How can I not consider you a friend? Have you checked out our avatars? Haldir and Aragorn were good friends, in the same fight (and those movies saw me through some very rough times). Why would I consider you an ogre? I agree about the MMSM board excesses, I had to leave, especially Ben's as it was toxic! I love Project Runway and have watched many times (but never started posting until more than half way through MMSM - I'm rather new to all of this)! Ill be sure to post at PR this summer. I do hope to see you here more before then though - thanks for the intro! biggrin.gif

I don't know if you are still reading me, but if you are, congratulations on surviving and good luck quitting smoking. As you might imagine, I can be quite annoying reminding my guy he is a (fairly new) diabetic, and so, as a tactic, I volunteered to share the same dietary restrictions in his company. So if Drew gets to be a pain because he loves you and is afraid of losing you, don't let it hurt your relationship. There are ways to redirect our worries.. rolleyes.gif

My hints..

Get an old fashioned paper notebook and plan out how you are going to reward yourself after each complete week of quitting. But don't plan out more than a month ahead at a time. Take your family with you to get your reward and they will feel part of the process.
Every clean week is a reason for celebration. Much lung damage can be reversed! Every clean month is a reason for a party.

Don't make it an all or nothing deal in your mind. If you cheat, start counting for your next reward from the next day, unless you have more than one smoke, then you have to wait the same amount of days as cigarettes, before it counts toward your reward. Hint: Let Drew participate in some of the rewards, such as giving you a special massage. If he feels he is helping he will stop nagging so much. It worked with me. blush.gif

If you are being stubborn, take drastic action with yourself! Go online and cut and paste pictures of emphysema patients on the inside of a notebook where they won't traumatize your family and look at it when you want to smoke and write rants in it about how the world is unfair and nonsmokers don't understand how sick you feel... cause they won't.

Some people carry an empty cigarette box with a loved one's photo pasted on, but I think that's a bad idea. Cigs are the enemy! Better to print out my avatar and the words.. Nancy boy dares you not to smoke!
BTW, that's not a jab against you, because while I've been called worse, no one else has ever called me that before. I don't have any negativity associated with the phrase. It's kind of funny and kind of fancy, like a blast from the past. So no worries, you great hairy ape! tongue.gif
Now remember, my guy is a polar bear, so how insulted can you really get? wink.gif


Yes, you can be very annoying biggrin.gif , but, then again, so can I. Neither one of us is a day at the beach, and that's fine. I pretty much always know where you're coming from, though, so that's a good thing.

You do make some pretty good suggestions, and I appreciate them. I know how to quit, though, as I've done it before, with good results. Then the bad times get to me, and, before I know it I'm on my fifth pack. I just know I have to get through five days, and then, I'll be fine. I quit once, and I didn't smoke for three years. My clothes didn't smell of tobacco, my teeth brightened, and I could run without falling out after a mile. I was really healthy for the first time in years.

Then my father died, and I started smoking the occasional cigarette, usually with a cocktail. Ron kept me from starting up in earnest, though, and then he died, and I dove to the bottom of a bottle of Absolut for a year. I smoked heavily the entire time and, when I admitted that I was having problems with alcohol, the only constant on my road to saving myself was my pack of smokes.

It's my fault. The behavior was certainly there beforehand, but I just let it go free, and I've smoked ever since, I even left the hospital after suffering a major heart attack, and lit a smoke. This is, obviously, bad behavior, but now I have, not only Drew, but I have Denny, and I need to stay around for him. Selfishness is not an option.

Today is my third day, and I wanted a smoke so bad when I left Starbucks with my cup of joe. Someone I know offered me one, and I said no without even thinking about it. I'm getting there, and it's nice to have the support of people I know, and laughed with, and, occasionally, fought with. Life isn't a simple thing and you just have to get on with it.

But if it gets hard I will be writing so, you know, you can count on that one, Nancy. biggrin.gif

I have been reading posts by another person at this board that this will not be here for long. I chose to think that this was overreacting, but I really don't think it is anymore. I know I signed off last night, but before I went to bed I came on for a final look, and what I saw was so casually evil that I wrote to the BBB to report it. I could not send it, though, as the PM box was full. Do you all think that everyone decided to write at one time just to say "Hi"? I don't think so.

