you just said to me in your OP and for pointing out something I never realized.  Maybe it's just me, but I never worried about my post no longer being on the first page, cause I thought everyone was like me in the aspect, that they would be curious about what's going on and look way beyond the first page to catch up on anything they may have missed.  So location of my ad or others never entered my mind, so for that I apologize to anyone who I may have irritated by my posts.   I always thought that the headline and contents of an ad would be the thing that would draw one's attention towards the post or person.  I was wrong.  As far as your poetry, oh I am so sorry, but this is the honest truth, I never noticed you had poetry in your ads, too.  I just tried to get more creative with my ads, to hopefully get men interested and when doing so, I found I had a talent for writing erotic poetry.  So I kept at it.  I am so sorry, I should just pay more attention.  I just wanted to meet people, make friends, get involved and people involved in my posts and me.  I guess I just did it in all the wrong ways.  I seemed to have caused many just stress and problems posting, so I backed off.  Now I have started to use my head in my posts, rather then only my feelings.  

Thank you and again I apologize too.

I wish too that we could all just get along, work together to help each other and try to help keep everyone safe and be more civil and respectful to each other and just enjoy meeting others.  Forget jealousy, minor mistakes and worrying about silly things that don't really matter.  There are too many more important things in life to worry about.  Right?!

Take care and good luck to you Fi!

Hugs,

No need to apologize, for as I said, you were only doing what we all do when we are new, and not really anything wrong. I wish you all the best too. Thanks for responding. I hope we can all learn to be more caring and understanding of each other.

Well done. Grandma was right, a lady is always classy.

I do believe I owe you an apology. When you first came to this board, and the other one, I saw you posting over and over and over again, and I was irritated. I read your poetry, and thought you were copying my style. That was ridiculous of me, as our writing is very different. Even if you were, I should have been flattered, not upset. Your writing gets better and better, and you have a wonderful sense of humor.

I was not the only one who was irritated, but that really doesn't matter. You did not realize that your posts were pushing everyone's ad posts off the first page because you were new, and really, that doesn't matter either. We could not have good conversation here on the board if all our ads had to remain on the first page. Often, people will read past the first page, especially if they have been away for a few days.

What matters most to me is that I forgot that I did the same thing when I was new on the scene, and that I failed in my responsibility to help someone new. We all make mistakes, like posting on the wrong board, or posting too often when we are new. I have been impressed with the way you have been handling yourself, and what you have to say. Now I know why those other ladies were so standoffish toward me when I was new. I hope you will forgive me, and let us start again. I am making this apology public because you deserve that much. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could establish a sense of community here in which the ladies are genuinely helpful toward each other?

Hugs, Fi
