...See more Why do you not have any mods or admins of any kind suppressing spammers?! People are discouraged from using this website & encouraged to go elsewhere to a similar website--including myself--when they see that no action is being taken to make the forums accessible & useful. Swarming every single forum with spam posts is a huge problem & I don't see anyone with the power to do something about it doing anything.

...See more Throughout my life, the #1 tool I use to cope with anything--from anger to depression to grief--has been through interaction with my pets, a roommate's pets, or by volunteering at a local animal shelter. It's very soothing to be able to pet a cat & have it purr & cuddle with you & listen to you. As I've mentioned elsewhere, the #1 target of my anger is myself. Cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rats--my pets don't judge me. And for that, I'm grateful to all the pets I have had, the guinea pig I have now, & my roommate's cat.
I can't stand ramblers.

...See more One of my major pet peeves is people who ramble. I deal with it mostly at home but do encounter this in other places, & it absolutely pisses me off. My roommate is incapable of speaking unless it is for a bare minimum of 20 minutes. From what I've seen over the last 2 years, I'm the only person in his life who doesn't tolerate that crap. The moment a single word comes out of his mouth, it doesn't matter where he is, who he's talking to, or what the subject matter is. He can't even say hello to strangers without talking them to death in the process. To the rambler, all I have to say is: your right so speak does not override my right to keep silent. Just because you want to talk for hours on end, it doesn't mean that I am required to sit there & listen to it. Period.
Where is the Events Room?

...See more The calendar says there's supposed to be Quiz Night in the "Events Room," but I can't find it & have never been able to find it. I used to be on 7 Cups a couple years ago, but don't recall user name & password & no longer have access to the email address I used. That said, this is the only problem I've had with 7 Cups of Tea both then & now-I can never figure out where the Events Room is.
