What do you think of grandma baby showers?

[LaurieS]

I think that Pen's statement was a generalization and not directed at any single person.

I have to agree.. most humans pick and choose how we view something and our reactions, based on how it suits us at the moment... you see this is, in your face type of thinking often... but again I do not think that Pen was picking out you directly ow, not by any means.

[holliberri]

Yeah, I think we were all just giving opinions on a subject....that is what we do here. I don't think anyone meant anything personally.

[LaurieS]

ok.. can you tell I was distracted when I wrote that reply.. lol  .. I was busy creating a gift registry for myself

[Pen]

Quite true, I wasn't referring to you, OW. Just pointing out that as humans we tend to ignore some rules but are sticklers for others. Or, we expect more from some people than from others. For example, when I offered my SM Thanksgiving day left-overs she was aghast, saying that I was not following rules of etiquette, but didn't say anything when her own daughter offered her leftovers the following year.

Oh my god Pen.. of all people you should know better... you posted a link to a very very very questionable and unacceptable topic..

English language vulgarism most commonly used in reference to flatulence ... I think I've been edited and pubicly scolded for that 'word'

[holliberri]

Laurie, I don't think what Pen did was offensive, I rather thought it was funny. I'll take it down if someone finds offense, but it was a joke...not even a mean one.  I haven't edited anyone for using that word and I haven't scolded anyone either.

If someone could invent a sarcasm font, they could be a multi-millionaire!

[Pen]

LOL

[SassyDI]

Oops if I hit report to monitor didn't mean to on my phone.  I for one found it funny

[holliberri]

SassyDI,

I think Laurie and I  were talking about this...I reported myself yesterday somehow.

These Droids are out to get us.

[AnonymousDIL]

Oh NO! It's Skynet all over again! When will the Terminators be arriving? Anyone have an emergency bunker for us to live in?

[holliberri]

I see what you did there. LOL.

...I'm also well-versed in the language of Laurie. Haha.

[pam1]

Check these out Adil.  http://disasterbunkers.com/photo-gallery.php  I read you can live there for 5 or more years with air and food.

One day I'm gonna get one.

LOL, I just texted my friend that I'd "be over in a jiff" and my D-uh Droid told her I'd be over "in a huff."
