    I'm glad someone (Eschaton) thinks along the same lines as me


    I don’t think we’re alone either but some just don’t see it.

    OP needs a new hobby.

    OP has been back both last night and this morning yet hasn’t returned to her only thread.

    How very familiar.

    I wonder how exciting story 3 will be?

    It might be because the last few posts in this thread are openly hostile towards her?

    Just a thought....

    Or maybe he/she has form for it, like the last thread. Like the others with his/her last username.

    But if it makes you feel better, keep giving the advice like you have been doing.
  • Well it has become a weird 'virtual support thread' now with people offering hugs so should probably be closed/deleted.

    Why?? I've seen some ridiculous threads on here but I think this is genuine (and even if not there is some good advice for others)

    Why on earth should a thread be closed because people are being supportive of the OP? The reason many people come here is to receive advice and support from an online community anonymously which they may not be able to access in the real world

    If I hadn’t see the other threads then it would have been plausible for this to be genuine.

    People are genuinely trying to help but are getting the pish ripped right out of them.

    Were this my thread, once positive/helpful posts had all but disappeared, I would not continue to post. Once a post degenerates into a b-1tch fest - what is the point?

    Any ending to this story Kirstie?


    You are some girl for starting stories and never finishing them.


    I hope the Air France/KLM story doesn’t go the same way as all the others.
