April 11, 201412 yr I have never had any stars. :( J/k, I don't care, I didn't know what they were. I like the likes because as you may have noticed, I'm not a big poster so I do my like drive bys. Although, I did hate running out. I'm good either way. Um....Ava, you are crackin' me up! Soul, I totally see where you are coming from. There, see, I'm a libra, I can't make a decision. ;) Oh, and Sarge, I love Tommy Lee Jones. I suppose I love that one character he plays!! :D I'm a Libra too!!! :)
April 12, 201412 yr I am just having a glass of wine and reading some of those threads is just too funny....."I can't see the stars, must be the wine"....."wine where". People want to quit smoking just to be a part of this gang...we are fun to be around!
April 12, 201412 yr Where the hell are the stars??? I am so confused!!! Must be the wine! They are already gone from here, Scottie! No more stars.
April 12, 201412 yr They are already gone from here, Scottie! No more stars. Damn we were supposed to keep him confused.
April 12, 201412 yr I don't think this post is pertinent to the "public"..........I have attempted to post several times on the topic below but seem to shy away from it..........so perhaps in this more private venue and hopefully within a constructive discussion group, I post my opinion on............the "like" and the "stars"..............I dislike the "like" feature...........I believe it is a feature that leads to ego bruising and/or ego inflation. We are not competing, we are not in this "pay it forward" to get a pat on the back or a hip hip hurray for our actions...............I dislike the "stars" feature...............My opinion is the same as for the "like" feature..........Helping others, being vulnerable, being generous and being selfless is about NOT getting a count of our action, .............it's not about knowing how many people like what we say or what we don't say.............Today's media and social media seem to program us to depend on visual feedback.....number of hits, numbers of "likes"....number of "stars"...............I can understand such feature if a business depends on such numbers but not here...not in the realm of selflessness and Paying it Forward.I have seen people get hurt because of those "features".....................there will be more..........I have seen people inflate their ego to the point that they wouldn't fit through the door .............I have seen people deflated to the point that they vanish..........One of the most powerful things to accomplish in life is to do something for somebody and never let that person know that you did it...............selflessness.............ok.............thanks for reading..................... I know I just "liked" your post but I agree with this 100 % !!!!! We are all a team here. There's nothing to like. Each one of us brings something different and special to the board. And that's done with love.
April 13, 201412 yr I do not own a cell fone. I do not facebook or engage in typical "social networking" activity. I'm no several discussion boards and have a reasonable command of the English language for a guy who grows turnips and milks goats. I have never pushed a "like" button. Honest question here - has that offended anyone? I suppose now and then someone may wonder why they "like" posts of mine and I never "like" theirs. At worst they might think I'm just a snob if they didn't know my non-"like" quirk. I get friend requests now and then. I do accept them because failing to do so would be violating Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior. Something friendly asked for should always be acknowledged and heeded if there is no reason not to. If you need to have a lot of "likes" to keep from slitting your wrists, seek help, bwahahaha. They are useful to help gauge a post's weight at a casual glance. I'll re-think my position on using the button here simply because "likes" are quick easy feel goods and this is a place where often that's exactly what we need. A couple of M&Ms now and then to step over a crave shouldn't be discounted. You just know somebody's gonna "like" this :D
April 13, 201412 yr I have become addicted to Bloody Mary's...... I just love them. I wonder if there is a support board for that too.
April 13, 201412 yr ^OMG....Im roaring with laughter over here now Comrade. And honored...truly honored to be the first :p
April 13, 201412 yr I have become addicted to Bloody Mary's...... I just love them. I wonder if there is a support board for that too. LMAO......Oh yes Tiff...there is indeed a support board for that too. In fact,,,,,,,there are entire rooms of actual people sitting in church basements for that very reason :p
April 13, 201412 yr LMAO......Oh yes Tiff...there is indeed a support board for that too. In fact,,,,,,,there are entire rooms of actual people sitting in church basements for that very reason :P People sit in basements drinking Bloody Mary's ? Wow, ok, I don't love them that much. I would rather drink them in public. I don't even know what to say to that. I didn't think they were THAT addictive.
April 13, 201412 yr Yeah, sometimes basements. But normally by the time it gets to that point ya sorta forget about the tomato juice and celery.
