Just through the connection. I mean, we're in America. 🤣

Take this discussion over to the General Interest board. That’s where all the collectors and traders hang out anyway.

James Kelly9 said:In the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, and the Quran, God tells people, "Leave everything behind and surrender only to Me."😉

Seriously? I missed that part. I had no idea you’d managed to soak up all of that just from those books.☕

So, I’m using Microsoft, and my routine is always the same: hit post reply, take a quick peek at everything before actually hitting send—which I usually do if I'm dropping a link—then just click post. If I exit the thread and come back, it's right there waiting for me. When I want to check for any new updates, I'll either just smash F5 or hop out of the thread and dive back in. And since I stay logged in constantly, I don't have to deal with the headache of signing in every single time.
Doesn't seem to be an issue on my end.

Give it another shot and let me know if it still glitches out on you. It really should work. It's working fine for me.

So, how's everyone holding up over there? 🤷

I honestly don't get it. Everything seems fine on my end, and things should be looking just as steady on the forums.

restlessangler4 said:I'm back—for the third time now. For some reason, my previous two posts aren't showing up, though I have a feeling once I hit send on this one, they'll finally appear... and then everything will probably vanish again once I log out.

Right now, you don't have a single one besides this specific one. Look, your posts aren't just going to vanish into thin air on their own. A moderator would have to manually delete them, and I highly doubt there's some mod sitting there in ambush, waiting for you to click "submit" just to wipe it instantly. That’s weird. You have a decent post count, too, so this doesn't make sense.
I went through this exact same thing when I first joined. My stuff kept disappearing until I realized I was doing something wrong with how I was submitting. Honestly, I couldn't even figure out where it was going. Usually, after I'd type everything out, the site would ask me to re-enter all my login info, and then once I actually sent it... nothing. Just gone.

If you're using the quick reply box and hitting send, just make sure you're actually posting within the correct thread.

brightwalker12 said:Do you realize this is exactly what any fanatic spits out the moment someone questions their religion? Is that why you laugh when people threaten you with hell?...😉

What are you even talking about? What fanatic? What religion? I have no idea what you're on about. I'm not some zealot, and I don't follow any specific faith, so this makes zero sense to me.
Who am I laughing at?? Where did I even say that? Is someone threatening *me*? What is wrong with you? 🤷

brightwalker12 said:Oh right, right after your Reiki initiation, wasn't it? 😉

Reiki? What are you even talking about? Seriously, I can't follow your logic at all.
Are you actually mocking me??

Drew Morgan said:Take your advice and give it to yourself. As for the expert, I assume you mean the person who started this thread...

I already know all that, so what's the point in telling myself?

The OP is saying the exact same thing, too.

brightwalker12 said:Aren't you getting a little carried away with those hospital stories?

I already knew all of this before I even picked up his book, let alone anything else.

Drew Morgan said:Your biggest life lesson is learning how to stop being so narrow-minded and dogmatic.

What does the local karma expert have to say about that? Is it that obvious?

I’m not being dogmatic; I’m just stating facts. They exist. If someone wants to accept them and actually start changing, fine. If not, they can live however they want, but they'll eventually realize—far too late—that they missed the boat. All because they were too cocky to admit they were wrong.

And who exactly here is the expert?😕

If you head over to another provider, you won't have any issues at all.

I stopped by AT&T on Friday just to poke around a bit, and man... they are throwing money away on those massive ad campaigns.🤣

Do you still have three posts showing up for today? Or did you end up writing more than that?

^^Yeah, it already is. This version sounds way better.

jademarlin26 said:Which diseases?

