People the msg is in Portuguse, but it�s basically saying that he has NO POINTS and he wants me and probably other Brazilian members to sent ws to his private email.

Hi Ju! I �ve received the same message and in fact I receive similar messages from time to time. My approach is, however, different. In Rodrigo �s case, as in all similar cases, and taking into account that he is a new member and has already uploaded some worksheets and powerpoints that are in today �s contributions, I simply download them and leave a note. Were Rodrigo a lazy new member, he would just ask without contributing. As for the other messages I reveive, I usually send what I am asked for - "MY" contributions only, never other members � contributions - by mail and say that I am looking forward to downloading their work in the near future. And it has worked for me so far.
Although I don �t agree with begging, I think it �s up to each member to judge the situation and decide if they want to give their work to a person or not. Personally, I can �t think of it in any other way.
Wish you a good day/night,
Hugs,

Hi, i did get messages like this a while ago and like Mena i did send my ws (except on one occasion when after looking at the member �s profile he/she happened to have -4 points!!)
I understand that some members regard these messages at rude and lazy but "the world is what we make it" and I don �t personally feel that rejection is productive. But that is my humble opinion and I respect yours as well.
have a nice evening... |

Hey Ju! (Now I have a Beatles song in my head...)
Could you modify your post and remove the email of the person? It should not be on a public forum.
Thanks |

Manon, I was wondering what to say in an assertive way, when your post appeared.
I figured it out. Thank you for that.
Ju, can you please, edit your post you remove from"us" down?
It would be thoughtful and gracious of you.
I don �t thing there is anything wrong with "lazy" people, though. They are just different from me, I guess. I have some clothes to iron and I �m posting, instead. Does it make me lazy?
Well, so be it .
I �m going to download the member �s worksheets, now.
Then, I �ll go outside, look at the river and sing:
Hey, Jude! Maybe Manon and I get tuned up...
or maybe..., just maybe...
When I find myself in times of trouble,
mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom
let it be...
(Manonsky, I�m a soprano, can you try the contralto?)

Nikadixon, I can get tuned up with you if...
When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
If I �d been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I �m sixty-four.
Man I love this group. One of my "bestest" friend saw Paul McCartney last summer for the 400th of Quebec city. I saw the show on tv but I wished I could have been there.

We often forget to ask to ourselves: "What would I do if I were in his/her "shoes". We are different but it �s not necessary to pinpoint somebody else �s defaults. If I answer, I use two words: Yes or No. That �s all! We all need help and we need it the moment we don �t think it would happen. Just on these days I received a huge help from one wondeful teacher of this site. You noticed I deleted my worksheets because of the clip arts I had used...well this friend of ours sent me some worksheets she had about the topic I needed. I don �t write her name because I didn �t ask her permission, I ask now: "May I write your name in this forum?". Thank you. |

Manonski, I was editing the other post, just to check out if you can do the contralto.
The problem here, Manon, is that I am already loosing my hair and still 7 to 64. And that isn �t the worsest, but can feel pretty bad.
Ok. I �ll stand by you, then.
mariannina, c�mon. I�ve got�a go sing with Manonsky...
WRITE IT! WRITE IT! WRITE IT! WRITE IT! (Prego!) |

Hey, Manonski! I �m sixty-two and what do you mean? do I have to lose my hair?
I �d prefer to lose kilos instead!
