Can the Adults Please Smoke? Part 24, Drunk on Guinness- Page 129

Just stopping in to *breathe*

I am so enraged right now I can't even believe it.

And part of that is an acknowledgment of how I let this remote, uncontrollable forum get to me.

Which is only a mirror of the realization that I'm enraged at a world that is, for the most part, beyond my grasp.

Welcome to the breathing room, DG.

Would ypu like that to be a double DG?

Thanks, Tink.

I might just have to take my own bottle and disappear for awhile.

Honestly, I am aghast - and what REALLY disturbs me is the thought that certain things can and do go on all the time, and it's just accepted as the norm - to be 'expected' in the world we live in today.

Well, this isn't MY world, and I certainly don't have to live in it - or participate.

I'm going to go throw up now.

Jeez, what'd I miss?

Honestly, Girly? Probably nothing. Just a thread by a 'Ripped Man' that has triggered something in me that I can't accept - and won't allow, in my life anyway.

DG, remember all the warm, friendly, sincere, genuine and (relatively) "normal people you've met here. Just because we're in the minority doesn't mean you should forget about us!!!!

Gracie, I was married to a Jewish guy. Believe me, that doesn't guarantee ANYTHING!

Thanks, all.

And I know, MissP, I know.

I am truly upset by this - I can't stop shaking.

So, I'm just going to take my leave and leave well enough alone.

It seems to be what is warranted and deserved.

I just figure it is a poor excuse for a poor joke of a poster.
In any case DG, you can't help the feeling, it just happens to those of us who want people to be better than that and it hits some base notes.
If you don't want it in your life, don't allow it.

Everything is a bit better when your beautiful cat is kissing your nose and gumming your hands.

I saw the thread DG - I was just puzzled by the whole thing - I have a webcam and am ripped, come chat with me boys" thing.

But I am an old, crazy cat lady.

It is funny to me that so many people on these boards can't read obvious subtext.

"Everything is a bit better when your beautiful cat is kissing your nose and gumming your hands."

Now THAT made me smile

To be fair, I have heard "horror" stories from many male posters who have had other male posters cruising them on this board. And some of the stories make this guy look tame. (Not that I'm saying it's good thing. I'm not. It's just that there are things that go on here all the time that we know nothing about.)

I'm watching the original XANADU with CBC, LS and Lolita. I like my world.

I know about it.
That's why I say. Err on the side of someone being up to something.

DG, I do not know what this fuss is all about, but Y just gave us the quote of the month:

But I am an old, crazy cat lady.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 7/30/08 at 12:42am

Brd - compared to some of the folks on this board, I am an old, crazy cat lady (though I only have two).

I honestly think there is a generational divide sometimes ...

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 7/30/08 at 12:49am

Only think that "sometimes," You????

I went to a party on Saturday where a "young" woman was telling me that women who experience symptoms of menopause are basically just using it as an excuse to inflict their "mood swings" on everyone around them. It's really "controllable" and completely "mind over matter."

AAAARRRGGGHHH!

I am worried that we have not heard from Singer. I hope his baby is OK.

Many divides at times!

Night Adults. I have an early meeting tomorrow. I got some Stoli spoiling to do before bed.

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 7/30/08 at 2:26am

Stoli spoiling is a good thing.

Just saw Randy Pausch's special on tv. It was nice. Such an inspiration.

DD - I was watching it too, very inspirational.

I guess if I'm the first one up, I'm in charge of breakfast!
