  1. *laughs* I've been looking for a picture of those old clacker balls. They were two hard resin balls, each suspended on string which hung from a ring that you put your finger thru, then you just lifted up on the ring and got them clacking.. then when you were brave enough (or stupid enough) you got them going so hard they clacked together above your hand and then down below your hand. Anyone remember these?

    So, for those who didnt see this on the other thread. This joke started when a certain someone and I were laughing about what our boobs look like when we lean over the sink (nekkid) to brush our teeth. My friend then said that she pulled hers apart and let them go and they just kept "clacking" together! LOL


  2. Noone wants to listen. Noone really cares.

    Everyone just wants to prove themselves right.

    Everyone wants the last word. This thread isn't

    about the good of the board. Its about being right.

    Being better. Being the bigger person. Face it.

    We all suck.


  3. Lighten up everyone. Please? Pretty please??

    Thread killers started as one thing then got diverted into "lets see how long we can keep this going". The same thing happened to it that happened to the others. A potentially hurtful thread got turned into a fun time and the subject changed to a non hurtful, non sensical thread. Which was everyone's hope when they posted on other threads in the same spirit.

    Everyone was just trying to get the mood to lighten up. No one was out to fight or make people angry, or insult, or belittle, or be in appropriate. Please? Can we all let it go now? My god. Hasnt this day been filled with enough poison? Let's start spreading some antivenom?


  4. Ok, come on you all. Geesh. This stuff over the past week has everyone on edge and extra sensative. This thread isnt doing anyone any good.

    Can we stop now. Please can we just stop? It's getting down right sickening. And if you'll all stop and take a step back and look around, the ones who stirred all of us up arent even in this thread. They are sitting back laughing.

    Stop. Please. Stop.

    As for my PB joke - I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I was not meaning to make fun of anyone. It was a joke in bad taste and I feel like crap for not seeing that before I posted. Tension has been so high, emotions running amock. Please, accept my apology and lets stop now.

    Please.


  5. Welcome to Bandland Candy!

    Take it easy and give yourself plenty of time to rest.

    Keep hydrated by taking lots and lots of sips of Water.

    If youre allowed, have a bit of a Protein shake (not soy it will make you gassy).

    The residual gas from the surgery might be rumbling in your tummy, walking will help eliminate that.

    Glad youre feeling well. Keep us posted on your progress!


  6. PS.. The mood of this thread was getting so hateful and depressing that it was time to try and lighten that mood with a few laughs. I do not see that as being boorish, imbacilic, or childish. It was painful to watch and some people respond to pain with laughter.

    It really is time to let things die down. I agree. The new folks are upset by all of this. Lets go spend time with them rather than focusing on one or two folks who are trying to deal with personal issues in public.

    *hugs to all*


  7. Woah Drew, I wasn't making fun of newbies. I was making fun of the Thread Killer Thread. Most of the people on there said that hearing the question, "What is a PB" is a thread killer for THEM. It was a joke about killing this thread.

    If you'll have a peek at that thread, you will see that I myself asked people to stop making fun of people who arrive with sincere ignorance of what the band is all about. They are frightened when they encounter situations that noone prepared them for. I completely agree with you on that, and have never humiliated a new person for any question they may have.


  8. Telly, if I looked like you after losing the weight you've lost, I'd be taking pictures every day too! Snap away, darlin', and keep sharing!

    Check out the reflection in the mirror. Nice tush girlfriend!!


  9. Hi LaMadam :D

    "Consider the source" simply meant that when people are clearly upset and bringing personal fights and vendettas to the board, it IS important to consider the source of the motivation behind the post.

    (I edited this post to remove any reference to people in particular. I'm trying very hard to be careful about expression my views and opinions in a respectful way. I guess I also need to work on writing a post, walking away for a few minutes, then coming back to read it again before posting it. My apologies to anyone who responded before I could edit this note down to what I feel is a fair response to LaMadam's question to me.)
