hotdog321's reply history at Help.com

Okay…I’ve made my desiion/ I will try to drop in on this site when I’m able. As Joshy Woshy put it; I am addicted to this site. I’m not sure how long that will last but at least it’s a start of something positive, right?

[quote thep]Hi there, as you probably know, I very raerly answer any post on here any more. I would like to have the privalidge though to answer this one.
I think that having an illness like your own, that is probbably cronic and progressive in nature, can make you feel like giving up.
I would like to see you find a way to not leave the website, instead, to use it as a platform to launch your fight against your illnesses.
Although I am personaly not here a lot myself any more, there are plenty of other members here, that will get and give encouragement from you doing this.
So I humbly ask you to stay and share the good and the bad parts.

Hope is all that I can offer, I give all of it that I have, that you get over this, no matter what you decide to do.[/quote]

Thep:

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I’m not quite sure how to respond. I’ve been having issues with my health conditions evr since I’ve been on this site and have overcome quite a few obstacles. I found solstice by simply trying to help others and will try to continue in that manner the best I can.

As for the others who have responded, trust me….I will respond to your posts but I only have so much energy. Don’t give up on me just yet….I just have to find a coomon ground between my health and my ability to spend any time on this site.

[quote Xeno Dragon]I’m really sad to see you leave, but I’m exceedingly glad to have known you while you’ve been here. You’ve been one of the people who kept this site going, and… well, I’ll miss you.[/quote]

You’ll miss me? Awwwwe, I have warm fuzzies. Dragon, I am trying my damnest to stay without draing my energy. I don’t want to give up this site if I don’t have to. As you know, this is my link to the outrside world.

I wouldn’t expect anything less from you hotdog321 your so addicted to this site you would beat cancer to post here lol. Take good care of yourself pal and try to eat like a pig as much as you can :)[/quote]

JOSHY:

Considerring the short amount of time you and I have known each other, you really DO have a handle onb who I am. I’m not yet ready to give something up which I enjoy but it’s getting a bit difficult to continue when I have to take my energy level and balance between day-to-day living and doing this site (which was something I did for me). Judging from all the replies I’ve gotten so far, I really want to find a way to continue on this site….maybe I’ll just try coming on once a week. We’ll see how that works.

Thanks to each of you for your support. I can promise you that I will not give in too easily…I intend to fight each step of the way.

I’d like to thank each of you for your support. I do intend to fight all my health issues every step of the way.

I’m unclear as to what you’re going through but then again, I’m almost always in the dark. Let me just extend a heart-felt get well soon as we need you to keep us going.

Many congrats on this. The best part of being a grandparent is you can spoil the kid rotten (more so than your own kids) and simply turn them back to their parents without the headaches!!

As far as being only 34….it gives you bragging rites….enjoy it.

[quote littlenick]Thank you all for responding. I really appreciate all your responses. :)[/quote]

Isn’t that the reason we’re here?

I, like so many others are upset because MAS1 has gotten bannned for speaking her opinion but we need to let this go and move forwward. In doing so, we can make this site better than ever.

[quote Dr. House][quote In-The-Making]Aaaactually no I forgot one more thing. You should be able to delete your posts, replies, or edit them.[/quote]

The site would become very empty in a short amount of time if we did that.

[quote hotdog321]In my opinion, anon posters should not be allowed. More often than not, they’re just on this site to get attention. When you offer advice, you never hear back from them. If you are sincere in asking for help or giving advice, why not take claim to it as opposed to being anon?[/quote]

Read up to what I said before. And isn’t trying to get attention a cry for help?[/quote]

I will concur that calling attention to one’s self could indeed be a cry for help but; more often than not, these anon posters should be willing to own up to their posts by having some type of identity. Again that is just my opinion for whatever it’s worth.

I still believe in Help.com so I see absolutely no reason to switch from the posting format that’s already working to blogs. As for the chat room, I’ve never used it so I really couldn’t care less what happens to it.

As for starting a new site; well it’s anybody’s perogative to do so….just keep in mind this site has always been a community where all users help each other

In my opinion, anon posters should not be allowed. More often than not, they’re just on this site to get attention. When you offer advice, you never hear back from them. If you are sincere in asking for help or giving advice, why not take claim to it as opposed to being anon?

Finally someone is standing up and taking action….I’ve done all I can do within my health constraints. It’s time each and every user stands up and does their part to keep Help.com afloat
