Ive just read a post on vj from meauxna replying to a thread, in it she said that a women on britexpats got her whole AOS expedited due to here husband being military deployed, does anyone remember this person? my hubby is leaving in april for 6 months, any help apreciated

Do a search for hopelessinks. Searching first would have saved you sometime rather than to post about something you read in another forum. Or you might have PM'd meauxna privately.

wow rete I apologise if ive affended you, never expected to get that reply from you, and there I was defending you this morning, I have searched, couldnt find nothing, I would have pmed meauna but I didnt see her online, and hubby had an hour before he went to work so I thought I might have got a response from someone that could have helped him as he was going to make some calls from work concerning this matter, I just thought someone on here might remember the thread in question, I will think before I post a question again, I think hopeless was quit harsh, some of us are still learning the site and forum arena

Hi

Hopelessinks was the name of the poster to search for not a reference to you being hopeless.

meauxna

hi sparkle,
We all had quite a laugh over that user's nickname which is *hopelessinks*. I always read it as 'hopeless inks' but it turned out to be 'hopeless in ks' like kansas <g>
PM me if you have a problem finding her posts on the topic; I'm online during the day.

now who looks the idiot and I will call myself totally helpless now, thx for the clarification maggs, I feel totally silly now, lol, RETE WILL YOU EVER FORGIVE ME, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, i THOUGHT IT DIDNT SEEM LIKE A RESPONSE i WOULD NORMALLY GET FROM YOU

meauxna

lol, Julie's username strikes again!

It was Julie, right? She's forever 'inks' in my mind

greensparkle

lol, what a nightmare, lol

Rete

firstly I did not call you hopeless....the poster's name is hopelessinks

secondly, you talked about another forum on BE that has lead to many heated arguments between Mr. Udall, myself, meauxna, etc. Another poster was asked not to post remarks concerning what they have read or heard in another site on this one as it is bad form.

thirdly, a simple search would have given you your poster. All is used for a search word was "deployed".

fourthly, BE enjoys a PM function. You remarked on a post Meauxna wrote on another forum other than this one which is bad form. It would have been far easily to ask her privately then to bandy her name regarding something she posted on another forum in this one.

Harsh? Perhaps, but truthful. And there is nothing to forgive.

I always read it as "hopeless sinks" -- guess I added an extra "s" in there for no reason at all...

I read it that way for the longest time, too. You're not alone.

LOL, me too in the beginning

Sparkle ... if you need to speak to Julie about this let me know as I have her on my IM and will tell her to come around and get in touch with you.

Rete, do you not realise quite how harsh you come across sometimes?

FWIW, the OP has already said that she is unfamiliar with forum mores ("some of us are still learning the site and forum arena"), so would it hurt to be just a little bit gentler?

greensparkle

thx everyone for your sound advice, I will in future watch how I post, really I will, my apologys to rete and meauxna, for my bad judgement

Rete

That is the expat not knowing a NY attitude ;-) just as the NY attitude doesn't know the British humour ))

I honestly was not being harsh and sparkle knows that. We have PM'd privately. All is well. But thanks for the critique. All opinions are welcomed for consideration ;-)
