the Lantus Insulin Support Group has grown into a very large group and in order to not have it disintegrate into chaos there needs to be order.
you have to help us so that we can help you.

please keep all your questions in a single daily thread.
one thread per day per kitty, please!​

first topic~ Post Titles
  • correct: month/day Cat's Name AMPS ###
    put the BG number in your post title, not just cat's name, not a color instead of actual number, not your feelings about number instead of actual number.

  • if you are posting long after AMPS, do not put AMPS number in post title and most recent number in body of post. do not like seeing AMPS 250 when scrolling down post titles looking to see which condos need attention first and not knowing that in post body it says "AMPS was 250, but now cat is at +1~50"! post title should read for example: "1/16 FatCat AMPS 250, +1~50!", that is a post that will be quickly opened. post title are suppose to reflect where cat is NOW.
  • once you get to PMPS, drop the AM numbers from your new post titles.
    wrong: 1/16 FatCat AMPS 250, +3~150, +6~100, +8~100, +10~150, PMPS 180, +3~110, +5~98 etc.
    post titles that are too long are messy and annoying.


second topic~ Body of Post

  • do not forget whole cat report. your cat is more than just a BG number, just like feline diabetes is more than just the numbers. whole cat, is as important as dose on what numbers are looking like. let us know your cat, for example when lisa posted muffin isn't eating much, we know immediately that muffin is really sick because from her posts we know that muffin is one good eater. if sandy posted that BK was just laying around all day not moving much, well from her posts about his crazy energy and well things like this: http://felinediabetes.com/gallery2/v/Sandy+and+Black+Kitty/TP+Terror+-+reduced.JPG.html we would know something is wrong with him.

  • posts focus should be about the cat, not the bean. there is the FDMB Community forum for all O/T subject matter. we have vast knowledge of carmelita, what she eats, her energy levels, her coat, her sensitivity to stress, etc. etc. but know nothing about greg except there is a mrs. greg and that they have nice breakfasts, nor do we need to. shouldn't know more about bean than cat. also do not need to know about a bean's social life except how it impacts diabetic cat management.

  • don't make your thread longer than it needs to be. no need to comment back to each person that posts in your condo with an individual post, you CAN combine more than one thought in one post.

  • recaps. they are nice.


topic three~ Bump Feature

  • please do not bump up old posts! if you want to comment on something posted yesterday cut and paste what you want to comment on into today's condos. (exception: is okay for OTJ parties or GA announcements if you missed it the day before).

  • early morning people, scan down and bump up posts that are for today and have gotten buried by some late night action.

  • if your condo gets buried and you have an important unanswered question, bump your own condo up! or if you are reading someone's buried condo and see they need help, bump it up. posting a reply on the thread will bump the thread to the top!

  • use the 911 icon in your first post of the day for medical emergencies only. please remove it as soon as your emergency has been responded to.
thank you! :mrgreen:


written by ronnie and luna:

Just a friendly reminder...
if ur "Questions" in ur subject line have been answered, please clear ur subject line. Clearing the ones with answers makes it easier to bump the ones without...

GRACIAS!! :mrgreen:

That's what the Community Board is for.
 
oh i agree. still lantus peeps put in sooooo many hours it is nice to see some comic relief.
 
sigh, I will certainly miss the party threads.....wonder if we could just do a party condo once a week in LL. I know that is what community is for, but as Lori said...sometimes you need the comic relief.
 
why does the banter have to go? the main folks helping don't seem to mind.
it does make sense to make your subject title current to your situation...but the banter is so a part of the kewlness of LL. as well as the friendliness etc.

I have to say I do tend to agree. While I may not post on those threads too often...I do read them and get some "relief" from them. I personally don't visit "community," LL is my community.

Everything here is regimented to an extreme in some cases...and some shared camaraderie is good for the group dynamics too.

We're often reminded our cats are more than their numbers, so are their owners and beans.
 
yes, why the lack of community chat as long as it's on one's condo?
i know i know, i don't belong here, go back home to pzi right?
believe me the rest of the board all wishes they had what you guys have here which is intelligence, experience, friendship, comraderie, fun and all that other stuff you crazies do.
did'nt jojo make up the dictionary of lantus vocabulary...now that is funny!
 
yesterday, I went to a condo because the subject line said the person had a question. I spent TEN minutes in the condo searching through many posts with cats talking to each other. If there was a question, it was well hidden. I gave up before I found it. I hope the question wasn't urgent.

Yesterday (I think) there was someone with at least 4 condos, and people replying in all of them. Today there is someone with two, because neither has a date in the subject so people are responding to yesterday's.