I thus know that the post I'm talking about truly affected people. After I read it I felt unclean, though I had just stepped out of the shower, and I swear I could taste that evening's dinner. Am I overreacting? Possibly so, but my reaction was pure.

I have stated here that I think printing a personal message is unforgivable. I stand by that. In the middle of the fight I had with Note I sent him a PM that was lamentable, but did he choose to reprint it here? No, he did not, and no matter how we feel about each other I respect that he didn't go that route. It's the mark of an evolved person to deal with the person you are talking to in such a manner. I respected his decision. He was commendable, to me, in that way, and I still read his posts because of it.

While I was reading last night I got a message from itunes that the new Madonna, that I had pre-ordered, and completely forgot about, was ready for download. I thought "Confessions on a Dance Floor" was a beautiful trifle, but nothing more than that. "Hard Candy" is a return, somewhat, to what she does best, and her collaborators are first rate. The test of good music is "does it take you away from your woes?" and "Hard Candy" does that, and does it with style and wit. I recommend it highly.

Last Friday I took my little buddy, Matt, to the ball game with Denny and I. As a thank you Matt bought me a copy of "Cloverfield" on DVD. When it came out I liked it for the way it was made. On DVD it's even better, as it was filmed like a person who was filming a party on his camcorder when the monster got hungry. It's kind of like "The Blair Witch Project" with a budget, and since I liked it's inspiration I was taken with "Cloverfield".

It's not everyone's taste, but it's smart, and funny, and scary; three things I look for in this genre.

I don't know what's going to happen with this chat board, so I strongly suggest that we all have fun, fun, fun til our daddy takes the t-bird away. Post reviews of stuff you like. Talk about things that wouldn't occur to you on a stictly subject only board. Tomorrow may be too late. I don't "just" report things that don't affect me. That was the red flag to me, and I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I also used the ignore function here, and I think it may be the first time. so that was another red flag.


Next week I may not have the option to write about CDs, and films, and baseball games, just for the heck of it. I'll miss that, but when this is gone I will know why.

Oh, while I was gone we were talking about quitting smoking. What a coincidence.

Saturday night I was leaving Nationals park, and I felt my left hand go numb. About the same time Drew told me that I was white as a sheet, and I immediately had a small heart attack. I know some of you are shocked. You didn't think I had one.

We got to the hospital, and it passed, but the doctor told me I was crazy to continue smoking. He told me that, if I had no concern for myself, I should think of those who love me. It kind of got through.

My father died of a major heart attack at age 59, and six months later, my beloved Ron died of one at age 54. I'm going to be 52 in October, and now I've had 5 heart attacks, and a double bypass, yet I was still smoking. This is insanity, It's just b*llshit nonsense, and I've had enough. I have.

I finished the four smokes I had in the pack and quit. I haven't had one since, and both Drew and Denny have told me there will be hell to pay if they see me with a cigarette in my mouth.

I want to see Denny go to college and have a wonderful life. I want to wake up next to Drew for the rest of my life. I want to be able to assist Dennis get his life back on track, and have a life with his son, after he gets out of the slam. I can't do those things six feet under.

So, you folks out there who are still smoking should look at your loved ones and take that into consideration. Is a smoke worth the pain you'll put them through if you depart?

You may gain some weight, but there are diets. You may not have that first smoke to go with your coffee in the morning, but there are other things you can be doing at that time of the morning. LOL Just ask my husband.

I now have to test my willpower. I quit drugs, and now it's quitting time for a habit I've had far longer. It will be hard, but you all know how hardheaded I am. I think I can do it. I just hope I don't drive Drew and Denny crazy.


Good luck to you, it's going to be tough...but you said you quit drugs, so you already know that you can do it.

Bear,

I am replying to you without using the quote function. Of course I am glad that you took my post to you in the spirit it was sent, and am hoping we could continue positive, but your post about "casual evil" seems all out of proportion to the same old controversy that has been plagueing this board since the new year.

