Blog EntryPlease... No generic or random invites Apr 8, '08 9:06 AM
for everyone
I don't want to sound mean or like a jerk. However, If your going to invite me to be on your friends list PLEASE do me the favor of explaining WHY.  I already have a number of varied friends.  I have personal reasons (that are extremely important for my safety)as to why I will not accept an invite  from people that I just simply do not know.  In the past 3 Days I have gotten several  plain invites.  I don't know how to make it any clearer.  I love making new friends.  However. I don't want to be a number on someones page.  I also want to make sure that the people that I am friends with i at least have something in common with.

I am not looking to be anyones Girlfriend(I am quiet happily married).

Anyhow Please do me the curtousy of explaining WHY you would like to be my contact. 

Thank you Mistical

I don't understand the random or plain invite myself. I have never accepted one... though I do, if there's at least an avatar, go check them out. Basically if they're not connected to someone I know, I decline. Safety IS a number one priority here. :-)

actually, i feel you on this... maybe i should post something similar, yanno? i have people on my page that i'm like... "who the ^&*$ is that?" and they've been there for a while...
scarlettoh wrote on Apr 8
oh what the heck, I've only gotten one invite that I can think of... LOL
I usually do the asking, and I try to spice it up a bit... let them know why I want to be their contact

after all... there should be a proper introduction to these things
remember way back in the day when you wouldn't even speak to someone unless you'd been "properly introduced"?
mysticalmistress wrote on Apr 8
that is exactly how I feel You should introduce yourself..
vligerdragon wrote on Apr 8
I think we should at least have had some conversation or SOMETHING before I will accept an invite. and even then I might not. I am picky.
soldier85 wrote on Apr 8
If I invite someone, I'm going to make the invite worth reading

High Five, Dragon! Me too!
vligerdragon wrote on Apr 8
woohoo!!

*high fives balavan*
balavan wrote on Apr 8
One thing about it though,, when we do get invites, even if we don't know who they are, we can go snoop around on their page and have a look at what's over there. Sometimes you can get an inkling of what the person is like that way.
vligerdragon wrote on Apr 8
I will generally do that, just to see.
thecaddy wrote on Apr 8
balavan...you voyeur...LOL
balavan wrote on Apr 8

soldier85 wrote on Apr 8
I like it when peopel write *Snickers* down, it looks good, and makes me smile
mysticalmistress wrote on Apr 8
I think of the candy bar with 'snickers"
balavan wrote on Apr 8, edited on Apr 8
I got one invite right after I joined Multiply from some guy. I went over and snooped on his page, cause to be honest I only knew a couple of people. So anyway I snooped on this guy's page and from what I could tell, he was into s&m and b&d and I thought, 'Bubba go mess with your own granny. I'll pass, thank ye kindly.' So I declined. And no I ain't a prude, but Maddie sit's on my lap sometimes when I'm writing in guest books or just reading things on my friends pages and that was one page I was going to make sure she didn't see.
soldier85 wrote on Apr 8
I didn't know you got them over there, Misty! Shows what i know
vligerdragon wrote on Apr 8
*snickers* I does not like Snickers the candy bar.
balavan wrote on Apr 8
Snickers and anything else in a wrapper is good for you. Especially after you sit at the computer from between 7 a.m. and 2 a.m. It gives you that sugar rush burst that you need to get through the day.
balavan wrote on Apr 8
What do like Dragon?
thecaddy wrote on Apr 8
HURRAH SUGAR...grabs box of rock candy...crunch
enchantedone wrote on Apr 8
uh oh... not the rock candy!
*ducks*
balavan wrote on Apr 8
Snickers, Mounds Bars, Tootsie Rolls, Ding Dongs, Twinkies and Chese Popcorn. and coffee. The Seven Basic Food Groups.
thecaddy wrote on Apr 8

Aw that's nice.. I don't get hardly any invites. wahhhhh I wonder if I come off as a bit too mysterious. I like anything mystical, when I try to remember who invited who. I am at a complete loss, you just seem to be an old friend I have gotten to know like a neighbor in my community.

I understand completely about being a number I deleted quite a few that I didn't have anything in common with or that I never seen around, for me having a history of some sort is very important.. like my friend food dude though he is never around, he reached out in his time of pain from losing his pet. I just adore people that I get to know somehow.

About me, I am now officially 36 and 2 days hehehe, 4 kids, a freethinker and I like to look for all the wonderful things in life. I am American living in Egypt for the past 11 years and Multiply is the place where I have all my friends. I am bit of a loner, but once you have won me over I am always loyal.

I hope that gives you some information about me. :D Where's the teeth on these smiley faces??? hahaha

Well now that I am your contact misty I can comment on random invites! lol It was refreshing to get an invite from you....someone I've already talked to at length! I don't understand people that haven't even had any kind of conversation with you. I thinks they likes my puppers picture.
mysticalmistress wrote on Apr 8
you shoulda been able to comment on this one before cause this one was set up for public view the others are almost always set up for contacts or network only.. I have a huge issue with privacy for certain reasons
cannmcd wrote on Apr 8
Oh and here are some M&Ms

cannmcd wrote on Apr 8
I understand. I have all the photos of myself, my daughter and other family members set to "contacts only"
