It's sophie4,

I don't know what's happening but I get e-mails, respond to as many as I can now...or tomorrow. Just wrote to Starrlight that I'm getting sleepy blah, blah...can't find Starrlight's new painting...all of the sudden got a message from ANMIN warning that the following post could be upsetting...read it..responded...it's like I'm receiving posts from other groups...I found a Post welcoming me to self-isolation...this isn't my computer. And I have never joined other groups...just Anxiety and Depression Support.

I received a post last night and I really wanted to check in tonight...it disappeared.

Does this happen to others?

I told Starrlight I was getting sleepy and I am...rough day and have been ill for two days. I think I'm losing it.

I don't remember the person's name I wanted to reply to... I didn't get the message from the admin personally, it was posted at the top of the post I received. It wasn't from our forum. I get a lot of posts from people from forums I've never heard of...very strange.

in reply to sophie4

Sophie,When you "follow" people, you will get all posts from them (posts they make on other communities included).

I've taken a look at your profile. You will get posts from all those people you follow, regardless of what community they post to.

Example: I follow someone who I now know is a member of another community. Do you know how I know this? I know this because his/her posts to this other community show up on my main feed.

I hope this helps.

Oh wow!!!MinnieMouse1234!!! You just saved my day!!!!!!!!!!!! It makes sense to me now.

Can I ask one (or two) other questions? I'm replying to you, right?!!! OK. Then I go up, past your post, and see another reply to mine. This time Luna_Child wrote to me. Somewhere I saw "Please, please don't ...can remember the words. No name at the bottom that I only now realize isn't necessary because you see who is writing at the top!!!!

I made yet ANOTHER mistake and replied to a reply to me and misspelled the person's name. You would have to scroll down to see what I mean.

Recently, I 'confessed' to another member that I don't know the keyboard and have to look at it to type but I type very fast.

Wonder what I'm going to find wrong with me next???? Oh well, I take these sort of things with good-humor at myself.

Chat later.

in reply to sophie4

Yes, you are replying to me and yes, the reply above mine is Luna_Child's. You've got it!!! Good job👍.

Yes, I do wonder what will happen to you next. You should write about it and title it "The Adventures of Sophie".😆

I'm about to go to sleep, so talk later.

Love the title!!! Hope you have a good sleep.

in reply to sophie4

Ok, I just read the rest of this thread. Wow! Even I felt hysterical! I would like to amend my title to "The Ups and Downs of Living in Sophie's World". What do you think?🙂 (I'm just having fun with you).

Hi Trigger1918,It is so kind of you to answer my sort of hysterical post! You know I did try to go to my notifications but that's not the problem.

Seems as though I'm jumping from one community to another. I only signed up for one: Anxiety and Depression Support. All of the sudden I was getting some notices from people in the Medical Community and other communities.

The one that was particularly disturbing....not the content but that I even received it, had a big heading that read something like: Notice From Admin. It went on to say that the following post had very disturbing...BTW, I just used that word, 'disturbing'...the content didn't disturb me at all. However, the notice continue by saying something like, 'if you're feeling vulnerable (etc.) please don't read it.

That wasn't my concern. I was concerned that I was getting notices from members of other communities.

I think I made a huge mistake and can figure out what to do. Somewhere, at the bottom of a post, it says something about "HIDE" or "Don't Hide" meaning only people in your community can read what you wrote or anyone in any one of the communities can read what you post. I never paid much attention to it and I saw that I had not clicked on 'Hide'. Problem now is that I can't find where it says this...I'm so incredibly stupid when it comes to anything technical, especially computers.

Thanks so much for answering. Hope you're having a great day!!!!

Thanks so much for your kind words, hurtingheart1. Aha!!! I'm not alone in having these troubles.Here's another problem...now the posts make sense...going from reply to answer...most of the time they're all out of order. Oh well!!!

How are you doing? Hope you're having a good afternoon.

Thank you!☺️I’m trying to feel better today thanks I got a little work done so that’s good!! How about you? & I’m sorry your posts are out of order🙃☹️?

sophie4 in reply to hurtingheart1

Hi!So glad you got some work done...that's good! It makes you feel productive...maybe a little more organized..a step forward..a step in the positive direction.

Getting the work done is an A Plus reply to you saying"trying to feel better today"...right?

Thanks for asking how I'm doing...not too terrific. I've had these muscle spasms since I was 16...I remember my parents taking me to the doctor...get this!!!...I even remember his name!!!

All these decades later I'm still having the spasms. Nothing helps...it's not acid reflux..anyway, it takes forever to feel better. I'm playing now, but could it be STRESS!?!?LOL

Take care of yourself!!

hurtingheart1 in reply to sophie4

Thank you!!! Sorry to to hear about your muscle spasms - I know I have certain issues similar & frustrating since I was a pretty young kid as well!!😧😆I’m sure you have tried but just in case have you ever tried magnesium powder -like calms powder in warm water to helm with the muscles spasms?? I knw that sometimes helps me with my muscles being tense and also other minerals sometimes that are needed ??? I try trace mineral drops in water as well!☺️

sophie4 in reply to hurtingheart1

WOW!!!! No, I haven't tried the things you mentioned...but you can bet I will. Thank you so much for sharing them with me. My spasms are like the ones in my neck, back, etc. A lot are due to the damage I sustained in an auto accident. I deal with those daily.The spasms I have so much trouble with are internal...not exactly in my stomach but they start in my throat and go down to my belly button...LOL!!!!

