Well gee Mr. Bobster, I was not meaning to insult you at all, I just asked a simple question based on a simple observation of your slightly strange response to my question. And based on your defensive outburst, it sounds like people have either leveled this simple question at your before, or you have already put up with lots of "drunk" accusations from other posters? No need to get all huffy and defensive; I wasn't meaning to offend you.

My original response was a joke, nothing more. You see you were complaining about .. and then you were doing exactly ... aw, never mind. Have to explain a joke it ain't funy anymore, assuming it was to start with.

My second response was not defensive at all. Just stating what it said : I can handle all the insults people want to throw, but occasionally I'd like to hear some new ones, because those two particular stones have been thrown so many times their surfaces are polished smooth as glass marbles by the number of people and number of times they've been pcked and hurled. Gets boring, that's all.

Sorry if my humor was a little subtle. Irony is tough on a lot of people, so don't feel bad.

Cool

and one which i should have included in the poll is "Posters bragging about being on vacation".

Cats are a temptation but nobody here can take one on for ten years. Stop it with the cats already.


Amen. I found quite a few kittens a home whilst in Korea with folk who claimed were solid....very convincingly.
Twasn't so in the end for some of the cats.
Expendable.
It makes me very angry. I'm still angry and I kick myself for having believed the idiots.
If I'd known, I would have kept the kittens myself, just to guarantee them not having to go through being abandoned by irresponsible, ratbag owners.

And squabbling thread-hijackers.

And misogyny.

I'm sorry to hear that Canuckistan. That is just awful. You thought you'd done the right thing by these little creatures, and it all turned out badly due to irresponsible idiots. I would be angry too. Mad

When people don't answer your question in a thread. There are 9 pages to my "more women questions" thread and I still don't know whether to bring my hair dryer and straightner, it got de-railed to talking about yeast infections and then when I try to come into lighten the mood I am immediately thought of as a troll. Start your own thread on yeast infections, don't ignore me when this is my thread!!!!!!!!! And don't call me a man becuase I find the Diva cup absolutely disgusting, it is!!

I also don't like it when people correct your spelling, thats so annoying.

I'd put a peridod there. Make it into two sentences. Of course you'd have to capitialize the "d."

becuase


That should actually be spelt "because."
