Ask Joe Column #8

Hello fellow members, I am starting something new called the, "Ask Joe Column" you can ask me any questions pertaining to myself, to you, advice seeking, love, friendship, etc. Ask me about almost anything at all, as long as it applies to the rules and regulations of the site

Hey Stallion ;)

Thanks so much for your advice in thread number 7. It meant a lot to me and I think I can now say we're on speaking terms again and she's apologized and she's told me she's going to watch herself now and try to just be a better friend.

So thanks :)

Michael: I suggest reading some articles on the site, there are many that are very helpful and will help in the process of writting. I'm sure by reading something, it will triger something with that might make it easier to write a poem.

Here is the link to the article page of the site:

http://www.poems-and-quotes.com/poetry_articles.html

You know that's been asked before, but we mostly discuss serious topics that concern the site.

Miss Take: Yes, I along with the rest of the Mods have been aware of this. For the time being (since we can't fix it till Janis gets back) the person who is trying to create an account can get in contact with one of the Moderators and we will activate the account for you.

But like you said, it does create a problem for those that don't know anyone on here and are just registering.

The problem is being looked at and hopeful will be fixed soon.

Miss Take: That is correct, can't PM untill you are a member, that is why we have the, "Contact us" at the bottom of the site, however, that email gets sent to Janis and or Dainz which isn't a help.

The people registering can also get in contact with the mods via email, a majority of us have P&Q emails.

Anyone can reach me via email with this account:

Joe@poems-and-quotes.com

Ahaha joe, did yah missssss me.

Miss Take: At the current moment, these emails are not listed anywhere on the site. Hopefully when Janis comes back we will be able to implement them via the "Contact us" page, or directly in our profiles with links that will send an email when submited.

Killusall: mmm, yes, no, maybe so...haha!!!

Bbetter question, does anyone even remember me. hahaha i havnt been on here in yeaaaars.

Miss Take: I don't know how good a sticky would be for this issue. There should be a messege upon registering that there is a problem, but that is impossible since we don't have any coding rights. I suppose a sticky might be better than nothing however.

Killusall: How would I know if anyone remembers you? I know I remember you, but hey that doesn't say a whole lot because I remember a lot of people on this site, it's basically my job to remember...lol

Joe: what should i do? i feel like i am becoming lost in the world. i have lost most of my friends. and they have moved onto the better life, with out me. i feel like im losing everyone and everything good going for me... HELP!

Kylie: First and utmost, I have to ask myself, why are your friends walking away from you? Why are you loosing everything and everyone that was good around you? I come to think it is either you or the people you hang out with, but that's besides the point...

Remember you are still young, friends will come and go.

"The Mile: People come into our lives and walk with us a mile, and then because of circumstance they only stay a while. They serve a need within the days that move so quickly by, and then are gone beyond our reach, we often wonder why. God only knows the reason that we meet and share a smile, why people come into our lives and walk with us a mile."

Anyways, stand up for what you believe in, fight for it, don't sit and ponder or sulk, just don't, it makes matters worse. Stand up tall, and tell yourself, I can do this, I can handle it, I am strong, and no one can push me down, because when I get knocked down I get up again...And when I get up again, I am strong and more knowledgeable than before so don't get in my way this time...

Keep a positive mind, and positive things will come from it, keep a negative mind set, and well negative things will produce from it...It's like the old saying, "you hang around a dog, you'll become one" Well you hang around negative thoughts, negative things will happen, and if you hang around positive thoughts, positive things will happen...

Stand up, think strongly about stuff, and be positive in every way, shape or form, and you'll be happy, and nothing can get in your way.

Note that this is all just my opinion, you can agree with me or totally disagree with me. But remember this is just my opinion and nothing more, I don't know the whole story behind your life and what has happened therefore as Scientists like to say, this is nothing more than my "educated guess"

Joe, why can't they change the site so if you edit a post, it goes back to the thread, like normal posts. When you edit now, the just sits there.

It's one of them little annoying things haha :)

XToBeWithYoux: We very well can change it so that it does that, but like most other things on this site we need the coding ability which at the moment we don't have, only Janis the owner has that ability. So it's a waiting game...

Thanks,
your an amazing person, and you help a lot of people. if i could, i would make you pres. hahah your that cool :D

The Prophet: It is because there are actually three different sites:

poems-and-quotes.com
best-love-poems.com
friendship-poems.com

when you first log in, watch the bottom left of your screen, and you will see it log-in to all three of them. (if you click something too fast, yo may just get onto one or two of them)

Even if you do get on all three at first, if you are in the forums for a long time, or in all categories but love and friendship, then chances are when you go to one, you will be logged off.

All I have to do, is log back in and hit my browsers back button and I'm right back where I was--only logged in.

What Should I Do?

I am in a long distance relationship and every weekend I go to see my boyfriend, when it's just me and him he is the nicest, sweetest guy ever. But when I go back home he starts to become controling, even when I stay the night with my aunt.

Twisted Mind Broken Soul: Talk to him, let him know how you feel about what he is doing. Let it be known that you don't like to be controled. Maybe your realationship needs to be put on hold for a while, who knows?

