I haven't been around for a while, I caught some nasty bug and have been feeling rotten. The bog hasn't known what's hit it! And it's wondering if it's my new best friend cos I visit it so often! Eww! hehehe

But I need to come back and support the Paul McKenna thread as I still read him every day and take him to bed with me every night! yum! lol!

Biggest of big huggggggggs to you my lovely, take time to relax and destress . . . it's helped me. Talk to you soon sweetie,

Mel. xxx

And this remark is in response to what?? The whole thread or me sending a friend my love, BC and I have had some great fun on here, when she says she's not coming back I believe her.

It certainly wasn't a comment that "flatters the poster" nor "adds value" to the thread was it BB.

And that is an opinion you are free to express. That makes this a great place.

And just for the record BB, it is in response to the whole tiresome (IMO) threads saying goodbye...

Ok, then how about mentioning that along with the comment, because I initially took it as directed at me sending my love. When I sat back and looked again i thought no, it probably is in regards to the whole thread.

You got it right there Minks.

Well, I guess its a shame because I was not looking to be flattered in any way. But I appreciate the opinion, ladies.

It was 2 of us noticing the same thing, and maybe taking the comment as an un-necessary comment as it came off kind of kind of backhandedly. And yes an opinion and proof how things can be mis-interpreted. And I think a great example as to how things could turn out badly if it weren't ...I dunno discussed. No worries DG the comment could be taken a number of ways.

Moving on now.

Me too. And could you go to this thread:

http://www.forumgarden.com/forums/showt ... hp?t=17732

This guy is asking for a Mom's point of view and I thought of you (being the mother of a 15 year old and all)? You might have some worthy advice for this kid.

Kinda like the one I quoted in the very first reply in this thread?



Sorry gang, but I gotta go with Peg here. An inability to either work out a problem or simply ignore it and move on and continue interacting with the people you do get along with shows me something. I'm not about to go out of my way to beg someone to stay who can't find a happy medium. As someone said, BC is a 40-something woman, capable of making her own decisions.

If I left every time someone disagreed with me, I'd have been gone LONG ago.

Thank you.

Well, if the crowd here doesn't know by now that I say it how I see it, they never will! :yh_bigsmi

No offense to Butter, but this is another thread that needs to fade away.

You know, folks get tired of forums every day...and they stop posting every day. And people get p*ssed off at forums every day.

At first, I was a bit intimidated by this place, did not feel as if I belonged, and considered fading back into the woodwork. But I have hung it out and actually do not mind it here.

Do I agree with everything folks say here? NO! Do I let it get me angry? If it is an appropriate emotion, then yes. Am I going to leave because of it? Nope..You all are stuck with me..for a while anyway.

Yes, Marie, you are wise. We have to learn we are each unique individuals. Thank goodness we are, or this would be a boring place!

Somewhere, in another thread I read a comment about how we have become friends with people we may never have become friends with in real life. I agree. And it is not entirely due to our distance from each other.

It has alot to do with our personalities, interests, lifestyles. Here we are just our words...appearances, age, and the things I have just mentioned, do not always come into play.

Gee, Snooze, I am not usually called sensible. :p I hope I can live up to that reputation.

It's not that fun.



But Sexpot is a reputation you can have fun living up to! :yh_dance

Betty was with me (well, not when I actually bought them because she would have consficated my credit card). And okay, the "brown" one is beige and it doesn't have any fringes but I'm happy! Sadly, Arnold and Uncle let me down badly, and I won't forget it in a hurry.




Arnie & Unc let you down ? You want me to kick their royal British arses ? :p

Unbelievable !

Cute penguins, Nomie!!! Cute geese??, Snoozie. These pics are some kinda code, right?

Penguins.. evening attire.. Geese.. is goosing an american term?

Snoozie - I think Nomie's asking you out to dinner, and you're letting him know you intend to pinch his booty... ???

did this person leave ?:-2

I thought that was standard practice round these parts. I suggest we call it coshing, since there's no word for it at the moment.

If you want to know about a person, check their profile. Check out the threads they post in, especially the kind of stuff they feel important enough to start a thread on. Of course, to know the real person, read several from different times, not just a couple from the same time frame.

She is not here as much, jimbo. But she was here posting, I think, yesterday.

She would like to just come in and be pleasant I suppose. Nice to see you Scot girl.

Really pleased to see you back Buttercup, welcome back:-4

BCup

It's wonderful to see you back in the Garden :-4

SnoozeControl wrote: Spot? If you have a problem with me, I wish you'd take it to PMs.I dislike the witch-hunts of the past on FG, some of which you fed at the time with an awful lot of thread-bumps, remember? I don't take that history as an indication that I have a problem with you. In this instance, and of all threads by the OP to choose to bump, you don't find the choice of this one at least provocative? As information in a PM to Lulu in response to a query it would have been fine. As a bumped thread it's just an unsubtle message to the OP on her return. Come on, Snooze, it's a well-worn technique, playing dumb this time round isn't very convincing.

gone 4 months & see not much has changed lulu joined in april & i believe i was in a few threads she was before my departure in july so im a bit confused as to how she has no idea who i am :-2

however i dont really see much point to this thread continuing unless its for the sake of arguments, shall we just leave it then ?

Yep..lets leave it....



Bye bye thread and HELLO BUTTERCUP....you've been sorely missed

Pinky wrote: Ok, can we avoid starting another bitchfight on FG? Trust me, i've been very restrained in my views tonight, and still managed to pee someone off. I don't really want to go there. It's not been a happy day so far and I don't really want grief on here as I think my head might explode.


**Roll up! Roll up! Get your tickets here!

Exploding head showing exclusively here tonight!

Any bits of head remaining will be sold as souvenirs!

Roll up! Roll up! Get your tickets here!**

And Welcome home Butters! Its GREAT to see you back here with us again! :-6

Why all the fuss

...i don't recall that many people making this much noise when it was first posted

I'm honestly not pushing this but people keep asking supplementary questions. I'd much rather see the thread fall off "Today's Posts" again.