It's odd that you worry about posting a Private Message without permission when it was your friend who was the first to do so. I am perfectly willing to post my two accusatory Private Messages in question, but if they post I will also post the Private Message apology your friend made to me on April 13. I'm not thrilled to rehash the past, but I will do it for the board and this thread. Otherwise, I will continue to express my thoughts in a civil manner without naming names. rolleyes.gif

I remember in 8th grade when they taught us the "New Math." It was sad, because I actually got that math, and then the next year they said they were going back to the old math, which I never grasped to begin with. Oh, well ...


I had to actually TEACH NEW MATH at one point in my life.Boy...was that EVER bad. Personally I like the way I grew up in the dinosaur age...

Put down the 1, carry the 2.

Makes a lot more sense than...Now we are grouping our 10's children...and then our 100's. What would a number system based on 4's look like? Now lets try that.

I can honestly say that I never saw that, but you know if I had then I would have said something about it; Friend or no friend. It's something that I find to be reprehensible and, if I did something below board, I would hope that you would point it out, That is how I roll, and I expect no less from my friends. I would think that no one takes pleasure in reading somebody their wrongs, but I would expect honesty.

And so far today I have not indulged. I'm going to be okay, and support, even from folks on a chat board, is always a big help.

As far as that whole "casual evil" thing? It's how I felt when I read it, but the person in question is always confrontational, even in the lightest of times, so I might be projecting. You know that I value honesty, though, and it's how I felt then, and still do. I will say no more on the subject though and, since I now am ignoring them, I don't see any reason to draw things out. Seriously.

I still feel that "personal messages" are "personal" and have no place on a public chat board. I see no reason in posting them. They were "personal" for a reason. I know when I saw my "personal message" displayed for all to see I felt violated, and I lost what very little respect I had left for them before it was posted.

This is the first board I have joined. It is not the first board I have seen. My reason for jumping in is that, after an early bit of watching, I saw people here with a shared interest who might disagree but did so with grace, intelligence and respect. This board is common ground. I appreciate it. I learn from Top Chef. I learn from you guys. This, in my mind, should be a forum for the sharing of ideas and support. If life-long friends are found here – fantastic! To me, internet boards are often a place to hide from the world while seeking validation (right or wrong) for personal situations or states of being. We all have wounds and need time to lick them and heal. Relying on those around us (whether on chat boards or in person) is what we humans, as social creatures, do. I have been truly inspired by the level of love that exists here – and truly disgusted by the level of hate. Some could be more tolerant and others could surely be less demanding. Some share too much and give too little while others do the opposite.

We can agree to disagree. We can feel disdain toward one another. There can even be hate. But when any one of us stoops to the level of publicly pointing fingers, name calling, goading others on to “get a rise” out of them and/or attempting to create an “us vs. them” atmosphere – this place becomes no better than any other. I was SO hoping this was a better place. It looked like it would be. I think it still can be.

I don’t really know anyone here. This is a family, of sorts, which I realize I have joined late in the game. We don’t all have to get along (and shouldn’t be expected to) – or even like each other – but I think that the overall intelligence and compassion exists in this group for us to be respectful, understand when “too much is enough”, call each other out then move on, agree to disagree, let the past go and behave in such a way that the “family home” will remain standing.

Give up the ghosts! That will set you free.

You make good points here. I know, though, I will continue posting to someone long after it may be called for me to stop.

I know when I first met my late first husband, Ron, I figured out very early that he would continue speaking just as long as I did, because he thought to prematurely end a conversation was rude. I even figured out that if I asked him out, and there was proof that he had no previous plans, he would agree to go out with me.

Maybe because of that I carry conversations out far longer than they should be. I have to get better at intuiting when things should stop.

Very nice post BJ and I wish it could be this way but I can tell you,it never will be. No matter how often a person apologizes for past sins,they will keep being thrown back in their faces,even years later. Passive-aggressiveness is considered the norm to a few. You can be verbally attacked for a very long time and the one time you fight back,its victim day on the boards. If friends step up to defend you,they are butting in but if the one who is all mouth and goading the hell out of half the boards friend step in,its a lurv fest. Certain people break trust and post PMs never meant for anyone but their eyes and thats ok because their friends are blind to their actions.