Yeah your right, I have talked to him about it but it doesn't seem to stay in his head, it seems like it goes in one ear and out the other. Thank you very much and I appreciate you answering that for me. I do believe it needs to go on hold for awhile.

Joe,

Was I the only one experiencing trouble trying to get P&Q to come up yesterday? I tried doing it on my computer and my phone, but it kept giving me errors on both. It wouldn't let me on the page earlier today but after I tried for a while I eventually was able to get on.

CHYNAdoll: No, you were not the only one, the server was down the other day.

Ah, okay thanks. Just making sure I wasn't going crazy or anything. ;)

Why do people classify people in band "geeks"?

Why is it so weird to have imaginary friends after a young age?

Do you believe someone almost 14 should be able to use the phone after 10 PM on weekends?

Why are people always wanting more?

haha..
thanks Joe

Dark Nights Terror: You know, I'm not really sure why people in bands are usually considered geeks. I find it strange for people to sterotype others by what they do, people in bands tend to be very talented individuals.

haha, ahh you know it goes with the whole psychotic/psycho thing in what many study "psychology" Want a classic movie about imaginary friends, watch "Harvey" it's old, but a classic!

Depends on how long the person wants to stay on the phone. Personally at 14, I think it is a little late to be on the phone that late at night. But then again that is just my opinion.

People are greedy, all they ever want is more, satisfaction to an individual is hard to achieve since nothing is ever good enough, they always want bigger and better, the more money the better RIGHT? WRONG, money can't buy satisfaction, well it can, but not in the right ways....

Left Behind: Well it all depends, if the person whom is asking for advice wants honest advice then it is hard to give you a straight answer, depending on the type of question...it can go either way. Honesty might make some mad since it isn't what they always want to hear, however it may be the wise thing to do. Although it's not what the person wants to hear, it is most likely in most cases better for the person to hear the truth of the matter and your advice on the subject at hand.

My question is really just to satisfy my curiosity. At one point when i first joined this site, i had a tendency tot talk to you quite a bit. Back then you were not a moderator i think. You probably do not recall, but i just figured i would ask.

Jonathan: If I recall correctly your username used to be Jon? But I may be mistaken, there are a lot of Jons on this site. I think I remember you, we used to talk via the chat that we used to have on the site.

And yes I wasn't always a Moderator, I became a Moderator around 2006 so for about 6 months or so in 2005 I wasn't a Mod.

Yes, i changed it to my full name when i finally figured out the password. Yeah, that chat wa pretty nifty. Actually, the other day i happened to plug in my old computer and in the saved information it had your myspace. At first i was confused but once i read the name i remembered whom you were. Thanks for answering, and ihope you are still doing well. cheers

I don't really have a question. I just wanted to say hi!!!

Left Behind: Well depends on the website inwhich has the content of your poetry. Many sites you contact will remove your poems or delete that users account. Others however such as blogspot (which is owned by google) and other places, make you file for plagerisim via a signed letter through the mail (not email)

If you are still having problems with this, you can PM anyone of the Moderators on this site and we will assist you as much as possible.

ShelbyLynne: Hello!

I'm bored. Any ways to treat boredom, Joeman?

Fluffy: Write a poem! Hell that's what this site is all about isn't it? Watch a movie, go for a walk, listen to music, play a game, get creative and do something....

Left Behind: If I remember correctly myspace has the same policy that google has, you have to file for plagerisim/copyright infrigement via the mail. Best bet with myspace is to contact the user that has plagerised your poem and that's all you can really do unless you want to file copyright infrigement via the mail.

Joe.. why'd my cat attack my hand for absolutely no reason?

Joe; why is it that your mom is sapposed to protect you from the people that call you names, and she IS one of the poeple that does it.... it hurts

Cayce: Perhaps your cat was hungry? lol I don't know. Maybe she/he wan't to play? who knows? Only the cat really knows why I suppose.

Kylie: She is family, and well families tend to fight...OR they tend to joke around a lot, depends on the way she is saying whatever it is...but then again, I'm not really sure why.

Joe: i have two questions for you.

can you please read some of my poems and tell me what i can do to make my poetry better?

and my boyfriend has a job, and he goes to work almost as soon as i get home. Then he doesnt get off until about 1 or 2 in the morning. while he is at work he may call me a couple times to tell me that he loves me. but i feel as if this job is putting a strain on our relationship. he is off on the weekends and i have noticed that we argue a little more than usual. is there anything in your opinion that i can do to fix this before it completely tears us apart?

Thanks joe,
Shayla

Shayla Loves Harley: For your first question, this is not the time or place to ask that. There is a request forum just for that. As for making your poetry better, read poetry from Cummings, Poe, Dickinson, Frost, etc. the more you read, the more intune you'll become to what 'well' written poetry is. Do research on styles/forms, learn termanology such as assonance, alliteration, personification, etc. All these will make you become a better poet.

Now as far as your relationship, I am not one to judge based on the limited story you gave me, however - it seems to me you are hidding your feelings from him. Sit down and have a 'adult' like convo explaining how you feel about him working late hours and how you think it is breaking your realationship apart. There is no better in a realationship to fix issues such as this, than talking to the person face to face.
