    Goodness no.  Most people I would say don't even notice me.

    I notice you. You stand out as one of a kind to me. ;)

    Oh thank you but you read my posts.  Were you to only see me doubtful you would take any notice.   Which is perhaps why I am so susceptible to those who do.

    Notice You?  You are one of the ones I LOOK for!  If I am on when you are on... or... even if we aren't on at the same time, I look for your answers and read them.  :) :)
    Silly!  You definitely go noticed.  :)  And your opinion, experiences, and insights are always fun and interesting to read :)
    I make a point of reading them and try to acknowledge you when I do.  Many people here, me included, jump on when they can.  If I go off into Merlin-land or don't see your answers or questions, it isn't because you aren't important or go blend in with the crowd,
    it's because of time.  If you could teach me to prioritize and time management, you would always go noticed. Many people don't think to hit the like button even if they read you.  At least, that is what I believe.  It's not that they don't notice you or don't have the time to hit the like button.  I don't think they think to do anything other than read. This is ALL good!  I'm sure many people notice you than you could possibly think.  Walking down the street.  Reading your entries.  So on and so forth.  I try to smile and take note of people as I cross their paths but 95 percent don't.  Please don't think you go unnoticed.  You ARE noticed more than you know.  We all are.
    Be kind to yourself. :) :)  You are a cool women with many cool paths. :) :) This post was edited by Merlin at June 25, 2018 5:09 PM MDT

    Most of the time no.. I am as fluffy and soft as a pussy cat - I am warm and welcoming... however people who cross me, and fortunately it is very rare that that happens, then yes they have cause to run away as I do have a very serious side too.

    I would explain that my answer relates to work, where I've had the most awful situation, in a job I otherwise love, since Christmas. It became worse and worse and I became unwell... Trying to get back to work, had a meeting regarding my wellbeing - they talked to me like a naughty student.. BAD move as now I have abandoned hope that they want to do the right thing and so instead of sitting feeling sorry for myself - I now feel ultra cold, clear and ready to do battle... So next meeting they will see a very different side to me than the one who always stays late, always covers, always cares and always volunteers to help....

    Absolutely Element.  I totally agree.  Adaydreambeliever is one who will always have her friends/family/animals back.  If you were stranded an AAA couldn't be reached, I do believe she would get out of bed and help her friend, etc.  
    A trait many "friends" do not have.  It is very reassuring, pure, honest, and loved by your people who are blessed to have her as one.

    I can totally see that in you!  Your personality SHINES through :) :)  And this a GOOD Thing! 
    Have a great day :) :)  
    P.S. You know me, ... ;)  Please give a pat and a hug to your physical kitty too.  (I can't seem to remember if you have one or two.. but... Pats all the way around!)  ;) :D!

    Always! Scooby snacks, too!  Big smiles!
    I do know that side of you.  You show loyalty and true confidence, standing tall and protecting your loved ones and friends. 
    As strong as it is to help, you will fight to keep honor and justice as you see fit.
    Again, a trait many long to have but cannot muster within.  It is true and wonderful in you.  I am grateful and thankful for it time after time.  As you may or may not recall, Once, long ago when I was new here,  I wrote a comment under one of Rosie's questions that was terribly misunderstood.  My wordage was poor and unclear. 
    Back then I was nervous and trying to fit in.  I meant no harm nor foul to anyone.  Since that time, Rosie and I are not only friends on answermug but also real-life neighbors.  We have talked off the general screen at times and found many similarities . :)  You and I also have become wonderful friends through answermug and value each others' thoughts and insights. :) :)  
    I appreciate that side of you.  Consistency and truly believing in not only daydreams but friends is a quality of yours that makes you all the more beautiful. This post was edited by Merlin at June 25, 2018 5:10 PM MDT

    No, they don't flee, they just act as if I don't even exist. The only people who treat me like I'm real are the ones who want to  put me in jail.

    There are so many possible titles to this little poem, I couldn't hang My Hat on just one. 
    Your perception will make your decision
    to the title that won!! :) :)
     
    They do not flee
    Normally, "Flabbergasted".... is the expression you see.
    How could this be???

    Some just stare in awe
    Some pretend like they never saw
    Some break down and cry
    Some high-tail it and try to fly
    Sometimes they think I might have a cure
    and others, really, are not quite sure

    The cool thing is.....   you can decide
    How would a funny, dancing-hat, look,
    walking with you, stride by stride?

    It's all in the Hat

    Flee?  Oh Zack, this would never be!!
    We would go swishing and swashing
    lolly-gagging, and laughing!!
    Twirling round and round
    our feet hardly ever touching the ground!

    For all of those who would not dare
    to join in our dancing which we would share

    I feel that they would be missing out
    and must spend most of their time
    dwelling in a room full of self-doubt!

    CHEERS my friend ZACK!
    I honor you with your VERY OWN,
    Merlin Hat!

  • No, thankfully I have a friendly countenance, and those who already know me know what to expect by now. Their fleeing days are over. :)

  • Yes, as a matter of fact they do. They also flight at the see of me.
