Thanks for bumping the thread! I don't understand why someone couldn't figure out "who" nor the "why" because it was quite obvious to me. TC! (I mean, the person who bumps it has to do so by posting, and the post explained a response.)

How do I get ppl to follow through? Set goals with rewards. Make it interesting, challenging, exciting ... beneficial to them in some way, or swap out an agreement... all depending upon the situation of course. (Begging is on the list, but at the bottom.

Very good points.

I will use them!

Sorry you didn't know what I meant by "bumping", Billi! Sometimes I say, "Poking thread out of oblivion" which might be more clear. LOL

I like the topic, so by bumping it up, more people may respond once it's visible agan. I mean, I don't know what other reason one might have to bump a thread other than liking the topic! I've done this on dozens of threads with no one batting an eyelash! But on a couple, someone asked for a reason. I thought I was breaking some kind of rule.

JD, thank you!..You don't know how much I needed to hear that!

As I said to Billi, what other reason would one have to bump a thread other than to see if more replies come in, because one likes that topic???

Thank you again!

its a very true sentiment. especially when we get depressed to feel like people are tuning you out even when they are not so it hurts more when they are. i find it hard to figure out what to say when people i thought i was close to stop responding. i get annoyed when there is no response to a post here occasionally. usually i assume i am not worth there time.

I apologise if Rhiannon caused you concern, she was answering a question

I asked her what this was about, she told me it was to do with etiquette

Again I apologise if you were upset

Threads get buried quickly on this site, and I bumped it to see if anyone else responds since it died out so quickly.

I agree with y'all? I am trying to get my two faced boyfriend to follow thru?!! Grrr!!! I know he loves me and he also knows. I love him too!!! I hate it when we argue and fuss with each other? I also know that he hates it as well? I think it's because he's in the. US Air Force is the only reason why he has a sorry *** attitude?!! Grrrrrr!!!!!! I just hope he realizes that. I'll never forget about him ever? I also know that he won't forget about me either. I chose the most best man to spend the rest of my life with and so did he?!!

Rhapsody, I agree with you on that hun? I believe that alot of people are selfish with the one they actually fell in love with first. It's also pretty good that they stay with that partner forever and ever too!!

I'm glad that my "bumping it" paid off.

And BTW, Billi, I just had someone stop talking to me cold turkey after telling me how people have been doing that to HIM for YEARS!!! You'd think he'd know better.....
