That looks like Juda's kiss (you). I'm tired of religious people not ''walking the talk'' (Georgia). Give a home to the homeless !!!!!((Catlady))
Another poster, whose name I will not mention, has said in a brief moment of honesty in the recent past that s(he) is never empathetic as s(he) has no real problems and can't relate to those who do. Just wait, poster, life has a way of catching up. Maybe you'll be charmed to the end, I don't know.
you didn't offend me at all Catlady.. ☺ , and I agree with many of your points too, as I do some others, I just don't want you or anyone falling out over a member who may have little interest in taking anyone's advice, ..it's never worth losing friends over...@hollydolly - I don't mind beating dead horses, unlike live horses they don't suffer pain. Sorry if I offended you with my bad behavior but lots of people here agree with me and I'm betting a lot more others agree but ain't saying it. But, I promise you not to beat anymore that dead-horse that is Patnono, I'll just ignore those pathetic threads that rear up their ugly heads every few weeks.
Well, you see It Ain't Necessarily So. It's a crapshoot.Wow! I must have missed that quite shocking post - it's obviously not on this thread.
Woe to the smug ones for they will one day be knocked off their self-erected pedestals. (I'm betting something like that is written in the Bible or other book of wisdom.)
Maybe so, but bad karma usually does swing back at us now and then. Some get more battered than others in this life though, I'd definitely concede that point.Well, you see It Ain't Necessarily So. It's a crapshoot.
You (we) can't know that; don't know that; have no way of knowing that. The opposite could just as well be true.She was here Yesterday at 8:24 AM , probably laughing her head off!
Laughing her hind end off?The opposite could just as well be true.
that's why I said "probably" instead of "certainly"You (we) can't know that; don't know that; have no way of knowing that. The opposite could just as well be true.
From what I'm reading, seems some took issue with some of your replies (??) I will admit I've seen your replies in other threads and thought "Wow...kind of cold hearted." You may need empathy from this forum one day. My mother used to say "you never know what you're coming to in this life". BUT I recognize that you are a practical, no nonsense person and I can respect that. It's just that sometimes life is not so "pat", so cut and dry for some people. Some have no coping skills at all. One of the first of the posts I read by Patnono did mention [her] having a mental problem that hindered finding work awhile back...so don't know how that factors in her being able to resolve pressing problems. I do know that those with mental health issues can't be expected to function like those who don't have them.Well, she hasn't replied to the question about when she filed for bankruptcy asked by MANY posters. And she would not reply to me about her daughter living in El Paso. I remember her saying she tried to discourage her from moving and said she would not be able to afford to visit them.
I've subscribed to the adage its best to have "loving indifference" to what might be causing the person not to respond to advice.From what I'm reading, seems some took issue with some of your replies (??)

I have a friend who never took good advice. And yes there's always "reasons" and excuses. It can be vert frustrating. She has experienced the consequences and admitted she wished she had taken my advice (a few times). But I've never been short with her or un-empathetic. I just tell her now that she has to make her own decisions. I don't waste my time. Someone mentioned not beating a dead horse in another reply. My philosophy regarding the adage "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink" is it won't be my fault if the fool horse dies of dehydration.
