When I receive email it gives me the:
To cancel further notifications like this, please go to:
My ? is, if I use this option, will it cancel just 'that thread to which I take this action' or 'all threads I am following'?
The 'like this' part of the sentence structure makes me feel I might cancel all threads I'm following.

Not sure but think it means the site will no longer notify you of any threads you may be on. Love Phillipa

You're working overtime Phillipa.
It feels like you're my only friend here this eve .. but since it's you, that's 'a lot'!
Maybe it would do that, so won't click it.

Well just to mess it all up for you...when I have used it it just cancelled the thread its attached to. The wording is a little ambiguous.
Its a useful function though, I like it very much, specially when a thread is getting too much for me to handle and I trying to stay away from it.
I also have heard that sometimes when the server gets overtaxed that sometimes notices of posts are delayed or don't come at all. Its been a prob off and on in the not so distant past anyways.

Maybe the wording should be changed DB?
Can't see it now, but maybe should say 'this thread' v 'like this'? (I can't see it right now or remember exact ambiguous wording.)

Ohhh ... I know that now kk! I didn't understand.
Now I think it's because we're prob' on two different levels of thought. (I'm bumbling around trying to say we don't know one another till we've walked in their shoes.)
Communication is difficult w/ all 'you', and I know 'I', do or don't have going on in our lives.
I'm, to be very honest, desperately lonely, yet frozen like a deer in headlights. And get a load of this. I don't think most men are good enough for me! Yeah. I know! It sounds like I think I'm a freakin' goddess. But still that thought is here and keeps me from letting anyone in.
And maybe I feel some 'jealousy', hearing from a woman who has a man w/ them, standing beside them as best they can through thick and thin.
The ones I've had began to head for the door if I showed signs of imperfection. They looked good on the outside but on the inside they were looking for another mother. So that doesn't say much for them. And yet I mourn them? That's something I'm beginning 2 realize is ridiculous! I didn't lose much.
And me, well, I'm may think highly of myself in some areas, but as far as maturity, I'm a bit naive and emotionally somewhat childish at times, I guess. For example, often I find myself wondering 'why am I alone'??? So, fair is fair. It would need to be a strong man w/ a pretty empty plate to stay with me also.
Things in my life went further south (nearly at the speed of light) when my father passed away 3yrs ago. He must have filled the 'I am lovable' void.
What it comes down to is I don't like being alone. I'm struggling to come to grips w/ this or change my life somehow.
sincerely, 5f
