I just got off the phone with my daddy and my baby brother is at his place...he got parole and did not bother to tell me anything, just called dad when they let him out to come pick him up. Dad asked if he could stay with me for a little while until everything can be sorted out, cause my sister is kind of a drama queen and it's better if baby boy does not have to deal with her...so Sunday he is moving in with what things he does have, my dad is taking him shopping to get clothes and stuff today. I want to drive out to my dad's and pick him up, but daddy said no he wants this time with his son, no girls allowed but it will not be long til i gets my baby brother...i'm really happy and kind of worried at the same time...cause i was not ready for this one thought i had about 8 years to figure out where he was going to go...but oh well My brother is HOME :word::kilt::scared0016::pillowfight:

Just back from seeing stupid boys PO, come to find out i actually know his PO. I did his hardwood flooring and blind install paper work with my job. Rules are pretty simple, no drinking, no drugs, he has a curfew, no firearms. And of course needs to find a job. At the moment he has to report once a week, but they may change later depending on how well he does. Given his record the job hurt is not going t be easy...so i'm looking into some of the contractor that come into my job to see if they have anything.
Lemme just drag this back to vaguely near the original topic for a moment.
One of the reasons people question inconsistancies in posts and things stated as fact in posts here is usually because we deal with a lot of different states and DoCs and it helps to know what is possible elsewhere and how states vary. It can sometimes lead to someone investigating their own situation further and finding that they can actually do something that they didn't think was possible. It can also lead to someone breaking a rule for the DoC they are dealing with, because someone else told them it was fine without knowing that it was only fine for a different DoC. But the only way that works effectively is to have the information in a clear and true way, so that you can then go off and do your own research.
It was actually anoying to me that we were on page 2 or 3 before Pixie mentioned that this applies to Ohio. That's the kind of information that is really important.
The credibility of the poster is also an important factor. I can't tell you how many times I have seen people post something as a fact, when it was a hearsay experience, and then they spend pages and pages of interweb space getting all pizzy when someone asks them to clarify it. It's a waste of everyone's time; if people used the phrase "in my experience" or "this might not apply to everyone but..." it would be easier to sift out what was really relevant.
There are plenty of people here who don't have English as their first language and it's not normally an issue. Inconsistancies in what is posted is an issue if you are trying to work out whether it could be helpful to you or not.
It is unfortunate just how many people have taken their boredom, poor boundary issues, mental illness, and mean spirited minds to the web for such cruel and pointless games. There's way too much of it on the web and one reason why I tend to shun almost all social media. I'm sorry that happened to you.
Yes it was scary because the body type (short and thick or chunky) really looked like me, if it wasn't for a couple tattoos and birthmarks that I have, it would have been very easy to believe it was me. I guess I was 24 or 25 in this stupid myspace group and the forum was "post your sexiest pictures" and because I don't post anything too wild I joined in with some shoulders-up head shots, next thing I knew another girl sent me a link to a xxx site and those pics had bodies that were having all sorts of things done to them that I've never even experienced. It still makes me cringe.
nothing shocks me anymore about how people treat eachother. should a grown woman act in such a way...nope..never know maybe she was not raised me proper manners? there is so many cases where people have died over stupid things posted on the web..does it change anything, nope..because the bullies speak louder than the victims..and when the victim speaks up, they are told oh your just over reacting and other BS like that
I just think it's so dangerous because even if that woman isn't mentally unstable...some of her readers easily could. And... posting someone's photos and location and whatnot just seems incredibly irresponsible. I suppose she doesn't care or maybe that is her intended purpose but... it's surprising to me grown women would behave that way.
It's the whole keyboard warrior trash. it's easy to sit and talk trash at someone or about someone when knowing nothing about whom you have decided to pass judgement on. Mostly i find that keyboard warrior's cant bear their lives and can't look themselves in the mirror...so they want to tear other up to make them feel better about their sad little lives.
It doesn't make me hyper aware to be polite...as I'm sure people know haha but being blogged about did give me a sense of what it would be like to have some level of fame or notoriety... I can't see how you would thrive on that because it's initially disconcerting. Being photoshopped takes it to a new level...so I can understand your apprehension.
I know. I consider myself a fairly secure person, but I get really upset when people spread false or incomplete misleading information about me where I'm not aware and there to defend myself, so I am hyper aware to be polite online now... Once my head and shoulders were photoshopped onto really graphic porn images and passed around, that traumatized me. And I have some unusual personal circumstances in my life that I don't need to explain, defend, or discuss in public, so I try to keep somewhat private.
It's disappointing that bullies keep people from feeling comfortable saying what they want.
Even more disappointing is that this takes place among grown adults. Unfortunately the anonymous nature of forums and blogs gives people a false sense of power.
Nothing surprises me here anymore. But you have a good point..
Oh you'd be surprised
I don't believe that anyone called you any nasty names. If you are going to post on an open forum and post things that don't make sense or seem wrong then you should expect that people will call you out on that. If it makes you feel better to call people that see through you "judgmental cows" I'm okay with that.
Oh i'm sure one of these days someone will start a nasty blog about me, due to i just don't really care what others think of me or how i do things..my life is busy and not like theirs so they just don't get it.
i don't think anyone would start a mean blog about you, from what i've read you always have an opinion but you never say it in a mean or nasty way. Unlike some of the cows here. yes that was rude of me, but to be honest at this point i'm sick and not really in the mood to be nice to anyone that wants to jump on a soap box at me.
Well, to be fair that particular member was a true psychopath. I don't really think we have those on here at the moment.
Thanks, that's partly because I try to be a fair and nice person, and partly because I was horrified when someone started a whole mean blog about another member here and I don't want that to happen to me :/

