Somebody Cares

Sometimes in the Nobody Cares thread someone makes a post that people truly do care about. Things like loss and love and illness. They really don't belong in Nobody Cares because honestly, most of us do care when others are in pain.

So if it's possible, I'd like to have this thread stickied, so people can post the things that others do care about, and get the support that all of us want to give.

I think that is a great idea, Brig. It would allow people to post things that they want to disclose and get support from others without starting a new thread. And it would allow "Nobody cares" to be about more trivial/minor ranty/random stuff.

I like it Brig.

I gave up trying to keep up with Nobody Cares simply because it's so big. But something like this would be great.

This is a typical Brig thread. I came to the conclusion long ago that even if no-one else cared Brig would.....because she is like that. A compassionate lady with a heart of gold and I am proud to know her.

Also she has blue pills and knows when to use em

Brig you are lovely you know.

I often think it's sad when someone posts something in Nobody Cares about bereavement or illness, because many people never see it, and have no idea that one of their forum friends is going through something painful in RL.

Good idea I say!

This thread is a lovely idea.

I have good news too - our Central bank just lowered official cash interest rates by a whole percent, which makes my newly solo mortgage a much more affordable prospect.

You all are too good to me. Thank you.

I'm also glad you all like the idea of this thread. I read something in Nobody Cares last night that really broke my heart, and it occurred to me that there was no way it belonged in a trivial thread like that one. Most of the people in SLU *do* care about what the others are going through, and it would be nice to have a place to offer their support. I hope Cris will sticky this for that reason.


ps...*hands Humpy a blue pill and winks*

I've been thinking about you. I hate that you're going through such a tough time right now. But WOOT on the lower interest rate! That'll be a big help.

Congrats Flip, does it involve meeting Robert Smith again?

And Circle, that's great, anything that makes the upheaval a bit more bearable.

The whole point of Nobody Cares is just for random posts that haven't a need for a thread. It's not that nobody cares, it's just the title.

It's ok guys, we do care.

So then this is the yang to the yin of Nobody Cares. The positive to the negative. The balance that can be brought to the force. All can be right with the world now.
