Usually when a user is banned their user title automatically changes to "banned." On very rare occasions CC Admin chooses to make the ban reason public in which case we manually change the user title to the reason for the ban.

Simply put, if the user title says "confirmed fraud" it means that we spent countless hours investigating suspicions and researching inconsistencies in a (or multiple) users claims about their situations and found that there was no other possible explanation for those inconsistencies other than the fact that they were not true.

It is unfortunate that some people use social media sites for the sole purpose of defrauding and misleading other people.

PS. In the future please direct these types of questions to one of the Admin directly via CC mail rather than making a public issue of them.

I apologize. I was simply asking a question, I wasn't trying to make a issue of anything. Sorry if I made you mad.

How do you guys deal with your siblings when they are bothering you? My sister is always trying to do stuff to in a way to rival stuff I do. This one sided half-rivalry has been going on for years. Talking to her about never seems to work, and neither does ignoring her. Also, how do you guys deal with guests staying with you that rub you the wrong way?

And yes, before anyone brings it up I realize this isn't the family section of the forum. I posted this here because I thought I'd get genuine insight here, being that the title of this thread is Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts, and because I didn't want some generic family answer, not that I don't value any reasonable conjecture.

Not always, but she does it often enough for it to be noticeable.

12 Toxic Behaviors that Push People Away From You

Something fascinating that I thought a lot of us in CC could learn from.

I can vouch for some of those, stuff like that takes time. Trying too fix those issues too soon could make things worse. So it can be a good thing to start off slow. It's also important to know that you shouldn't push anyone away who is trying to change those behaviors, because doing that only confirms to that person that the toxic feelings they harbored are right, plus it shows that you're toxic in a way too. I'm not saying don't give them space, I'm saying just don't drop them just because you get mad at them. Life is different for every person, try asking them why they feel the way they do sometimes instead of trying to force feed them optimism.

Hmm... someone's autocorrect is working overtime or someone's keyboard is malfunctioning. (Always blame it on bad technology penknight.) ;)

And I have no idea how to deal with bad houseguests. But if you find a way, please share it. So far the best way I've found involves proper use of a baseball bat and a flamethrower.

Baseball bat and flamethrower you say? Hmmm...I may have to try that.

Just kidding (I think.)

I'm sure u didn't make him mad. He's just saying that it was kind of a private matter that should be handled in PMs instead of in a forum post.

My insurance nonsense has been worked out, and I can now see my diabetic guru doctor again as of February 1st! After going around and around with people on the phone, I decided to just go down to the insurance office and talk to a supervisor. She fixed everything! I get a new card, and I have a print out with her name and ID number if anyone questions me about being switched over.



Yay!!

Hot cheese popcorn... Burns your mouth, if it goes down the wrong pipe then you're in for a nice burning throat while coughing up (it's happened), but... Why must I like it?!

Can u play roundabout? I can play it on the drums. Not exactly like Bill Bruford or course, but I can get by and of course I love odd time signatures! :)

One of my favorite odd time signature songs is Jacob's ladder (Rush - Permanent Waves). :)

Esta es la video..

It starts out in 4/4, but it gets odd towards the end.
