I've considered all of those options. A roommate wouldn't cover more than one-quarter of my expenses. Moving -- I've been applying everywhere (most are in NY and CA) but its the same thing, I get no response. Training for a new career: I've spent lots of time reading the Indeed forums, and...

That's not desperate at all -- I've already looked into emigrating somewhere/anywhere else. Unfortunately I've learned that you can't just "up and move" to another country. Work permit restrictions will stop you every time. I spent several months researching how to get a job in Europe (my dream...

Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I last logged in here (a few years, in fact). Can't believe how bad things have gotten for me... I'm 46yo, I was a graphic designer for the past 17 years. Combining that with my early office admin/typist work I have 27 total years of work experience...

Hmmm...I'm fascinated by the fact that what you've described could be MY experience and opinion of my own hometown area, which is just north of Pittsburgh on the Ohio River. Growing up, if you weren't a football player or a skinny cheerleader you were a BIG FAT NOTHING. I will probably suffer...

I think part of the problem is that people who create fb pages for specific causes just assume people would never troll their site, so the site gets 1,000 "likes" by these antagonists and the owner of the site just can't be bothered to weed them out...seems like no page is safe, I have the Lord...

Thank you, Sci Fi!!! :-)

Well, gee, I'm sorry I annoyed you so much with posting this thread. I'll check with the mods and see if it can be deleted. I think my sense of humor is just fine...I just don't find anything funny about being told to "eat sh*t" or "f*** you" while trying to have an intelligent discussion...

Nope, its a permanent ban, anyone who "owns" a page can ban whoever they want. I was always vocal about their lack of troll control, maybe that helped them decide to get rid of me. And gawd I feel like such a pariah, when I went to the store I felt like everyone was looking at me and whispering...

My last job blocked Fakebook, Twitter, outside email, etc. I have to keep my computer on just in case I get contacted for a job -- yesterday I made the mistake of shutting it down at 3:00 and of course I received a call from a recruiter, he emailed me 4 documents that I had to open and print...

Yeah I know, I know...my bad. I pray I find a job soon, that'll cut down on my internet exposure (face it, that's the culprit, nobody says to your face what they do on the net!).

Yeah but just as I put this behind me I get confronted by it yet again when I'm not even looking for it...I was just perusing the PayPal section of the evilBay forum, and some jerk is using what is in my opinion an incredibly offensive signature --- and I'm like, seriously??? what the hell does...

I'd wager that neither Woodward nor Bernstein would even find work today...very sad. BBC is pretty decent, and although I'll probably be labeled a terrorist sympathizer, Al Jazeera sometimes looks better than anything on my cable lineup. Okay, I clicked on the red dot and all it says is that...

You'd be amazed at how much is not reported on CNN (I'm guessing its out of fear of being seen as "biased"). For instance, it was on that fb page that I learned about a certain politician's spouse who had a "pray away the gay" clinic. This was never reported on CNN -- I just did a search on...

Hee hee, cute video...I'm gonna do my best to avoid the red dot for at least a week, by then my wounded ego should be healed a bit. Yeah you're all right, but I'm the type that likes to stay informed, and if I just find another similar fb page, I'll be tempted to read the comments, which will...

Yeah but a friend who still has access to that page just pm'd me that the troll with his "eat sh*t" message is still there for all to see while all my posts have been deleted....go figure.

Having gotten nowhere with the "friend" thing, I've recently become rather attached to Fakebook for political causes, there's one particular site I really enjoyed having their informative posts on my wall, but a recurring problem would be the trolls who "like" that page just so they can rant on...

This "Relationships" category has one thread after another from lonely souls who cannot find someone. I merely started this thread as an observation that the solution might be as simple as changing their zip code. For me, finding someone is simply no longer a priority as I'm happy with my life...

Wow, way to make me feel good. All I said regarding my situation was that I don't live in the city, and you sum me up as a loser based on that? Again, you know nothing about what I've gone thru with online dating, which often involved me inviting the guy to meet, followed by the guy not...

I've spent a good ten years on just about every online dating site there is, with zero luck. These past few days I've spent a lot of my vacation watching HGTV about home renovation, finding homes/rentals, etc. And what struck me is that all the couples on these shows do NOT want to live in the...

God I am so sick and tired of being told to "get thicker skin"! I wish instead we could make people behave in a more civilized fashion. (Here is my feeble attempt to do that with my own forum, which ironically uses both these terms in the banner graphic. Mods, feel free to edit out if I'm...
