If the person requests you to link them you can send it in a PM! I haven't been able to find the site since they changed URLS >< and I also completely quit all of my sites when class started this semester... But I don't have to worry about that anymore!
Can you PM me the new URL? |
It seems that I wasn't the only person to resign on Ruffles, one of the Admin staff put in her resignation and now I feel terrible for backing out. So I posted last night on Ruffles that I would stay with them until they could find a suitable replacement for me.
|
That is probably the nicest thing you can do while still watching out for yourself!
|
They turned down my offer, seems Woop forgot that there was 3 mods on the site. With me leaving that still means there are 2 others that can deal with the slow amount of traffic there on Ruffles. I feel better knowing that I didn't leave them in a pickle.
|
^_^ I'll link ya up Jaz....
We had to change the site it was giving to much lag T_T Aww queenie your such a good girl |
Thanks much Lilim! I'll check Jaz later! I am too lazy to log off my mule on this computer LOL
|
Thanks Lilim. I feel bad though that I can't be there more to be the best staff I can, just don't have a lot of time to dedicate to the site like in the past.
Wow, work is going by slow right now. *le sigh* |
Mine is going decently fast ><;; though I want Dillon home soon even though I know he'll be leaving soon anyhow cause he has to go practice driving with a friend of ours... ><
|
Sounds kind of odd when you say practice driving, I think of him sitting in one of those little red and yellow cars that you push with your feet.
|
may as well be cause apparently the 6 hour course we dished out almost 300 bucks for isn't enough to TEACH him to drive and I am not about to take him out in my sputtering old mini van in the snow despite it having pretty decent handling for a car of its size it is simply too overwhelming for me to put two kids in the car and try to instruct him not to be nervous about traffic when one won't stop talking and the other is crying... I've been driving for years and that STILL gets to me!
|
My cousin's kids learned real fast that they were not to yell anything out and if they could talk to each other as long as it was in low tones.
Yeah, that can be distracting to someone that is just learning. Can't imagine having a kid like my little sister in the car while learning. I'd have killed her. |
I am a pretty seasoned driver and if both boys are going I go bonkers... I've had to pull over the car twice to instruct them that we go NO WHERE until they get a handle on themselves!

Amanda would take her seatbelt off and bounce around the car while mom was driving, so a few times my mom would be doing 20 down a residential street and slam on her brakes so that Amanda would head face first into the seat in front of her...Amy and I never laughed out loud, but it was satisfying to hear her yelp and then cry. Mom's response, "Now Imagine that I am going 65 and you're heading out the front windshield.
Amanda was never seriously hurt, it was more to prove a point. Getting bipped in the head is a small price compared to being ejected from the vehicle. |
I've done that a few times to Michael... He was the notorious seatbelt taker offer... Dillon and I were actually telling my mom that this morning!
|
It would work on Amanda for that car trip, but the next time we got in the car she would be bouncing around again. She never did catch on fast when it came to right and wrong, listening and doing what we were asked to do.
|
Mikes has caught on now... It took about 5 face slams lol
|
Amanda suffers from Bipolar and has her entire life, well we know that now. When we were growing up all we knew was she was a bit wacky between the ears. Not even the doctors could figure out, not that they took the time to properly diagnose her, what was wrong. So she went unmedicated for years. She still hasn't learned the whole prinicple of right and wrong. Amanda is borderline Sociopath in my opinion.
|
Bringing up a long-dead thread because I actually have a few minutes to myself...I'm not sure how med-compliant your sister is, but I know more bi-polars aren't. Also, she may actually BE borderline? |
My mother swears I am bipolar which I don't know ... I have nasty mood swings..
|
Mood swings does not equate to bipolar. Bipolar is defined as periods of mania (which can be years apart)--being awake for days, being highly active, etc--alternated with periods of serious depression (which can be years apart). Ellie says that a lot of people diagnosed as bipolar actually aren't. |
I think I am just moody... I can go from one extreme to another really quickly... It doesn't take much to change my moods... My friends twin sister was recently put on anti-depressants and she swears she is a better person... I was put on them after Sean was born and I FREAKED... I was NUMB all over except the odd gnawing feeling that something was wrong... And it was!
|
Yeah, it sounds like you just have mood swings. Some people need anti-depressants, but many do not, and I feel that doctors are too quick to prescribe something than refer a person to a therapist who will help them work it all out cognitively and behaviorally. I was on meds for years. And I definitely needed them at the time. Now I'm doing mostly fine off of them. maybe someday I'll need them again, but will cross that bridge if it happens. |
What got me is that out of 3 or 4 doctors I saw after Sean was born my normal doctor was the one who did the blood work and actually found out what was wrong... Though it kind of irritates me that my mother says that I am Bi-polar and need to be on medication for that but she thinks it is stupid that I am on medication for what is really wrong with me >.>

Jessi, Amanda is a classic case of Manic Biploar. She will go days or sometimes weeks with little to no sleep and then boom! She's down for the count for a couple of weeks. She has a short fuse on the emotions and if you hang out with her you can see the onset of an episode starting in her mannerisms and speech.
So she sees a shrink and is medicated properly now. They had to go through a lot of different med combinations to get her more even. Thankfully the meds are helping |
Jaz, you'd think your mom would be better with you having a medical condition than a mental one--most people are. Queen, that sounds typical of what Ellie describes--such a difficult thing for the family and friends to live with...I'm glad the meds are helping, but Ellie guarantees that she'll go off them once she feels she's "better" and winds up missing the manias. Apparently all bi-polars do. |
