Sorry man but this is an adults only weekend.

Our last farewell to our mistresses. Since that shouldn't take more than about 5 minutes tops, I figure that gives us the rest of the weekend for the types of fun and games we are all so good at(good at getting caught at). As long as we wait until the last day the girls will just think we are giving them a special weekend.

And just think it is our loving wives making it all possible. Dayummmm we must be so good in bed . Why else would they love us this much.

Newhere

I am sorry you have had such a rough time here.

The last 24 has been an eye opening and learning experience for me.

The truly nice people here are wonderful and I believe they are sincere when they say they want this forum to grow and that they are capable of embracing the whole diversity element that enters in as these forums do grow.

There are also members here that can only pretend to be kind and tolerant. Who they really are lies just under the surface. As long as you agree with everything they agree with you will be just fine. but if you dare to disagree then watch out because not only will you hear it in the thread where it began You can count on the wagons being drawn into a circle and the barbs and snide comments will show up in many threads.

But they really are easy to spot. All it takes is a day like today for the true colors to come out.

How is it that you turn a request to label a graphic iintensive post with some small notation so that those of us who have good reasons why we would like to be able to avoid those types of threads are in any way trying to stifle you or anyone else.

We dont want to stop those threads
We are not objecting to to your creative expression
we are not claiming to be offended by the content
we are not saying that our likes and dislikes are more important than yours
we are not complaining about threads like this one where there is an occasional picture posted


All that is being asked is that if a new thread is started and the thread is posted with a graphic meme to it , could you please just add something in the title that lets those of us who do not wish to take part in those threads have a way of identifying them.

I dont see why this has become such an outrageous request to so many. I dont understand why we all cannot work together and arrive at a solution that we all agree on

this is the 6th time she has been admitted to the hospital in the last 2 1\2 months. Each time with a diagnosis of pneumonia. She would receive treatment for 3-7 days then released. here is your meds be sure to do your breathing treatments. good luck Bye bye.

each subsequent admission followed closer to the previous release. This time her heart was the issue as well, and she was put into a medical induced coma until they got her blood pressure to come down. They also decided to culture her blood and see if that gave them any answers. No big surprise to me at least that the culture came back positive MRSA . Gee I wonder how she got that couldnt possibly have been during one of her previous stays ?


So now she is faced with trying to beat MRSA instead of just trying to get over pneumonia which at 88 would be difficult in itself. I know that being angry is not going to help her but I cant help but think that if she had been treated more aggressively in the beginning and not sent home to basically treat herself or if my family had been paying closer attention myself included she would be out on the golf course like she was 6 mos ago not fighting for her life against an infection that she has little chance of beating.

Sorry about the hijack here but you asked and my anger right now is difficult to control. hopefully this little rant will help me maintain my composure while talking to her cardio when he gets here.

If you want to post pictures go right ahead and post to your hearts content. To those who don't like them, I say move to a thread that you enjoy, to those who have a slow connection, get a faster one. I would wonder why anyone would be so immersed in these forums that they need to check in on their phone, especially a newbie. I think that there is an all out attack on anything Christian. It starts with a newbie being "offended" because someone says God bless you or I'll pray for you or post a picture of an angel. They don't like it and so they ask that they be removed, always quoting the religion rule, but rarely following the other rules. Anti religion is (IMO) also a religion.

Since I am the only one that I know of who has stated that I read and post from my phone I assumed this was directed at me. Perhaps you had forgotten what you posted. And if you could please show me any post I have made where I am attempting to stifle anyone's point of view regarding religion I would love to see it

Oh boy

I sure am glad I never was trying to win a popularity contest when chose to stand up in defense of a new members privilege to decide for themselves which thread they want their first post to be in or whether they deserve to be treated with respect if they hold an opinion not held by the *regular* members here.

Last time I checked i did NOT see any rules in the TOS that said that a new member must first post an introduction or that their opinion must be the same as the general opinion held by the active members of this forum.

To suggest that this is the proper way to join this group is laughable and to use such an idea to condone rude and disrespectful behavior is appalling

But hey since I am the only one willing to step up and challenge what was said to newhere last night I see little hope that this place will ever be the the fun and friendly environment you all claim to want.


I too am hoping the mods will offer their take on all of this soon.

This will be my final post to you as it is obvious that your next move will be to accuse me of causing trouble by continuing to answer your accusations. You find me insulting...I find you accusatory. I am sorry they we here are not courteous because we post larger pictures.
If you feel that all newcomers need to be acknowledged you missed a few. Now I'm done other than to say perhaps you should practice what you preach.

I am totally confused here. I don't remember saying anything about you being insulting. I said that I felt your post to newhere was rude and unnecessary.

I have not "accused " you of being anything other than rude to him.

Maybe if I could understand your sentences as you have written them I wouldnt be confused and we could clear this up.

If you felt personally insulted by my Psssttt post i am sorry you would feel that way. I was not "chastising" anyone. I was attempting to make up to 2 posters that I believe are well seasoned forum users whose initial posts here at GH were completely ignored by all of us, myself included because we or as I should only speak for myself I was too involved in the conversation and it wasn't until days later that I realized they had been ignored. i was merely attempting to make a show of the welcome so that they themselves would notice it.

about my trying to connect you with being the forums attacker. I think you need to reread my post because That thought never crossed my mind. I have never thought you and he were the same person. Thats just silly.

As for being suspicious of newhere, Well I am of the opinion that you have every right to be suspicious ....but until newhere gives us a reason other than disagreeing with the popular opinion he should be treated with respect. He did absolutely nothing to deserve to be spoken to the way you spoke to him. Nothing! It is not up to you to decide what a new member can or can not post an opinion on. He stated a valid reason as to why the picture thread was relevant to him. he doesn't need anyone's permission to post a dissenting opinion. Not yours mine or anyone's.

