Nothing annoys me more in FFF than something like this - where a posted "flames" themself for something not flame worthy at all.

[QUOTE]I hate how so many people automatically peg fundraiser-type Jack and Jills as a Canadian thing. There was a post last weekend that I read on Monday that was about things you hadn't heard of before TK and Brie said something along the lines of "those Canadian parties where they raise money for the wedding" (clearly not word for word, but you get the jist). I'm Canadian and I, too, had never heard of these until TK and I'm pretty sure the ones I have read about were posted by girls from the US. Pretty sure they happen everywhere, not just Canada.

Agreed, Dani.

If we all think people are going to sit back and take it up the azz, we are sorely mistaken.

Flame Fest Friday. It's more accurate.

[QUOTE]I have a feeling this won't get by without being flamed no matter what the subject line, but I feel like in that poll previous that had the question "what knottie have you changed your opinion about" a lot of people said P2 just because her FI has cancer. I am so sorry, P2, that you and Mark are going through that. It sucks big time and you are definitely in my prayers. I just don't think it's a reason to change your mind about someone's personality. Personally, I like P2 and never had a problem with her before OR after Mark's diagnosis.
Posted by FutureMrsTR[/QUOTE]

Um yah. This is definitely not why people say they've changed their opinion about me. When I first started posting here, I was a bit of a d-bag.

But for people like Coffer, Coco, and several others - they weren't here when I first started posting, I just didn't like them at the start, and made it pretty well-known. Truth be told, I still find some of them annoying.

My input for FFF - I think Ricks looks about 12 in her sig pic. This isn't bashing her appearance!

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · November 2009

That was me, Nebb:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_and_Jill_%28party%29

Someone mentioned to me it was a Southern Ontario thing, then I came across that.

It's not to say that everyone in Southern Ontario or ALL OF CANADA does it, though, or that it isn't done elsewhere.

TiDa2009 · November 2009

Really? Huh, well, I guess I get a little taste of foot, too. Still, they don't just happen here (and not in my area at all), so I hate it anyway.

Thanks Nebb.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : Wait...WTF. Who did this? There can be serious consequences if someone with a nut allergy eats something like that. That is a seriously fuckedup thing to do to someone. I don't care how much you don't like them.
Posted by salt78[/QUOTE]

I also think that Arb (and now Salt - sorry) are over-reacting a bit to that. The OP said she just didn't want the azzhole to enjoy the cookies the way everyone else could. She wasn't trying to poison him or anything.

Andplusalso - every person I know with a nut allergy steers clear away from most home-made goodies, as you never know how clean or nut-free a kitchen is. If they weren't that anal about it, I think a person with a nut allergy would always ensure that he or she wasn't eating a cookie with nuts in it. In this case, if the guy ate one of these cookies, I'd totally blame HIM if he had an allergic reaction.

Posted by Nik1202[/QUOTE]

That makes it sound like you judge us for participating. If you weren't passive agressively passing judgement by saying that, why post in this particular thread at all? If you have nothing to say, don't say anything, not even a "I'm better than you all because I have nothing to say."

I think the FFF posts are a helpful way to get stuff off your chest.

I think Wiki is wrong here. It's definitely known throughout the prairies as being a Manitoba thing...mostly referred to as "Socials".

Also - I'm not against them. They're FUN, and extremely traditional in some areas. It's not something the bride and groom plan and throw for themselves...

I am however, against socials for 25 wedding anniversaries - and refuse to go.

Posted by Nik1202[/QUOTE]

Do you understand the expression "throwing people under the bus"? We aren't sacrificing people here to get personal gain. There's a big difference between flaming someone and throwing them under the bus.

ivystar57 · November 2009

fishy would be ok though, since her shoes have holes in them.

ricks, it's ok for you to have your own opinion about cew and her funnies. I'm not really a fan of her style, but to each their own. I think everyone gets tired of hearing the same thing over and over again.

Actually, I don't get a lot of the "humor" on this board these days. A lot of it seems juvinille lovemeloveme, puke, vom, sex, loveme. But I guess if people want to act like they are 12, whatever.

<div>Yeah I know that now. I didn't see the original post and the way that Kiki retold it sounded like whoever made the cookies was trying to get him to eat them so he would have a reaction. In which case it would be sneaky and awful to do to someone. It's a completely different story if she just made them and he knew about the nuts and then couldn't have any.</div>

Flame Free would be an ironic name.

Arb, regs have complained before about posters that just come on here for a random question then stop posting or actively contributing, I feel guilty of that.

But pretty sure you just don't like me, so there's that.

ivystar57 · November 2009

yesnomaybeso? meh. I like you, ricks. It's hard not to.

I'm also surprised there was a time you lurked. I thought you were here long before me. Which I guess you were according to your join date... but really? When did you start posting? Because I remember when P2 started posting and she was kind of a nut. But now she's our nut. **

**those with allergies, please don't eat P2. Thank you.
