I know times are tough, but have we forgotten how to have some fun, and a laugh here on Salon Geek ?
Maybe it's not the recession to blame, maybe we are just not making friends like we used to on here, and getting to know each other, and if we don't do that, it all gets kind of bland and businesslike, and even a little depressing!
I know from the Blogs that some people are going through heartbreaking difficult times, and yet some of those people post the friendliest, helpful and most uplifting posts here on the Forums. There really are some amazing Geeks!
I too have had my dark times recently, but the support from people on here that I have never met and will probably never meet has been amazing, even when they didn't know what was going on, they could just pick up on small things in my posts, and cared enough to check I was okay.
This is why I love Salon Geek, and coming on here gives me an escape and a chance to be normal for a while.
I have known people on here for years, and they come and go and it's great when they pop back, and I can send a message asking how they are or how George is, if it's Mrs Clooney :wink2: I have never waxed or know anything about waxing, but Kim Lawless is my chum, even if she thinks David Cassidy would pick her over me ...aye right ! I also knew Rinn would be the one to pick up on my wine in the 80's comment ! Little does she know I'm the one who kidnapped her bin.....but the Irish Mail lost the ransom note
Ask yourself what you know about your fellow geeks, look for the personality in their posts not just the information, and HAVE A LAUGH, have some Geeky FUN!
This will be difficult to do if everyone just posts quick one liners, maybe that's what has contributed to the gloom, so expand your comments let your style and personality flow into your posts, and our community will benefit.
Start today...get to know your fellow geeks, send a friendly Pm to someone you think is great...or post about them here, or ask about them on here, or just tell us something plain daft about yourself that will have us thinking about that every time you post :o
