I know that feeling.

and out came me, first in line (for the massage RaRa ).

I put in a metal coarse file

It's called *class* Mike. Some have it, some don't.

Born in Virginia, raised in NY, Long Island.

Same here SW. I haven't had your or others experiences with other sites but if you say so, I'll trust ya. Maybe am too much a hopeful optimist. This place really is a great place, just like mentioned- it's wearing when things are all haywire due to a couple of posters and their non-intimadating ways. If I go any further, some mod will kick my butt out. I just want to be able to go in and have some real intelligent, thought provoking, problem solving conversations with real folk in certain areas without feekling it is a few's ground and they run every thread down to their liking.

scary,scary. I guess M2 is just a shrunken world planet without the Holocaust, but then, it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings.

Yes, well my brother calls me Ms. Tact. .Thank you Ruth,Iam sincerely flattered You really get to see the inner workings of people on a place like this. I've seen people say things that really change my vote about them, mostly men. Not that they aren't nice people, but just those parts of them I wonder about. Being here almost a year, I can read threads and posts without looking who wrote them and can pick out alot of youse guys<G>.
I used to be sensitive but learned over the years that there's a time and place for everything in this world. I just know that I have come to this place and walked away feeling real good yet more and more are seeing little things that sit on the fence- so the OP/poster can say 'what? why that? I didn't mean' and the thread contnues. Has the whole world gone to apathy? And I walk away in disappointment.

THESE ARE GENERALIZATIONS FOLKS, NO ONE IS BEING POINTED OUT. Maybe we've realized, as fun as it can be, there are still a handful who make life here rather difficult/dreary to be on here. I know I have .Who needs the grief, arguing, the dissing of people in threads. Not me I'm here for instance but there is absolutley nothing new on the boards, just the same few threads managed by a small handful of the same people in each one. When someone new makes a comment, they are ignored (maybe as a initiation rite- Couldn't figure that one out) or someone makes a smart aleck remark and more than once I have seen people deactivate from their own thread because of such.

There needs to be a little more explicity on the ground rules about adult behavior, since apparently some don't know what it means.
Also respecting others space, allowing them to be who they are, what they think. .

ah yeup, thats me alright ,even down to the bunny slippers.
And although my computer hasn't actually said it, I get the feeling.

I got home from work today and spent 4 freakin' hours online. Take a 5 minute break to pee, give the dog a cookie, answer the phone, so on and so forth. Really out did my self I did. Feel like I wasted all that time, because it wasn't reseach or anything fruitul. NO, it was that darn FB. All of a sudden all these people knew in highschool have appeared, and it's so ridiculous.
Jill is watching the snow, thinking. 4 people like this. I'm just upset because I didn't paint like I wanted to, had planned to yet didn't. Good night all, or actually Good Morning by the time anyone reads this.

I think you're right, but altogether he has appeared to be a nice guy on the up and up. Could it be the brittish humor? NOT trying to downplay your feelings MSF , I'd be pretty darn upset too.

I can never get online when you guys are due to being at work. I was just reading this, it only does it for IM?
Recently I've gotten mail from someone I don't know, a woman, so have just deleted it. Sorry Mods, but the need to know about this to me, is very critical. I can't afford another computer or even to get this one fixed....

and out came Ben & Jerrys CarmelSutra.
(((Good morning Rara)))
I put in some green Iced tea with no sugar

The birds are chirping and chasing each other over the seed in the feeder.

The sun is just coming up over the mountain's ridge.

I have been up all night, first time in years.

It is now, the morning is just arriving with a touch of peach on the horizon.
Good Morning.

That makes me smile all the time, even get up and do the Happy Dance!

that one made me giggle. Hi Ruth. Mornin' ya all, nice thread, nice people. YAY!

My girlfriend's 10 month old grand daughter. I went over there after work and held her for a hour or so. She's such a good baby. And her brother, James, is 5, the most polite little boy I think I've met in a long, long time. He's my second honey. She had jsut gotten back from NY and took him out for breakfast. They took the long way home and she showed him where I live. he said "Lets go visit her" and she said oh no, she has to go to work. I laughed because it was about 9am and in no way was I up yet. Real nice to be remembered by little ones.

groaning.
