PLEASE can you think on what your wording is. as it's to hard on feelings to read all the bad DETAILS. in a heading on a topic post! then the person can CHOOSE to read the bad news. instead of it being in their face. on a forum that is suppose to be a laughing place.

Frankly, I have so little time anymore, that I appreciate a more direct subject heading so I can get into it. Something bland I may overlook, just like I often don't have time to get into all the birthday threads, but that doesn't mean I don't wish them a happy one. With kindness, let me suggest that we do have the Play Pen for all the light and silly and fun aspects of LP...and IMO Community is for sharing what is going on that touches people's lives outside of politics (which goes to WE). I appreciate the trust that LP'rs demonstrate by sharing their hurts as well as their happiness here. Hope you are well.

In life some unfortunate events can happen, and can come back to haunt us. Sadly though, they can continue to happen to others. Councilling can be a great way to learn to compartmentalise those issues and feelings if wounds start to reopen (if that is felt to be an appropriate route). I do not believe people come in here to specifically shock or offend (most of the time). In fact, quite the contrary. LP is full of wonderful people that like to support one another. If ever you feel you would like to discuss any issues, we are here. (((((big baloo bear hugs)))))
