I am not quite sure where this lands in the TOS. It is one of the more interesting posts I have seen here! Crick?

interesting....but honest.
i don't think it is an emom thing....i think it is human nature to like pretty things. there are studies even with children that show children prefer good looking people. there was a study done where children were exposed to 2 teachers- an uglier teacher who was a great teacher, and a prettier teacher who was not so great. overwhelmingly they said the pretty teacher was a better teacher. i don't think people like to be reminded that human beings like attractive things. but i do think it is ugly truth. (<--this from a family who was NOT being chosen. i get it. i'm overweight and i have a large family. there are many many waiting families in a much more ideal situation. i think that is reality.)
i think the main reason ap's won't like this post is bc it makes ap's sound whiny. but come on! so many are! i'm whiny. just 2 weeks ago i literally called my worker and said, "i am calling to be whiny. i know there is nothing you can do, but i am freaking out and i need you to listen." she did...she was so patient with me. i'm sure she complained about me later. but i figured with the rate i pay an agency to assist me, i can call *sometimes* and whine. not everyday, but occasionally. lol. in the end, my whining actually did help me because when my worker got what i was whining about she went out of her way to get it to me FAST. thank you!
anyways....all that to say...i know it will be a cat fight. but i kind of like that post.
I just picked up 8 posts (all duplicates) from one person and about 8 more from different people complaining about this thread.
Personally, while I think she is being very harsh, especially for a first time poster, I think she did point out some things that people need to know.
I have a feeling the reporters were very frustrated and the screen was responding slowly as it has been.