You want to talk about diseases?? Real disease!!

jademarlin26 I can't even begin to tell you where to start with this one. It’s just... what is it with people lately? Always talking, always making noise, but does anyone actually listen? I doubt it. Probably not. Everything feels like it's moving too fast and yet nothing ever changes. You look around and it's all just noise. Anyway, what was I saying? Right. This whole thing. Just another day in the life, I guess. What do you think? Is it just me, or is everything getting weirder?
Maybe if people just swapped out the word "truth" for "my own little fantasy" or "just my daydreaming," they wouldn't be spitting venom at everyone all the time. Who knows? Maybe that would change things. 🤷

You think so? Honestly, I can already see the "experts" lining up, ready to complain that it doesn't suit their precious sensibilities. There’s always someone, isn't there? Someone who just can't stand anything being done differently.😍

What if someone actually loved another person more than anything else in this world? Just... what if? It’s a heavy thought, isn't it? Most people spend their lives chasing shadows, running from themselves, or getting tangled up in the shallow end of everything. But then you wonder about that one extreme. That absolute, total devotion where nothing else—not money, not status, not even your own survival—matters anymore. Is that even possible in a place like this? Or is it just something we tell ourselves to make the loneliness feel less permanent? I don't know. Maybe it's beautiful. Or maybe it's just another way to break your own heart.And honestly? Instead of some imaginary "friend" popping up out of nowhere... everyone would just be better off. Wouldn't they?

Never! That’s exactly where all the sickness starts.

@James Kelly9—can you give me a list of what you’re reading lately?

We seem to be on the same wavelength, but I really don't feel like typing out a whole bibliography here. People are just too lazy to actually read, honestly. You try to lay out the truth and they just spit on you for it. So, I usually steer clear of those topics... but this one caught my eye.

I suspect there are plenty more principles out there, but at the end of the day, the most important thing is that a person loves God more than anything else in this world. Everything starts and ends right there.

I mean, why didn't you just ask him where he even gets his supplies? 😲 Who knows, right? We don't even know what the guy looks like.

So, anyway, did you actually drink some water or what? If you did, good for you. 🤣

Or maybe your buddy's just a lefty and you adjusted your whole setup to match. 😁

Honestly, that test is just a massive money pit. It’s expensive and, frankly, a complete waste of cash when you consider that $12 already does a killer job and stays incredibly accurate. If you're going to bother doing it at all, you might as well use your first morning urine to get any sense of reliability.

Look, just run the test yourself first, then you can worry about what ☕ thinks about it.

I know this guy. We ended up side-by-side at a trade show once—he was hawking oil and I was selling clothes. Man was moving product like crazy, maybe a hundred sales an hour? His trunk was absolutely packed with bottles; he cleared out a massive haul in just a few hours.

He kept insisting it was locally sourced, artisanal stuff. They were in glass bottles, mostly, all looking pretty much identical with the same labels and everything.

And look, if you aren't the type to go out and hit the grocery stores, it’s just easier to hand him $13.

get m 😢

What did I even tell you? Just that you were running late.
Well, look at us now... we're back to a full house of four with m.

Starting over next month🤣🤣🤣🤣.

analogskipper12 said:@ rapidrider3 my cycle has never been late before (okay, fine, maybe back in my teens, but that was ages ago🤣)
I don't have any cysts, honestly. I made sure to get thoroughly checked out by several specialists before we even started trying to conceive☕
A cyst would have messed up my period anyway, and wouldn't it show up on a pelvic ultrasound?

But I'm already spiraling here. What am I supposed to do?
Are there any biochemists or doctors among us—whether we're actually pregnant or just wannabes?
I mean, if I had gotten my period, I’d know we missed our window for this cycle🙂 but right now, I'm completely lost on what the next move is.🤷

I really don't know. Either you're just stressing too much and that's the culprit, who knows. It happened to me once—missed by two weeks, bought three different tests, all negative. I was losing my mind. I told myself, "just get through the weekend and go to the doctor," and then boom, my period shows up immediately.

As for why? God knows. A little stress here, some nerves there, husband getting on my last nerve, kids being kids, bills piling up... the body keeps score of all that crap.

Just wait until your next period is due, then maybe go get some blood work done. Honestly, I'm not sure how else I can help.

Good luck.😍