I offered do overs and concern. You see the outcome. I hope we dont lose this thread but if we do,blame damn well better be placed on all parties involved.



Now,is it wednesday yet?

I think you and I can be confrontational also. I read back what I had ignored a few pages and I noticed that someone threatened to post private phone numbers? I'm so glad I promised never to share stuff like that on the internet! The fact that no one has decried that strategy makes me think many are selective in who they dare to chastize.

Many of us vent in Personal Messages. I like the concept because it keeps the boards clean for everyone else. But it is unfair to expect dozens of posts of public accusations and innuendo to not be answered in kind. That is why I did not respond to your friend's Private Message where she blamed another for a misunderstanding. I considered it disingenuous.

Some of us are more skilled in silken phrasing than others. I prefer honest and blunt, or honest and teasing, to nasty double entendres and innuendo and the like or santimonious preachy stuff. That said, bJason's post was well reasoned and fairminded if it indeed is directed to all and not just some. smile.gif

It's great to meet another LOTR fan who is primarily a movie fan and not a Tolkien fanatic! biggrin.gif

Love the movies, especially the extended versions (I think I have almost worn them out! I immagine quite a different end for your character than is in the movies!) But, my Dear Haldir, I also like the books (not a fanatic, mind you)! tongue.gif

I have been reading up on you (only fair as you seemed to be familiar with my posts) and let me say I totally agree that "it is not the strongest who survive, it is the most adaptable"!

Also let me recommend the movie "A Knight's Tale" with Heath Ledger - a very unique movie - I think you will like it.

Love your avatar.... isn't that one of the funniest movie scenes ever filmed? John Cleese is a hoot!


The entire movie is hilarious! You have to have the right sense of humor for it, but it is timeless. As funny today as the first time I saw it over twenty years ago! Those Brits know how to have a good time!!! laugh.gif

You make good points here. I know, though, I will continue posting to someone long after it may be called for me to stop.

I know when I first met my late first husband, Ron, I figured out very early that he would continue speaking just as long as I did, because he thought to prematurely end a conversation was rude. I even figured out that if I asked him out, and there was proof that he had no previous plans, he would agree to go out with me.

Maybe because of that I carry conversations out far longer than they should be. I have to get better at intuiting when things should stop.


Bear...

I have had late husbands also. More than one. It is indeed very hard, .....Sigh...but you have created a new life now....so have I....and...

This is the first board I have joined. It is not the first board I have seen. My reason for jumping in is that, after an early bit of watching, I saw people here with a shared interest who might disagree but did so with grace, intelligence and respect. This board is common ground. I appreciate it. I learn from Top Chef. I learn from you guys. This, in my mind, should be a forum for the sharing of ideas and support. If life-long friends are found here – fantastic! To me, internet boards are often a place to hide from the world while seeking validation (right or wrong) for personal situations or states of being. We all have wounds and need time to lick them and heal. Relying on those around us (whether on chat boards or in person) is what we humans, as social creatures, do. I have been truly inspired by the level of love that exists here – and truly disgusted by the level of hate. Some could be more tolerant and others could surely be less demanding. Some share too much and give too little while others do the opposite.

We can agree to disagree. We can feel disdain toward one another. There can even be hate. But when any one of us stoops to the level of publicly pointing fingers, name calling, goading others on to "get a rise" out of them and/or attempting to create an "us vs. them" atmosphere – this place becomes no better than any other. I was SO hoping this was a better place. It looked like it would be. I think it still can be.

I don't really know anyone here. This is a family, of sorts, which I realize I have joined late in the game. We don't all have to get along (and shouldn't be expected to) – or even like each other – but I think that the overall intelligence and compassion exists in this group for us to be respectful, understand when "too much is enough", call each other out then move on, agree to disagree, let the past go and behave in such a way that the "family home" will remain standing.

Give up the ghosts! That will set you free.

