Thanks AKJ,
Sorry that the above stuff happened to you as you were only trying to do something nice for me.
It is a shame, since 1) I only ever asked for pictures out the front door/windows of members' homes (or of their pets or so on), which would be legal for them to post, and 2) members who would kindly choose to support me in this way, by sharing their own legal pictures with me ("original posted material"), would have to be willing to give up ownership of their own personal pictures to the site, unless they of course had previously copyrighted them (like I did).
Actually, in all honesty it does not really matter anymore. I am too depressed to care. There are good people here, just less ways now of communicating with and supporting them. The strong sense of community I once felt just seems to be being chipped away at as of late for me in many respects and it is disheartening to me.
Sending free images spoke volumes when the right words were so very hard to find. Or not able to be found at all after surgery, and this site/its members helped me to recover lost skills faster and more efficiently than working in person with a communication pathologist. It was something helpful, hopeful and playful when battling so hard in a very dismal place.
Now no one has anything to share with me and I am not capable/able to post in written form as often as most. So I gather that this valued/treasured thread will be closed too.
Sorry if I do not sound like myself - I guess I feel deflated and have little strength left. Thanks to all of you who chose to support me!
Hugs :hug: to you, AKJ