Once this weekend, I discovered that I had missed a newbie that was in the 40's for the first time. Her condo was buried, even though it wasn't that old.

I love that LL is a community and that we have fun together. I personally don't have a problem with some chit-chat here and there. We're family, I wouldn't still be here if that wasn't true. I ABSOLUTELY don't have a problem with updates pertaining to our cats, current, OTJ, or GA. I do think it's a problem when the social stuff makes the insulin support stuff get lost. Just my opinion. :smile:
 
I also enjoy some banter and I like to connect with the people that rally around me when I am at a low point but it does give me a chill to think a newbie with a 40 was overlooked. I have been that panic-stricken newbie. I would like to think we can find a middle ground??? but I'm not an advice-giver so....I'll defer to the experts.
 
IMHO, we need to strike a balance. And striking that balance is the responsibility of all of us. I'm here a lot and so are many others. Quite a few of you have said extremely kind things about what I contribute. The reality is I learned a great deal from people who are still here and who have departed LL and I continue to learn from all of you. The commitment to pay is forward is one of the things I value most about LL. As a group, we need to make sure a newbie's condo doesn't get buried because that person didn't know how to bump their condo to the top of the Board. Condos can easily get buried when there is good natured social banter that keeps a few condos at the top of the Board. We all need to make sure that there isn't a newbie having panic attacks or isn't well enough versed in FD to know that he or she should be having panic attacks.

If you see an issue or a question in someone's condo and the concern has been overlooked, quote it, put it in bold, do something to make sure that lots of eyes take notice of what could be a problem. If we are to function as a community that is social, supportive, and dedicated to the health and welfare of all of our cats, we all need to contribute to keeping the needs of our kitties first and foremost.

Just my evening ramblings.....
 
Sometimes, rather than getting depressed or upset when the numbers are not going they way we'd like,
Or on a day when we are reflecting what life used to be like before this happened to our babies,
Or when we just feel down & alone....
It is uplifting to see the party news on one's condo, or a post about surfing, or imaginary kitty social fun.
It Makes Us Feel we care about each other!!! It takes away the pain for a little while..
This disease & it's ailments associated with it Are Serious enough!!
Some levity in our condos, takes that away for a few seconds!
Been here a long while & never went on Community more than a few times--Lantus Land is my home.
I dont think I want LL back on the totally serious side again--Been there Did that-
Medical news & Numbers should always be posted first!
That's a given.
Hope we can find a happy medium!

All very, very good points Libby. And I do believe in this sort of venue perhaps the creation of a bit of netiquette or forum etiquette is a good idea.

Subject lines indicating a question. Those threads should have the chitchat stop until the question is addressed. That way responses will be easily identified for both the questioner, the answerer, and the lurkers. The question and the valued responses will be evident for ALL of us. The condo owner should then change the subject line back to normal once the question answered. I believe Jill addresses this in the initial clean-up post.

This is a serious problem. And again, I believe it is a matter of forum etiquette. We should all recall how being new felt and how much we depended on the advice givers here. Our cat's lives in some cases literally depended on it.

There are enough eyes and readers here in LL, that one of us should have helped the newbie out. If you don't know what to tell them...just go in and bump it up. Again, Jill addresses this in the initial post. We should not be so lost in our cat's make believe world, that we forget about the real one.

We all have a debt of gratitude to the many experienced folks here that help us out everyday. We all have a responsibility to pay some of it forward.

As one person said earlier in the thread, the chit-chat and comedy is still healthy to the group dynamics. We should not lose that entirely. The suggestion of a single thread, a single condo might be a good idea. Perhaps a Daily Mews or Cat Chat thread?
 
Sometimes a balancing act requires getting your tail wet occasionally. Wonderful comments, Wonderful support group. Thanks for reminders to first focus on medical .....And then enjoy one another's support and company.