I've into a little anime..i did a full bleach paint for halloween..my oldest daughter is a total anime manga junky.
I would have done the same thing too, rather be safe than sorry right? :)
And my icon comes from the anime Madoka Magica. I'm into watching anime and reading manga. I guess that's the nerd in me lol.
I thought you were a she...but was not sure and had not looked at your profile in a bit...but i did not want to make a mistake on that one. *giggles*
love your icon btw
Thanks Pixie.^_^ I'm a "she" by the way. :)
I for one have always enjoyed reading your post because you have a point of view that is really interesting to me, and you always state things in a way that are clear and never mean or attacking.
Just like SlientForest, even she/he is new and somewhat quiet. The post are always cute and interesting to read...in my opinion.
That's understandable. I have to admit, it can be fun reading through the forums. It's kindof a guilty pleasure when I get the chance. :) And sorry about the ugly weather and the ankle. :(
I was just piggybacking off the topic and talking about pointless liars. I don't know about pixie, not my problem. Some times people seem like they make things up when they really are just drama-magnets.
Her stories don't seem particularly self-serving, and sound like some people I know that just have conflicting feelings and busy minds, maybe that's what is going on. Some people have lives that are more interesting than fiction. It's all interesting to me.
Drama or not, I'm having fun reading the forums today. I'm caught up letter writing, semi-disabled with my ankle, waiting on some ugly weather tonight, it's welcome entertainment.
Yay! :D Please add extra butter for me. ^_^
Oh i agree with you...to those that don't wish to believe how i do things it's on them, they can call me whatever name they like...i've always said i'm good at keeping haters in there jobs...and we all know some of the people on this site honestly just pick apart everything people post. I don't bother with them any longer, they can keep posting, but they will not get a reply from me since after the late time around i just put them on block and move on with my day. HAKUNA MATATA...i love that song lol i grown tired of the drama here at times, that is why until the past week or so i just don't bother to be here. No matter where we go in the world online or real world there will always be judgemental cows. So i just do me.
I'll share my popcorn, SilentForest. :-)
I feel like everybody has met a person like that in their life at one point or another. I don't understand why people lie about unimportant and mundane things either. However, I feel like if PixieWings is lying then it's her business and she will have to live with the consequences. But at the end of the day she knows what is true or not in her heart and I feel like if people think that she is a fraud then take a step back from her and leave her be. I'm not trying to offend anyone up here in any type of manner at all. And Pixie I'm not saying that you're a fraud or anything. I guess I just want the drama to stop and people to start singing Hakuna Matata. :) Just my two cents in the matter. :2cents:
I knew a man who said he had a lying problem, he would go to one grocery store and lie and say he went to a different grocery store, totally pointless lies. He'd lie about his age, both up and down, by a year or two.. Completely pointless.
I get the logic behind saying you are a doctor if you are really a med student or saying you own a big home when you own a tiny home.. Just trying to impress people or feel "bigger and better", but there are people who lie about the most random, unimportant topics...what's the motive? I don't understand the psychology behind this type of lying.
I've been enjoying the story!
I really love this post and you're adorable! I like sharks too, but don't know much about them
My daughter loved the first thing I taught her in German, "Du bist ein speilverderber! :)
It's not that hard to figure out. You posted in this thread about your Father asking if your Brother could stay with you and then said that he is actually paroling to your house. It's plain to see you are making up a story. You just don't "forget" details like that. I used to have a boss at work whom I worked with for five years. She was a pathological liar. She would say one thing to me and 2 minutes later say a totally different thing to the receptionist. She was pretty good at keeping the details straight and what she told to each person but over five years she slipped up a lot. Interestedly though, nothing she ever lied about gained her anything. Pathological liars are unable to tell the truth even if there is nothing to gain from it. It's just not this post. You can see it in every post you make. You tell one story and when someone questions it you change your story to explain it. The problem is that the explanation doesn't make sense with the previous information you've given. I am interested as to the "why" though.
Ich liebe dich & warum ist dast meer blau?
The first I learned in a YouTube song and the second I learned because I wanted to type a line in German to this German speaking biologist that I wrote an email to gushing my admiration of his work with hai (sharks)
That is my entire knowledge of German
mich auch. My german is rusty i've not spoken it as a first language since i was maybe 10. My strongest language is Korean, but it's hard to type in proper korean because if others don't have the upload thing on their computer all they see is little boxes. These days i most speak Korean and English, and yes my English sucks.
ich liebe dich
think what you like, since you feel i'm a fraud....
It's i like german language. I love you is ich liebe dich
Berling slang....that must sound even sexier ;)
I only know a bunch of crude songs and Berlin slang......ha ha ha! My late mother was a star :-D
I like the German language too but it was very simple to translate using the internet so.....LOL
Diese Frau ist ein Betrug.
That means I love you <3 right? ;)
[QUOTE=februarymoon;1122451]Children speak the language of their parents - fact! I also grew up in a non-English speaking country but spoke German and English because that's what my parents speak. Children don't learn the language that other people in the country speak because they don't trust other people. They only mimic their parents or caregivers.
Also you would have had little contact with the "locals" when living on a base. My man's brother was on a base in Germany and I worked on contract as a localisation specialist with the base. I met my man when he was visiting his brother. The US military personnel in Germany didn't even know how to buy a stamp in German. They don't need to. They have their own schools, doctors, churches, shops, and so on.
An MA in philology tells me that there are some untruths here. In two years you became fluent in a whole language? Why the heck are you working 20 hours a day doing two jobs when you could be earning big bucks translating or interpreting? I used to make $250 an hour simultaneous interpreting at Ford board meetings. I used to work 3 days a week in Germany as a translator.
[B]I was tempted to post in German [/B]just to see how much better you are at it than English but that's unfair on others who don't speak German.
I'm joining NL in calling BS on your whole fairy tale. Your pp's might be impressed by your exotic claims. I'm not.[/QUOTE]
Please, go ahead. Ich mag die deutschen Sprache :o

