Hi, thanks for the reply. The tutorial link above is the best place to start with getting used to wikipedia policies, everything else comes from experience. Incidentally I have family in Massachusetts too: my grandfather was from a place called Gardner. Is that anywhere near you? -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 17:40, 9 Feb 2005
Hi Francs200 - you know, I had to look Gardner up. Gardner is N.W. of here, above Worcester (pronounced "Wuster") and up by the state line. Wellesley is about 18 miles from the center of Boston. We've only been in Mass. for three years. My husband is with Wendy's Intl., so we're here until we get reassigned again. Jeri Jrossman 22:00, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Thanks...

...I think, for your support on the RfC on me. user: stude62 user talk:stude62 13:27, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Well I guess I should thank you, for thanking me ;-). Do I think that this guy is using you? Most certainly. You have some temper issues that you need to get under control. If you don’t, people will use it against you for the rest of your life. Try taking 10 minutes of meditation the next time you feel that you have to respond right away. Maybe you need one of those wiki-stress indicators. I think you need to recognize that this other person needs people like you in order to function. They feed off your energy. They live to "stir the pot". They like conflict. Without you drawing attention to them, they have to draw attention to themselves. You can't win with people like this, so why try? Adults with good self esteem levels don't need to impress the world with “who” they are, or “what” they have achieved or "how" much they know. People like him make it a point to point out how qualified they are because they want you to be impressed. So let him have this win – in five minutes he'll lost the rush that he gets by winning and he’ll go after his next target. He can't help himself. He needs the drama. He needs to control the information that he feels validates him as a person. Let him. Good luck, Jeri Jrossman 18:33, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)
