You know what would be really fun?

So to my detriment, I am a lazy forum poster. I rarely look at who I am replying to even after I hit submit. I generally don't pay attention to it, in fact, until I get a hot reply. Weird, I know, but I tend to reply to the COMMENT not to the USER.

How great would it be if we had a week of blind posting? People couldn't use their "tells", so I'd have to be conscious of my this/that/theother/etc habit, @@KindaFamiliar couldn't be a creeper, @@Dub couldn't post food porn...

It would be interesting to see how this would effect the rate of reporting, finger pointing, offended peeps, name calling, and on a positive side, which bonds could actually be made when the names started appearing again.

I know, it's just a day dream, but it would be super interesting.

    I'm like you, I respond to the comment and not the user. Unless it's @@KindaFamiliar because it's impossible not to know it's him.

    I can think of MUCH more fun things, but I wouldn't want our more "delicate" forum members to start twitching.

I am sitting in bed too, with my coffee, My Mac, iPad and Android phone. It is morning here now.

I watched Gigolos last night, and had few laughs .....

I have a King Size bed, all comfy and cozy :)

Bed party sounds good :D :D :D

@

Ooh, king size bed par...

Wait...

Just what am I signing on for here... :huh:

Morning guys. In SUPERKING bed, surrounded by menagerie (including husband in that) and need another cuppa. Hang on..... just going to make it...............that's better-full mug. Does watching BBC breakfast news count as 'educational' cos that's on the box at the moment.

Good evening jinty :)

SUPERKING bed ??? You had to better, didn't you? :D

Enjoy your cuppa, I'm having dinner soon .....

News could be educational .... not the variety I prefer though ...

Watching Gigolos made me laugh .... I like streaming movies and videos

Have a great day!

Weird, I know, but I tend to reply to the COMMENT not to the USER.

I don't know if it is odd or not, but I do the exact opposite. If I find the user to be a total tool, Soup sandwich, drama queen, or mouth breather; I don't bother with a reply. If I have any experience or applicable knowledge AND I deem the person worthy of any effort on my part, only then will I bother with a reply.

This is what I need to do from here out. I need to make a list. My memory sucks. :D

Hey VIPs, I'm less than 2 weeks from WLS and I say please please PLEASE don't treat me like a delicate flower if I post something dumb. These past 6 months on here have been amazingly helpful and entertaining. Just one favor, don't be too mean right now. I'm on day 3 of my pre op diet and I'm pretty sure I'm capable of murder. Lol

@@BigViffer "soup sandwich" ???

@@LipstickLady I dunno, with so many people using mobile devices they can't really tell much about the person anyway (no tickers, signatures, etc).... I assume people call me names based on my content and not on my "stats" or screen name. :)

@@BigViffer "soup sandwich" ???

It's a very old saying. Only a fool would try making a sandwich out of soup since the bread would get soggy and the soup would run everywhere. Soup Sandwich = crazy person, fool, idiot, ignoramus, etc...

You're right. I do. ;)

Thanks for the belly laugh. :)

Please don't kill me, I finally found an awesome life and I know you will too!

Seriously. If you get offended if someone comments on your post, get off the internet. I welcome anyone that has anything to say. If it is negative that is their problem ("'opinion") not mine. I have friends that are for both political parties running for president and I learned early on to keep my comments to myself. Especially if I still wanted them as friends.
