Do you ever feel like....

[Tigger&Belle]

Nice try. You just don't want to hand her over. You and I both know the laptop was asking for it.

When my mom was visting she did want to bring the cat home in her suitcase, which cracked me up....I think she's the only person who has actually loved that cat. We have 3 other cats, though (Tigger and Belle being two of them) and some are better behaved.

Yeah, maybe the thread would have been better if we'd all acted sullen and contrite. Maybe it would have gotten a page and a half of pixie dust and consoling and then it could have died a respectable death. Seriously, people choose the strangest things to make an issue out of. For the love of all that is holy people, it's only a chicken. Now if it had been a skunk, then that's a whole different story.

I guess I'm just not the sort of person who finds chickens really all that amusing.

Fair enough. Maybe we should just open a separate board for people with animal fetishes. Somebody needs to tape my mouth now.

I'm sure she's just thrilled that you lot brought your in-jokey garbage into her thread and turned it into a 200-post, pointless love-in that would have been better confined elsewhere.

Oh, the ironing.

Awwww man, now everybody is gonna start hatin on my naked chicken?? I was responding to lovemygoofy who was referring to another thread that has become devoted to chickens.

Actually, I loved your picture of the naked chicken. But do you see my point about how the other thread was brought into this one pretty early on? Not everyone is a chicken thread devotee. It just seemed ironic that someone referenced an in-joke from the exact kind of thread that the OP was sad about in the very first page. I actually thought that your naked chicken made things more interesting. And no, I am not devoted to chickens! At least not that way .

I know, it really sucks.

 

[bigmerle1966]

Well, I tried but I couldn't get you drunk enough

I think you were drunk enough for both of us.

Perhaps you'd best go do some rather than hijacking someone's thread?

Phew, glad you clarified that!

I do see your point, but I think the vast majority know that lovemygoofy doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She's one of my favorite people and I was weak and responded when perhaps I shouldn't have, but in my defense it was a Friday night. In all honesty, I don't get involved in hijackings nearly as often as I used to, but I can't promise that I never will.

Ironing? You do ironing? Cool I have some here, can I send it to you?

The funny thing is that the OP came back here and thanked some for making her laugh with their OT things when she was feeling a bit down.

Now that is some irony there!

 

[kaw1218]

Wow, I can't believe how rude and nasty some people are!
It's sad when people now feel like they can't venture from 'their' threads.

Heaven forbide I try to cheer someone up by giving a laugh.
How awful it would be if I were to offer sympathy.
And oh my goodness, if I were to direct a comment to another poster, you know, the one that didn't actually start the thread ,?!?!?
Even if it's relevent to that thread.

You know, there is so much more I want to say. But since I do like alot of people on these boards, I will stop here.
I will just go back to my Secret Green Club, because obviously that's where I belong. Everyone was always welcome there, now I'm not so sure

 

[MUFFYCAT]

Yes, that's exactly how I feel about certain threads. Honestly, this thread turned in that direction on page one with a comment about another inside-joke thread about (of all things) chickens.

FWIW, I think that the vast majority of clique-thread posters are quite nice and would be quite welcoming ... if their threads would slow down a bit to let people in. It isn't hard to post on one of those threads, but it is very hard to keep up! I have posted on a fast moving thread (like the DIS Ladies Trip Thread back when I was planning to go) and I would post, poke around on a couple more threads, come back in 30 minutes and the thread would have 3 more pages! I was welcomed (Hi! Glad you're here!) but I simply could not keep up with the in-jokes and the sheer number of posts even if I tried. You are amazing people!

So yes,sometimes I feel like I am in the middle of a private conversation but unlike the OP it doesn't make me sad. Like dis ms I just usually drift off to another thread that I can (a) understand and (b) keep up with.

as a member of that thread I do admit it does move at times.
then there are days when no one is there.
Just like the other long standing threads we have been friends for a year
and have shared alot with each other.
what started as a group of strangers going to WDW, quickly turned into friendships.

Please stop in
I post on threads that seem to get ignored at times but I figure if I can share or add something to another post- I'll do it.


after all what does Barney say?

I love you
you love me
we're a happy DIS family

The way I see it; the OP felt bad she couldn't "break thru" on some of the threads. A bunch of really nice, funny women brought the thread to her. They all tried to make her see that they don't exclude anyone and enveloped her in their wit and warmth. It's like ringing her doorbell and bringing over a casserole. Oh the horror, to come here and try to be friends with her on her own turf

I don't cook, can I bring a bottle of wine?

 

[imsorry]

great, now i'll get in trouble for starting another drinking thread

- first find out if the OP *likes* wine; maybe she would prefer a margarita!

 

[sydally9367]

I'm in a royally bad mood this morning, so I won't say what I really want to say as I know I'll be on the way out if I do....but, yes OP, I feel that way a lot and it is very frustrating. to you!

 

[JunieJay]

I really don't get some of you, especially the person who seemed to go after me. Do you have a clue that I have offered so much support to the DIS community? Do you know that I had a pelvic ultrasound today that will hopefully rule out some bad stuff, but could possibly confirm it? Do you realize that I have gotten so much support from my DISer friends and I am so grateful for that support and caring? Do you know that I offer love and support to many DISers and it doesn't matter if you are a friend of mine before whatever crisis you are going through? Do you know that I include each and every person in any thread that I'm a regular poster? You are so opinionated in your beliefs, but perhaps you should look closely at the house that you live in.

I know you do T&B. In fact, I think you are one of the nicest people on the DIS, and when I say nice I think you are a genuinely caring person. I think people are offended by the personal conversation that goes on in threads, not you personally. If they are offended by you, I think they need to look a little closer. I've never seen you be anything but supportive of your fellow DISers. Maybe people are just confused by the joking relationship you have with several other members of the board? I know I used to be, I guess I didn't understand if it was like an inside joke that might have some underlying meaning, but I've since realized that its y'all way of keeping in touch. I think probably the best way to avoid that confusion is to keep the private conversation contained to one thread, or in PMs or if you are joking with one another, let everyone else in on the joke. I saw one the other day (not sure who exactly the players were), but people kept talking about something the rest of us were not privvy to. They were using a certain acronym and just having fun with each other, but the rest of the people on the thread were lost. I think that is where the breakdown occurs. Its not mean intentions on anyone's part, I really believe that, but it does lead to hard feelings. KWIM?

T&B, I sure hope the results of your tests come back o.k.

 

[bananiem]

Thanks guys! I feel better now. I guess I was just having a blah day. I am sick and my kids are all sick (flu,bronchitis etc.) Add to that I 'm pregnant so I am probably just oversensitive at times. Or not? Just kidding. Anyway- thanks for all the love.

BTW- I love the mooning smilies and the barfing ones. The gymnastics one made me crack up!

This was the OP's response on post #75. I don't understand. If the OP isn't upset, why are others getting upset for her?
