Here's a thought
By Tricia

Clip to ScrapBook   
I might be way off base but here goes. A while back my adult son was mad about some guest book entries on his website. I mean he was furious. I read through what the person had been writing and then told him that he shouldn't
be so quick to anger and to be careful how he responds because you never know what situation the person was in that pushed him to write what he wrote. Here are a few of the things I shared with him. The poster could be a child who just doesn't know any better (remember the hang up calls kids used to make? ie; "Is your refrigerator running? Then you'd better catch it."). Or it
could be a person confined to a bed or wheel chair who is bored to tears and is just trying to get attention. Any attention. Or someone who is so depressed or stressed that they are reaching out to anyone in anyway they can to get attention. I think you get the idea. And if this does give flashbacks from a year ago then it could very well be one of the cases I listed or something worse. People do strange things when things aren't right in their lives. Since we don't have to register on this website in order to post then we can make up any name we want. My name is the real deal but my email address is down until my server gets it straight. I have a website: teacher2k.com Of course it is no where near done but I've spent a lot of time on the graphics and layouts. When I get the time I will start adding lots of content! I have about 400 poems I want to put on there which will take forever! Anyhow back to the subject. Don't take offense to anything I said because I am just sharing some thoughts on the subject. After looking around I noticed a few female names that sound kinda like Mark but I could be WAY OFF BASE! Hopefully he'll tire of this game and go away. I love reading all the posts because it really gives you a look at how people think and what they could really be saying between the lines.
