D-I-S-R-E-S-P-E-C-T Find out what it means to me

I noticed quite a few replies to many different posts being a little disrespectful lately.

Having a differing opinion is one thing, flaming or cursing someone out because they don't agree with you is another.

We are adults here and don't need to be "touchy-feely" and "PC" all the time, but respectfully disagreeing with someone (even in a "tough-love" way) is a better approach.

There were times that someone really needed a response that would have even the filthiest mouthed person want to wash my mouth out with internet soap (probably "Lava" soap, since it has pumice in it), but I resisted. Not because they got over on me, but I decided not to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

Granted, some people post as trolls and bait people, they are so good at it they are "master-baiters", but sometimes a non-aggressive response to them is better. They won't get the rise out of you and hopefully they will slither away back to underneath the bridge where they came from never to be heard from again.

No animals were hurt in the making of this post.

  • Fun fact: Respect by Aretha Franklin was the #1 song on the day I was born. Yes, I'm old.

  • (stands up and clears throat) It was my fault. She said she wasn't fat because of what she ate, she was fat because of genetics, so I told her to call her surgeon and cancel the surgery because it

  • Oh wow, I like that... my song is I Can See Clearly Now - Johnny Nash Totally agree with the initial posting. I am shocked (but sadly, not surprised) when someone is so nasty and abusive to any on

Le freak by chic???????????? yes I agree with the rudeness,but I don't see it as much here. I recently left a Facebook group, after being attacked over some parsnips Chips I wanted to serve at my daughters birthday party in order to feel like everyone else dipping my chips in some salsa, I was ripped a new one over parsnips.. Who would've thought? BTW 2gm carbs 1sugar and 3gm of protein,& they tasted great!! I was so upset I erased the pic I took of them, what a shame.

Did you make them? Buy them? I want some!

I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

Ooooo that's a good one! Although I still like Dolly's version better ;)

Dolly can do no wrong.

Dolly wrote it, so her version had so much more depth and feeling in it than anyone else could. Whitney's version was great for her vocal abilities, but she didn't have the heartbreak and sadness that Dolly put into it. She's still a pistol, too. ;)

Hooray! I thought I was the only one who preferred Dolly's version. Yes...Whitney's vocals are amazing but the heartache comes through in Dolly's version in a way that Whitney's doesn't. I can cry just thinking about this song...much less hearing it.

Seriously? Whitney Houston sung that song like it was made for her. Still gets chills whenever I listen to it. ????

That song rocks - it is in my exercise playlist. :D

And f those people. You are better off without them and were too good for them anyway. :)

(and yes, please post the recipe)

Yes, seriously. What? We're not allowed to have an opinion and preference?

Don't make me go all crazypants up in here and start spouting off curse words... I know like 5 of them and you'll be amazed and horrified at the spectacle.* :P

I'm a big dog and y'all are just chinchillas... or chinchbugs? or was it Chippewas? No, chihuahuas, right? I am trying to sound like that pottymouth twit that got booted (and is the reason this thread was started). Is it working? I'm not very good at this...

*Kidding, don't get mad at me or anything. :)

thank you!!! You rock my friend!! I'm going to look for the pics on my iCloud!!

@@FrankiesGirl

I ❤ you so......

Aww. Back at ya! (can I call you baby girl? :D )

ETA for those playing along at home: the twit also called Babbs "baby girl" while insulting her. So it is funny because of reasons.

Edited by FrankiesGirl

Dolly wrote it. Dolly sings it better. End of discussion.

Just kidding. I agree, Whitney's version is goose bump worthy. But MAN they overplayed that song when she passed!

But really, Dolly rules. She's my personal hero, and I love her.

I really hope not in the same obsessed way as David Koechner's character "Scout Leader Rogers" in the movie "Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse".

No, you're not very good at this. How can I think you're a wretched indivdual if you have me laughing so hard? Your cuteness overpowers your powers of vituperation. Back to the drawing board with you.