I agree that cats health and BG's should be before all but to me if you turn this in to a completely serious forum then its hurting everyone JMO since to me FD is a constant worry and stress for me and its the lighthearted parties and made up fun that you find on LL that helps to take ones mind off of the constant worry over numbers and bouncing again this is JMO but I have enough serious in my life without being able to go to a imaginary party I was not going to comment here but then decided to I do understand everything Jill is pointing out as well as the comments Libby made about it being sometimes difficult for those of you who advise to maybe find the right thread I do hope a balance or compromise is made for I think if we are not allowed anything but serious then LL is going to be a place not as enjoyable to visit

it's good to hear everyone's thoughts. thank you for sharing them.

the "cleaning up LL" post was written some time ago by jojo for good reason. many of you do not know her. illness has kept her from this group for quite awhile now, but i can tell you with utmost certainty jojo's number one priority is helping diabetic kitties. as one of the all time great leaders of this group, she recognized how posts were getting lost and buried. questions remained unanswered. help was not always received on a timely basis. in some instances, this could be dangerous as libby pointed out with the example of the kitty who dropped to 40 this past weekend and went unnoticed at the bottom of the list. there have been condos with no replies... even yesterday after jojo's post was presented to the group.

it's happening again, folks... which is why several of us thought jojo's post deserved to be resurrected from the past.
kitties and beans are getting lost in the shuffle.

think of jojo's post as a wake-up call. a reminder, if you will. some of you need less help than others. we all understand how treating and taking care of our kitties is oftentimes rough emotionally, physically, and financially. sometimes the whole family feels the strain. the friendship and camaraderie from chit-chat, kitty parties, kitties talking to other kitties, etc.... the bond that is built between caregivers is strengthened and the load is lightened for some, but let's not get so carried away that those who do need help are overlooked or buried in our silliness. yes, it's uplifting to chatter about nonsense, but not at the expense of others or just as importantly, their cats.

we DO understand the need for lightheartedness! in an effort to take some of the clutter off of the lantus isg, in the past we have encouraged participation in the Community forum on FDMB as well as setting up another "place" for this kind of support to blossom and grow so as not to take away from the need of those seeking help in treating their diabetic cats. originally, this other "place" was set up as a service designed to provide immediate assistance to group members because of the frequent technical problems (crashing/outages) FDMB was experiencing at the time. FDMB outages have since become infrequent. the need for this other "place" as a "backup" in emergencies has diminished. however, just as there are other diabetic kitty forums not associated with felinediabetes.com or the FDMB, it remains a good source of information, social bonding, and fund raising for kitties in need of emergency treatment.

after rebecca received a complaint, i was told that removing all mention of the LL YUKU board from the first post on this thread "is best".
i believe she has addressed the issue with this statement (in part):

"Please, please, please, I am so tired of people complaining about "nasty" people on "backup" boards,facebook, etc. There are NO, NO, NO backup boards for FDMB. I am involved in none of them, I sanction none of them. FDMB and FelineDiabetes.com are trademarks and if people are using FDMB, especially stating that they are alternative or backup boards for FDMB or FelineDiabetes.com, please let me know and I will contact them. FDMB and FelineDiabetes.com cannot be used without my permission. Please don't blame me or FDMB for the actions that upset you. Don't clog up my board with expressing hate/frustration/etc. with other boards and groups that discuss diabetes in cats. This is about cats, not interpersonal relationships and not about other people's sites."
text in context can be viewed here: http://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=25411&p=255623#p255623.

soooooooooooooo, while we can continue to direct you to the Community forum here on FDMB, we can no longer direct you to this other "place". my take from the link posted above is that chronic complainers have sealed the deal. out of respect for rebecca's wishes, we must work within the parameters she has set up as owner of the site.

reaching a happy medium IS the answer... the only answer. we all enjoy a good laugh and can certainly use the comic relief, but there has to be a balance somewhere. look down the list. make sure every condo is visited. bump condos with questions. let's work together on this, k?
let's make sure threads are no longer buried by the "fun" condos. let's make sure everyone gets the help they're seeking.
we can do this!

just my thoughts.
thanks for reading...

So Squishy can't post here and let friends know that he just posted somethng new "over there"? :sad:
 
can i get a ticket to go 'over there' as i have alot of friends 'over here' or do i have to shoot my kitty with lantus first? my application has not been approved.
 
How about this!! ALL BG NUMBERS, MEDICAL INFO, AND IMPORTANT FD INFO POSTED FIRST & FORMOST!!
I do agree that's why we are here-- Especially for Newbies--A test number should be posted in the subject line, everytime so it can be easily seen!
If one looks at the board, the way we post is quite evident, but does need to be learned...I do think almost every newbie is told this.

For a bit of levity in one's post could maybe be saved for the end of the post, so not to be confused with any other information.
I have always respected the FDMB way & will continue to.
 
As a newbie (& nkotb) here, I have tried to follow the established etiquette (as soon as I found out what it was!) but on a couple of occasions, questions have indeed gone unanswered for some considerable time, whilst during that time I saw other posts with tons of replies.. Don't get me wrong here I am not complaining, and I have not gone completely without any reply - it's just that at times I have wondered if (when?) anyone might to respond to what I was saying.

