And the funniest thing in the whole world was Ark's 10 subsequent posts on the pro's and con's of scotch tape vs super glue to hold the pasties in place while dancing the hubbalua.

<queues up the blonde Texas-ness in herself>

Why would one tape or glue a sammich to their body when you can use peanut butter instead?

Because they are silly yankees!! What did you expect?? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

I'm sure Arkie will be happy to provide that, as soon as you provide an enthusiatically signed POJA from your wife.

ETA: I'm sorry if you're divorced Chrisner, I wasn't sure. So instead, it needs to be a note from your mom.

Sorry Resilient,

I strike out there too. My Mom died in September of '06. Two days later Wayzilla's smoking adultery took off on fire while I was occupied with my Mother's probate. D-Day was Thanksgiving. In between she did a great job of making sure all my Mother's accounts and investments was put into joint accounts. Wayzilla moved on to her future with 75K of my Mother's money. What a princess.

Oh well, no pastie links or sandwiches for me. Mel, what kind of sandwich is that? Sounds good!!

I definitely am not allowed near the superglue anymore...
mr Ark has removed it from the house...
along with the stapler...

which is a shame...because for some strange reason every year around tax time there's this crazy commotion about where is the stapler...cause someones W-2 needs stapled to someones W-4...

except now the third grader handles the taxes on the computer...

it leave me more time to figure out how to get the pasties to stick....without superglue....

life is a puzzle...

Lord, I'm so sorry Chrisner. IMHO, "Wayzilla" deserves her label.

Sorry to hear about your mother, Chrisner. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

A pasty is a YANKEE sammich that they eat in the Upper peninsula. They are actually quite good! Here is a link: http://www.thepastyshack.com/products.htm

They sell these in many of their mom and pop "party stores!" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sorry Chrisner about your mom. Losing a parent is soooo hard.

Chrisner,

I am so sorry about the timing of your mom's passing and your W's A...my WH started his A when I was caring for his ailing mother....she passed in June but fortunately never knew about WH's waywardness (she had dementia).

I gotta sign off, too, but before I go I will make my own pledge:


I will never ever again call out for an MB VET to help someone on such and such a thread.

I hereby pledge to win the war on poster labels, one stifled keystroke at a time.



Thanks, Mel and Arkie and Heartpain and Chrisner and 2long and Jo and PM and whoever has faster upload speed than I do.....

Any other words should we wage war against?

I hereby pledge to wage war on ADULTERY. A person's words interest me not.

Absolutely no one is going to tell me what I can or cannot write in a post, MB TOS and Mods/Admins withstanding.

Thank you,

(no, I'm not offering that word up for demolition).


It's all a matter of perspective.

Justin Playfair (George C Scott): "Dear friends, would those of you who know what this is all about please raise your hands? I think if God is dead he laughed himself to death. Because, you see, we live in Eden. Genesis has got it all wrong. We never left the Garden. Look about you. This is paradise. It's hard to find, I, I'll grant you, but it is here. Under our feet, beneath the surface, all around us is everything we want. The earth is shining under the soot. We are all fools. Ha ha. Moriarty has made fools of all of us. But together, you and I, tonight... we'll bring him down. "

I seem to recall a thread where someone was criticized and their sincerity brought into question because they knew too much about marriage builders for someone who had just registered in recent days.

And yet on some of the quieter forums I routinely see folks who registered 5 or more years ago with less than 100 posts to their name. And on GQII we have people who have an opening thread with 20 pages within a couple of weeks and their own post count at 500 before they've been around a month.

I don't consider myself a pro, I'm not an older timer around here, I was never in the military, don't try to fix farm animals and have no desire to be called a vet.

Shoot, I don't even have a college diploma.

But sometimes, a person asks for help and it triggers me to respond for what ever reason and something I say strikes a chord in them and they gain strength or hope or whatever they were lacking, at least in some small way, from what I said. And it never fails to scare the he!! out of me!

Because if I've learned one thing it is that there is so much I don't know and the more I learn the more I realize that I don't know squat! I tell people I know a little bit less about a little bit more than anyone else and if I keep studying really hard I figure that when I die, I'll know nothing about everything and everything about nothing at all.

My brain hurts...

This is moving way too fast for me to keep up between crisis alerts and inane phone calls.

And my tang is all tungled up around my eye teeth and I can't see what I'm saying so I'm gonna take a break for a while. Maybe I'll go to lunch...

Mark

I forget, was this a thread to complain about the war of words...or to complain about those complaining about the war of words....or a resounding acceptance of the war of words being complained about anyone that has removed themselves from troll status by a minimum of 50 posts without complaining about the complainers?

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that people aren't out 2 get you.

But I'm not out 2 get you. I'm not out 2 tell anyone how 2 post, either, or what words they can or can't use.

Didn't mean to single you out 2Long. Please accept my apologies.

I just see a smattering of posts implying we should start dictating what people are allowed to write.

As a responsible mature adult, I don't need anyone telling me what is and is not appropriate. I follow the TOS and will continue to do so. Those are the requirements I follow to remain a member in good standing for almost 8 years.

I hold MYSELF accountable for what I write, no one needs to do that for me.
