You got to have friends.
Posted On 05/04/2021 15:33:13 by WritterDeb

Hello all of my fellow Hill Members.

I wanted to share a few thoughts I have to explain my
actions on whether to accept a friends request or not.

I have chosen the blog section as a bulletin would only be seen by my existing friends only and a blog allows you to reach out to all.

I have received quite a few new friends request from members
who have several different account here on The Hill.
Know, I love having friends,  and especially new friends which affords
me the opportunity to get to know more of my fellow
member here on The Hill.
After all, isn't that what a social site is all about?

But, you knew there was going to be one, LOL,
I was diagnosed a year ago with macular degeneration
which has made it difficult to see as well as I once could.
I have not been designing as much as I once did or making
graphics due to this new problem.
I have found I find it difficult to see all the beautiful graphics
and layouts
everyone has worked so hard to design and share.
I hate this fact so much, due to how much I love graphic design,
that I can no longer accept multiple friends request
from the same member.

I feel fortunate that there are so many wonderful
designers on The Hill that love graphic design
and layouts just as I always have,  but, when I can't make them out,
well, there lies the problem.

I want everyone to know I love having friends, the more the merrier, but with my eye condition I can only handle one friends account

per member.
Please do not think me unkind or have a problem with anyone because I do not accept
a second or third friendship from anyone, note that it is just my eyesight and I am very proud to have you as a friend, just one of you at a time however, LOL.
Thanks for allowing me to explain myself and my actions
and know I appreciate all of you
and if you wish to have a friendship with me I would love that
but let's just do one at a time and pray that there will be
some kind of cure for this in the near future.
I would love to get back into the game of design.

Always,
Always,

So sorry to hear of your problems with sight. My Aunt has the same problem.  I take her to a

specialist every few months to receive an injection in her eyes.  It has helped some.  Saying a

prayer for you. Sending hugs.

Your welcome WritterDeb! When a person comments on a blog the person that wrote the blog will get a comment alert. It's doesn't post to their page it goes to the blog. All they have to do is reply to that comment alert (blog) and it will show as a quote back to that person and show on their blog.

Thank you "yourchoice".  Never sure if I should use someone's name or not.  I know I'm good with a few words over a fancy graphic and that is what is so special about you.  You are so right about the written word, such a good way to get to know one another better and I have enjoyed getting to know you.  I am doing what the doctor ordered and "trying" to behave myself.

Deb, I'm so glad that you posted this in Blogs. I totally understand and agree with your views. I have been here on The Hill for a long time, and even though graphic design is a passion for some, I still much enjoy 'words'... a couple of sentences of greeting gives me more joy than a graphic of a cat with sparkling eyes!!!! (just an example). Words helps to get to know a cyber friend, and the developed friendships here on The Hill can be very special, even though we may never meet in person. You eyesight needs to be guarded as best you can... do take care.

Hi Deb - Just read your blog and I agree with you about having more than
one friend from the same person.  I do love looking at their different
layout that eveyone posts but I do take the time to post individual
comments to each, so it takes more time for me to do so and there are
times that I dont have alot of extra time.  I do read every comment that
comes to me and like you, appreciate each and every friend I have. 
Sorry you have maculare degeneration - I have a few friends with that
condition and I know it's hard to see.  Thanks for your post - be well
Deb!!

Thank you moondancer, you are so sweet.  I agree, everyone can be so nice and I love all comments, etc., just sometimes I can't send as many as others and some days it may have to be a hello instead of a graphic, but I think everyone understands.  We have a very nice "family" here on The Hill.

I totally agree on the 'friends' thing; I usually try to
accept 'original' members as friends on my main account & 'newer'
members on this one.   And I don't accept requests from people who
constantly 'come and go'.   But in general, I limit  friends for the
simple reason I just don't have time/energy, etc to visit so many; I try
to do 'bulletins' when possible.   I sent you a message about the
medical problem. My friend Audrey had that and received injections from
her eye specialist.  You can ask yours what they suggest.   Sending
positive thoughts and vibes to you. And hugs.  

Thank Altara.and I so agree with you also.  That come and go stuff drives me up the wall.  I believe in a second change but after that it's, "really?"  That is enough.  Oh well, everyone has something I guess.  Thank you, I got your message.  I hope everyone forgives if I hit a wrong button,.  Let me know if I am typing something unrecognizable, LOL.

Sorry to hear about your condition.
I know how much you love designing too. When it comes to friends with
multiple pages I usually just except friendship from one of their
profiles. For me personally I don't see the advantage of having more
than one profile except if a second one is being used to test new theme
ideas etc. Also another profile for say official business to this site
etc. It's enpugh for me to keep up with one profile let alone to try
multiple profiles.

Thanks so much nightfall.  I know you know as you know me, I'm a mess but trying to be ok with it all.  I can't say anything about having more than 1 page as I have a design page, as many designers do, but I do not send comments or add friends from that page.  As others have said, one is enough for me.  I will take all the sweet comments I can get but I'm asking no one get upset as I will only be returning one per person, not per page.  I hope I'm making sence, LOL.  Tomorrow is another day

cheekydeeARD is a hard state to accept.  My cousin suffers with it
and she just loves her work on the 'puter. But, sadly it has progressed
to the state where she cannot work on fine projects.  Nor can she read
without difficulty.  I share empathy with you.  I get a little put off
with the multiple accounts and cannot understand why it is done. 
Anyway, wish you the best in your progress. Hugs, Anne wrote:

I knew something was going on as things were getting blury and I was loosing color.  It has gotten worse but I can see still ok, not great, but ok.  Thank you Anne for the large letters, that helped.  Sometimes I highlight to see better. Either they are going to have to find a help or cure or I'm going to have to learn to type with brail.  I just can't stay away from all of my sweet friends.