I have so far tried using the '?' topic Icon (and otherwise left the 'm/dd Sooty AMPS xxx etc' Condo Subject line as it was) - is that the correct thing to do? I have also seen some condos use the word 'Question' in the main topic subject. I have tried that too but in a 'reply' to my own daily Condo (intended to Bump it) but it seems that using the 'reply' Subject line (or the '?' icon on a reply) doesn't alter the Appearance of the Condo itself in the main list - so I guess no-one knew that I was asking a question!

I guess I oughtta just come right out and ask, what IS the recommended, or best, way to pose a question in LL? I have done my best to read and follow all the Stickies, but as a newbie on here, I have to admit that at first, the first priority was to get some help and advice - and so, learning the jargon and all the 'ins and outs' of how to use the Site per its establish etiquette (whilst I tried, honest!) still had to come second there - for a while at least...!

HTH,
Perry

awww Perry I am so sorry you got that experience. That's not right.
The way to get your condo back up top is to write 'bump' in your own reply section.
also if ignored for too long try writing in all caps to finally get peeps attn and then you can change your caps back to regular.
or maybe just one word in caps like PLEASE

To get attention to your condo you have to change the icon and/or the title of your first post. Changing it in a reply does not change what everyone sees when scanning the condos for the day. Also, you need to change the title of the first post as suggested in section 1 of Jill's original post.

Clear as mud? :smile: Please ask, that is how we can all get on the same page.

Thanks - and yes, I get the concept of 'bump'-ing a topic up to the top (although it often doesn't stay there very long!) but are there any other things that we should do? (like as mentioned before, adding the "?' Post icon (as I've done on this 'Quote' reply) - which I believe is recommended somewhere? Or is editing the Subj line to say 'Question' acceptable? (and then of course, putting it back to normal, after it's been answered!)

So many questions... so little time...! LOL
cat_pet_icon
 
Very good question, Perry.

What I would do is do a reply message in your condo, asking your question. Then go back to the FIRST post of the day in your condo. Hit Edit and edit the Subject line of that post to include the word question (but leave the date, cat’s name, and recent numbers there). Don’t edit the text in that post, just the subject. Editing the subject line of the first post will make the word Question appear in the subject line that shows on the board, while adding your message in a reply will make your condo bump to the top of the board. If you don’t get answers, never be afraid to bump your own condo again.

We don’t have a Jojo anymore, who could be on the board 18 hours a day. Most of us are here only a few hours a day. The first thing I do when I get on the board each evening is scan the subject lines for questions.

Something everyone can do is when you sign in to post your condo, if you have a couple of minutes do a quick scan of subject lines looking for questions, low numbers, etc. Pop in and see if you can help. If you can’t help, bump the condo. If it’s urgent and you can’t help, PM somebody who can. Also, if you still have time, take a look down near the bottom of the page and see if there are any Today condos that have no replies, or just one or two. Stop in and say hello and see if they need anything.

Thanks for the brainstorming, everyone.
 
Jen, (our last posts crossed...)

THANKS! That answered my questions perfectly. I'm only sorry for being so dense!

And a perfect answer, Libby, thank you very much, this brainstorning has really helped - I am very glad I stopped by this topic!
 
As most of you know I am the first one that likes to write a funny line or two ( in my mind anyway) ...or find that misspelled word and add my 2 cents about that word. We all need humor and fun especially dealing with FD, and other very serious medical issues that are often presented here.

I have not been posting as much as I would like although I do try to check in to see if anyone needs help. I am here in the early morning hours sometimes posting but often times lurking to make sure there is no emergency etc. Ronnie/Luna has been very good about sending me a pm to let me let me know if she thinks somebody may need help or will be looking for advice early in the morning when there are only a few of us in LL.

For the newbies that don't really know me from my lack of daily posting....Putty has been a diabetic for 2 years so I have been very fortunate to have gained a lot of knowledge from so many others that I now feel comfortable passing on that knowledge.

It has become a little harder to post because it is difficult to decipher where the help is needed because the threads have become so long. As Libby said when somebody post's "question," or "help" it makes it very difficult to find that question or to help because you have to sift through 50 posts of italics (kitty posting to kitty) and it really makes it hard to get to the root of the problem.
We are all here for the same purpose and it would be a shame if somebody really needed help and it went unnoticed because it has been buried.

Again.....I am all for humor and having fun because like everyone else I do enjoy a funny thread but some do often get very long that I end up not reading them when I could be missing some key information or something that can be passed on to others.

