No doubt some will rejoice lol

My frustration with last read pointers on AM has peaked to the point I am unlikely to be following much here until it is addressed. It is something I was assured would be addressed by the programmers not long after after the updated software was implemented and I have inquired a couple times since with no response.

Tired of seeing multiple new posts and being taken to the most recent one and having to figure out where I left off....Not really a problem in the other forums but its a constant issue in this one.....

As a parting shot across the bow I will say Kavanaugh's accuser is being reported to have posted on her social media back in March of 17 that someone should accuse Neil Gorsuch of rape to derail his nomination and further stated that such accusations should continue until Trump nominated Garland. Of course she has since scrubbed her social media....the "inquisition" should be interesting if nothing else lol

Do not understand "unused ratings"

I do not understand this system.

Simply put....Its not a rating but rather a flag that is set so that you can use it should a transaction be completed

1. If you respond to an ad you are given the ability to rate the person whose ad you responded to. If you dont end up buying or selling to them then delete it. If you do then use it.

2. If someone responds to your ad you are given the ability to rate them assuming the transaction is completed. If it doesnt pan out then delete it. If it does then use it.

You are not supposed to use the rating if no transaction is completed. Just delete it.

Unused ratings shown on your profile dont apply to you....When you use them they apply to the person you had a transaction with.

If no transaction was completed then you should delete them. The only ratings that apply to your account have to be completed by the person on the other end of the transaction. You will run across some people who dont bother to rate you which can be frustrating but it happens.

American Bar Asso Steps In: Halt Vote/Bring IN FBI !!!

Posted By Greg Shaffer

I don’t know who’s house it happened at or even what year it happened. I don’t know if I got there before everyone else or after. I don’t know how I got there or how I got home over 8 miles away (at the age of 15).

My life time friend doesn’t remember any of this ( and the other 3 people I said were there testified under oath they don’t know anything about this).

I have a fear of flying , but have no problem jet-setting all over the world while on vacation. I’ve been on airplanes more in the past two months than most people in a year, but my fear is completely legit.

This all started during a house remodel. I really wanted double doors, my hubby said no. So I reminded him about my sexual assault. We go to a therapist, I remember 4 guys doing this to me is what I tell them. The therapist agreed and I got my double doors. It really raised our curb appeal! So much so that Google interns regularly hold parties and meetings at our home!

I don’t know who paid for my hotel and polygraph test( the afternoon of my grandmothers funeral, or maybe it was the next day, who knows). And guess what? I flew there. Oh and that polygraph, it was only two questions, neither of which were about Kavanaugh. But hey, I passed so that’s all that matters. And my PhD in psychology definitely, in no way, helped me with it or my testimony today.

My friends on the beach encouraged me to continue contacting the media with my story (because we were running out of time). I can’t name them, so we’ll just call them beach friends. Yet while giving such great advice, none were willing to be character witnesses. Meanwhile, Judge Kavanaugh had hundreds of character witnesses step up in a matter of days.

My lawyers, out of the kindness of their hearts, are helping me for FREE yet I have a “needed” gofundme page that currently is sitting at $473,622. I’m so desperately in need of help there’s even a second gofundme with $209,987. I promise though I’m not getting anything out of my testimony, that money is just going to cover my expenses.

I’m super smart. I have a PhD and I teach graduate students. I know lots of big words, but it should be totally believable that I don’t understand basic questions.

I was the only person in the United States that didn’t know Congress agreed to come to me instead of me going to DC. They really do care about my flying phobia after all.

Get the picture yet?
