And then didn't? He he.
I typed out something on "He Says" about three times today, but kept giving it to God.
I was going to ask for the male interpretation of what you-know-who said in a text message. But, I decided that finding out what everyone thought wouldn't change anything. So I gave it to God instead :)
Has anyone else ever done something like that? Started to post something (especially in he says/she says) but decided it was better not to?

How ironic is this - when I make the certain decision NOT to post my question - he texts me some more and any analysis goes out the window anyways, he he :)

Hmmm, this has never happened as to opening a thread, but it has happened a few times in wanting to post my response to a topic under discussion in a thread.
Before I open a thread I think about it a lot, so that I can post it "accurately" - using the correct words, etc. As a matter of fact, I want to open a thread right now, I've been pondering on it whole day. As soon as I've gotten it accurately thought out in my mind, I'll open it.

I think I almost posted something two or... no, definitely not. Nope, when I type it up, I never hit the cancel key. I may hold down the delete key and watch it slowly mostly disappear, but for completely wiping out something, I think I never have.
There's a special joy in posting something, only seeing it get two or three replies, and then fade off into the sunset of deletion.

I do it all the time - especially when I respond out of emotion instead through the Spirit (or just plain common sense).

I only do it when I'm answering a thread and I feel that my answer is getting too long and have lost my point. But creating a thread? Nah...once I have it in my head...it's as good as posted.

Why? I think God often speaks louder in the why then the post itself.

Good question, Joy. I need to spend more time in thought about the thread and the conversation in it so far. I also started to sense that my tone was becoming a little too "knowledge puffs up" in nature. Don't want that!
Does that make sense?

I think it makes sense I think...
I read your statement and thought hmmmm why do we sometimes not post then realized often when I do not post something I am thinking about posting it is usually because God has something else he wants to say to me.........
Did you mean you needed more time to think about how you wanted to answer the why in this thread? or are you referring to another thread?

LOL! No, not this thread--already knew that answer. I was referring to the "Lies" thread.

Maybe you should reconsider posting? LOL here or everywhere??????......
Sometimes I will go back and read a post I wrote a few month prior and I think........wow the people on cw must think I am really uneducated.........
I am usually posting while doing other things so my thoughts are not always on what my fingers are typing......leading to many, many typos and other errors........I am not as unintelligent as I appear on here or at least I don't think I am LOL
Speaking of post you almost don't post.......Someone I know types her post offline first so that she can do spell check and edit it...........she wants to make sure her post reflect her clearly........
I was wondering how many people stop posting a thought in order to take the time to write, rewrite, and edit it before posting?

Sometimes I feel it's just better not to post, sometimes I worry about how things will be taken, and sometimes I think "that's just stupid!"
