mood. sorry that some people come and say that you @rinsky are not respectful 
. That is one of the reasons why I really canât help but come here - that is the good atmosphere and all the encouraging posts always in a good tone - thank you and how good it is that it is being put down so quickly. Have a really good day/evening or whatever it is with you all.

Oh, absolutely. Iâve seen plenty of members get frustrated when their machines donât work the way they expect, and I always try to respond with patience and a softer tone. But this situation felt different because it was directed at me personally. It was important for me to express how it affected me, and I do feel a bit more relieved now that Iâve said it.
Thank you, appreciate you!

Thatâs very inconsiderate of them, if they saw all the effort you put into making this community more welcoming, vibrant and a lovely place to be they wouldnât be talking. You shouldnât have to explain but Iâm glad you did so that no one else can have misconceptions. You are a hard worker and I admire all the work you do on this forum

Yes, there is definitely a difference between someone being frustrated with a machine and then when it becomes personal.
Glad to hear that it helped you get it out. Itâs bedtime here at my place now but hope you have a good day.

I think youâre perfect just the way you are, Diane, but if you think you need work, Iâm here to support you. 
We canât change the negative people, or make them be nicer. The only one we can change â or work on â is ourself. Just as you said, my encouragement has motivated you to be that way, when we live that way in front of others, it will motivate them to be that way. If it doesnât, then all we can do is pray and ask that God will change their hearts. Jesus is my example, so, I follow in His ways in hopes that others will see and do the same. Thatâs why I said it meant a lot to me that it motivated you to be better. Thatâs also why I said if you want to see the world change, you gotta be the change. That was a lesson I had to learn, myself, and am still working to be the change I want to see. There are so many negative, mean people motivating others to be the same as them, I want to have the opposite effect. I prefer to make kindness cool, rather than flexing of being a bad ahh⌠
As @Dorthe mentioned, thatâs why I, too, like this community so much, as itâs always been so kind and welcoming to me, so I couldnât imagine anyone saying anything like that to @rinsky, as Iâve never seen her give any kind of negative attitude to anyone. I appreciate everyone here, and only want the best for all.
Thank you for the prayers for all, Erin! Youâre in mine, too, and Iâm happy you didnât let this negative person get you down. We all do appreciate you and know that you work very hard. Iâm truly grateful for the help youâve given to not only me, but others, whenever Iâve tagged you to help. Youâve always done a fantastic job.

Day #33:
Todayâs mood check in is exploratory. A lot of today was about learning, observing, and thinking things through rather than pushing full speed ahead. I shared a detailed post in Heat Presses about finding the sweet spot for time, temperature, and pressure, and it sparked exactly the kind of thoughtful conversation I was hoping for. Dialing in settings is never one size fits all, and exploring that process is a big part of growing confidence with any press.
There was no workout today, which was a conscious choice to slow things down and let the body rest. On the home front, dinner plans are comfort focused with meatloaf and mashed potatoes on the menu. I also attended a design review committee meeting for our neighborhood HOA to discuss a new home build, which definitely fit the exploratory theme by digging into details, plans, and possibilities. Overall, a steady, reflective day that still moved things forward in meaningful ways.

Hmmm todayâs mood - another mix bag Iâm afraid. Iâm prod of myself for getting a rather involved SVG finished and ready for testing, however, Iâm also disappointed in myself because that was a distraction for what I really need to be doing.

We all love you here @rinsky. Iâm sorry this happened, some people donât understand how their words that they type out have a huge impact on the person that itâs directed at. Rest assured we all know that you work hard and help people whenever you can. Lotâs of love and hugs.

Yes, I saw we even posted at the exact same time. There will definitely be some help, now, when people search for it. Iâm sure I probably missed some things that you were able to cover. I havenât had time to sit and watch your video, yet, but Iâd planned on it.
