It's not delivery -- it's Digornio.  And it's not a list -- it's a
newsgroup.

This isn't a list.   It's a newsgroup.  And you are going to find people
with varying opinions.  Since this is an unmoderated alt.* newsgroup then
people can speak as they please.
Kathy - 10 Dec 2003 02:37 GMT
LMAO @ Alex.... sorry, I had to laugh... thought of the commercial.

Alex is right, sorry to say because all these NG's are all
unmoderated.... unfortunately, we all have to put up with some
nonsense once in a while :-)

Kathy,

   Uh, actually there ARE some NGs that ARE moderated.  Such as some of the
genealogy NGs.  I can tell you first hand that this IS true, because I've had
posts to some of them rejected because of a missed punctuaion mark or some other
such silly nonsense. . .And unfortunatly the so called "moderaters" of these
groups choose to pass this job off to software rather then to do the job that
they said that they would do. . .

Kathy - 11 Dec 2003 03:15 GMT
DC,

Actually I know this.... I belong to a few that are moderated :-)

   Then why make the statement "Alex is right, sorry to say because all these

Kathy,

   That's ok, I kind of figured as much which is why I included the ";-)" at
the end.  And unlike some here I don't hold grudges.  Glad to see that you don't
either.

DC
Kathy - 11 Dec 2003 23:06 GMT
DC,

No way do I like to hold grudges.... life is too short! I just got
over a flame war with someone from another NG and I think we both went
away with hard feelings.... it's just not worth it anymore :-)

Kathy,

   Tell me about it.  I recently this yr moved in with my 90 yr old grandmother
who has Alzheimer.  And ya can learn a lot about life in watching how the
Alzheimer affects a person. . .

DC
Kathy - 17 Dec 2003 03:33 GMT
DC,

I have a lot of respect for you for taking care of your grandmother.
It has got to be hard sometimes.

Kathy,

   Thank you it is rewarding.  The only thing that I can say that I am saddened
by is the fact that I am NOT the only grandchild, but I appear to be the ONLY
grandchild who was willing to move in with her.

   Now granted my sister does have her own family, and as such couldn't
realistically move in with her.  And my brother has a girlfriend, but he could
have made the "slight" adjustment and moved in with our grandmother.  That aside
the thing that really gets to me, is that NEITHER of them can stop by and visit
with her.

   Oh, yes IT can be.  Like IF she watches too much TV it can over stimulate
her and the result is that she can be very argumentative, almost to the point of
being combative.  She also has a walker that she uses, BUT there are times when
she thinks that she is "strong" enough NOT to need it,or that from time-to-time
that it's good NOT to use it.

   Well unfortunately almost two wks ago because she was using this rational
she fell, and banged up her left arm pretty bad.  And as a result I've been
sleeping downstairs on the couch so as to be there when she needs to get up in
the middle of the night. . .I've also have had to help her change at night for
bed, and again in the morning when she gets up.  And IF she doesn't make it out
back I get to help her into the shower so that she can clean up. . .

   And the "fun" thing is that I am one of her two MALE grandchildren. .
.Fortunately though I spent 11 yrs in the Army as a medic so I've got the
training to deal with her (Ok, granted it didn't cover Alzheimer, BUT I know
enough from my training help her) and trust me IT does come in handy. . .

DC,

I also have respect for you for being in the army as well! My sister
just got back from the middle east... she had to be over there for
over a year and she is so glad to be back home now. Also one of my
brothers was in the army for over 20 years. He is also a gulf war
veteran.

I know the feeling when you are NOT the only grandchild. My
grandmother was in a nursing home for a few years... I would have
taken her into my home, but I have a family and the kids were little
at the time. Some of the other grandchildren didn't have kids and this
is what really got to me... I visited my grandmother several times a
week with my kids a long with me while she was in there and not ONCE,
at least while I visited did any of the other grandchildren come in to
see her... I would also ask the nurses if she had any visitors and
every single time they would tell me that I was the only one... but
yet, the other grandchildren would lie and tell other people that they
visited her all of the time just to make themselves look good. My
grandmother raised me since I was 15 and I figured going to see her
almost everyday would be a little "thank you" to her. She also had
Alzheimer's.... man, some of the things she would say was something
else! She was never combative though, she was just always confused
about who I was... she thought I was my mother, which my mother died
many years before that.

Hey feel free to drop me a line anytime so we can chat.... my e-mail
is computermonkeyNOSPAM@inbox.net
just remove NOSPAM before e-mailing.... anyone else in here can e-mail
me too...

Kathy.....the part about nobody else ever visiting them may need to be taken
with a grain of salt. Nurses work different shifts or may not remember who
came to see who in a nursing home. They are usually busy underfunded places
in Canuckistan anyway. I am sure they always try to encourage visitors to
come more often to lighten their patients lives.

As far as the resident person telling you nobody ever visits them, all the
older people say that. I get it from my other siblings with my mother, in a
seniors home, and I see her every week. It could be time passes slowly for
them between visits, gross exaggeration, bad memory, time distortions, or
whatever but they all do it....LOL

We just have to take it with a grain of salt because, who are we going to
upset anyway, and what is the point?  We know what we have done and what we
have put out for them in our hearts. Don't be too hard on other offspring as
there may be more truth in what they are saying then you think.

Best of everything to you!

Hello ER.... it was the nurses that told me no one was visiting... I
had made friends with most of them there.

No I don't hold it against my siblings... I totally forgot about it
until this all was brought up *LOL* I still wouldn't hold it against
them.... after all, life is too short to be fighting with them :-)

Many (not all) people are rude in newsgroups because they suffer from
intelligence problems and lack proper upbringing. Others just simply suffer
from other "lackings" which cause them to actually feel better if they make
an other feel bad. It's a disease and it's a major problem for the planet.
In other words it makes them feel beter to be hurtful than to be helpful.
The net offers them an "outlet" for their "problem" where other people
around them otherwise would not put up with them nor allow them to behave in
such a manner.

I find it's always the best practice to put out there, on the net, just
exactly what it is you would like to get back.
abused people are abused because they abuse themselves and others. Loving
people are loving because they project love and that's what they get back.

It's not possible for someone who lacks self-respect to respect others. It's
actually humorous, or ridiculus, to notice that nasty people actually think
projecting negativity empowers them when it actually causes them to loose
ground and diminish their ability to connect with others.

Beware also that NOT everyone who posts to a newsgroup is SOBER....hehe.
It's obvious...

Are you talking from experience? Do you lack a proper upbringing? I dont.
Do you have inteligence problems? I dont.
I lack nothing in my life.
Were you abused? I wasnt.
Are you a drunk? I'm not.
Very clever post Glenn, relating your sad life to the rest of us

It comes with the territory, babe.

So you're going to stay on this newsgroup (it's not a "list") and play
moderator? Good luck.

Um.... you might want to consider taking your own advice.

> but please just let us correspond in peace shame on
> you grrr

You just show up and start telling people who've been here for YEARS to
post according to your rules or leave.
Shame on you!

Ya gotta be tougher than that honey.   I mean if plain old text is getting
you down this hard, you need to grow some stones because the internet is
NOT generally pleasureable for you 'why can't we all just get along
types'.
