that is quite the responsible posting Suze. very respectable & caring of you! modern communication via f.b., cel phones, twitter (x), instagram, etc. is a catastrophic epidemic & disaster. especially when 2 people are talking & i disappears after being asked a question. & then, said person may not respond for weeks!!! holy heavens! by course, people are excused when working or tasking, but when you ask a question & some disappears, that's crummy. i perform well with these people. i never talk to them again. perfect example; last August, a friend called me & wanted to initiate a band. he's a decent guitarist & sings good enough. so we explored opportunities. i placed the ads. 1 day, i called him & asked how it went with a certain bass player. he said, "i don't want to play with him because he didn't respond". i said to him, "carl, i asked you a question this a.m. when we were conversing & you didn't answer me back". he says, "well,. i'll answer when i get a chance". hahaha! double standard!!! still, it occurred a 2nd time with someone else!!! then, on another situation, another bassist who's really good, told me he didn't want to play with with carl in a band because he's to authoritative. so this guy really wants to be in a band but he destroys opportunities thru the double standard. he even travels to other cities looking for band work. we all have our top 10 things in life we dislike the most. someone disappearing in a conversation is on my list. truly, i never talk to them unless it's something of an emergency. imagine years ago when 2 people were talking on land line phones; there was never someone disappearing then. it was always 1 person who was the 1st to say "bye" & then the other, no disrespect or waiting & wondering!!!

Karlon , I will never deliberately ignore u , I may forget about u for a short while but I will always reply ..... eventually . I have to b honest , I love texting and e mailing . I like to respond to people when I know that I have plenty of time , so I can give them my full and proper attention . It drives me crazy when someone phones me just because they have nothing to do and they assume that i don't either 😬 . I only ever phone someone if I have something very important to tell them , something urgent that won't b appropriate to say over text or e mail . My step sister ( if I allowed her ) would phone me and take up 45 mins of my time telling me what she ate for her dinner 🙄 . Nope , that's not for me , I'm over 50 and very aware that life is short and my time is valuable to me even if not to anyone else . Thanks for introducing yourself to me , I appreciate your time and energy and I will never ever ignore u 😜 .

Welcome, Suze!

Thanks for the info , may I ask ,what is the difference , in this site for people who have paid a subscription and for those who haven't ?

When you click the notifications' icon, that little bell in the middle of the icons at the upper
right hand side of the page, it usually shows you only the newest, most recent ones, but at
the bottom of the app, it says "Show all" so you could click that and look to see if you have
missed anything you might want to respond to... of course many of them may only be reactions,
so what you would want to keep an eye out for would be anyone quoting a post you made...

Not me.
It's not that I'm trying to be unkind, it's just that I decided long ago to work on the Christian virtues ONE AT A TIME.
I just never made my way down the list to patience.

I have managed to be kind to children, so I don't get a millstone tied around my neck.
(Some kids really deserve a kick in the pants, but I've held myself back.)

Anyway, the whole thing has been really slow going.