Bear ..... That is an issue a lot of us share. It goes right with wanting to "fix" someone's problem instead of just listening (my biggest hurdle) and talking when we should have our mouths closed(my second biggest hurdle). The best we can do is keep on trying "intuiting" as you put it.

Ahh NOW you get it???

I never get gross..I always innuendo.
Not like some peeps around here.

Also I know you are trying to goad
me... All of you..Not working luvs.
I answer this for mum.
You can call my son an ax murderer if you like luv......Well you may have already.
I ain't reading youse peeps as much as
I can help it. You make me sick and
I don't care anymore.

Now I can post phone numbers if you
like.... Would that make you stop slandering me and dancing on my mother's grave???
How sick do YOU have to be to believe that someone would fake their own mother's death.....How sick do YOU have to be????

All that time spent Pm-ing and emailing and writing to my friend's and what Note did and all you had to do was be smart and say... hey Kristy.... where can we send flowers and you would have known the truth.

But of course not.... You crazy sick thrill seekers needed a kick didn't you??
All that time and all those emails and all that conjecture and all the pain you could have NOT 'caused me and Star.... Funny huh???

And btw peeps can laugh during times of crisis....We laughed at the wake.
We told funny stories.
It is what you do..We also cried our hearts out.

So I suggest to you darlings you all go see psychiatrists right away and leave me and my mother alone... I will talk of her as I see fit.
You go kiss your son with your dirty filthy mouth and maybe YOUR mother too.

This board is going to down...I see it coming.
The third time in history that I write the words going down and coming and NOT for a pleasant reason.


If you all continue your crazy feeding frenzy..as usual....this board will go down.
I gowontee....I suggest you ALL leave this one alone.


So many ellipses, so little time ...

It's like reading a Rosetta Stone or something. BTW, "friends" (aka 'friend's' in your planet's language) doesn't need an apostrophe.

As far as the subtleties of a "good pussy entendre," one must actually post a good one before it's deemed as such.

You never get gross? Well, sweetie, I beg to differ, because you actually do get pretty gross more often than not. The thing is, "gross" is a matter of opinion, and you've hoodwinked more peeps here into thinking your "gross" is actually "special," when it's no more special than anything any of the rest of us post.

You say that all the supposed "goading" isn't working, but if that's the case, then, honestly, why do you keep answering?

You reference "what Note did," so please, I'd like to hear what exactly he actually did.

Awhile back you extended to me via PM, out of the "kindness of your heart," the chance to be your "friend" again--but only if I first agreed to never again side with "those who hate you," and as long as I promised that I would unfailingly and under every circumstance "have your back" in any future arguments between you and "them." When I tried to reason that exacting such a far-reaching promise of that ilk was entirely unfair, you saw not the reasoning behind it, but the rebuke, and you renewed your hatred of me.

And that's why I believe that you will never be able to be reasonable. I would like very much to be friendly and to post with you, but you've--you've--made that impossible because you're unwilling to see and consider what's rational.

I used to like you. I used to think you were cool. But you've become a ridiculous parody--comedy or tragedy, I'm not sure yet--performed by a sad court jester, and that's a poor shadow of what you once were.

You could be using your posts to enlighten and spread joy, and yet all you do is alternately threaten those you feel need a Net spanking, and post visual and verbal softcore porn.

"What Note did?" Tell me, what exactly did he do, because I'd like something more than a vague reference for a change.

You talk about people being "sick" and needing to see a psychiatrist, but before you judge others, you might consider judging yourself, because you're all over the map, sweetie. How dare you condemn others for the same sins, oversights, errors and lies you yourself have committed over and over again? And how dare you think yourself that above reproach and squeaky clean!

Some need to stop taking you to task around here, it's true, but by the same token, you need to stop taking them to task too. This sh!t is never going to stop until WE put a stop to it, so why can't--why don't we?

End it here, Kristlkrost. Or don't you--like you say you do-- really want to?

If you do, then end it. Just stop the war. It's that simple.

Yeah Lia did it to Kanigirl ....well she said everything that was in them just about and then JME did it you. Gee I started a new trend.
Oh so I am terrible but their
friends...... peachy keen
I did cause Note pm-ed peeps and said my mother didn't really die and that I was Starfire and to stay away from me...They lied about me for about a year about all kinds of things.
I was desperate and I think you
are right... It is wrong.