I've tried all kinds of meds...nothing works...eventually they go away !!!

Hope all is going fine with you in every way!!!

hurtingheart1 in reply to sophie4

Oh I feel you I have some neck issues stemming from when I was born then aggregated also by auto accidents as well!! But yea you might try those! I really hope they could possibly help!!

Hi Heyoutthere33,How are you?? I really can't imagine what you mean..."Didn't mean to offend" and I want you to know that I'm not the type of person who gets offended...it would take a lot to offend me. Please don't worry!!!

How are you? How's your day going?

Hi Luna_Child,Did you read what I wrote to Tigger1918? OMG..I looked at the post again and replied to TRigger1918!!!! I want to immediately apologize. Let me know if you read what Tigger1918 wrote.

in reply to sophie4

It is okay. No worries. Have a good day. I like the show the Lone Ranger and his horse trigger 😁😊

Sorry, meant Roy Rodgers and his horse trigger. The Lone Rangers horse was Sliver 🙃🙂😁

You are so right!!! And I still have this stomach thing with all the daily pain from the accident...AND, in addition to not having a working shower-head (don't know if I told you), I just went in the laundry room to turn on the washer and the knob to turn it on came out. Everything here is breaking down. Now, that makes perfect sense considering that this is an old complex, we're in our 17th year living here, and we have a landlord who doesn't do a thing. This time it's going to be way, way different. I want a shower head and a working washer. The dishwasher broke...there's all this stinky water sitting in it that I remove little by little. That means no dishwasher because he told us that he's only responsible for the fridge and range. I hate washing my hair in the kitchen sink...and I never like the bathtub...no matter what I do, including using bleach, it never looks clean.Oh, poor me...there are thousands of people who live on the streets...now thousands of people who don't have enough food...and I have the unmitigated nerve to complain.

Chat later!!!!

Hope you're having a good day...a happy day.

Hey my friend! I miss ya! I didn’t get the messages you said you sent. That’s okay though. How are you doing now?

I'm always confused 😁

Hello to my friend MinnieMouse1234!!!!I just read your post....haven't been on the computer too much. Wish I could say I feel better...even just a little...but, these spasms love me, stick around for what feels like forever, and always promise me "we'll be back"!!!! And so it goes.

How are you??? What's something new and positive in your life????

I am doing well, thanks for asking! My husband and I will be seeing family on Facebook tomorrow! I can't wait!

Hey there beautiful Sophie! ❤️ 🌈 ⛅️

sophie4 in reply to Starrlight

HELLO my friend!!!! Oh...I should say: "HELLO my beautiful, kind, funny, understanding, MULTI-MULTI-MULTI-TALENTED friend with wonderful sons, one who just turned 13 and the other son who builds and paints benches!!!!How I would ADORE seeing some pics of those benches and your pro-soccer player actually playing...no, wait...it's skateboarder, right?

Anyhow, I'm in my third day of being so sick. I have these incredibly intense spasms nor exactly in my stomach but throughout that entire track...the double over kind. And, because of covid, I haven't gone to register and see my new primary care physician (the one I had retired)...AND I didn't like the insurance so on 1/12021 I'd be switching to a new PCD once again.

The only medicine that works is compazine, a very old med that's primarily for car sickness. Can't get it over the counter...figures...so I've been applying heated towels (in the microwave) and, would you believe?...weights put directly where the worst spasms are.

Oh wow, what a boring chat!!!! Sorry!!!!!

I continue to get all confused with the order in which the posts come through to me. Drives me CRAZY. Received a notice that I have a new follower and when I clicked a page came up that said, "OPPs, Looks like that page no longer exists."

Such patient members of our community have been helping to explain things to me. The things I've been advised of make perfect sense but when I click on the avatar of the person who wrote the notice nothing happens.

This computer doesn't allow you to do very much. You can't go to the Google Store and download apps...or, I think it's called The Play Store. I have no clue how you, for example, posts your paintings...and now I'm looking and looking and can't find them which is very sad for me.

I can't get my own avitar.

And, as you can see, I'm just chock full of all of these complaints. And the notices are always out of order so I may respond to a notice someone sent months ago!!!!

And then I feel so guilty for writing too much all the time. But,hey, other members don't have to read all of it.

And...there this daily depression and most of the time over-the-top anxiety I contend with...blah, blah, blah.

Starrlight, from what I can gather, you're feeling in much better spirits! GREAT!!!! Seems to me that when you're expressing your creativity, you feel better...or, you feel better when you're expressing yourself creatively!

Do you have Thanksgiving Plans that are traditional for you or has the covid altered them? Do you decorate for Thanksgiving and also for Christmas???? How gorgeous your home must look!!!!

Take extra, extra good care of yourself!!! So glad to be back in touch!

Oh my, Starrlight!!! So sorry!!! Hope you're feeling much better now. I know from experience how careful you need to be with the dosage of stuff...it's like, sometimes I think, more is better...and soon I'm sorry I thought that!!! Betcha you might be able to relate.

YOU, my dear Starrlight, are the "cutie pie"...oh so "awesome" , "sweet"sweet, sweet, caring, loving amazing person!!! I'm just a person who tries to be a good person...AND I'm the person who has the privilege of having you as a friend, who adores, adores, adores your artistic talent expressed in your paintings (they really speak to me...and I know you're multi-talented!!!)...and who celebrates your inner and outer beauty!!

Feel better...I'll write tomorrow.

Now... SMILE!!!!
