RE: What sort of a day have you had ?

Hey starshine! How are you doing?

Just so you know!

Hi everyone--want to tell you something, hope he doesn't mind. My friend (SB, to many) knows what he is doing. Take his word for it. And mine. This is one very kind, caring man. Also one extremely intelligent and capable, and very well respected guy. I wouldn't try to pull the wool over his eyes. Not even.

RE: What sort of a day have you had ?

I have had a good day too. You are one heck of a smart guy. (You knew that I switched computer terminals. How is it you can tell?)

RE: For a little while

RE: I Don't Like Your Answer....

You may be correct. May I offer an observation? It seems to me that from time to time whenever someone has an opinion or comment that is not exactly what the poster wants to hear they accuse him/her of "hijacking" the thread. Reading back through some of these, the thread was not hijacked at all, the writer simply had another way of looking at the thread topic. How about this for a threader header?--

"Thread About How I Feel About This N That But please only respond if you agree with exactly every single syllable I say and don't add anything of your own and only tell me exactly what I want to hear". THERE! problem solved, right? *




*please stick around. There are some really nice folks here, too.

RE: A New Start!!!!

I don't know why but this post really encouraged me today. So many challenges these past four years have opened my acceptance of many things. I do admit that I have difficulty letting go of stuff, but as time goes on it becomes easier. A friend of mine asked, "Try to look at it this way: In (a month/year) will it be so important"? she is right. We give too much power to crappola. Learn to let it go. We can. It feels good. Thank you for your post. It helps.

RE: I Don't Like Your Answer....

You know, isn't this whole process supposed to be enjoyable, educational,and
friendship forming? Have some folks lost the essence of what a singles club/gathering is for? I am here to be kind and be treated kindly, and when that isn't happening, well, zap. See ya. Don't forget to write, a**hole. (actually, please do forget to write).

RE: Is it ok to drive and listen to headphones?

I should have thought about this thread before replying. It's a sore subject, and in all fairness I suppose there are people who can multi-task. Police officers have to, other utility personnel. When a tragedy hits home, it's difficult to be unbiased. Perhaps I came across a little too hard, but thanks for recognizing that driving is not a carnival and cars are not toys.

RE: Is it ok to drive and listen to headphones?

Two beautiful older relatives were both killed instantaneously because someone in another car wasn't paying attention to his driving. If anyone out there finds taking the operation of a motor vehicle too boring, then don't drive.

RE: What is one song, that you feel truly could tell others who you are? and

Hi Jeepers. You so cool, Bud. One plus years now! Wow! (and..I have extra bread now. Go figure!)

RE: What is one song, that you feel truly could tell others who you are? and

Hiya Sweetie--How's it going? Check out the lyrics to my song Think you'll like it. Here's kisses & hugs

RE: Is it ok to drive and listen to headphones?

No. You need the undivided attention of all of your senses while driving. No fumbling for a cigarette, burger, or soda. Both hands on the wheel, except while shifting. Both eyes on the road. Both ears free from any superfluous stimuli.

RE: Sarcastic comments.. what do u think is the cause ?

Mine too--the sisters tend to have the sharpest comebacks! It's a bunch of fun. I'm with you

RE: Sarcastic comments.. what do u think is the cause ?

Family sarcasm CAN be a good thing--A few years ago in "Life In These United States" (Readers Digest) a man wrote in that his family had gotten together over the holidays. Two of the siblings were on semester break from college,and were bemoaning whether to continue certain classes. The mother casually said, "Well, a course is a course.." to which the entire family gleefully responded, "Of horse, of horse!" *

















you have to have watched "Mr. Ed" as a kid to understand

was that by any chance sarcasm?

RE: Sarcastic comments.. what do u think is the cause ?

Here's a little colloquial sarcasm for you (meant to make you smile, so sorry if it's um, sarcastic...)

In the south it's "All right, touch me but don't get ahead of me".

In the north it's "Go on and get ahead of me, but don't touch me!"






*about the irony and sarcasm of social mores.

RE: Sarcastic comments.. what do u think is the cause ?

Sarcastic people don't like other sarcastic people. Do you think there's a fine line between "wit" and sarcasm? Sometimes it's OK to be quick on the uptake, but it's up to interpretation, at times, anyway, whether it is sarcasm, per se. Just my opinion, being sarcastic is, well, it's just sarcastic, that's all! (I don't care for sarcasm. It ruins the intent by adding an unnecessary element of negativity. There's other ways to get a point across).

RE: I HATE U

Check out a book recently published by one of our local authors--It's selling like hotcakes-

"Why He's My Ex", by Krishna Devine.

RE: What being brutally honest means to you?

thanks

RE: What being brutally honest means to you?

I would agree. How are you?

RE: What being brutally honest means to you?

From the number of e-mails I got from this post, I would DEFINITELY say you're angry! Good grief, is this a forum where we can all have opinions and answer posts like yours, or not? My input is completely relevant, it is NOT off-topic, you are behaving in an inappropriate manner and at least nine other members on here have validated this. Cool it!

RE: What being brutally honest means to you?

I do not quite understand this.
The original question is "What does being brutally honest mean to you"? So, to address the question as it was presented, shouldn't we parse it succinctly to the question itself, and not so much go into depth the harshness that may be interpreted? For example:

"To me, being brutally honest means A B C & D". (Instead of going into a value system, hashing out whether or not being brutally honest is of any or no value, what levels of brutal honesty may or may not be acceptable, who will be hurt or not hurt by such honesty, whether or not the honesty was requested or any of these side roads). If this is desired, then a thread topic along the lines of "Do You Think People Should Be Brutally Honest?" would capture the mood of all that other rhetoric.
