Hi Becca,

This forum is so big now. I as a group leader get up to 300 posts a day.

I am so happy to see you, again. I also saw it was a little slow earlier, today. Just jump in and make yourself known. You have a lot to share. AS you can see with over 1100 memebers, you are not alone, anymore!! LOL

God Bless,Gypsy

Hey, Becca, sorry that I have taken so long to respond to this, like the other leaders here, sometimes I have trouble keeping up with all the posts, I am a leader in other groups as well, plus a member in others, depending on how active the groups are, my folder for this one alone can be between 200 and 500 per day, since returning to work, my computer time has become limited.. weekends, which I have off as a rule are spent trying to catch up on house work, spend time with family and try to be on here, there are occasions that I have to just delete the day priors posts, and start again on the new ones for the day, sometimes I get called into work, giving me just one day to get caught up..lol..

I am sorry that you feel you have been ignored, I don't want anyone to ever feel that way, there are times I have made posts or comments in a post that I have felt were just ignored, I try and understand that each person here might not have either felt the need or were to busy to respond... Hugs my darling friend, and know that you are loved, if you can't catch someone in the groups to talk with, my pm is always open and available, those are one of the first things I catch.. sometimes I will start at the bottom of all my notifications, and just open tabs for them, and then delete anything that came in after those, as the bottom link will cover it all, I've had over 50 tabs open in my browser..lol, drives hubby nuts if he comes in to get on the computer for something and here are all these tabs open, we use firefox, and it opens, like a new window for each new link you click on..

Even though the group does have a fast pace, I see that I just need to jump right in there. I've had a terrible few days, and y'all have really been there for me. I want to thank you for that. I think my depression is lifting some, but I'm utterly exhausted from lack of sleep. I'm trying to make a lot of decisions too, like whether to go ahead and file for disability. I've entertained the thought of going back to work, but I just don't think I can do it. If I don't go back to work, we'll be really broke until (if) I get approved for SSDI. I feel like I've been in a whirlwind for months over this decision, and decision-making is NOT one of my skills right now. I can't even pick a restaurant! Anyway, thanks so much for the support this weekend.

Becca, if you are going to file, I would not put it off any longer, it can take forever sometimes, so the sooner the better, Gypsy can give you some good leads and information on what you can do..

Oh Miss Deep Deepitty deep deep deep - I wish it were as obvious to you as it is to me.... you most definitely ARE NOT boring (far from it my friend!!!)

Becca - YOU EITHER!!!!!!!

I felt like I couldn't keep up with the posts and messages when I first got here too beccaboo. What I do now is I keep another window open with my Yahoo account constantly running. Everytime there's a new post, message or comment, the little envelope pops up letting me know I have mail. I just click the tab to get yahoo, click on the message, click on the link and PRESTO..... instant transport to the post, comment or message!!!! Try it - I bet you'll feel like you're keeping right up in NO TIME AT ALL!!!!! : ) Kim

Last night things got to flying around here so fast, I could not keep up with it, I open up all messages in my browser, emptying out the folder, and by the time I get 5 or 6 answered or read, there is a whole bunch more, some of them where it's a new post, others are posts that have been added to groups I have already read, and now have to go back and read the new ones.. I gave up and went to bed, only to find over two hundred notifications in my file for this one site.

Thanks for the advice Carmen. My husband is up for a fantastic job, but our finances have to be squeaky clean for him to get it and keep it. So I feel guilty. If I don't work, we're going to have to file Ch.13, and that will keep him from the job of a lifetime. He'll never blame me for it, but I blame myself. I'm just ready to pack up, file for disability, file ch. 13, move back into our smaller (rental) house, let this bigger house go, let one of the cars go, and just be poor until the SSDI comes in. Maybe that's too much information, but it is what is on my mind constantly. It distresses me but not to the point of thinking it would be better if I weren't around ( as I felt for a while.) What to do, what to do...I just have no idea.
