Hi@Sunnyside226

There is absolutely no need to apologise at all.  You did nothing wrong and it was just unfortunate that an auto correct error caused the confusion and caused you such stress.  I think most of us here have had those times when we've gotten so upset or stressed about something, that we just feel that strong urge to just disappear for a little bit.  So you're  not alone in that.

Everybody here will tell you the exact same thing, to not be sorry, we are all just happy to know that the confusion has been resolved and you're still here with us.  We are all happy to chat with you if you ever feel like it. 

Do you have anything nice planned for the weekend?

[Sunnyside226]

@MJG017  I was more upset as to why people were giving me phone numbers  

It's not like I said I was going to end myself    if someone  had just asked me Frist  about the words I might of not been very cranky upset.   It's all good   

For the weekend I don't know yet   today I'll just  play cod might,     

You have plans?

@Sunnyside226

I foolishly decided to start taking my office apart at about 9pm tonight to move everything into the granny flat to have it all set up in there.  My parner used to use it as her home office, but she doesnt work from home much anymore so we're making it the computer room.  So tomorrow is finishing the move which is currently half done... and then i still need to re connect everything.... and its supposed to be 36° here tomorrow.  So its been a great bit of planning on my part 🙂

Ive started playing the PC reaster of Red Dead Redemption.  I played it all the way through on the Xbox, but now after all these years, I can finally play it on PC like I did with RDR2.  So my first plan is to get the PC back up and running again.

Are you playing COD6 online or doing the single player campaign?

[Sunnyside226]

@MJG017  that sounds hot  where you are    hope the granny flat has air conditioning 

I play cod online play vs people   depends on how I feel  I stayed up all on Tuesday  night    I've also got another game I haven't touched it yet  

I finished playing walking dead  4 weeks ago.   

question for you  if Can answer 

If I say I'm feeling suicidal or anything does that mean I have to say safe?  If I just wanted to talk about it?   I'm not saying I am just wondering  sorry 

[MJG017]

@Sunnyside226  It DEFINITELY has air conditioning!  I would melt without it 😁  The other advantage is it overlooks the pool and there are some ducks who have made it home so we feed them.  They wait by the door if the food bowl is empty, and even peck at the glass to get noticed.  If the door is open, they come walking in to let me know they're hungry.

What is the other game you havent touched yet?  I havent played online against people in years.  I think everyone would just be too good for me now.

If you want to just talk about suicide, then its probably a good idea to put a warning first because some people here do have struggles with it so its good to put a warning so they can avoid reading it if they dont want to.

Other than that its okay to talk about, and its something that we should be able to talk about if there are questions or things you just want to know   It is a good idea to just add in that you are safe or however you want to say it, just so no one gets the wrong idea.  It is a serious subject and it is good to talk about, but just let people know you're good if you do want to chat about it   if you do, it may be a good idea to see if there is already a discussion about it you could join, or just start a new one.  Its totally up to you though.  If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Yeah the pain has been bad so I'm glad it's going to be dealt with. It's a normal operation for women my age. 

I'm happy to interview deeply the next person who pushes a blood pressure thing near me.

Omg ducks @MJG017  so cute  

The game is dead rising    

Yeah I know lots of people here have suicidal thoughts etc  it's hard to know when you have to say tw   I'll be honest some people think everything is triggering   but  if they say something  about suicide or something there's no tw or anything that's what is hard  is to know what rule and when to say it   

I'm not trying to put people down or anything it's just hard to know because someone might say oh that's triggering but  if they something   it's ok.  I won't say anything I was just wondering when someone had to put tw 

You have cats right?   

[MJG017]

@Sunnyside226  The best part about the ducks is when they have babies and we have a bunch of ducklings in the pool.

We have 2 cats.  One of them will sit by the glass door and stare out at the ducks  and the other birds that hang around.... especially when there's some food in the bowl for the ducks.

I've only been here since earlier this year and found the whole trigger thing difficult as well.  There are so many trigger words i never even knew about!

As for the warnings, I dont think its a gard rule, more of a courtesy to others.  So people general will, and should, use the warnings but sometimes either forget or are upset enough that they are just struggling enough to just get their words out to even think of other things like trigger warnings at the time.  I hope that makes it clearer... its good to do, and highly recommended, but understood that it wont always happen.  If you try to post anything with a trigger word in it that is in a list, you will get a warning to change it before it will be posted.  This is an extra but of protection but not 100% detecting everything.  So dont worry too much about it, just include a warning if youre not sure but its okay if you dont, or forget to.  If a post needs editing a mod will probably do a small edit for you.  But thats is usually more for possible identifying information that someone may post... i know because I've accidentally done that a few times!  😃

There is a bit of stuff here to get used to because of the kind of forum this is compared to other online places.  I'm still learning and getting better at the trigger words thing but people will politely give a reminder if something posted is too wrong, but as youve seen, its not the end of the world if you do write something a bit triggering for some people.

OMG @PeppyPatti so sorry to hear this bad news. I hope you will be ok. It doesn't sound good but you are obviously a bit of a trooper. That, and having your major dental stuff in the wings. IDK. Stay strong! Thinking of you lovely lady ❤️
