Travel Forum & Career Advice Forum

[tmma 467]

if someone spouts off (cause they know ) others are able to see what is going on and help correct the mis information.

BINGO on the bolded. Advice/guidance over PM is a very very bad idea, and I for one have not changed my mind over my original post about the addition of more forums.

O/T I did a chuckle and double take at the member title too!

And I sniped at you because I think your member title is over-the-top. I don't know what you are trying to imply with it, but it makes you look silly.

Sounds like a personal problem that nobody can help but yourself. Perhaps you should take advice from your own member title and "get over it".

Thanks for sharing.

Doctor-Heal thyself.

I earned my Get. Over. It. title by being beaten up in countless threads trying to offer advice to people.

That's how you earn your stripes on a DIY message board. By trying to help.

A lot of newer members to this board wonder where the titles come from. They don't realize we can give them to ourselves. I really think yours is misleading.

Hmmmm, my title was given to me by members as well. Those that have benefited from my passion for HELPING OTHERS, not just sniping people's ideas because I don't like their title. As for mine being misleading...perhaps it has to do with my explaining the NVC process in plain enough English, that some people have been able to reduce time at NVC from 3 to 6 months, to a single month, with a current fastest case through NVC using my guide of 13 days.

So....what would legitimize my title in your mind, so that you don't feel the need to snipe at me without warrant?

If you know what it's like being "beaten up in countless threads trying to offer advice to people" then why do you persist in doing it here?

Note, I'm not trying to earn any "stripes", just trying to help people get through the BS of immigration. Enjoy your stripes, and wear them well.

Enough already, you lot don't like each other I get it, I think everyone else will too.

I for one would really like and appreciate other opinions about the original TOPIC.

I have no problem with Ling Ling. I just think his title is silly.

If you're really that good, you don't need to broadcast it. Ya know?

[Ling Ling 22]

If you're really that good, you don't need to broadcast it. Ya know?

WOW, that's really quite a contrast from your ideal of earning your title and "stripes".

Kind of a "double standard"? At the end of the day, it's just pixels on the screen..."get over it".

OK...back to topic.

So Capt...how do we/you go about deciding to implement a new forum or not?

[Old Dominion 26]

umm....rebeccajo sounds like a redneck's name. Billy Bob married her.

If you don't like me "broadcasting it", maybe you should start a thread about rules for user titles, but broadcasting it let's my friends here,

know that I appreciate the name they gave, and I don't think there's anything wrong with broadcasting that I help people.

OK...back to topic.

Not nice...we're trying to get back on topic.

Funny, but not nice

I should clarify.... The buddy idea was not for immigration issues at all. It was for "making new local friends" and a way to talk to local people that may have "local geographic and social" information on helping fellow new immigrants settle in. Immigration discussion is as always best on the forums.

That sounds GOOD, and im all for that happening.

Nothing wrong with being a fan of Capt. Ewok, but I think you'd agree with him even if he suggested soup sandwiches.

I agree with Ling Ling, who is always very intuitive, that a careers forum for newcomers would be a wonderful asset. The US can be a jungle without paths when it comes to offering insight to people from overseas who want to land on both feet as soon as possible. Here, especially, the mentoring concept could work.

Thanks for having an open mind.

Firstly, you dont know me from anywhere, secondly i agree with him bc HE makes sense. Third, i think your only arguing with me now for the sake of wanting to argue. All i have to say is grow up, there are ppl that will agree with you and ppl who wont, the sooner you accept that, the better off you will be.

He made sense to YOU, when you THOUGHT he was advocating a buddy system for immigration, or when he EXPLAINED that it was for non-immigration?

How are those soup sandwiches coming along?

Damnit...somebody close this thread...it's circling the drain thanks to the hator-aid.

Maybe not a nice observation via humor, but I wouldn't call it a personal attack.

[Sinergy 3]

Yes its always easier to close the thread when you cant make ppl agree with you

I agree with ewok, and i respect ewok and his suggestions. If i didnt, id say i didnt. However i do on this topic. It is not my fault that you can not stand it!

It was a personal attack, it was not humor at all, it was a personal attack on becca.

Just as you have personally attacked me on this thread!

My last word is i like the buddy system, and i dont think there should be more forums for work/travel. Its clearly up to ewok to decide.

Im no longer contributing to the ugly argument you are willing to continue and i condone the personal attacks that you find funny.

Nope.

My parents named me Rebecca JoAnn.

Rebecca for my grandmother and JoAnn because I guess it sounded good.

As a child I was called 'Becky Jo' and that is still what my family calls me.

My husband calls me Rebecca - most others call me Becca.

And his name is Robert Wesley. After his uncle Robert and John Wesley, the famous protestant.

He can trace his lineage to a Lord during mideval times in Ireland. I can trace mine to the American Revolution.

I only eat possum on days that end in "Y", I disdain the wearing of shoes, and I'm late getting down to DHHR to get my foodstamps renewed for January.

Ahhh- I see..The folks that don't agree with you "hate you"?

...Yes, that MUST be it. After all, it couldn't be that the folks that disagree with you have as valid a point as you do? No 'course not.

Yeah you are right, your ideas suck JUST because they come from YOU, and we disagree because wwe are "hators"....... no other reason at all. /that was sarcasm btw, b4 you hit that report button/.
