And mean. I WOULD say I can't believe they posted that ... but lately I'll believe just about anything.

(Um, that wasn't against you. :hug:)

7. I think we should be happy though
for the people in that thread that finally found someone to agree with in GD. A new clique born in GD....*sniff*....it's so heartwarming to see people find each other at last.

;)

10. That is how it goes some days.
The last thing I posted was relatively benign but because I used the word godspeed I was hit from behind. Many people are only here to find fault. They are severe in their thinking and have little joy outside of criticizing and taking offense and being offensive to others.

Such is the way of the small minded, they haven't figured out yet that if you want to truly change the world you must reinforce the positive actions of others, not criticize their perceived shortcomings.

Happy Birthday again, KW!!!

I'm not remotely religious, but I wouldn't take offense at that. :shrug:

15. Yes I had to get the definition and post it so they understood it
wasn't about religion. Some people are just easily provoked, godspeed was what did it that day.

22. Not everyone will think it's a good idea.
Some would even call it dumb. But many would gladly send you chocolate covered cherries. Count me in the "many" group.
