many times I want to know an opposing view, it allows me to either cement my view, and the reasons for it or change it. Other times I sit back scratch my head and wonder just what warped universe someone lives in. a couple of posts, very likely not ones that are causing much debate, worry me about a couple of people.BT -- Don't. Just ... don't. Nothing there but pain and misery.I'm guessing that's the planned parenthood thread. I've resisted clicking so far.I need something that will give me an electric shock if I so much as think about peeking in certain threads again. I'm usually so good about this. Sigh.Yes. Argh. When I start feeling like Jesszilla instead of Jess, it's time to bow out of a thread.
::sigh::
Just put down the computer and back slowly away.
I felt I had a nice exchange with Sebastian. I'm done with that thread (and similar) now. Nothing to see there but ... wow ... just, wow.
It's a decisive topic. Once that fact has been well and truly accepted, it becomes a lot easier to read.
Good God, what a typo! I meant to say DIVISIVE. although in another light, my typo is more insightful /realistic.
On the Internet, as in many other
places in life, we must be the change we wish to see.

But if I kill myself how will that help. ;)
I've made my saves so far, and I've been posting some Operation Gun Runner links in Government folly.Oh, yeah, that is a cluster. >.<
Naked cluster ____ for ToP is classic!
Some days it does not do well to read some messageboard posts on the internet. :(
Some people just make me sad. Why can't they get their twisted jollies some place else?
Quick! Take more of those drugs that enable your sense of humor at 100% testosterone fury.I can't believe my pain has returned.
:-(
Believe me. I am. But I'm not sure I can even keep sitting up to use the computer.

lol. Thank you. This restored my sense of humor. All is now much better. :)
I'm glad that it's my friday!
How goes the moving research?
We finally broke down and got a new mattress and box spring set from Denver mattress.

I'm still making my save.....so far.

I might have shared a little more than was warranted...that's horrible to read. It hurts whenever I hear stories like that. All I can offer is sympathy and the observation that you're building the family you should have had yourself as a child. That's the best answer to such a childhood.
It's what I hope to do. I noticed you removed your last post from that clusterf%&@, it was pretty spot on.
I think I should just try to ignore that whole thread...
And thanks Jess, being a father is my chance to sort of rectify my past.

That can be a real challenge, and I give you a lot of credit, LPM. I speak from some level of personal experience, but nothing I really want to post about...

Yeah, I failed my will save, but had time to rethink my post and decided it smartest to withdraw it. It served no purpose except to express my anger. Much as I feel that anger is reasonable, it's not worth poisoning the boards further.
Besides, giving into my temper makes me feel less superior. :p
I had relatives on both sides of the family with similar stories. One, when my parents found out, they put a stop to it. The other only started after my mom was no longer a part of their lives, and when she found out when the child became an adult, she was wracked with guilt that she wasn't there to help. Both of the sets of children did what you are doing - built lives that wouldn't pass on that horrible legacy.
It's inspiring to see. I salute you, sir.

Did you give it a test run yet?
I think I've posted enough for right now. Arden is looking at me funny, probably wondering why I'm crying.
Don't take this the wrong way, bro. But you and CJ are the two of our band that are served best in complete avoidance of said threads. :/

It's ok for me though... ;-)
I've really had to fight to not respond in snark. And just when you thought it couldn't get any lower...

I wish! Diane is home schooling her youngest granddaughter at the moment. Humbug!

The asshats on the boards don't bother me much. It's the rehashing of the past.
As Urizen said on FB:
this is a great day.

I may resemble that remark.
Of course my view point on both the OP and on the current rant is that it is not just a one sided issue and anyone trying to make it so is clearly missing the point.
Just not worth the effort to post it in said thread.
Wow, sorry to see everybody down this morning...
I will rummage around and see if I can find something to cheer you up.
Woohoo - Sugar Gliders

this is as it should be. Noone can make you feel inferior on the Internet without your consent, but a person's past is something they must deal with every day of their life, for they are always creating it. I am glad that you are keeping the pen of your autobiography firmly in hand, and are writing chapters that you can be proud of.
Greetings all. I'm fairly new to the Paizo boards and I recently got pointed to this thread.
Now let's see if I've got this right. This thread is a place of wackiness, weirdness and sometime awesomeness. A place where smart, sexy women and intelligent men hang out.
FAWTL is where you post until the thread gets so long that the boards break right? Then you move on to do it again?
Did I get everything right or did I miss anything?
Oh, and there's the zombie that loves soap operas (or is it writes them?).

What?!? Now Yahtzee is forbidden? Next you'll say no Settlers of Catan. Just because a game has devolved into fisticuffs doesn't mean it's divisive!
...
Pepsi or Coke or Dr. Pepper?
Don't make me flag you!
and...
Dr. Pepper!
I like Mr. Pibb a lot too. You know, it's really almost the same thing as Dr. Pepper...

Add Diplomacy to the list - it will kill a friendship stone dead - especially when you show your ally one set of orders and hand in a different set of orders. I almost won with Italy but everybody decided I was being a douche and smashed me :-( .
