I really want to cooperate, but I don't know how. What are we doing?

  • Conga line?
  • Rounds of mini blueberry muffins? (Oooh, that sounds good!)
  • Rounding up the cats and getting them adopted?
  • Starting a business that restores old tubas? (ONLY tubas!)
  • Scuba diving with no air in the tank?
  • Trying to get a shark to fight a bear?
  • Trying to get across the freeway in LA during rushhour? (jk, that would be easy)
  • Getting those suction cup thingys for our hands and climbing to the top of a skyscraper on the outside of a building? (Elevators are for suckers)
  • Going through the drive-thru backwards? (Car going forward, but we're turned around. Hard to drive like that.)
  • Giving baskets of food to homeless people? (Hey, there's a good idea)
  • Running around in circles until we get dizzy and fall down?
  • Seeing who can drink the most Kombucha in one sitting?
  • Try to scam @lynncoyle1 for upvotes?

Okay, I feel like that's a fairly good list of guesses. One of those has got to be it. Maybe I'll have decided which one by tomorrow.

singing There's going to be a present when I decide!!! :D
angry Oh, and you might not like it...but I will!

hahahaha this is awesome @themanwithnoname!! I believe the answer is in there somewhere, but as an aside, if you ever get those suction cup thingys, I'm game :)

Thanks btw for checking in with Brian; we had a couple of rough days here, but all is well again. We both sincerely appreciate your thoughtfulness.

I forgot about this comment. I was going to come back and flag him, but then I forgot. I'll keep you in mind for suction-cup-skyscraper climbing.
I don't remember checking in with him, but I forget a lot of things. Regardless, I'm glad things have gotten better. You both continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you...yes, things are back to our version of normal.

I reached out to @khairul1306 on his post and got the same response to my comment...you know, the upvote and follow me business. So I politely replied that it's not a great idea to be doing that, but of course explained it better, and @khairul1306 replied with a big thank you for the advice and that as a new person, he just didn't know how to act. I just referred him to @newbieresteemday to check out what's going on there.

You know, I'm a firm believer in 2nd chances, but not 3rd or 4th ones. And I believe that most bad behaviour is simply because the person doesn't know any better. Once I pass on my suggestions, then I wait to see the response. This one gives me hope :)

Good for you for having patience with him. You're right, oftentimes people act the way they do because they don't know any better. Sometimes they want to do better and once you correct them, they change their behavior and are productive rather than destructive. Hopefully this is the case with him. Especially now that I have someone delegating to me, I'm extra careful of how I treat people, because I don't want my actions to reflect poorly on our benefactor. Not that I was mean or rude before, but if I'm going to flag someone, I want to make sure that I've given them chances to improve.

My thoughts exactly. I am an eternal optimist and believe in people's ability to change. I was also a teacher for many years, so I saw learned behaviour enough times to count on it now. Hope I can say that about this fellow down the road. It also helps that I have the patience of a saint :)

Sorry I actually came at the wrong time.
I really do not know this how.
So, thanks for all friends who have provided support to me.
I will study harder.
Sorry everyone, I hope this can be a good start

Your apology is awesome, thank you. I realise after talking to you, that you didn't know you were doing anything wrong, so it's all good:)

Hey @themanwithnoname and @galenkp, check it out! @khairul1306 is sorry, and just didn't know any better. He is off to a fresh start!

This platform is about community and each member needs to understand that they are welcome, as are you. However engaging in the way you attempted to is not well received and will only result in you losing far more than you hope to gain @khairul1306. Engage in a meaningful way and you will reap what you sow.

Cooperate with what?

That's what I was wondering @themanwithnoname :)

Well, Iā€™m impressed. You actually got the ellipsis right in this post @khairul1306. Three dots, not two or four. Well done! (...)
