Okay I've posted quite a bit. I have noticed that my posts get ignored or looked over? Is it something I said or did? Do I smell? *sniffs*? What is it? I don't get it. I thought I was being an active participant and responding to posts, etc? Am I just supposed to sit back and shut up or what?
Lady, I'm not sure what you mean. I've looked over the threads you started, and they've all been answered except for the whole-wheat one. (if I can think of an answer, I'll reply. )
Sometimes it takes a bit of posting to "fit in" to some of the threads. This is a huge forum, and sometimes people get lost in the shuffle. We don't want that to happen to you!
I get ignored on occasion, too. We all do.
What you could do is find a couple of forums that really interest you, and post an introduction. Tell the group you'd like to join them.
I'm glad you asked instead of just leaving... there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with you, hon. We're glad to have you here.
Aw thanks. yeah I know I've gotten a few responses. I guess your right, just takes time for everybody to get to know everybody, esp. in a large community like this one. I guess I just have no patience at all! lol. Oh no I don't wanna leave! There is so many great supportive people here and great advice and tips to leave! I figured I would just come right out and ask! lol. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I will try to be more patient!
Hehe I feel like that sometimes, too, FLady! Either that, or I feel like I'm the Official Thread Killer (very often threads just sort of die immediately after I post).
Sometimes I don't have enough time to formulate a response AND get it typed in. I tend to make really loooooooong answers, because I find brevity sometimes leads to misunderstanding in internet communications. I try to compensate for the lack of gestures and vocal inflections by using more (and more) words to illustrate my points. Oh dear... I seem to have done it again...
Or, sometimes, I don't feel I have anything useful to contribute, and just a "Yeah, I agree" doesn't seem very constructive. Although, on ocasion, maybe that's exactly what someone wants to hear! I know I like to hear it!

There ya go. It happens to old Lena, too. I'll bet there is a TON of people here who feel that way on occasion. But I'm all for laying your feelings on the table. You go, girl!

This has happened to me alot as well. I try to look at it as my answer was the best answer possible so no one needs to reply, there's nothing left to say. That usually makes me feel better about killing threads.
I read alot on here, but I don't read every single thread. That would take me just too much time unfortunately. I try to answer every thread that I have something to say or know something about. Sometimes that isn't a whole lot. Other times I get diarrhea of the keyboard and just keep typing and then end up with a long reply that isn't really necessary.
Aw thanks you gals. I guess it happens to us all at times. I really have enjoyed my time here and I hope to be an "old timer". I even want to stay here after I lose the weight. *see how I did a positive thought there?* lol.
Flady, I wouldn't sweat it. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to find a thread where you fit in. I have been on a couple here and there where I'd post something and would hear crickets, tumbleweed, etc, but others where I felt comfortable right away and always got responses. I'm glad that you're sticking around here!
Hey, sorry If I have posted in ur threads, but to be honest I feel the same way, Ive been here a little while now, but still I seem to 'kill' threads, my posts/threads get over looked, and I feel like in a post within a group's forum I feel like Im interfering and I cant keep up with the clique, so I have resided to trolling, reading, looking for advice and posting what I know or is relavent.
This cracked me up because I had just mentioned to a friend on another board that I'm the official thread killer there. I was joking around that people must be too scairt to post after me, or they just don't "git" what I'm trying to say.
I will do my nest to respond to everything that catches my interest, without getting too high on my soapbox. I tend to do that.
Let me kill it
I just wanted to add that although I'm a pretty frequent poster, sometimes if what I think has already been said, I don't add anything.
And I don't really chat, I just sort of respond.
Just join in conversations that are already going. I only recall one time that my question did not get answered and I was popping into a 'plan' thread that had nothing to do with me.

ChefBran, I love that! I'll have to remember that next time I get no replies.
What's Wrong w/ me?
