Yep, I also had the same 8 invites to tag someone today. They probably came from the same person.  I agree that it is rather irritating, but I just delete them.

guys,  you said you were sent a tag me thing 8 times?! i received the same thing, but question here, are you guys friends with her?! if yes, maybe there's nothing wrong with that, tag her why not?! and for common sense, you think she would click the numbers (8 at that) of sent for that tag me thing?! im sure, another tecnical problem again....

analyze first before making insulting statements guys, duh?! -BG

really, I am sure the person meant no harm. If it was an irritation to you, and it was the worst thing that happened to you in your whole life, then be thankful that you do not have anything more to complain about. Why not just delete the requests and move on? Why do "clog up" the forums because you are irritated? Now I am clogging up this space ... geez, all because of a request for a tag. Did this person realize that they would be responsible for tearing such a huge hole in the universe?

you can choose to be a healer, or you can choose to be contrary.

Well then vent!!!   About real issues and real problems. Vent about half the country being to poor to keep their homes, vent about the economy being so bad that the ederly stay home and suffer as they die because they could not afford to get medical help. If you want to vent then do so about something worth your time. This is petty lame BS and maybe you should reevaluate your life before you bitch about something this trivial. The world around us is falling apart!

I don't think anyone has the right to tell another person what they can and cannot vent about...did we forget about freedom of speech? With that being said, I TOTALLY agree with the post about the elderly suffering because of Medicare and their idiotic rules. We all know how crummy the treatment of the elderly is due to some white-collar people who sit in their nice, comfy offices and make decisions based on saving a dollar. Add to it the fact that SO many families don't visit or see to their elderly family members...it's sickening! There aren't enough CNA's being hired to properly care for patients. Those who try to do it all can't, no matter how hard they try and end up getting burned out (with good reason). Then there is the horrible things that I have seen as an EMT when I go into the homes of some of these "forgotten" people. It's heartbreaking! We get calls from family that haven't heard from them in awhile and are concerned, neighbors who haven't seen these people in awhile, and sometimes from people noticing a nasty smell coming from a house or apartment. I have been into homes that are freezing cold or blazing hot because they have to choose between paying for food, meds., taxes, etc. and can't afford heat/AC. Then there are the homes that smell SO bad because the people can no longer care for themselves and there are dirty, moldy dishes everywhere, urine and feces all over the place, and insects crawling all over everything. In the middle of that sits a frail old lady and her husband, both visibly dirty and full of pressure sores from sitting in their chairs for days in human excrement. Why you ask? Because Medicare/Medicaid doesn't see the need for them to be in a senior home! They don't want to spend the money on them! It literally makes me sick. When I go into a house like that I ALWAYS make a report to social services, no matter who I piss off (usually family, believe it or not) and follow up on it. It has gotten some of these people into better conditions, thankfully. There....that's my vent for the day :)  ~emtpixie

Amen. Vent away. So, the tags don't bug you. I bet there is something that gets undet your skin that may not bother others. If someone wants to vent, let 'em. I agree. Freedom. CDNURSE

OMG ... I just wish everyone would get along. Its been said a million times, it doens't matter what you do on this site as long as you do it correctly, honestly, and in a friendly and professional way. Some like the games, some like the tags, some like the silly "hi" cards and symbols each day. It has nothing to do with popularity.

I like to stop in from time to time and say hello to the few close pals I have. Lets remember too that this site is about nursing and there is lots of information to go around. A friendly hello or a cute little picture never killed anyone. In such a "serious" profession as nursing, its nice to let go once in a while.

Of course the person below me never posted their name. I agree with CDNURSE as well, if you want to vent, vent away. This is the United States of America and that a right that we have.............................at least for now anyway. lol

You got it. the friend collecting is childish. Nothing wrong with sending notes and cards but the competing for the most friends is downright childish.

What an amazing feat; being able to know what everybody's motives are.  Sounds like pure speculation to me.

Still it is nice to be tagged freely by friends, not that we obliged them to do it for us?! That is a little embarrassing, if not lacking the attention she needs or perhaps a poor self esteem?!

Sorry, If someone sent emails to tag me 8X's , I think that I'd tag them 'annoying'.

Now your one of us!

Ma'am/Sir, IT IS ME

Good day, im sorry about my tag request. It wasn't my intention to bulk up your inbox. My computer hng-up that time, I just sent the message once, but my computer send it thrice or more than.. or a lot of times,Iim  sorry. It wasn't my fault. I didn't mean to do that thing. Im really sorry. I didnt know that it was sent 8 times in your inbox or more, my classmates just told me that they recieved my messages "tagme" for 8 times. Then, after 3 days, when I gt a time to face my computer, then I check my activities, and there, I was shocked for what happened. I messd up all your inbox. I really didnt mean it. I am so sorry. I hope you all understand. thank you.

I would like to commend you on a really sincere apology. It really wasn't neccessary. Don't feel so Sorry. Most people mess up....it's a part of life. Don't worry about it. OK

Come on people...do we really need to make other people feel so lousy? Is that what life is all about? This is sad. As for the person who called us "catty bitches" I just have one thing to say....when you go pointing fingers at others you have 3 pointing back at yourself. Chew on that awhile. ~emtpixie

It's pretty pathetic when people are so judgemental.  We all get out of this board and any others you hit what you want.  If you dont want the immature stuff - pass it by.   Did you ever consider that some people might not have friends or families that support them?  Maybe the tag requests or friend requests help them or make them feel good about themselves.  Ever hear the saying dont judge anyone unless you walk a mile in thier shoes???  Honestly, it's a message board, no one is begging you to cut them apart due to your personal beliefs.  You want to post something post it, just dont tear anyone apart to make yourself look like the bigger or smarter person.
