An apology is in order...

[laylah]

I reached out for help last evening and reacted like a spoiled child when responses didn't come as fast and furiously as I wanted. Right now...my life sucks...but then, many of us have problems. There was no excuse (numerous reasons but no excuse) for my behaviour and I just want to apologize to all.

[Danger Mouse]

1. No need to apologize...

:hug: seems with all the crap going on in GD and the Lounge last night, some other people have a lot more apologizing to do :D

[laylah]

2. Thanks

you :hug: I get cranky then feel guilty when I take it out on others. Seem to be doing that a lot more lately and don't like myself when I do. As for what others do, GD should come with a warning :rofl:

[Danger Mouse]

3. A disclaimer wouldn't be a bad idea.

Anyway, we all have our moments when we take it out on others...it's tough because we feel horrible about ourselves when we do.
Not sure what happened, but we're a forgiving bunch. :hi:

[I Have A Dream]

4. laylah...

I hope that you're feeling better today. :hug:

[laylah]

6. Thanks...

:hug: Thanks. As me ol' ma used to say, "this too shall pass". Don't like myself when I am hateful, though, as it is so against my nature.

[styersc]

5. Laylah, I'm a pseudo-newbie, in that I'm a member of no

DU cliques and no very few posters, but I could offer a piece of advice from observation. If you want to get a response, at least in the last few days, you have to put "Harry Potter" in the title of your thread. Either that or "Lap Dance" and you will actually get tired of all the responses.

[laylah]

7. A Harry Potter lapdance?

:rofl: Thanks for your response. I don't post, as in start threads, often because I tend to insert my size 6 foot into my size 30 mouth. Many good folks here, especially in the Lounge. I DO hear what you are saying, tho', and find it to be frustrating at times.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

40. Dirty Rotten Spoiler!!!

Not all of us have gotten to the bit in the book where Harry gets a LapDance. Well, now that you've spoiled it, does he use the Invisiblity Cloak for that?

:rofl:

[laylah]

42. ooops!

:rofl: Skinner's gonna get me! :scared:

[billyskank]

8. Baaahhhh forget it :)

:hug:

[laylah]

10. ...

:hug: You are a dear, billy.

[Ptah]

9. I wish I could help your life suck less

[laylah]

11. Ptah dear...

you just did. The picture made me smile. :hug: Thank you.

[Guava Jelly]

12. We all go through that

I am guilty of it as well.
Never apologize unless you hurt someone or made a mistake...you did niether.
So rest easy k :D

[laylah]

13. There you are!

:hug: Thanks for your support last night. You're a dear.

[Guava Jelly]

14. anytime

:hug:

[Omphaloskepsis]

15. Well, how about this...

I will post some outrageous shit in a few hours. Followed up with so much snark and kitten shit that your indiscretion will be forgotten by noon. (PST)

[laylah]

16. What a bud!

:hug: :rofl:

[rockymountaindem]

19. Way to take one for the team n/t

[wildhorses]

17. i didn't even notice ---

:hug:


now then, don't give it another thought;)


edited cos i can't type without :donut: :hi:

[laylah]

18. Good morning!

:hug: For me, this mercury in retrograde stuff has been a killer...and it was supposed to have ended a week ago. That's me...day late, dollar short. Thanks for responding last eve and today. I am just looking for that light at the end of the tunnel. Adversity makes us strong but this is getting old...old I tell ya~! =)

[Joe Fields]

20. You never know about the lounge, laylah.

I see a lot of silly "poor me" threads that have a hundred responses, and then just plain silly threads that get as many. Then, I see someone, like yourself who get almost no reaction and I think, "wtf?" It's hard to ask for help, and it's a kick in the teeth when you reach out and no one seems to really care. This lounge is schizophrenic. Please try not to take it personally.

[laylah]

22. awwwwww Joe

what a dear :hug: Right now I take everything personally, but that is my issue. Yes, reaching out is hard, very hard for me, actually. I usually hold so much very close to my chest, as the saying goes. Thanks for responding.

[datasuspect]

21. pick and choose

there are several good people around here. be very picky and very choosy.

[laylah]

23. Yes

there ARE several good folks around here. I just had a meltdown last night and reacted inappropriately, in my opinion. :hug: Thanks for responding and I will definitely take your good advice.

