• (4 votes) A crazy idea…..
  

  I think a hell of a lot would be accomplished for a start. We wouldn’t have just words to comfort us. I for one, would at least like to hug my friends and be there for them physically rather than just on a screen for once.
  
  Plus, the English and grammar would be a lot better, and we can just beat the crap out of the trolls. :D

• (4 votes) What is your opinion on Love?
  

  To care about someone: To worry, and wish the best for them in all their life, you pick them up and help them when they’re down, and try you best to always support therm no matter what. Of course, then you also have to tell them the truth when they’re making a mess of things and need to step back and ask for help.
  
  To love someone: Pretty much the same as the first one, except much more deeply. The first one can be more tailored to friendship, where as this one some of defines a deep passion or involvement with something a little more. Like close family members, your children, etc.
  
  In love with someone: To give them your all, to have trust and faith in them. And above all to stand beside them through the rockiest of times, and make sure you see it through to the end, no matter what.
  
  Madly in love with someone: Unconditional, faithfulness, when you give them not just your all, but who you are, who you were, and everything you will be in the future. It’s KNOWING they’ll be there for you, and KNOWING you’ll be there for them whatever it takes, and whatever the sacrifice. It’s being able to know them inside and out and though you see the flaws, the things that spark up the most brightest traits about them wipes and outshines all the imperfections. It’s not being blind, but knowing you wouldn’t change them for the world. It’s true love really.

• (3 votes) To the Administrators and Moderators, all suicide posts need to be closed as soon as possible.
  

  Honestly, I can’t believe that there is a post or even a rule requesting to ignore people who are asking for help. We may not be “qualified” professionally to help someone in crisis, but sheesh, there has been many times where we’ve actually pulled people back from the edge here.
  
  None of us here are “qualified” to give some of the advice people ask for. We give emotional support and adice to a LOT of different subjects that sometimes even should be done by a therapist, (abuse, depression, even relationship advice) what the heck is so different about someone who’s hit rock bottom and have come to ask for help.
  
  Some people CAN’T talk to a hotline about the way they are feeling, if they could, they most likely wouldn’t be here. Heck, I’ve been in the situation myself where I’ve felt that badly to make a post here for some encouraging words and support, this place has saved my life, and my sanity at times. Now you’re going to turn people away from that? Come on. We’ve saved lives here in the past. How the hell are people supposed to get “help” from Help.com if they’re being turned away with “sorry, we don’t help with that”.
  
  It’s completely cruel and ignorant in my opinon. What the hell has happened with this place that we’ve turned into heartless drones?

• (2 votes) It’s no secret that this site is comprised of many people that endorse it with generosity, dependability, and honesty.
  

  Indeed well said, mills. I also have been a member for almost 2 years, and I remember when I would jump at the chance at any point to help whenever I can. I implemented myself on here hours upon hours trying to give people the proof that people care, and that people will listen, and try to give something in return. I felt needed when someone came and asked for our help, because they were asking us, to help.
  
  It’s a mighty thing when someone can turn to someone they don’t know and put their trust and honesty into us. I didn’t just feel proud for me, but I felt proud for the others who helped as well. What is sad to see, is that since the deterioation of the site recently, (or actually, it’s been 3 months already, even more disappointing) has meant that so many problems are falling on deaf ears, not just the administrator’s. I used to rely on going through the new post notices to be able to go back to what I’ve missed when I haven’t been able to be here. It made me able to reach out for many others. I assume I’m not the only one, because replies have decreased on posts immensely, and even replies on a fresh post are being left until it’s halfway down the page. Mainly because they have no idea a new post is THERE.
  
  What worries me is that some could be in dire trouble. Perhaps a crisis situation of emotional issues (I’m sure you know the type I’m talking about) and while in the past we’ve been able to save peoples lives by replying and giving instant support, it’s being left in the dust now, and that could be extremely dangerous. I’m scared that one day, we might not be aware that someone is once again in that position, and desperately needs our help, and we won’t be able to provide it for them if we don’t know what’s going on.
  
