The last time that I checked I don’t have to call them what everyone else calls them. Also thread is something that goes into a needle that you sew with.

I mean people like you who think that you can kick to the floor someone who isn’t like you.

What is it anyways that y’all think that I have lied about? As for what my beliefs are, if you think that they are mean, oh well. That is a choice that you show no sign of changing, so why should I change what I believe in? Even if you changed the way that you think of what I believe in, I still wouldn’t change what I believe in because what I believe in makes sense to me, whether it makes sense to other people or not. 🙂 🙂 🙂

I never said that I did it alone at age 4, but if that is the idea that you and everyone else here ended up getting, it was never once my intention to give y’all such an impression.

> [@Cyros](#):
>
> Not to nitpick, well okay, to nitpick, your quotes don’t back up your claim. She said she had been helping to take care of someone since she was 4 (fairly unbelievable in any meaningful way) and has been doing it alone since 16.

I’ve been doing it alone since 14, not 16.  
God bless you five always!!!

You implied that it’s been since you were 4. You need to communicate more clearly. Or stop stretching the truth.

Never heard the expression “the thread of the conversation.”?

It means the main topic. Just like each thread here has a main topic. A chat wanders from topic to topic.

^^^ I haven’t stretched the truth. Right now it has been 16 years that I have taken care of my mom alone, but all together it has been 27 years because I was four when she first got sick in 1986. In July of this year, it will be 17 years because July of 1996 is when we left where we used to live and came here to East Tennessee.

Actually I don’t know the rest and it is because I don’t know what y’all think that I have lied about.

You sound like a petulant three year old. " I don’t have to. You can’t make me".

Yes, you can call anything by any word you want. You could call an elephant a wallaby all day long. You’ll still look stupid if you do. Fitting in and making small adjustments to your style isn’t against the Ten Commandments, you know.

You clearly stated thatu began “taking care” of your mom when you were 4. What type of things did you do to take care of her? Did you cook for her, dispense her medication, make her doctor appointments, …? Because when you tell us you were “taking care of her” that means you were doing some type of.tasks for her. Please give us some idea what types of things you did at age four to help her

Look, Helly (I can call you Helly right, since I don’t have to call a thing what its actually, y’know, named) I don’t know what people are saying you lied about. But I know this is a thread not a chat. Would you tell someone “nice cat” if you were looking at their dog? And then tell them you can call it a cat if you want if they corrected you?

I assume your ^^^ means you were referring to me (when the quote function would be so much easier), but I never said you lied. I was calling you a fool, not a liar.

I say “chat” because that is what we are doing. We are chatting with each other.

P.S. And no, you may not call me “Helly” because that it most definitely not my name, but is that going to stop you from calling me that? I highly doubt it.

I dunno, will you stop calling it a chat since it clearly bothers multiple people on this board?

Tell ya what - I won’t call you Helly if you won’t call threads “chats”.
