i just don't understand....

first of all, i never used emotional blackmail, i never said anything before this other than the opportunity to send the words of encouragement, so before telling someone that they are doing something, you should look into it, doesn't take that long to get up to a few hundred hits per day, i have done more than that per day in less time. and how can i make you want to co-operate, can't make you do anything, maybe you should try to understand what is being said instead of jumping to conclusions and automatically think you know what is being asked?? maybe before making statements of accusation like that you should do a little research first? just me but that is usually something that a decent person will do before issuing hateful words, and besides those types of words are uncalled for, try thinking a bit more before issueing statements like that, might help in the future

Maybe you didn't use emotional blackmail before, but this artcile oozes of it.

rbailey - This message is to you. I can see perfectly why you are a 10 and Para is a 7 or whatever they are. This person is way out of line to talk to you that way! I, for one, would love to go to your website. I am so touched by sick children. I will do anything I can to help them. You keep on starting your discussions and just ignore some people.

that is very true, there is an aspect i didn't think of, not sure what to put, so what if i maybe had a suggestions section, something that might help people get started? do you think that might be helpful? i know what you mean about what to say when you yourself are discouraged by your own life, please believe me that i can understand that better than most. One thing i have found useful, and i bring this up not for the website but if you ever find yourself in a situation where words are needed but you can't think of anything, think about what you would like to hear someone tell you, what would make you feel better hearing from another person, and usually, with a few changes, you can use that to offer those words to the person in need, if you are in that situation. lol sorry if that doesn't make sense, best i can do to describe it but you never know when you might be in a situation where you feel you really want to offer some words but don't know what to say

oh lol sorry and thank you for pointing that out, if you hadn't i probably would never of even thought of that, again thank you, i am already working on how i can help overcome that issue

that is so very true, lol it's so much fun to revert back to a child yourself while you are playing with them, i love watching them use their imagination, and learning, they always seem to be able to bring a smile to your face even when you don't want to smile, lol and some of the stuff they do and come up with has you rolling on the floor laughing

thank you, i don't plan to give up, it may take some time, but it will be well worth it, and it doesn't cost me anything but a little bit of my time each day

good words

lol i got a chuckle about the chocolate bar for a song and poem recital, that is awesome, and definately good to hear she is on her way to recovery. thank you for sharing the story

hey there, thanks for the support, the address is www.forsickkids.bravehost.com

it's funny how that works, i wonder what triggers that type of reaction and behavior in us. if you want the site it is www.forsickkids.bravehost.com

Yes, there are some people like that and though it's sad we can do nothing to stop them from being how they are. Just don't worry, am sure many will leave amessage on your site. Just too bad for those who don't. It's up to them..I posted a message on your site, so try to be happy about that :) Am sure many more will follow!

thanks, lol not really worried about it, i guess more a question of curiosity and gaining insight from others, we're all so completely different from others, sometimes it is interesting to hear what others think about why some of us do or don't do certain things in life, and sometimes it can be a learning experience

what you say is very true, i am not referring to those who are unaware of the website, i am referring to those who have seen it, but pass it by, can't expect those who haven't seen it or who haven't heard of it to write anything, that's an impossible expectation,

thank you, i appreciate the kind words, and i know what you mean about money situation, i am on a fixed income as well, but sometimes money is not what is needed the most

Uuuppssss sorry, just saw ur link, but I can't open it though, will try again later...

i have noticed that about a lot of the children that have these illnesses, i wish i had half the strength and courage they do.

so in a way, we should help only to a certain extent, say to the point of where they are on their feet, but at that point pull back and be there as more of a supportive help than anything else, give them a nudge when they need it, but they need to be the ones to do it for themselves from that point on

do you think that in this world we live in today, we have become too selfish? we think more about ourselves, more often than we should? it's hard sometimes to put yourself in a train of thought to ways of helping the needy, or with how busy some people are to do things that take up a lot of time. If we were somehow able to organize our lives and everyone contributed to helping in some small way, do you think it would make enough of a difference to start seeing changes? or would those in need possibly get more lax and depend on us more because we are always there to help?
