Hold up hold up hold up!!!

I live here in America. Here is America we have this little thing called FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

Okay, now with that in mind we also have freedom in choice.

And with THAT in mind, why is it that this forum is so over moderated with threats of locking threads and deleting posts and everything? I agree I haven't been in the "mix" of things lately but I do have the right to speak my mind and I do choose whether or not to participate in those particular posts. I think that everyone in the questioned threads had a right to speak, whether they agreed or disagreed. I think that when you post a thread, you are opening it up to everyone. I think that when you have a thread, it is no longer "yours" but the becomes a part of the overall dynamic of the group. I do agree that some comments were nasty and uncalled for, but I also believe that everyone has a right to speak. Just because one person gets offended, then DON'T read that post (see freedom of choice above).

I think that nilly willy locking a thread because you have been queened or kinged as a moderator is ridiculous. I think a thread should only be locked if it is blatant advertising crap. Otherwise, let it ride. By not dealing with the problems and comments that doesn't SOLVE the issue, it lets it fester on other threads. Let people talk it out back and forth. Is it bickering? Sure it is, but we are a majority of women in this group, so isn't it a bit expected? Women have to hash it out to be done with it.

I think it is all getting taken too seriously.

Let people speak!!! (see above freedom of speech) Good bad and ugly.

There, I have said my 2 cents. Now feel free to come to THIS thread and say what you will because this is MY thread I have donated to THIS group, which makes it OURS.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

NOW THATS JUST WRONG, wrong i say.

bad-BAD-princess

Damn you princess girl! Try this one next time....slip a piece of chocolate INSIDE the marshmallow before roasting it and skip the graham if you want -- we call it marshmallow surprise......OR for all you resses addicts out there....use PB on the graham cracker too OMG!!!!! OK, sorry, but someone else started this cyber feeding frenzy!

Oh wonderful, now we're posting food porn :faint:

ROFLMFAO !!!!! :hungry:

Oh wonderful, now we're posting food porn :faint:

If that's food porn does that mean the appropriate way to describe what I'm feeling is...horny?

I'm glad to see this thread went way off track, so I'm gonna share another secret. Someone made these at work one day (we used to have an oven) and I thought it was a stupid idea, but the place went nuts over them. It's the easiest thing in the world, and all you have to do is cut Jet Puffs in half or quarters with scissors. Lay Ritz crackers on a cookie sheet and top with the piece of Jet Puff and bake till the Puff is golden brown. OMG, these buttery Ritz Snacks are so damn good!

Then you need a cold snack to eat tweeners, so frost up a bunch of Graham Crackers and pop them in the freezer (butter frosting is way too good.) Break the pieces so you have little frozen Cookies to go with your Ritz Puffs.

Then come to LBT for support regarding our obesity and food issues!

Do NOT throw your shoe at me!

I'm absolutely going to hurl. Am I the only person who hates marshmallows?

I'm a little weirded out by the 'mallow/ritz combo -- are you sure that's good?!?!? ............. Give it to Mikey -- he hates everything...................He likes it! He likes it!

Sorry, just slipped back to 1976 for a minute there -- all this talk of marshmallows and ritz crackers puts me in mind of "mock apple pie" and chicken a la king...........time warp!

Alexandra, you are clearly not human! Or at least not American! Who on Earth can resist a perfectly browned (not burned) marshmallow? And I thought the baked Ritz was gross, too, but you just gotta try it.

I'm sorry for the hijack but Jenna started it!

Okay, now I just can't resist making all of you smile on this thread!!! See how it all started so seriously, some got their words out, we hashed a lot out, and now we are hugging over marshmallows? I love communication. Especially when food is involved.

just funny........

I laughed for several minutes at the "food porn" NJ! hee hee hee...just smiled again! For the record...Marshmallow flavored syrup from the coffee shop=wasted calories. Marshmallow fluff spreadable from the jar....FABULOUS!

Time to lay off the food porn.

Jon

Well, I couldn't resist..... So for the guys in the group... the best of both worlds??? And for us women, we KNOW damn well she ain't gonna eat that!! And if she does she will most likely make a trip to the bathroom.

Well I suppose if I am going to go that far to exhibit food porn, then I will go all the way..... we can call this "spice porn" let's see if I can offend anyone and start up the freedom of speech again.
