    No, you're right, this is MUCH better than ignoring people.  (LRB, last one, I promise. Smile )

      That is how the group rolls everyone gives advice unsolicited or otherwise.

       

      Not exactly.

       

      How this group "rolled" in my experience prior to your arrival on the scene (limited though it may be) was as is described at the beginning of each thread: "While this thread is a terrific source of motivation for runners and serves as outstanding accountability, you’ll quickly find this remarkable group to be highly supportive of all life experiences."

       

      Yours, Jedi, was the first post I've seen in which someone provided unsolicited advice that appeared to lack any supportive characteristics whatsoever.  There are plenty of times when someone may post here or elsewhere on the forum a request for advice about their mileage, their pace, etc.  And at that point, I think the person is fair game.  But that wasn't the case here, so I'd respectfully request that you keep your advice to yourself until it is solicited.

          It does not surprise me, as you have a history of overreacting to everything.  I didn't say anything in that group that we have not said in that group every day.  Sounds like you didn't understand the dynamics of that group.

           

          So this "history of overreacting" you're referring to seems to have originated from a time you lied and then publicly chastised her like a child. Now you're going to blame her for someone else acting like a jerk? I can't imagine why she doesn't like you. With friends like that who needs enemies?

              Should I post about candy or alcohol?

                    As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

                              Yes, tequila......... yum yum.

                              I like to mix mine though, some tequila and rum, sometimes with a Black Mamba (energy drink), so delicious.

                              I haven't done much drinking for over  a year though........ the 10 months I was preggo and the 10 months of my beautiful little boy's life, but when I go out with family and friends, and someone can drive for me, you betcha ass I will have a couple margaritas!

                                I propose we funnel all the meltdowns into a single thread. One appears to have been generously created (or name-changed) for just that purpose.
