SL Join Date: July 29, 2006 | 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. Last edited by Arilynn; 10-06-2008 at 11:31 PM. Reason: English! Who needs it?! |

Opera not Oprah!
| 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

My Mood:  SL Join Date: July 2007 Client: Viewer 3   | 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!

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* | ||||

Come sit on my lap.
| 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.

Business: Timetwist by A2NZ Client: Official Viewer | /me takes a deep breath. A couple of months ago, I thought my social anxiety had gone the way of the dodo. Since I'm unemployed, it's slowly creeping back up and I don't know how to stop it.  I have to find a truckload of documents for the job center and have to fill lots and lots of forms, so that's probably the trigger.

Business: Peregrine Salon | It is at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. Same pay grade, but less crazy hours, around more technical people (I'm around none now <frown>), lots of vacation and benefits, great environment, free grad school... win win win! I'll be working for Wharton Research Data Services, and playing with all kinds of cool tech and REALLY BIG SETS OF DATA (10 gigs new per month, heh). Yes, data gets me hot. Thanks for the kind words! I'm really excited! Regards, -Flip |
