I have a gift for many of you...

Many people posting on here appear to need this. I have plenty, so I will share with anyone who needs it!

There. It's a big chunk of spaces and line breaks! You can use these to end paragraphs, begin new sentences and even change the thoughts you are trying to communicate!

But wait! There's more! Take advantage of this one time offer and I will throw in the complete set of standard English punctuation!

, . ? ! & ( ) : " ; '

And if you order in the next 5 minutes, I will show you how to disable the CAPS LOCK KEY!

All joking aside, I realize this is a web forum and it is meant to be more casual and laid back, but if you put just a little effort into making your posts easier to read, you will not only get more replies to your threads, you will most likely get better replies as well.

2 things to learn from this thread:

  • we are all a little bit hormonal with all the weight loss and changes happening in our bodies
  • resisting the temptation to feel outraged can be damn hard

Love your post, Folly. I feel the same way.

@@4MRB4PHOTO - Bravo! Witty use of Pastor Niemoller quote. But alas I doubt some people here will catch the reference. Or if they do, they will probably claim Godwin's Law!

Just want to say, I'm not butthurt by the OP and I accept the gift. Thank you.

I think the OP is rude.

LOL!

I think it is funny that since joining this forum I have been called an a_shole, a d**k, rude, and a few other names. And I have not once called anyone else a name. And what makes that even more humorous to me is that it is the people that try to appear the most supportive and compassionate to the more emotional members. However none have bothered me until this last one calling me rude.

At worst I could be called callous, but I would prefer dispassionate. The worse thing I have said was that people were getting self righteous. All that tells me is that if you aren't with those people, they will not abide you.

lol, edited to correct spelling!

I think Noah Webster was ruder.

I wonder if he had a sense of humour.

I don't think you are rude. :)

lol, thanks for that.

You're welcome.

I didn't take offense to what you originally posted, you offered some sound advice to people to help them create posts that will are easier to read and will potentially have more people read them due to how they are presented.

Some people may have interpreted this differently. That is the problem with reading a post vs. talking to someone and listening to their tone and watching their facial expressions.

That is why I used a "smiley face" emoticon to my previous response to you.

No one should be calling you names, there is another online forum that I no longer belong to. That is one of the reasons why I stopped posting there.

@@4MRB4PHOTO - I think I didn't make a good impression with some people on this forum from one of my earlier threads.

You might enjoy it for what it is and not what it was perceived to be.

I still love ya, Dolly!

Please, someone come to my husband's family Xmas and set him straight. My father-in-law's first language is redneck. Not only can he not spell, he spends the entire evening telling dirty and racist jokes to women relatives he hasn't seen in a year, from ages 13 to 70.

Sounds like grammar is least of your worries in this case. Gross.