  I miss help and the way it used to be. When I felt a sense of hope coming here each day, and almost all day to do whatever I could emotionally, and practically. However nowdays, I find myself coming here out of hope that something will be changed, and it never is. It’s a sad, and empty feeling rather than feeling elated and useful.

  First off, this is the most racist post I’ve ever read. What does it matter that he’s muslim or if he was green with yellow polka-dots?
  
  Secondly, Don, I sincerely hope your daughters don’t get raped and they pass a law against abortion, because not only will you be suffering the cruel depression she will go through, but you’d be watching your daughter give birth to a child she will hate.
  
  I don’t believe abortion is my choice, however, who is the government to say what a woman’s rights are? Don’t answer that, it’s a rhetorical question.
  
  Thirdly, you have no right to tell people who to love. Neither does the government. God CREATED love. Therefore, I really don’t think it would be possible for God to instigate love in the wrong way. And Satan is incapable of love, or telling people who to love. King of makes me wonder who these right-wing nutcases in the government are REALLY worshipping behind closed doors. It certainly isn’t God.
  
  Lastly: You’re a troll. We don’t like trolls here. And we certainly don’t like racist bigots who have nothing intelligent to say. So get off your soapbox, go get a life, and stop dictating how others live theirs. Your type of people make me sick.

• I HAZ A NEPHEW!
  

  [quote Max]Best wishes to them:) Are you going to be “Grace the baby setter”, diaper thrower?
  You’ll probably his favorite Auntie:)[/quote]
  
  Hehe. I’m his only aunty. As for the babysitting, probably only when I get the chance to visit. They all live in a different state to me.
  
  
  [quote Dr. Ralph]Babies are the best! They make everyone smile, especially if they are relatives but not yours to feed and burp and change 24/7… I have 3 grandkids now and they are way better than kids. You play with them and send them home for mom and dad to deal with.[/quote]
  
  Heh. Actually, this is the forth, so I can agree with that wholeheartedly. I already have a step-nephew and two step-nieces previously, the newest is just biologically the first. I don’t think of them any different though, they’re still all family.
  
  [quote Penguin B☺y Brian]finally some good news on help.com,
  anyway congrats…again[/quote]
  
  I know! The funny thing is, at 5am yesterday, I received a call from a friend who’s had her son on the same day as my nephew too. Lol. They’re popping out everywhere it seems.
  
  Thank you all. :) Apparently my mom passed on slightly misunderstood info too. It was 10:18, not 10:15, and 5lbs 5 ounces, not 11. I hate hearing through the grapevine. Heh. I still don’t even know the official name yet. *sigh*

  [quote ~LazyDaze~]Nice one!
  Have they named him yet?[/quote]
  
  Well, there was talk throughout the pregnancy of boy names, and they settled on Hunter Hendrix. For the love of their WWE, and my brother’s love for classic rock. Whether that’s the name my sister-in-law has stuck with, I’m not sure. I’ll probably be updated more when it’s not midnight. Lol.
  
  Thank you, all. :)

• You may not know Bogdan.
  

  There was fish?? Darn it, I always miss out on the good stuff.
  
  Congratulations on getting married soon, and good luck with the move. I’ll miss you. :) Do stop in once in a while in the future if you can. I know that things here haven’t been the same as they used to be, but it would certainly be nice to see a quick hello.
  
  Take care of yourself, Bogdan. My well wishes and thoughts will be with you.

• Sombody to love!
  

  Well technically, you’re still jailbait to me. Plus, my guess would be you live on the other side of the world since I’m usually the only one crazy enough to be awake at 3am like it is now. Heh.
  
  My advice though, keep looking. There’s plenty of ladies out there looking for a guy like you. They’re just a little harder to find because in their preference to a guy…they’ll meet them in some spontaneous story-like way that one day they can tell their children and grandchildren about, and you’ll find them. So they’re pretty much waiting for you, rather than the other way around.
  
  Or maybe that’s just me…

  Haha. Definitely older than 17. Without the normal auto-refresh we used to have on the site, I didn’t see your reply until mine went through and I refreshed the page.
  
  I’m 23.
