It won't be long before I can't cut the mustard anymore.![]()
Now, there is something that makes me so sad.
Old people where treasured as the wise ones. Granddad and Grandma they new al the tricks in live.
Grey hair was the equivalent of wisdom (Gandalf ect ). I was brought up by my grandmother ( because of family circumstances)
and what a good start in live she gave me.
I suppose, time changes everything to fast now for our lovely gray haired friends. My God, it does for me !But does it ? Perhaps we better take time ( nobody does any more ) to listen a bit to what real facts of live the old can tell us ?
Every thing changes and nothing changes if you really think about it.
Well I am glad I am not the only one who thinks it bad form and Laith hit the nail on the head when he mentioned EGO and in my mind that what it is all about. If someone is that self important or on the other hand has such a high need for recognition then they need help.
If it is that bad go on YouTube and broadcast yourself as the greatest or some poor deserving individual then they will get more hits than they will from me.
Reputation to me is all about knowing who you can rely on - what they say and advise, it has nothing to do with glorification and asking for or hinting at giving it frankly is a form of self gratification
Sad it has come to this because although there have been a few that engage in this sort of behavior in the past in general helping out others ahs been all about a humanistic approach and not for self indulgence.
This surely has been asked before, but I don't have time to read through 65 pages.
I currently have the seven pro, supporter and BSOD Team badge.
I expect soon to also get the gold member badge, if my current posting keeps going this way. Will one of my current badges be replaced with the gold member badge from my profile or will my badges be untouched?
You let me know which one you want to lose and I sort it![]()
Hey Axe mate there seems to be a load of stuff going on about rep and all that jazz and to me it is not how well decorated you are more how good you are at helping out others less fortunate than your/ourselves.
Personally it does not matter a jot how many badges or banners etc one has more that I know I can ask those better at this than me to help me out too.
There is an old saying "All comes to he who waits" and from what I have seen from your posts you certainly seem to me to know what you are on about and I would not worry about badges because as I said they will come soon enough - I think it more important you keep up the good stuff and like I said good things will follow.
If you want something to add to your siggy as you have stated why not a really well chosen quote or something humorous??
