Saw two respected people get a little touchy here. The other place got full of that and went bad for multiple reasons. But it all started with someone typing something that someone else didn't like. Want to give a reminder not to be so serious or get hurt too easy, because it might not be what the poster was trying to say and maybe it was misinterpreted in the translation. I am not referring to the Islanders jiberish either. I mean something can be read more than one way. And something can be posted back only looking at it one way, then a tone is set. That tone will then continue to grow or fester. This can happen at home, work or with friends, but happens on boards a lot. People feel insulted by someone disagreeing with them. Since it was written it has to be "stuck to" and opinions cant be changed. Bullshit. I will say it again. Its Bullshit. We are not published writers in a book. We are people hiding in basements with cat pictures on the wall and nobody cares what we wrote a few days later. Nobody but the people we insult in here. Then the festering starts Pay attension everyone on the little bus...this is the main point and reason.... Emails, notes and threads on boards are the cause of reactions because they only contain the verbal part of communications. When speaking to someone in person, 75 percent of the meaning can be found in non-verbal parts including gestures, tone, volume, eye contact and body positioning. 75 percent is missing in here I find that reading something that gets my temperature up I should not post for at least an hour. Sometimes half a day, other times no response at all. Or I try to picture the person yelling it with arms crossed and then picture it with someone like Nancy saying it with a warm heart. Can it be read differently? Probably. SO if I am not sure, no comment or I make a joke on it, to lighten the load. We are a team, so act like it and give the other person a chance to be mistaken without pointing it out. Or you, yourself, might be mistaken as to the real meaning. So don't lash out. Enjoy the conversation and the different points of view. Except for cat avatars- they are the only exception to this rule and the board should take every opportunity to point out the flaw. I am bakon and not to be taken serious, ever. I typed this slow, so everyone would read it slow and get the meaning right the first time. But read it twice, to practice reading the emotional/argumentive post twice and find another meaning.

I was like Babs. Same amount and same enjoyment in the end. When I relapsed in my younger years from 1 and 2 year quits it was always the same way. Never liked the first one and had to suffer through learning to like it again. I currently hate the smell and have since day1 of my quit. Thank God for that. MQ and Sgt- your both ok in this conversation but put up your shields rather quickly, no offensive tactics were displayed but quick defensive reactions. Lower your shields, same side here.

keep marching

thumbs up

good you made it to 5. Should begin to lighten up. SOme. Not a huge amount, but twice as easy as day 2. your doing great and its hard work but your kickin ass Shoes are good idea, but don't wait for big purchase. You should be getting something small every day first two weeks. Something equal to the cost of what you smoked each day. Examples for one pack a day that might work for you 1. Brush 2. Comb 3 Hair color 4. Hair band 5. Hat 6 Mirror

keep marching. got to be easy now.

be careful- full blooded killers always have one green eye when in a photo. and you pissed it off...

AVA- like what you said, not sure what it meant.. Nancy- quit scaring the peeps (eggs hatched on Easter only) Ginger- we all know, that's for the private photo message frez- dogs rule but boobs are better Tracey- show her how its done Jackie- bakon can go back to pig, but never gives warts Scoobydoo- whats a cheeky pup LB- your not off hook yet either Action- bald is beautiful on men then way the strip on the lip?

-12 Julie skipped number so I am too.,

Glad to see kids get more education on it than the stupid, washed up jock, gym teacher we had trying to teach "Health Class"

George you should love cops for taking her off your hands

NO CAT PICTURE ALLOWED

maybe someone move this to off record so Ginger will post. Limited viewing there plus Tracey is going to prove no dangler and Rocketman thinks he can prove he got one. Sgt in air trying to get it to dangle and armedinperu is out in garage looking at his.

Jackie- same name as mrs and she rides broom to work. ldybuggg- well how about a pic of that honker aine/ like annie? or sound different ava - give ginger some selfie directions leah- pretty good for now jimmy- arm tired yet?

I know she is doing a selfie right now with her phone and looking at computer like "should I?"

medic?

Did you bring your jiberish translation book or can you still speak nonsense?

Took to long. Popular opinion now requires proof you are not ginger. Photos accepted as only defense at this point. Nancy and Tracey said so and babs agrees. George don't say anything....this could work unless you blow it

I will go read news. Even then I will still be behind. Village idiot.
