Don't follow me ....

I'm lost too! So wonder why you, Radish, would be following me???

If you don't want members to follow you, you can switch this off in your account settings.

1) Click your username at top of page

2) Click Account

3) Scroll down to the Privacy section

4) Untick the option to 'Allow other users to follow me'

Thanks RedApple,

thyr01d,

Another member might follow because they consider the questions you ask and the answers you invoke are related to their own condition.

It is absolutely OK to follow or be followed but as Red Apple has explained, if you would rather not, then this option is available too.

Posts can also be followed if of a particular interest.

Oh dear, my reply was meant to be light-hearted, which is why I quoted the one-liner: "..... I'm lost too".

[Hidden in reply to thyr01d]

Haha .... Join the club thyr01d.

Ha Ha I see you have the same sat nav as me lol...

[thyr01d in reply to Hidden]

So relieved you have a similar soh.

Did you hear about the Japanese tourists in a hire care in Australia who wanted to go to one of the islands near the barrier reef?

They could see the island clearly and when the sat nav told them "straight on for ... miles", they trustingly drove into the sea ... and kept going until the car was submerged!

Lol I can believe it... I argue with mine! It is menopausal when it comes to large roundabouts! the last argument we had I threw it on the back seat and the air was blue. ( Thankfully there was no one on the back seat. ) I'd like to say 'I'd be lost without it... but it's the other way around usually'.

[thyr01d in reply to Hidden]

I love your reply - very funny!

Nice to be in touch

Could you not PM poor Radish rather than making your comments public? She seems to have unfollowed you, now, anyway.

[thyr01d]

I am so sorry, especially to you Radish, I really was making a light hearted comment, I thought it must be a mistake to be following me, hence the "..... I'm lost too" which among my friends is a joke.

Apologies all round, the last thing I meant to do was upset anyone.

Sometimes, it's hard to convey what you really mean when facial expressions aren't there to provide the usual clues. And when posting in this community, it's worth remembering that hypothyroidism can negatively affect one's sense of humour when treatment isn't optimal. The effects of thyroid disorders on personality can be quite staggering

Paranoia is a typical symptom, so your innocent light hearted comment could be taken as you being paranoid at being followed. That's why I responded with instructions on how to change your settings

Hopefully Radish will see your apology and feel re-assured now though.

[thyr01d]

Yes, I think I've learnt this lesson now!
