What I Have Learned On FG

Lon · Post by **Lon** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 8:09 pm

I have learned that there are many lonely people that seek friendships on FG.

(I am not being critical)

I have learned that there are many with major health problems.

I have learned that there are many single mums raising children

I have learned that many are good hearted & well meaning and relate to those that they can identify with as being like themselves.

I have learned that over all----the economic status of most posters is modest.

I have learned that the eating habits of most posters is atrocious.

I have learned that most posters do not exercise that much.

I have learned that for the most part FG could be considered a "Blue Collar Group". (That's not criticism, nothing wrong with that.)

I have learned that there can be a class war mentality at times.

I have learned that some have no class at all.

I have learned that some are pretty damn classy.

I have learned that not everyone likes where they live.

I have learned that the no class will eventually drive off the class.

I have learned that most are very trusting and throw caution to the wind.

I have learned that people are people and that there is not too much difference due to geography.

I have learned that the median age is about 40

I have learned that NASCAR fans are defensive

I have learned that the majority of members have no interest in discussing finance.(majority)

I have learned that the majority do not discuss world events. (that's majority)

Not real sure, but the majority appear to be renters.

I have learned that most will go along with the crowd rather than take heat from other members. (go along to get along)

For a curious guy like me, I have learned much while on FG, and I thank you.

And there is even much more that I haven't posted

You're holding out on us... unless you're really that shallow.

It is no surprise to find a group of people with similar interest or life styles in one forum, if it was adverse, people would go somewhere else.

I enjoy talking finance (just not personal) and world events, and have responded whenever I have seen one.

Doesn't bother me either, live and let live.

What I have learned on here is that anyone point in time there always seems to be a need to have a scapegoat, someone to pick on.

weeder · Post by **weeder** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 2:50 am

Some people gather ststistics, others gather hearts. Statistics are used to form graphs. Heart is the stuff that makes this life worth living. And so I would hope that like my self visitors will learn lessons, form frienships and gain insight regarding feeling. Strangers here have gathered together to boost others morale. Have shared knowledge, offered hope, encouragement, and love. I think that when most of us got involved, we didnt give a thought to what others here had, or did not have. We were either drawn to the heart , insight, wisdom. and affection of others posting.

I am a single, caucasian, female. I am a renter. My income is modest. I have an appreciation for good food, good wine, good music, and all of the arts.

I am a daughter, a mom, a sister, and friend to many.I try to maintain a sense of class, But to me class is cleanliness, kindness, compassion, and the willingness to share what I know, or something I have learned, with someone else. I am a fighter for the under dog, and I abhor watching anyone be made to feel inferioor, unwanted, or unloved, I have spent my life gathering hearts. My entire journey through this life has been colored by the people I have met, the experiences I have had with them, the laughs and the tears we have shared. I have travelled to places where others would not go because I am color blind, gender blind, and knowledgeable enough to know that wealth and possesions are not the indicator of a good or kind human.

From my first visit to FG, Carlas signature line caught my attention.

The one about sliding through life with a martini glass in one hand..............

Whoa.... what a ride!!!! Thank you God for making me the kind of person who always knew that the reason for living was to connect with other people. To bond with each person we meet, and to take something away, that is good. Thank you for making me cautious enough to be safe, but open enough to be very human. I am hitting the road today for another trip down to the swamps of Georgia. I made 8 CDs of music. Everything from Al Jolson to Disco. As I fly down the highway, enjoying the music...... I will think of all of you. Please know that any of you who have difficulties with money, or health, or love, or heartache.... you will pass through my mind and I will be lifting you up wishing good things for you. Love, Weeder

I have learnt that FG is made up of, not only people all over the world, but also people from all walks of life. Combined FG, holds the key and answers for many people. Some are alone. Some are suffering horrific illnesses. Some are able to communicate with many people in RL, others are not so lucky. FG is a place where people can share their good times and bad, and for the most part receive the support, advice and love that they are seeking at that time. Sometimes just visiting for a chat and a laugh, sometimes requiring more.

I have learnt you can go away for a few weeks, and upon your return, people have left, people have returned, people previously banned are back. Sworn enemies are now friends. A tad confusing and unpredictable.

There are people who will give you straight answers, so be prepared. There are some that will continue to love and support you, even if they don’t entirely understand your situation. On the whole FG is full of wonderful, supportive people, who can share their experiences in life and help others in similar situations, learning through the experiences of others.

I have learnt that if your situation is so bad, do not use a forum to try and resolve your frustrations and anger, seek professional help from real people who have the experience and qualifications to really help you, before its too late. What ever you post, expect answers, some you may not like.

I have learnt to not be so quick to judge, and to count to 10 before posting a reply.

I have learnt my fingers ache when typing long replies. :-5

Ok lets see..........

I have learned that everyone is entitled to their own opinion whether we like it or not.

There are people here that I can relate to more than others - which is fine. We can't all expect to get along.

I have learned that posts can be very easily mis-understood. If a member has written something I don't like, I should bite my tongue and count to 10 before replying - or better still......say nothing! (If I haven't got anything good to say - best to keep quiet)

We all need a shoulder to cry on from time to time...There are people here who have been thru hell and back - you are an inspiration to me. I'm very proud to call some FG members my friends.

I have learned that it is wise not to get caught up in cyberfeuds of any kind

I have learned that you can get hurt by people you don't know and who don't know you at all

I have learned that there is a time to switch off the computer, do a reality check, take a break, breathe fresh air, grab a coffee with a real life friend

I have learned that nasties exist, that you can't change this, that you need to learn to live with it. You need to be discerning but not judgmental.

I have learned that it is good to keep things in perspective, to laugh loudly, to grow a thicker skin

I have learned that people of goodwill outweigh the others

I have learned that out of some casual exchange - unexpected and often in an unlikely thread - the spark of real life friendship can be born

I have learned it is possible to be continually amazed

Lon's 'list' is interesting and I agreed with most points.

I have learned from folks at FG that 99.9% of the human race are kind, sensitive (too much so at times), loyal, generous, funny.....and so on....

I've said it before....but I still think that FG is a unique forum that follows the pattern of a REAL garden....some plants survive, some don't. Sometimes the climate (weather) is good, sometimes not. Not all the plants can live in happy co-existence....such is the way of the world, but on the whole a garden is a wondrous place to be and you have to forget the negatives and look on 'the whole' and be 'glad'.

I think that Lon has always let it be known clearly, that he is not interested in being part of a community. Lon, observes life, he doesnt emmotionally invest in it. I finally realized this morning why he does frequent FG. FG is a wonderful place, filled with people who he can feel superior to. Its kind of sad to realize that in RL he must not feel that way..... so he gets those feelings here. Bon Appetite!!!

Wow. I don't think I ever got that vibe from Lon, though I've known him a long time & may have forgotten.
