LOL…thanks for the link. I supposed I should also thank the people who peed all over it bc I missed your post somehow and only saw the responses.

It’s not about you. AT ALL.

So like I said…the adoption organizations and countries can indeed anything they want and deserve answers…

Which is why?

I would think the country/adoption organization would ask a similar question and that they do indeed deserve an answer.

I did distinguish my thoughts about the difference between online and IRL last night.

I got lunch today at a new restaurant, a fast casual place where the customer points to the ingredients she wants and the worker makes the plate as the customer watches. There was a sauce I was unfamiliar with so I asked the worker *who was helping me* what the sauce was made of and a different worker, who was helping someone else, turned to me and loudly answered as the worker who was helping me was answering. i wish I could duplicate the discouraged look on my worker’s face. There was no reason for his co-worker to jump in and talk over him.

At least she started her own thread, am I right? 😂 instead of seeing connections between other topics and daring to make associations 🤣

“If you want to discuss the nature of conversation or anything else this thread isn't about, go make your own thread.”

I’m missing the jokes, too, here. The purpose of the thread was to say what I think when someone answers for someone else, here on the board. I then added what I think when someone answers for someone else in real life IRL…it’s actually 2 different things.

I’ve been here nearly 3 years. I am who I am…pinball. Edited to fix this: oops, nearly 2 years! Can’t subtract!

No need to thank me for bringing the two of you together. im just a wonderful person like that

My second sentence IS me elaborating…

Just FYI, I won’t be PMing you…I tried that once and you ignored me! 😢

Yeah, I’m not following you bc I did NOT say no one else can answer…I said how I take it when I ask someone a question and a third party answers it. I think it’s odd. and when it happens in person, I think it’s rude. 🤷‍♀️

Just FYI, I was specifically told to start a new thread by a moderator

I would do it bc the x-ray was inconclusive. It’s a pretty standard thing to do.

The subject header is the first 2 words of my post… 🙄

Not where I’m from. It’s pretty rude if I ask person A a question and person B answers.

And where did I say no one else could respond?

Just FYI: when a “third party” answers a question that I directed to someone else, I think it’s odd to the point of suspicious. It makes me wonder why the third party needs to run interference for theperson for the person I directed the question to.

Id follow up with either another x-ray or CT. I wouldn’t be happy with a “vague” report about whether or not something showed up on a chest x-ray

Im confused here. What does her size and ethnicity have to do with this? if by little, you mean age…like a *young* girl, maybe she didn’t have the appropriate words to express what she meant.