But have you ever seen anything like this??
I adored Note.....We never had one bad word....And he takes it upon himself to do that to me???

So is it right to pm peeps and spread crazy malicous gossip that hurt many here...Just as wrong as posting them maybe???

When you have peeps saying your son is a pornographer and worse and that you faked your own mother's death??

When 5 peeps attack you constantly and LIE about you??? NO LIE about you???
I'm NOT proud....I aplogized to Note for saying he was a stalker..I misunderstood.
And for mentioning Star's name.
Where is my apology?????

I'm just saying. mad.gif


Are you trying to say that I posted a PM here from Kanigirl? If so, than that's 100% untrue. I never posted a false PM here from Kanigirl, and I'd like you to prove that otherwise. You're taking pieces of fairytale to try and pove yourself right, but you should actually have the proof before you try to use it.

People like Note, JustMe and me--all people who have never had the need to disrespect you--have expressed concern that you may have issues, and that you may need help. Instead of acknowledging that concern and help, though, you call us crazy instead.

Well, typical.

What's truly boring is you, my dear, in that you can't stand to be proven wrong, and that you can't even begin to entertain a different POV other than your own, especially when it's valid. Go on being your immature self, because that's the usual M.O. we've all become acquainted with when it comes to you anyway.

You ignored my plea to end things here and now, so I guess I really was right about you. You don't want to end the war, you want to keep it going indefinitely because you thrive on it and the attention it brings you. Funny how you used to condemn me for the same sin.

P.S. I thought you didn't read me anymore, according to you. Guess that wasn't really true after all. Thought not. wink.gif

By the by--still waiting for you to post that incriminating Bravo Board PM stuff that you say I posted regarding Kanigirl.

Wwwwaaaayyy back in the day. I was 14 or 15 when I discovered Python. Back before cable, 3 channels plus PBS when you set the anttenae just right. My mother was curious as to what I was finding so hilarious. She sat with me and watched the program. It was the skit with the picnic. Victorianish. It was a bloody (literally) mess. I thought I would pee my pants laughing so hard. I think my ma was considering therapy for me after that. Some folks just don't get it. This is also the woman who couldn't tell the difference between The Clash and Def Lepard during the stereo wars between me and my brother.

Yes me too! "Beating a dead horse" is an idiom that means a particular request or line of conversation is already foreclosed, mooted, or otherwise resolved, and any attempt to continue it is futile. In British English and Australian English, the phrase is usually expressed as "flogging a dead horse".

Good Evening, Well I'm back at work tonight. I want to thank everyone for the good wishes on the quitting thing. I did go all night on Sat and wore the patch. It went pretty well so I'm doing it again tonight. I'm working the next 3 nights in a row and Friday is my quit day. I know it isn't going to be easy but I'm so ready. Don't like to brag about my age but I just turned 55 and I feel like a very young 55 at that. Now is a good time for me. I've lost weight over the last year or so and have become more active as far as walking and riding my bike and I want to be rid of this demon tobacco. All the support I can get will be more than welcome and if anyone is up all night in the next few maybe we can chat. Thanks again.

Cripes! Sounds like my mother, also. She would get annoyed that I found Python funny and she didn't get it. "That man is just running around with 2 coconut halves... what's so funny about that?!" Ah, poor mom... that's what's funny about that. "Fetchez la vache!"

It's very frustrating. No one seems to want me to post the pm in question, and KK is still spreading lies.

It is ludicrous to me that she thinks she apologized for posting many times calling me a stalker and threatening to call the FBI on me and inciting others to complain about me to the BBB. Does she think she accomplished this by sending me a private message blaming another poster's poor English- a teacher no less, who has since changed her username. wacko.gif She certainly did not apologize for making public things I confided to her in Private Messages when I thought we were friends, such as that I was diagnosed as bipolor and took medications.

