Hello.
Okay i get it now.
We have people here who have no sense of humor, love that is a foreign word to them.
Friendship, it has no meaning to them.
Helping others, not going to happen in this life time.
Advice, they don't know what it mean.
Support, they think it's something to do with underwear.
Disagreements, they love it and make sure that a discussion they don't like get deleted.
Who are you?
Are you human and sane?
Creepy.

I think I am human, therefore I am sane.
Oh, come on! That can't be right ... let me look it up ... Oooo! A shiny thing that says I got a reward of 17 cents! [dances round the room] ... 17 cents? What's that in real money? 10p? Nobody in their right mind would rejoice at finding 10p!
I think I am insane, therefore I must be human!
Seriously, though. I know who and what I love: people in general (and some in particular) are all worthy of love. It is what they sometimes do which is less than loveable. Often one has to bear in mind that these less-than-perfect things are not done out of malice but rather out of ignorance. They need help, advice and support and often get it from me. There are some, however, who don't like being helped - they see it as criticism - and they regard my advice as the rantings of an interfering busybody. They clearly don't want my support (or anyone's), so I leave them to it ... and to the decision of the Administrator.

Hi sweetie.
You think?
I have never seen anyone rejoicing finding 10p.
Anyway, most seem to be thinking with the big toe and not the brain God so graciously bestowed upon them.
A shame actually.
I know you always give good advice, but some think they know better.
I believe if you don't really need help or advice, DON'T ask for it.
Thanx.

Everyone thinks is healthy( mentally).
It is true that sometimes we are not a good time but we are generally good-humored.
If you see someone who is always in a bad mood, you can believe that the person must have some unresolved problem.
But beware, you dont c onfuse good humor with good character.
i can( personally) support anyone bad-tempered at times.. but living with someone like this.. i could not.
My ex-husband is like this.... and you see why he is " EX"??? lolol

Are we picking on the Blonds again? I think this is going to have to be our next Civil Rights protest. No more using the B-word,Vandana! It is not politically correct(or it won't be soon)and it is offensive. We are yellow-haired people and no more jokes can be told publicly or to our faces or behind our backs.

I believe, I'm having a normal healthy mind, but not extremely reasonable all the time. I would like to be more human than sane because I know I can't show good judgment all the time. I have faults,sometimes I'm very sensible, sometimes I'm so rude. It depends on how I'm being treating by others, surrounding environments and so on. I love to exercise humanity, not sanity. Because I can never be all good but I can be good most of the time and this is known as humanity to me. When I know I can't be as neutral as water so why I'll practice it! It's like cheating with myself to me. Rather I try to work on my devil parts so that I can improve me from good to better, better to best but never perfect. Because I want to stay as human not want to be a fairy. I try to appreciate good works(sometimes I fight with my mind for that) but I do. Human do mistakes but they have courage to criticize and correct themselves but they are not perfect because they are human. And I'm human.

Hi sweetie.
You sure sound human to me.
It all depends on how we are treated, that determine our mood.
I think my devils got the better of me, though.
Seems i'm uncontrollable lately.
Humans can never be perfect sweetie.
That i have learned a long time ago.
Thanx.

The real answer for me is that many are scared to communicate. Many of us feign that we do, but we don't. I generally say what I mean, and sometimes couch what I say in what I consider to be diplomatic language. I am also very lucky at work in that I have a colleague who reads from the same script. That may sound corny, but we have, over time, worked several years together. We can even complete each others sentances.
I'd take a bullet or three for her.
Outside of that, some are unable to read a slightly worded remark, and you need to be brash with them. Others are overly abrasive to me when all I needed was a gentle reminder: so they cannot read people.
My partner tells me that I am good at reading people from their mannerisms and a few words.
I have recentlty left the US site SodaHead. There were many people who had great opinions posted on site, but there was so much political hatred on the site that the atmosphere was toxic. I could site historic events to justify my discussion and was dismissed as naive or left wing (I vote conservative UK). I don't need their contact, and if they want to propel the US into some sort of new colonialism I'd rather that they did not take us with them.

Hi sweetie.
Seems they are scared, but why?
It's good to have someone at work who gets it.
Doesn't sound corny at all.
Almost sound like mylor lately, that site.
This have to stop if we still want this site to be a great one.
Thanx.

I can't believe it took you 6000+ to see this.
I am not one of these people and I wish we could vote them out of here.

Hello saph,
Know what? All the things you described are necessary for survival in mylotland. Never dare to put up a post that is sure to be controversial. Either you will fall in the public(?) wrath or the post would get deleted.
I have learnt some tricks though.

Well, Saphy, I may be a little boring, but I do not believe I am a kill joy. I do not necessarily believe I am sane, or I would not have done some of the things I have.

Totally agree. It is irritating when you try to be nice and the other person gets offended and starts scolding you.
If more people are understanding and have a more give and take attitude, the world will be a nicer place. Humor really helps to make things livelier (Unless of course you come face to face with someone who has no sense of humor)

Hello saphrina,
Don't know what to say but i am saying. I am confused but i understand. Well, i am human but sometimes felt insane. But really, a wishful thinking, perhaps this guy is in bitter state and cant find a way to burst it out other than doing things like that in here.
But still happy myLotting!
