Want Us to READ Your Post? Be SPECIFIC in the Title

I know that when I post to OH I really value and want those in the community to READ my post and respond.  I am sure that others who post here would also like us to respond to their post.  Herein lies a problem.  If I see a post that just says "Help!" or "This Can't Be!" or "Depressed", I don't know 1.) what your issue is, and 2.) if I actually have the knowledge or experiences to help you.

Sometimes I don't have time to read through all of the posts.  But, I would like to be able to respond to those that I know I had something of value to add.  I know how important your insight has been to me and I like to give back when I can.

So PLEASE... when you post, add a little detail... like... "Help, I have a Pain on my Left side", or "This can't be - I've gained 5 Pounds since Surgery", or "Depressed Since I am no Longer Able to Eat Sweets"...  This gives those of us who may have gone through similar experiences, but don't have a lot of time right now, some insight into whether we can help.

Thanks for listening!  Pam

Or be like me...the Queen of Red Herrings, with post titles so ridiculous you just HAVE to click it to find out what the HELL I'm prattling on about this time.

Your posts are so entertaining I always click 'em! 

My next title shall be "Help, this can't be! I'm depressed" lol.

 Oh...that's a good one.

Sorry Pam...I totally respect what you're saying but that was funny!

I totally repsect it too and it is very true that I only click on specific things, but I could not pass it up, lol

No problem!  We need levity... really!

Nik, you could leave it blank.........if I see that you started it, I'm all in!

I agree 100%

I am never specific in my titles and people can't resist reading them!