I also don't mind reading a sentence or two about the bean but a lot of times the first post of the threads starts with more about the bean's weekend and social life than the cat's. When I start to read that post I read a couple of lines then stop because I know I will spend too much time reading things that are not about the cat.

Like Jill said.....we need to find a balance. We all love humor and funny posts but be aware of those that don't partake in those threads and say a few words in those condo's to bump them up so they do get noticed. :mrgreen:
 
Newbie though I am, I have to say I agree with Miriam - I think that if you don't have a reply to make that is about the cat (= BGs, Curves, Spreadsheets or Lantus) then simply put, just don't reply here, period. There is a 'Community' forum for socializing. In other words, no unjustified BUMPing! By that I mean, a post in this forum should only get bumped if it is because the reply or quote is ON TOPIC. There that's my $0.02 so I shall shut up now!
 
I deleted my story of my kitten rescue and put it in the Main FDMB forum.
Is that ok?

I had thought that since my cat was on Lantus, I could put her story here.
 
i guess we are all making room on the board. my 3 page thread about all getting along and adopting a newbie was deleted...i SUPPOSE for that purpose. still, if you want to leave lantus for a few minutes...jog on over to health and find yourself a half crazed newbie :mrgreen: it's very rewarding and will slow down traffic here.
 
I will bump this up once again - even though most of the comments i would have made have been stated fairly clearly so far. I truly hope we can strike happy medium here for everyone. I truly believe that we can work together for all the kitties that are part of the LL community. It is home for so many of us. I know for me, personally, LL is my home. I would not, and rarely do, visit the community forum.

I personally enjoy the comic relief, the kitty parties, the humor. FD is difficult enough to deal with. I cannot count the endless nights of worry, or fear of what I would find when I came home after working 12 hour days, or the tears at seeing numbers that, in the beginning, just never got better. The humor, light-heartedness was such a moment of relief, sanity, a warm heart, a lessening of pain, an uplifting caring moment. It is this side of our lives that makes the picture, for me, whole. I find it as important as the serious side of why we are all here. I was recently asked by a member whose kitty recently crossed to the bridge to please keep that kitty's social party function in the LL community alive. It mattered to her, and to the memory of her kitty. How can I say no? That kitties social/fun role in the LL community was as vital and loved as was the medical issues he dealt with before his passing. So, for that kitty, his role will be carried on. I will do my best not to let it come before our purpose here. It goes without saying that I still place the FD side of this as our top priority - I always will. But we also need the fun side too.

We need to do better by our newbies. I remember my days as a newbie: horrific describes it well - i posted so late in the day (due to work schedules) that there weren't many available to help me - save one gracious soul who took me under her wing. I know what it is like to post day after day and get little, or no response. Gratefully those days are behind me now, but I do know that it is still happening to others. I hope we can do better by them. We are a community - we all need to look out for one another. Take the time to scan the days posts, make sure no one is buried. Watch for the new ones, help them when you can, bump them up in cue if you can't answer the questions. When writing a condo - state your FD items first, place the fun last. Be responsible for your own posts - if your question has gotten lost, state it again, bump up your own post. make sure the social kitty fun banter doesn't get out of hand. These are all simple things that everyone can do to make sure no one is lost in the days activities.

Let's all work together: for our newbies, our oldtimers, all of us that live in LL. We are truly a great group of wonderful, caring people.
 
Bumpee

Just a friendly reminder:

please keep all your questions in a single daily thread.
One thread per day per kitty, please!​

This makes it a lot easier to answer questions and for you to see and follow your replies.
 
i can't believe the craziness that goes on in here...and i see no way of stopping it.
these peeps and their talking cats are totally out of control :lol: !!!!!
and i have never seen such partying in my life! days at the beach! partying every night of the week....these peeps live like rock stars!
 
Hi Everyone,
I missed this thread the first time around because it coincided with Stu's illness and death. But I feel compelled to say that if it had not been for the compassionate help we received on this board, combined with the fun and fellowship that are hallmarks of this Lantus forum, we could never have dealt with Stu's conditions and still have come out in one piece. Sharing the fun gives all of us hope. Let's work towards striking the proper balance. It would indeed be a dreary affair if we were restricted to talking only about the illness.

Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)

If you are concerned about someone who hasn't posted in a while, a PM may get to them more quickly than bumping their condo since an e-mail notice may alert them to a PM. There is also a Lantus Land social group (no dosing help is provided -- just news and camaraderie) on Facebook. Some members who aren't posting here may be on FB.
