Mine was even better......three leg joints sealed in a plastic wrapping and frozen......now wool for wigs either I'm afraid. Can't contribute.....

It's amazing how long this thread has been going on and only discussing how you are percieved by others. I've popped in a few times over the past couple of days, but have not read the whole thread because it is just so boring...to me anyway, because it is so meaningless to me because I'm new and don't really know any of you or what is going on here.

As a new person posting on these forums, my thoughts are that it does feel that there are a lot of people who know each other well and have developed relationships over time. There are people who seem to be closer to each other than others--it's just like any place where people socialize regularly, like a neighborhood, office, school, whatever. Some people don't get along and it seems when a conflict arises out of that, others come to defend them. There is some childishness like name calling and insults which probably makes a lot of people uncomfortable, it does me. A new person coming into this can feel like any new person coming into the same kind of situation in the real world. Think about it, visualize it if you moved to a new town or started a new job and everyone there already knew each other and there was a set social 'scene' in place--

Some people are very independent and don't look for any particular acceptance or to fit in. Lots, perhaps most, people will say that's what they're like--but I'm skeptical about that--people like to say they are totally self contained but behavior belies belief in that assertion.

In any case, trying to put it simply: it can certainly appear to outsiders that there are established social groups here, that they may clash with each other, and that if one isn't accepted, one may be ignored or unaccepted. It all sounds rather childish, but adult behavior is never so nearly mature as we like to think it is--think about how people behave in love/romantic relationships. Just the fact that you all go over and over the accusation of cliqueishness for pages and pages and in the process continue bickering with each other....well....

If I have offended anyone, well....then you are all just too sensitive for me.

well, I have to fess up here - they're Aunt Bessies out of the freezer but you are more than welcome - if only we had a tardis hey - that goes for everyone too by the way, not just some........

but all the same - Hi Morgan

Damn....me n Lush were going to have a braiding clique, too.

What am I gonna do now?

Well, we do not exchange emails or information, that was just an honest observation of what I have noticed on the threads. I have noticed people come into a thread just to complain about her and not even respond to the thread or the OP. I htink she handles it well.

Hi trish can't get the right flour here, they come out like muffins

Start a thread and call it:

Wool donations needed....

Loosen up and join in if you like.

oooh Id like to be in the braiding one too - count me in for that one

i agree with you she does

Black wool or white wool????




God, I think I need to be medicated.......

Well said, adults are never as mature as they would like to think they are.

I know i can stamp around and have a tantrum with the best of them

should have read 'your post'

You need experience of a minimum of three years, Trish.

As a person new to these forums, and noticing that most of this thread is people agonizing over the accusation of cliqueisness, i thought some might be interested in how you are perceived from the 'outside' so to speak.

oh thats a shame - you'll have to give somebody whos gonna visit a shopping list before they set off

Bingo.

Clique or no clique....have only been here for just over a month,

haven't met any of the people normally on the threads personally, they're all strangers.....

but yes, there are those who I already say hello to and am friendlier with with others....

maybe it's got to do with the person's karma....

and yes too, I am nonly here to have the same company as I wouold if I go to the local pub....

some I like to join for a drink, pothers I just hi to, others I ignore...

So? Does that make me a clique person or what?

no probs then - i have that and more - I only had my long hair cut off last yr and I reckon that by the end of this one Ill be able to get it back in a braid of sorts

Somehow i don't think you would give a damn