[buddhamama]

24. i missed your thread of yesterday

i am sorry your life sucks right now. you're obviously hurting and the fact that others have problems too, doesn't detract from what you are going through. comparative suffering sucks. i hope your situation improves. take care. :hug:

[laylah]

25. ..

:hug: Thank you for your kind words, buddhamama.

[stuntcat]

26. I was looking

because I'd wanted to say something good but it started looking like an argument so I kept quiet. But now I wished I said something because good vibes were needed anyway, so here's some late wishes.. I hope you start feeling better. When things start to get bad for me they can spiral down sometimes, I have to remember that depression is pointless and unhealthy.. "turn that frown upside down" or whatever other silly stuff :hug:

[laylah]

27. What a sweetie.

Yes, it did turn rather ugly, as did I, for which I am truly sorry. :hug: Thank you for your kind words. As my baby, "Kaghime" says, I'm a tough old bird; however, this bird is getting worn down. This too shall pass, what doesn't kill me will make me stronger, silver lining in every dark cloud, and all that stuff.

[stuntcat]

31. "what doesn't kill me will make me stronger"

I learned to repeat that to myself a lot :pals: some of the silly sayings are true.

[BarenakedLady]

28. I'm sorry I wasn't here yesterday

:(

I hope you are feeling better.

:hug:

[datasuspect]

29. you weren't here yesterday?

you missed this and THE OTHER THING!!!!!

OMG!!!!1111

[BarenakedLady]

30. Oh noes!

What thing!!!!!111!!!!

:scared:

[laylah]

34. silly goose...

:rofl:

[laylah]

33. ...

:hug: Thanks for the kind words.

edited to add the thanks was for bnl.

[SPKrazy]

32. Hey laylah, no need to apologize

we all have our moments and I felt bad that I hadn't been on to see your post earlier.

:hug:

[laylah]

35. As always

the dear:hug: Actually, I am embarrassed that ANYONE saw that post last night. I feel I have had more of "those moments" these past few months than in the previous 55 years of my life...just gettin' old and cranky, I guess.

[DS1]

36. Well bless your heart

;-)

[Droopy]

37. That's cool laylah. You're alright

We all blow our tops from time to time and I saw that from your other thread you were having a rough time to begin with so it's perfectly understandable. Maybe you needed to do that. Anger isn't a good thing, but it's even worse to live with it bundled up inside with no release. Metallica has a song titled "St. Anger" and it's all about releasing anger in a healthy way and I do believe you did just that. Nobody got hurt. :)

My offer stands from the other thread. If you ever need to talk or even fight then just send me a pm. I'm usually on mostly on the weekend, but I will get back to you sooner or later if you send me a message through the week. I hope today is going better for you. :hi:

[laylah]

39. Awwwwww

Droopy! :hug: Thank you so much for your kind words and offer to "chat". I just may take you up on it.

[Wetzelbill]

38. no need to apologize

We all have our bad days. We all understand the stresses of life. It's only human to let it get to you a little. If it didn't well then that would be a problem. We all vent and we all snap at others from time to time. Even the best of us do. Obviously you're having a tough time with various issues right now, you are allowed some leeway in venting your frustrations. What it comes down to, is that most of us recognize that and most of us care about you. If not as a friend, but, at least, as a fellow human being. Maybe there isn't an excuse for your behavior, but there are definitely valid reasons for it. You can't discount those factors, and it's only proper for us, as supporters, to empathize with that. You maybe snapped back a little quick, but given your frustration that's only natural. What isn't natural is to have been a jerk to you in return, that lack of empathy is in poor relation to what we all, as progressives, proclaim to be our ideals. But yes, most of us do care for and support you, and we do wish you the best in everything. :) Stay strong!

[laylah]

41. Wetzelbill!

One of my fave DUers :hug: Yes, no excuses, many reasons. I did snap too quickly and my skin has thinned these past few months. Thanks for being there and for the kind words.

[Wetzelbill]

44. oh you are too kind

I suppose I have my moments of clarity. :) I am glad you like me, it's mutual. I'm always glad to be there for you. :)

[applegrove]

43. We all have bad days. Hope your days are looking up!

[laylah]

45. Not yet but they will...

:hug: Thank you.
