Dear SB,

beatlesgirl25

Good point, Star. Perhaps it's that no one is being controversial that is frustrating as well.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Dear SB, : Yeah maybe. I don't know. I don't blame people for wanting to punch their boss or MIL but I also like talking about us too because, well, that's why we are here. It is much more interesting that way. Also, where is every one? I am a little suspicious that the first 14 people to jump in this post are completely different then the normal people who jump in EVERY.OTHER. post on here. I guess only a handful of us want to preserve the fun?

I have to agree too Star. But, I also know that people are picking on little things because it just seems mean and petty. Look at the thing I said about Jelique's post up above. Is it pretty stupid? Probably. Is it still bugging me? Yes. Does it make me think that Jel may think I hate her guts now? Probs. I don't. I jsut wanted to say something.

This is what my post should have said. I meant to put the word NOT in there.

SarahP, did you have something you wanted to say or are you just dittoing Meg?

Maybe we need a weekly or bi-weekly Festivus thread to air our greivances, no matter how small. Thoughts?

Dear SB,

When did you lose the ability to have fun with a troll/AE?  Too many of you were too quick to shout MUD on my troll (obviously it was MUD), but only CEW really wanted to play.  It made me sad.

beatlesgirl25

Haha, airing of grievances. I love it.

You mean like a FFF type thing?

marriedfilingjointly

Festivus will be way better than FFF.

I almost listed knotties to punch but it would have been too obvious.  I decided my interstate story was more appropriate.

MandK9

You should all make AEs and have your weekly airing of grievances.  That way you can quench your thirst for honesty while still being able to be safe from backlash

Oh, or, I can sacrifice myself to the masses and you can all ask me horribly personal questions and then mock me for my TMI responses. Yes? No?

I'm not a reg, so I'm willing to step on that landmine for the greater good.

I think it should take the place of the FFW we tried to do but were unable to keep up with.

Starmusica

I vote for no Fridays but its completely selfish because I cannot log on from work.

If anyone would like to punch me, I prefer it to be in the kidney/uterus, as I think my eyeballs might explode right now if my face took a punch.

That's WAY too reminiscent of the call out site.

dmiller9274

I like the idea of festivus, as long as that doesn't stop people from saying what they feel in threads too.  We tried to start FFW and it last for maybe 2 weeks.  

Starmusica

I vote for Festivus Thursdays. thats just me.

Wednesday's work. We can replace Wednesday's good morning thread with a Festivus thread instead. Keep the gripe-fest going from sunrise to sunset   :)

Agreed, and as far as I'm concerned it completely defeats the purpose.  If someone on here that I respect flames me for something I'm more likely to take a look inside and either make a change, or say "Fucck it.  I like how I am."  If some newb I've never heard of flames me I laugh at them.

Starmusica

I think if everyone is so up for this why wait. Just do it now and make it a tuesday thing.. otherwise the rest of this day is lost for this board.

This makes me wary, only because it treads back into KPS callout territory. I think people should have the balls to say it as themselves, otherwise what's the point? It's not like people hate each other here, they actually really like each other, and being honest and talking shitt out that bothers you only strengthens that. Like a family.

Hmm, I feel like I'm getting lovefesty now... dammit.

Also, I love your invites, Mand.

We're kind of sort of doing it now, aren't we?

Oh and Star, I posted the chicken wing recipe for you.

[QUOTE]I feel like TK needs to make an iphone app for the message boards. This is friggin ridiculous. Im all in no matter what day of the week. Are we restricting it to SB greivances, TK grievances or general universe greivances?
Posted by SarahPLiz[/QUOTE]

I'm thinking it might be best to leave out the general universe stuff because we pretty much do that whenever we want anyway. I think keeping it TK related would be best, even if it's something from another board (it might spark a new conversation)

I agree. It would be nice to see more discussions and controversial things, but I don't see the need to tear people apart just because there hasn't been a lot of action lately. People seem so eager to air their greivances that I see any kind of FFF turning into a mild version of the callouts. I've seen the FFFs get nasty, and I want no part of that.

If someone has a problem, say it in the thread that particular issue is in. Making an entire thread dedicated to making people feel badly about themselves is just mean to me. I know, I know, get yourself some thicker skin, girl!

betrothed123

Can we post the rules in the first Festivus thread?  Every FFF I ever took part in had a bunch of quarrelling related to whether or not people were following the rules and that's pretty annoying.