i know what i wrote, and if we have learned nothing it's that i don't always state myself very clean when i'm typing fast due to lack of time. I have time at the moment because i'm home sick from work, so i can lay in bed and die or i can look around on the computer..computer won.
It may imply that my father is non english speaking, but that is not the case. We always spoke the language of whatever country we were staying in at the time.
I sign paper MY FATHER gives me. I'M NOT STUPID ENOUGH TO SIGN PAPERS THAT MY DAD HAS NOT ALREADY READ OVER. got to love the cheap shot :gagme:
over the course of 10 years that i can remember, my dad was in the army 30 years, but i was only part of that lifestyle for 10, we lived in England, Germany, Japan, Korea, Russia. I don't have a native language for say because very where we moved i had to learn the language of where we where, my first language was German if you want to call that my native language.
My older brother the Marine always spoke english, he did not of his time in the Marines in the USA, was stationed in Japan for i think 6 months but for the most part he was in the USA. Oh they have been teaching me english on and off for maybe 15 years now, i speak it well and can write it, but at times i get confused to what the meaning of slang terms are.

My father speaks perfect english, and German, Russian, Korean, Japanese. I'm the one that sucks at english at times.
That gif would have been a lot funnier if I hadn't have tripped all over myself to get there. This message board is so old school it makes me feel computer illiterate haha!!!

hold up how do you put in gifs...
Well according to her bio her father was in the US military. I would have thought it would be a requirement when joining the military that you speak the language. Kind of helps when commands are given.
