Invisibility or "I think it was me actually"

He gets taken off for the day on his birthday. I get a gift and card. I'm always last to be considered for anything. I do all the planning, preparation, paying etc for Christmas, birthdays etc but am still the afterthought. It upsets sometimes."

There's a remedy for that. Stop doing all the planning etc. Delegate it, with a to-do list to remind whoever is to do it.
And then just sit it out when nothing gets done :-)

I don't know if it is possible, but having a "like" button as on Facebook would show that people have read the posting and agree with it. So acknowledging you and the point you have made. Even if they don't post a reply as such - it's much quicker than posting a response.

Yep ?

Forget the online stuff - isn't this a situation lots of us have in social situations? We make a witty riposte, no-one takes a blind bit of notice and 5 minutes later someone says exactly the same thing and everyone falls over themselves to acknowledge how clever they are. Grrrr.......

Don't do the work, jimmy. Maybe they'll notice.

ROFL

Well, on this occasion it wasn't me you didn't notice - now should I be offended or not?

Have no idea what you're on about maw. If you're on about being "noticed" Ive sort of seen your posts but to be fair, never been particularly interested in airy fairy ideas, so sort of passed you by

Why people crave to be noticed is pretty bizzare. I come here and say what I want then leave.

Oh, I didn't notice someone else saying that

I didn't make the point, I put it in italics with a because it was someone else's point

It was quoted from SAAK as I understand. (The marks indicate a quotation usually from another post)

"Why people crave to be noticed is pretty bizzare. "

That's an unusual point you've made, Jalima. What made you think of that?

Lewd and leery sounds exciting!!
More please

Her posts decried as "airy fairy"
MawBroon sat down aben the dairy
And thought of answers lewd and leery
But better o'it thocht so just,
"Aw, hawd yer wheesht " was her riposte.

Why people crave to be noticed is pretty bizzare.


Keep the 'airy-fairy' poems coming MawBroon please

FarNorth no, some threads are meant to be
educational, patronising and demands for links and proof not conversations or an exchange of opinions.
Hadn't you noticed?

Threads and posts are sort of meant to be conversations, aren't they?
Some people sort of don't get that.

And if you'd craftily switched it back again, ann, she'd have been sure to tell everyone that's you'd tried to fix it and you hadn't a clue!

"Virtue is its own reward"? It has to be. You don't get diamonds and a mink for virtue.

When someone seeing her ring exclaimed "Goodness!", Mae West replied, "Goodness had nothing to do with it, dear!"

I find mind ( !) subconsciously answers a week later and they think you're crazy !!!

Who said "virtue is its own reward"?
Pshaw!

Mode!!

In slightly different context a friend and I went yo visit s mutual friend last week.
She mentioned that her i-pad wasn't working.
I said I would look at it.
I went in to settings, switched airplane move off, and reset. When it was OK I said its fine now and she said oh it must have been an intermittent fault with the server. She can whistle next time.
