to what you say. I only have that with one person and shes away in like elgin for ages so I can ask this instead :)
Nice to see you Harlequin8.
Sorry about the pyramid, I hope you can make it again.
Your a part of home.com and welcome, however you see it home.com will be here for you and so will I.
thanks Thepp its appreciated. And I’ll make a bigger and better pyramid.. and spray it with some flameproof stuff.
Thats the spirit. Dont let them get to you. It’s like you say you can have the bigger better version now.
yes i believe that help.com is one big family. we are there to support eachother through times of good and bad, even if we don’t really know the person
Thankyou Andy.
Your input is appreciated. I started the post so that I could get to know as many people as I could who are users of help.com. I am surprised by the amount of replies I recieved.
Yup, or something like that. It’s nice that people kinda get to know each other around this website, so I can’t say that I know u Thepp, even though I’ve seen ur name around a lot. It’s a nice think to be able to make a friend, all of whom came to a place in order to help people. Sorry that I didn’t have time to answer this until now. Lol
Thankyou TravelerOfWorlds.
It surprises me that people are still answering this post. But I am enjoying the responces that are still coming in.
At least we have met each other now and Iam pleased that this has happened, because that is what this post is all about.
I and every one else are each others friends, we are all here if you need any of us.
By the way, better late than never.
i think so too. this website is so awesome. it is like if you have a really biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig problem and you don’t want to tell your family or friends about it, you can go here, because these people don’t really know you, so your secret is safe, and…….your problems are solved
!!! hi everybody on help.com!! i think you are the greatest!!!!!!!!
Nice to see you kisser109.
I like the name. Why dont you verify your self and come join us?
It’s not a bad place to spend some time.
Maybe giving help is just the help we all need… Hopefully it will spread through out the world… Maybe we can change this crazy world around, one person at a time…peace out
Well said born2rock.
Keep hoping and hang in there, we do make a difference in this crazy world.
Hi there jetmoo.
I’m glad your part of the help.com family. I would miss you if you weren’t here.
this is my family right here. *gives one huge hug to everyone* almost everyone loves this place like a second home. i love it!
It’s great to see you are, like me so fond of the people on help.com.
Thankyou for your comments.
I am still very new, but I have been talking with a few very kind and helpful people. This site helps me feel like I have something to offer. Maybe I can make a difference to someone. Sometimes, though, you really need a hug or an arm around you. It is very cold in cyberspace. I like to think of us as all a part of the same human family. That is why we are here. To help our brothers and sisters and to ask for help in return. We are a community.
Welcome to the family of help.com.
I have already noticed some of your replies but haven’t had the chance up until now to welcome you. Almost all of the members will always be here to help you if you should need it. That includes me, sorry about the hug I cant give one of those, only if you use your imagination.
I am looking forward to seing more of your replies and posts.
darkdour.
Thank you for your message.
It’s realy good to see so many of us can come together and feel that we are part of a big family. It makes me feel realy good to be a part of it.
What’s the matter ANONYMOUS?? Jealous that we have good friends here?
Didnt you ever hear “dont beleive the type” If you are calling this a family its pretty sad.. Everybody knows the internet is filled with phonies and this sight isnt any different. Anybody could sound nice on paper until you meet them in person…
but atleast on this website everyone is nice to each other. not like oher website where people are forever critisising each other.
isn’t it better we may not know who each other are that way we can ask personal questions with out worrying if anyone will find out in your town?
Thankyou for your oppinions Anonymous.
I personaly welcome any answer on this post, I asked a question that invites views of other users and members. You are entitled to your views.
It will annoy some members that you had to hide behind anonymous.
It’s my first answer to Help.com since I just have been a member for a day. I totally agree with the topic that it seems like a big family and community that I can share my thoughts (even my English is not well enough!)….that’s why I become a member and try to learn from here.
Thats the first time I have seen the site being used to learn the english language, you are right though it is a good place to learn it. The only thing to watch for is the spelling. Welcome to help.com
the more times i come here the more i feel that way… thanks for being here :)
Thankyou W.
I have to admit I have not seen a lot of you on Help.com but I do like that you have your own ideas and views. It’s nice to have you as a part of the website.
In a way yes…some people get closer than others.
Yeah, I do think it’s like one big family, I look forward to it every day and days that I can’t indulge I am upset.
i think its more like the communities that we had in the past… most of the time we dont know our neighbours (im no exception) and when i talk to my mum and older people about when they grew up, everyone knew everyone in the area.. people helped out if there was troubles, visited or gave food/fuel/clothes if the husband was ill and couldnt go to work or got made redundant.. we dont have that any more so i guess this is our substitute..
of course we are a family help.com is the perfect family that i could only dream of i luv all of u guys
Well, I know some of you. Others are new to me but give the same impression of warmth, sometimes some small quarrels like between sisters and brothers. But all of you wish the best for eachothers.
I like it!
Thank you molotok, blue_eyes, mandy12, bar2btl and Pennyfowler.
I have been very surprised about the response, this post has had and that it is still getting responses after all this time. I am glad that you all feel the way you do.
THANKYOU.
From Thepp.
heyheyhey new family!!!
it is like being part of a family as some people might not have anyone that they can talk to or maybe they feel that they cant tell them whats going on.it is hard for some peole to open up to the ones that they are close to
I hope so, I need a relative that has some money they can loan or give me.
