The law of unintended consequences has surprised me once again.
Without thinking things through,
I have managed to alienate some people.

I wish I hadn't.

The next time I do that,
please let me know by PM.

Thank you,
Ptah

13. I didn't think you would have let something like this go by.
You would have let me know, like this:

18. Love the watermelon.




This thread grew from a PM I got.

It's the people that haven't posted in my threads for several months
that might have been hurt.

Edited on Mon Jan-22-07 09:13 PM by wildhorses
i am always cracking and sometimes i start threads and no responses:shrug:

i just figure...that hey its all good ya know try to be philosophical about it.:hug:

the board changes personalities through out the day and what could it hit one time might not at another.:silly:

also it is weird a thread i put a lot of thought into sinks like a stone:cry:

and a bullshit throw away thread takes off like a hot air balloon:bounce:

and thanks for posting the sad hug smilie-- i grabbed it this time--it is perfect for those times when a smile just seems inappropriate:hug:


you know i love you ---we hippies we are:hug:
