    which mod blacklisted me? 🙂 none of my posts are being posted! 🙂

    Would be easier to ask which one didn’t 😉

    #677678

    (this will be up for all you night owls to see)

    MANY of your posts do not go through due to the following reasons.

    1. Improper or no punctuation (Jax, if you want to use a !, use it once.)

    2. Lack of spell-checking (teen er, Aussieboy, read your posts before submitting, its Moish not Mnoish)

    3. Kapusta, please use capital letters when appropriate, use space when appropriate, and start new paragraphs when appropriate.

    4. We do not appreciate people’s own character signs 🙂

    mod39: Sorry. I do try to use proper pronunciation as much as possible but letter sometimes get mixed in. Ill try harder though.

    #677680

    It only takes 10 sec to read the post before clicking “send post”. Those 10 sec will save EVERYONE a lot of hassle

    mod, I really try to use appropriate spelling, punctuation, etc. in my posts. Does this mean that I have to get rid of my signature (~a~)?

    mod39: so i guess no signature for me anymore!(just 1)

    #677683

    Your use of a signature is fine. The smiles (especially multiple ones, and the $ at the end of posts really get to the mods

    mod, I apologize, if it really bothers you I guess I’ll have to stop. And when I’m on a role, who’s thinking about punctuation?!?! (man, this isn’t easy!)

    Thank you, Mr. Moderator. I’m so relieved that I haven’t been blacklisted.

    Can I ask why a signature is better?

    Sounds like my smile is gone…anyone have anything to recommend?

    Mr. Moderator, that’s really very kind of you to help kapusta come up with a new signature.

    #677691

    Ms Queen, the natives are revolting. You probably should go incognito for a bit (hint, hint)

    #677693

    Since you are not to quick on the subtle. Stop with the queen title.

    Sorry mod, I just saw that now

    if you insist…

    Mod, I would’ve dropped it at some point anyway, it was too long.

    kapusta: the blue hurts my eyes! can you keep it just black-it’ll be easier to do it anyways!

    kapusta, let me teach you a little trick. It’s called copy and paste. This is how it goes. You select the text that you want to copy *kapusta*, then you press Ctrl+C. When you’re ready to paste the text in the second location, all you have to do is Ctrl+V. This way you don’t have to retype the whole thing.

    Ok, as per your request Jax!

    anonymisss, would the blue copy? not that it makes much of a difference anymore, but thanx for the heads up!

    *kapusta*

    So…?

    kapusta: The blue would copy but you need to copy it before you post it.

    When you copy the whole thing with the < > then yes, it would copy.

    mod39: Your english right? What time is it there? Did you change the clocks ahead yet?

    #677706

    5 hours ahead of NY (yes, we are on Daylight Savings Time as well)

    In that case, can I ask where GMT comes in? Is that what it is when DST is not in place?

    *kapusta*

    #677708
    aussieboy
    Participant

    What is GMT?

    #677709

    We are currently GMT +1

    It would be disasterous to change “GMT” as it would muck up all the equations i.e. NY being GMT -5 during the winter

    Mod, I hope at least you understand what you’re saying, because I certainly don’t. (At least not for 6 am.)

    i missed all the hangman fun last night because i was on the phone with my friend. i feel so bad for her she just found out that her family is moving to Israel at the end of this school year. i didn’t know what to tell her. Not fair to her, that’s all i could say.

    #677720

    That’s really tough for her, moish. It’s not easy to pick up and move at this stage in the game, (I’m assuming she’s around 16, too.) The best thing to do is to listen and sympathize. You can also be supportive and encouraging, NOT by saying things like, “It’s gonna be awesome!” or, “You’ll love it there!” I have found that the best way to give someone the strength to rise to a challenge is by reminding the person about another time that they did have a lot of strength and did ___________, and then saying something along the lines of, “and I believe that you have the strength in you to tackle this challenge like that time.” Maybe then you can ask her which aspect of living in Israel she thinks she might be able to like and building from there. It’s a really big, hard challenge that we can’t even begin to understand when we’re standing with two feet solidly planted on US soil. Tell her the CR wishes her lots of success and strength in dealing with it!

    Hmm… I wrote something else first. Mod, I know you don’t appreciate when people do this, can you just tell me if my post was deleted or it didn’t go up yet?

    Thanks a bunch,

    anonymisss, i don’t play shrink. God, i’m upset she’s going too and i really feel bad for her. there’s no way it’s gonna be “awesome” that’s all i can say. don’t know what her parents are thinking. and she’s not 16, she’s younger than that. (14 or 15- i forget)

    There you go, moish.