And she thinks she is owed an apology from me for her misrepresentation of what I said in a private message to another? Who does she think she is? the thought police? wacko.gif Yes, I privately wrote to one other poster that I felt KK betrayed our friendship but it was KK herself who proclaimed to the public board repeatedly that I was trying to turn people against her. What people? I posted my complaint to one person. There was no possible way for anyone to misunderstand it as a stalker post. The person who received it replied kindly to me, and we had no further private communication to this very day, which is why her parroting of KK's stalker claims totally confused me. By then I considered both of them either confused or malicious and just ignored their provocations as much as possible.

But I think they misinterpreted my silence as guilt or weakness. When KK announced the death of her mother, I responded with a short post of condolence. I never disrespected her mother in any of my posts. I never commented at all when she talked about her son's home computer business, which she described as a "girls gone wild" type of endeavor.

And to this day the lies keep on coming from her, not just about me, but about my board friends. So yes, I will say in public now, that I do not trust anything she says. Anything at all. But that should be inconsequential to her if she knows she is in the right. Not everyone on the internet will see things the same way. It's no great tragedy. Some have probably left this board convinced that I am a dangerous stalker. I do not spend my days crying in my virtual soup over it.

Now this is a half hour of my life wasted on this drivel, and if you had any sense you scrolled past. laugh.gif The lies and loud laments will continue for sure. Attention will be given and the status quo will return. rolleyes.gif Night all..

I'm sorry KK but can you not give it a rest for God's sake?

As I see it there are only 5 peeps bringing it up over and over... wacko.gif

Look everyone who has been on the boards has professed love for one another from time to time NOW you continue this stupid WAR and try to get Factions...

I quit the boards because of this foolishness on the PR boards.... do not make me do it again on this board .... As God as my witness I will sic Zoie and Jenn on you .. I'm Tired of this. Period. angry.gif

Wow, Actor, it seems you're really upset. So am I. So is probably everyone involved in any of all this(even the peeps who have just read and never participated).

I have a problem with some of the statements in your post. First of all, who is this "we" peeps keep referring to? And who the hell is "they"? Two years ago? No, two years ago, most of us weren't on this board yet. You and I both joined in August of 2006.

IMO, posts like these are one of the things that add to the confusion, hurt feelings, and all around f*ckedupness. Peeps posting vague, often subjective feelings as facts.

Who said I hated Justme? I never did. I don't call peeps names, either. I have been called plenty of names by MH and you say we all have "professed love for one another"....we so disagree. Somehow, being called names like "dumbass" and "stupid" doesn't make me feel very loved. You can assign motives to peeps but it doesn't necessarily make it so. You call out KK, then say the way you see it, there are "(only)5 peeps bringing it up over and over". So who is not letting it die here?

Are you trying to say that I posted a PM here from Kanigirl? If so, than that's 100% untrue. I never posted a false PM here from Kanigirl, and I'd like you to prove that otherwise. You're taking pieces of fairytale to try and pove yourself right, but you should actually have the proof before you try to use it.

People like Note, JustMe and me--all people who have never had the need to disrespect you--have expressed concern that you may have issues, and that you may need help. Instead of acknowledging that concern and help, though, you call us crazy instead.

Well, typical.


GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES IC

LIKE I SAID BEFORE

WHEN YOU POST ...........YOU POST laugh.gif

IF THE BABY WHO DOESN'T LIKE CORNERS

DOESN'T GET THE MESSAGE NOW

WELL IT'S PRETTY MUCH OUT OF OUR HANDS

WOULDN'T YOU SAY ?

IF PEEPS KNOW ME I HARDLY EVER USE THE PM

FUNCTION.......

TAKES TOO MUCH TIME........

FOR ME I THINK WORDS CAN BE EXCHANGED HERE

IN THE OPEN

THOUGH IT WOULD SEEM LIKE A POLUTANT

THERE CAN BE NO MISTATING OF FACTS

AND I ONLY POSTED ONE PM HERE

IN THE LAST TETATET

BECAUSE OF IT'S TACKY CONTENT

YOU KNOW I CAN DEBATE SOMETHING WITHOUT

STOOPING TO "THE 7 NAUGHTY WORD NAME CALLING"

SOME MIGHT DEBATE WITH ME ON THAT SUBJECT

BUT I CAN SAY I REFERENCE ONE THING TO ANOTHER

AND LEAVE IT FOR THAT PERSON TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS SAID

BUT REALLY NOW

IT'S ALL REALLY FRIGGIN SILLY ALL THIS

AND I DO FEEL FOR THE MOST PART

THERE ARE PEEPS WHO ARE TRYING THIER BEST TO KEEP THINGS MOVING FORWARD

SO MAY I SUGGEST TO YOU LADY IC......

