But I'm sure I have more then TEN posts, lol.

Off-topic, but it hurts me when I see "then" is used in place of "than" in sentences like this, considering both "then" and "than" have different meanings!

Sorry for this, but I had to do it, because I am not sure if you intentionally write "then", or accidentally write it, please explain, thanks.

I can assure you that if you spend time correcting coworkers' typos, this WILL hold you back in life.  It's actually impolite and somewhat akin to a "superiority complex".

I guess unless you work for a newspaper and strive to become Chief Editor.  :cool:

 

edit - perhaps a better explanation  --  you're not the first to correct typos and MEANINGLESS (in the grand scheme of things) typos and grammatical errors here at MSFN, the next time you see somebody doing that here at MSFN, ask yourself if you want to be lumped in with that person and have all the rest of MSFN stereotype you as "one of those people".  Most of "those people" tend to always land on "ignore lists" because of the "superiority complex" that they unconsciously convey.

 

I do not direct that to you, of course.  You asked me to explain and that's my explanation, typos are MEANINGLESS to me, whether I am reading them or whether I am typing them, simply MEANINGLESS, lol.

Nah, don't worry, I wasn't meaning to correct you, just asking why would you use that word in a sentence instead of "than", since this is almost the same case as using "your" instead of "you're" in a sentence like "you're welcome", but of course it's up to you, I generally don't judge what you write, but eh, I guess I will just zip my mouth and just get over the typos instead, lol. :P

"Don't sweat the small stuff.  And it's all small stuff."

I have coworkers that play the game of constantly pointing out other coworker's mistakes.

It never ends well for the person doing the "pointing out".

Again, it's a "superiority complex".

It has often even landed the person "doing the pointing" in HR for their "superiority complex", them "not playing well with others", them not being a "team player".

Please read my post again (carefully, and one-by-one), especially this last part:

By this part, I meant that I will just shut and stop getting bothered by the typos every time I see them.

No meds here.  Just a multi-vitamin in the morning.

 

Along that note.

In the 3rd grade, maybe 4th, my teacher handed me an envelope to take home to my parents.

I did not know the contents and mom did volunteer work at the school so nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

The next morning, DAD drove us to school.  Dad NEVER drove us to school!  But DAD drove us on this day.

Dad sat me down in the lunch room and proceeded to the principal's office just around the corner.

I could hear dad YELLING at he principal, behind closed door.

Mind you, I went to a CATHOLIC school, my principal was a NUN.

Turns out, the envelope contained a letter where my teachers were recommending me be put on Prozac or Ritalin or whatever Tic-Tac the doctors were handing out at the time.

I can still, 40-some years later, hear dad YELLING at a NUN, "We have learned to handle his energetic spirit, you better find a way also because we WILL NOT drug our son and you WILL NOT tell us how to raise our children!"

Still to this day, my peers cannot keep up with me.  And that energetic spirit has served me well!

 

Luv Ya, Dad.  R.I.P.

Not sure I agree here.  This is how it SHOULD work.  But my sister had PTSD (due to a miscarriage) before serving in Iraq.

She drove a tank that delivered food to civilians.  An Iragi soldier in civilian clothes threw an INFANT in front of her tank, she was trained not to stop, not that you can stop a tank that fast anyway.

She came home with PTSD x 10,000 compared to what she had going in.  Here in the US, there are times of war where our military will take anybody they can get.

Not uncommon to take in "juvenile deliquents" and the military gives them a clean slate, erases all of their criminal history.  The military MOST of the time (not all of the time!) does break them from this "criminal behavior".

I also submit that there are some mental health issues that don't show up until you're in your 30s but our military takes you at 17 with parental consent, 18 otherwise.

Poor woman! Please pass my greetings to your war veteran sister. With people like her we shall win! I don't have PTSD or any forms of it, perhaps due to the fact I'm always prepared to what one could expect from such countries and their populace, seen lots of similar examples during my military days. They also love to put "surpises" inside of toys and other civilian items, just like their elder brother russkie... and then caboom!

MSFN seems much calmer today - almost as if everyone is on Xanax. Keep taking those meds everyone, and I hope the remainder of Mental Health Awareness Month will be pleasant for you. :zzz:

I have an explanation!

You all talk too much, I'm too lazy to read/reply, everyone else has died off, very simple.

Most posts are lots of milk, too casual, too obvious/generic, nothing that would engage me to support such conversations. The "joke" about me having fakes is getting too old,

with a long grey beard. Besides, I have a life, I need to go to the gym, get encounters with my 26 y.o. aging girlfriend.

Searching for a new one I might really like is hard and time consuming, due to the fact of me being too picky. So sorry I don't reply often, I'm just busy!

Also, I try to reply to the ones with decent English only. Not "dry" English they teach in the third world countries' schools or modern day America.

Is it principal or principle?  Don't care, lol.  My point is still conveyed.  :whistle:

Principal. Only used in the states, purely American. Don't you remember Blade Principal from the German Spellforce? (2003).

I'm quite certain that he meant "stay away" not in the sense of abstinence, but in the sense of not expressing his opinion on the matter as he suspects his opinion would offend other MSFN members.

In that regard, I too kind of "stay away".  But I'm sure I have more then TEN posts, lol.

Yes, exactly! I didn't mean to offend anyone here, and by pointing out that you all talk too much,

I meant no harm, I totally understand for all of you it's very important to talk. So like I wrote, better for me stay away.

Mental Health

Lately, I started to have these weird dreams where I'm around the dead ones, they don't look dead, but I know they are. I talk to them , we do some stuff, like walking, exchanging items (yes, I know it's a very bad omen, actually). They are constantly trying to show me something,  trying to explain (?), I have no idea what's this all about. I usually can't watch the dreams 'till the end. Something always wakes me up! Today it was a very loud, annoying dog (which are extremely rare here!... weird, again). I had a similar dream in the 1990's, later I was almost killed in a shootout.

Someone had anything similar ? Are these mental issues or not?

P.S.

I already checked, I'm not cursed, no spells on me.

I once dreamt that I was go-cart racing on the rings of Saturn.

The next day, a lady turned out in front of me, I swirved to miss her, then swerved again to not get hit by an oncoming truck.

The two quick swerves caused my car to fishtail.

I rolled down a 30-degree embankment roughly 14-feet deep.

The insurance estimates were that I rolled three times bumper over bumper and four times door over door.

Luckiest day of my entire life!

police officer WITNESSED the entire thing and had the lady that pulled out in front of me already pulled over and escorted back to the scene.

I swerved to MISS HER and she was thinking she could just KEEP ON DRIVING and NEVER STOP.

Walked away with nothing but a BROKEN NOSE.

Two witnesses saw the whole thing, one of them was a police officer or the "female driver" would have never so much as looked back!

LUCKIEST day of my ENTIRE LIFE.
