expressive

It is passed 5 days after I asked you to become a member in my site, but you still now haven't did it. I don't know why you are uncaring(???any better word) about it. Are you really not interested to become a member in my site?

She was farther away from me. So I can't touch her.

I don't know when you are going to send me further details.

She told the part of story expressively. We really liked it.

When I moved out of the home to go London, I could see my parents' expressive hands gesturing me didn't leave us.

Please correct my sentences.

Please stop beginning sentences with 'so', Gary-- I am tired of correcting that problem. Five days have passed since I asked you to become a member of my site, but you still haven't done it. I don't know why you don't care about it.

Thank you.
When I moved out of our home and left for London, I could see my parents' expressive hands waving goodbye (?)
No, they are not "waving goodbye", instead their hands subconsciously gesturing him not to go. Actually, he was forced to go to London by his boss. His parents really not want him to leave them.

Now do you think my use "gesturing....

No, gesturing doesn't quite fit in here, Gary. If you want to use 'expressive', then I would write this:

When I moved out of our home and left for London, I could see my parents' expressive hands imploring me not to go.

Thank you.

Can I also say, "When I moved out of our home and left for London, I could see my parents' expressive hands imploring me not leave us."

No, but you could use 'imploring me not to leave them'.

...imploring me not to leave them.

Yes, or you could say that, too.

Not to sound like Brittney Spears, but "Whoops, I did it again."

I started a post, got distracted, and then finally posted, only to find that I'm now completely redundant. But it's a good thing we agree, isn't it?