LET THE DWELLERS DWELL.........

WHILE THE REST OF US

SKIP THE NIGHTS FANDAGO biggrin.gif

("US" FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO NITPICK IS USED IN A GENERIC TERM...)

TAKE CARE OVER THERE

Very nice post BJ and I wish it could be this way but I can tell you,it never will be. No matter how often a person apologizes for past sins,they will keep being thrown back in their faces,even years later. Passive-aggressiveness is considered the norm to a few. You can be verbally attacked for a very long time and the one time you fight back,its victim day on the boards. If friends step up to defend you,they are butting in but if the one who is all mouth and goading the hell out of half the boards friend step in,its a lurv fest. Certain people break trust and post PMs never meant for anyone but their eyes and thats ok because their friends are blind to their actions.
I offered do overs and concern. You see the outcome. I hope we dont lose this thread but if we do,blame damn well better be placed on all parties involved.
Now,is it wednesday yet?

AND YOU ANOTHER ONE THERE LADY BRILL laugh.gif

WHEN YOU POST .........YOU POST biggrin.gif

WISDOM IS WHAT I SEE ..............

AS FOR SOME PEEPS THAT BECOME INVOLVED IN CONFRONTATIONS HERE

SEEM TO FEEL AN APOLOGY IS A "WIN/LOSS" KINDA THING

NOT REALIZING THAT JUST READING WHAT IS SAID

THAT THE DEBATE HAS TRULY ENDED

THERE ARE THOSE WHO MUST HAVE THE LAST WORD........

NO BIGGIES FOR ME

DOESN'T MEAN THEY ACHIEVED VICTORY

AND THE JOKES ON THEM IF THEY DO laugh.gif

REASON I WILL RARELY APOLOGISE

UNLESS IT IS SINCERE....SORRY IS CHEAP

COMES TOO EASY FOR SOME

I LIKE YOU AND A FEW OTHERS ............

HAVE ...I FEEL TRIED TO MOVE ON ...............

ONLY TO BE ATTACKED AND DRUG BACK INTO IT..

WIERD PART ABOUT THE WHOLE FRIGGIN SILLY THANG......

I TOOK NO SIDES......... JUST DID THE HOKEY POKEY

THEN BAM.............I'M DECLARED DEAD laugh.gif

AND GUESS WHAT LADY BRILL

RIGHT ABOVE THIS POST I'M REPLYING TO

IS A POST FROM THE PURPLE PIMPERNIL HERSELF

YUP ......THE ONE WHO TOLD ME TO STAY AWAY FROM HER AND SIZ

ADDING IN AI

PROVING ONCE AGAIN ALL'S GOOD IF SHE DOES IT

BUT NOT FOR ANYONE ELSE TO DO IT laugh.gif

AND AS I HAVE STATED BEFORE (ANYONE CAN REVIEW IF THEY WISH)

I HAVE STAYED AWAY FROM THOSE WHO SAID TO STAY AWAY

BUT THEY STILL WANNA GET ON ME laugh.gif

SHRUG

I JUST FIND THAT FRIGGIN HILARIOUS laugh.gif

THANKS FOR THE SOAPBOX LADY BRILL

SAID MY SAY

HOPEFULLY NOW WE CAN ALL MOVE WITH PROGRESS

AND ROCK AND ROLL wink.gif

WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT ANY FUTURE

"HAPPENINGS" PERTAINING TO THIS

CAN BE BOILED DOWN TO A SPECIFIC PERSON

THAT'S IT biggrin.gif

I'M REALLY REALLY DONE WITH THIS FRIGGIN SILLY STUFF
