For your own wellbeing, please try not to really get upset over posts and things. I have and it gets to be really frustrating. I've warned younger "kids" about getting gliders at my age and younger- they dont listen, then after its too late they find out why I said what I did. I try to explain how age does have to do with owning a glider, because age brings privileges such as driving, and even jobs. Those have very much to do with gliders and emergency situations, which according to some people, "will never happen to my glider". Its gotten me so angry sometimes I almost literally blow up, but I took a break, and I got new pets. Im here for glider questions when Im asked or feel like helping out, but I dont get near as upset with people not listening, and suffering later as I did before. I feel a lot better too, I dont get so into things, to the point where I let it bother me..I try to help out and then the person is on their own. They choose to ignore what I said- TS for them because when I say something its for a reason. I feel bad for the glider that is stuck with that particular person, but what more can you do? Ya know?
Even if this wasnt a prank, try not to let it get to you too much. I know its hard, but look at your own health and wellbeing too..dont overstress yourself with something you cannot control. You, as a person, are important and shouldnt be stressed with situations beyond your control.
