Serial Killers Unite - FLAMING UP IN HERE!!!

J&K10910 · January 2012

People like that make me feel like I'm broken.

midgetthemighty · January 2012

Aw, love you too Special. I used to be that person that annoys you TBH. I learned that telling people to be happy and smile just pisses people off most of the time. Just being my happy self around people works far better than telling them to be happy. KWIM? Then sometimes, a little bit rubs off but it's natural and not forced.

With that, I really need to get a shower and go to bed. I *might* be back tonight but I kinda doubt it.

P.S. I'm serious when I say that you don't need to "walk on eggshells" just because happy-go-lucky people are here. At least for me. I promise I've learned.

ski2play · January 2012

Weird, maybe, I can live with that. Happy to be alive, oh yeah.

You may not agree with this but I feel part of my inability to converse on the boards somewhat is my age. I speak freely the thoughts that come into my head. I know we have already gone there, they are weird sometimes, but the thoughts come from 46 years of seeing and living the drama llama, just as I got old, so did that.

I unloaded on a cashier at the hospital when my mom went in for her surgery. Telling me to smile and be happy and that the world is a beautiful place doesn't negate the fact that my mom's currently having brain surgery you douche.

FUCKING SMILE, SPECIAL!!!!

mica178 · January 2012

Birdie, I sort of wish I was stepping down right now too. $:\$

I'd sort of love to go Jas on E and have you ban me, then I could come back as a new Mica, and people would wonder if it was me or that weirdo SB troll.

Megbo2012 · January 2012

Don't feel broken, J&K I think you are awesome.

ETA: because everyone is different, and has different attitudes. That doesn't mean one attitude is the correct one.

Midge, you know I

you.

tidetravel · January 2012

Jumping in here late, but I'll admit that I haven't come around much due to how tame things have gotten. I remember several months ago I got flamed for something that I said to someone that was (by old E standards), totally NOT flameworthy. I remember thinking to myself, "Really? This is ALL you have to flame this week." And then I realized that if I continued to post like I used to post, I'd just be the lone bitch in the thread with everyone loddy-dahing around. Since I don't have time to hang out here regularly, I can't gel with the camaraderie of the board anymore. It kind of sucks.

Nickivegan · January 2012

I'm here, I got side tracked, and ate a mango. Anyway, I am looking for a full time teaching job for next year. I just can't get one at the moment as I am contracted for certain classes for the rest of the year. These teaching times are not easy to work around with other jobs. That being said, we are moving out of the co op this summer I think. It's a pain I the ass to deal with people who dont give ish about this place. Plus, Ell just started his full time job- that equals benefits and healthcare starting over the summer *hopefully*. So, we are using what we get since it is here for artists just starting out- us. And are just about to start moving towards a house. And I don't find a pelvic exam necessary. I know what I need to be on BCP- and it's a blood pressure test- that's it. You can call me stupid for that, but it won't change my opinion. I have done my own research and might go the at home exam route- someday. I don't plan on kids, nor any more sexual partners. My HPV risk is zero going forward.

Not quite the same, but my mom went off on her MIL when my mom's dad was having surgery for prostate cancer. My grandma (mom's MIL) told my mom "Think positively, it's a treatable cancer and it could be worse!" My mom flipped. Of course it could, but that doesn't make it any less scary or crappy, especially because my grandpa is in poor health to begin with.

I feel like people that say crap like that are trivializing other people's feelings, and that's crappy.

No Ski, I get you and enjoy your optimism. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but people who are <em>always </em>mean, bitchy, and rude isn't mine. I generally believe that when you are kind, good things happen.

midgetthemighty · January 2012

Meg,

you too

Oh, and all you others too! Sweet dreams!

Birdie1483 · January 2012

tide, I remember that. I remember thinking at first "wow that was kind of bitchy" but then realizing it was only bitchy in relation to the other posts as of late. Before, it would have just been a regular, tame, post.

ski2play · January 2012

J&K, you are most certainly not broken. Silly girl.

And thanks special, I really like you ladies and someone has to be the happy go lucky wierd one. Right?

louisvillebride21 · January 2012

I do wish you'd come back, Tide. You could help out. And I'm still here and can't gel anymore.

Exactly. That's been something that I've had to learn to bite back on with working with kids and their families. Parents and grandparents are always trying to tell kids that they're lucky, that whatever landed them in the hospital could have been worse...just let them feel what they're feeling, ya know? To a 16 year old, being told your broken leg is going to keep you out of football is a pretty shitty pill to swallow.

WildRumpus · January 2012

Tide, we need some good old fashion biitching in here.

ahhhitsshannyn · January 2012

I am kind, I just don't feel the need to blow glitter up everyone's ass all the time. I think its fake.

See, and I think this is lame too. It makes it sound like youhave strong feelings on a lot of posters/things here, but you have a valid excuse not to call them out because you're the mod. So instead you allude to them (and I feel like you've done this once before too) and it's lame as hell.

To be fair, I'm not purposely staying away. I really only get time to sit on the computer at work (at night, W-F), and by then, everything's dead. I'm still around, but for the most part, I don't feel like I have as much to contribute as before.

That's true. You seem pretty damn nice to me Shannyn. I'm not saying kind = puppies and rainbows. I do think there are <em>usually </em>more constructive ways to make a point rather than calling someone a fvcking cvnt. That doesn't mean I don't think the board shouldn't do that, but <span style="font-style:italic;">I</span> am not going to do that. If the board wants to go a cvnt-calling rampage, that's fine by me.

Birdie1483 · January 2012

I've honestly felt things lately, but then feel guilty for thinking bad things about people who wished me good thoughts when I was going through my personal shiit. So then I just feel like a bitch.
