Air fern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They used to be kept in glass bowls in the 80's. They aren't living so you don't water or feed them...they just sit and look like a plant.

There is actually "air" plants Janet. They usually "glue" them to things like sea shells. Mine have always died.

You'll know it's happened to you when the cool kids do not respond to any post/question of yours. Of course, they probably never see it cause your on the oh so cool ignore list!
Click to expand...

Amy, that ignore list (and it isn't really a list so much as a feature) is for people that are hurtful and mean. I don't know of anyone here that uses that ignore feature just to be spiteful. There is a person here that swears at us, starts fights, attacks, belittles, demeans, and trashes people as a group or individually... it's painful, disheartening and it hurts when it happens. I've been on here for about 9 months or so and I don't know of such a list... I don't ignore anyone intentionally and sometimes I'm not on for a couple days in a row... some times I just don't have the right words to say so I don't reply to certain threads/posts

I'm sorry that you feel you've been blackballed...if you only knew how many threads I've started that had about 100-200 views and not one reply, you might not feel like you've been black listed...plus it's conference week and a lot of people are gone and coming and going...etc

HTH's and sorry you feel you've been blackballed...

Amy you are not on my ignore list - I don't have anyone on my ignore list. I believe in free speech:)!

If I read your post I probably just didn't know how to answer you or didn't have time. I stop in and out of CS all day. Sometimes just for a few minutes. I always look for "new posts" so sometimes I may not notice your post later in the day - since it's not new anymore!

I've had a few I started too with no response - but I didn't delete them. I guess you could go through my posts and find them:)!

What were you looking for help with?
 
I also believe in free speech and your right to say what you wish, but I also believe in my right to not have to listen to it. It's just like talk radio, if you don't like it, change the station. I think of the iggy list as just changing the station.
 
I don't sensor it until I start to hear it and then change the station. If I don't like what I'm reading, I don't finish:)!

Or maybe I just miss watching soap operas and need a little excitement in my life (LOL)!
 
This time of year, answers can be hard to come by. People are at conference, on vacation, etc. and don't necessarily have a lot of time to log on here. And I know that there are a bunch of directors who have been working their businesses (imagine that!), and skipping logging in here. So it's not necessarily you, it's just a fluke.

I've lost count of the number of times I've started a thread that NO ONE has responded to! I usually end up deleting them so no one finds out :D Or I post something and then kill the thread.

Thanks for the great idea, ladies!! ;) Better go check for some now, 'cause I know there's some out there.

The best is when you notice that no one has responded, but yet many have viewed your thread! That makes me feel soooooooo good!! :p