Finally, yes I posted to the thread about hidden talent. Not sure whether you noticed or not but the pictures I posted were small file thumbnails that were hotlinks to my imageshack acct where the pictures could be viewed full size by anyone interested in doing so. Thumbnail hotlinks use very little bandwidth and are considered to be a courteous way to post graphics.

If you have more to say to me I ask that you do it in email.

I resent being accused of attacking anyone, especially by oblique opinion. I was also offering my opinion to the current situation. Iinspect the posts yours have by far been more critical and abusive than anything I have posted. I have also flagged your posts. I will leave the decision to the Mods.

jj

if this is directed at me then I would appreciate you showing me where I have ever been abusive or critical of anyone.

I am sorry if you felt justified in your posts directed at newhere. I disagree and felt that they were rude and insinuating and that there was no evidence that newhere deserved to be treated that way.

I am not trying to attack you You are entitled to behave in any way that you wish. As am I and that is why I chose to extend a welcome and an explanation to newhere

Newhere

Welcome to the forums.

I am sure that if you have been going through the threads here that you must have noticed that this forum has been under attack lately.

And while I don't believe that ANY new poster should be treated in a rude way I do ask that before you think that this is not a friendly place that you would consider all that the members have been through lately. How close to the surface many of their emotions may be.

I can NOT speak for others but on behalf of myself I would like to extend a warm welcome to you and encourage you to participate if you are so inclined.

The fact that I have witnessed the hurtful and at times disgusting way that *our attacker* has acted I can understand why someone might be afraid to open themselves up to more abuse and letting their skepticism control their manners. This IMO does not excuse that type of behavior and I believe you should be thanked for your input and welcomed to the fold.

If I end up being bit by our resident whacko as a result of my belief that most people are well intentioned oh well. I would rather take that bite than worry all the time about the intentions of others.

I don't think that anyone here is complaining about an occassional graphic that may pop up in a thread. I think you know the types of threads being referred to.

In the interest of keeping the forum fun for all is it too much to ask that when a thread like the ones mentioned is started for it to contain something in the title denoting it as being graphic intensive.

For instance looking back at the hidden talent thread, we knew it was going to contain pics and we could have made it known to all by simply putting "(Graphics inside) at the end of the title.

And just ask everyone to please excercise some restraint so that threads not identified as graphic ones wouldn't get bogged down. To me this is a meeting in the middle which we should all try to do.

In an attempt to keep the peace and harmony here in the forum might we all be willing to meet somewhere in the middle?

Asking that graphics only be in 1 thread may be asking for too much for a multitude of reasons. That said howeve the way that graphics have taken over is for me a bit much. The reasons I feel as such I stated above.

As many of you stated. Why not just avoid those threads? I could accept that and try to do just that most of the time but, then I would ask you ladies that when you start a thread that is all about the sparklies, could there be something in the threads title to show this. Example : a (G) or a(*) at the end of the title.

That way those of us who want to avoid them will know which ones to avoid and those who enjoy them can continue posting graphics.

Just a thought

Nice question jj. I hope the pot can be stirred just a bit, in a nice way..

<<<<<<<<<<<<< Agrees I would just add too heavily entrenched into our Government that was originally designed to prevent that from happening. Why is it difficult to be good people just for the sake of it being the right thing to do. where is our empathy and compassion for all people of the world not just the ones that think the way we do.I will step down from my soap box now. Everyone, they are such good and caring answers wish this was indicative of the rest of society

Hey mooma thanks. In order for Deb and I to provide enough different types of items with just the two of us we have to be so diverse.

My passion is all things beaded. That is what I love most. Honestly collecting beads is what I love most but if I only collect and don't produce I start feeling very guilty about the money I have invested in them. Otherwise I would probably just collect.

All kidding and niceties aside, what you do the is the true talent. I simply see something I like and use that as inspiration. Adding a touch here or subtracting or replacing there to make it mine. I am not kidding you ,if I tried to draw using stick figures, people would look at it and say "huh,WTH is that?"

Off to the hospital again, Here in AZ it is a beautiful spring day with an expected high of 84°. It is the days like today that make up for the 120° We will be having in a month or so.

Hope you all enjoy your Easter. If you are celebrating with family and\or friends I hope that peace and tranquility is in abundance for today. And that you don't overcook the ham. )

I do have other creative talents which leads me to believe that There are many others here that are talented in creative ways. Perhaps a thread where these could be showcased would be a good idea.

I would love to see what the rest of you make or do as a hobby.

sshhameless1

Well Shameless... start the thread, I'm sure a lot of use will join in. But its your idea so start it. We like to encourage everyone to post here.

I might just do that but it will have to be later. I have a few errands I need to run and can put them off no longer than I already have.

Perhaps this evening or if someone wanted to start it now I will add to it when I return.

Either way makes no difference to me

Second I agree with moo in letting the mod's see what this guy is doing and allow them to handle it. If we don't respond to him and ignore him (because he is not that important to waste my time or effort on) maybe he'll get the message he's not wanted here and will go away.

If I am not mistaken when a post is flagged by someone a screen shot is taken containing the post in question. If that is the case then the mods have seen everything this person has done. If we flag that which is truly offensive to get it removed and simply ignore the rest of the blithering I think this would be a good approach. Just my thought at least.

I completely agree. That is the best way to deal with this type of activity.

When a person in need of attention fails to get any they very quickly move on to somewhere else that will fill that need.

I am not a shrink here but I would be willing to bet that this person suffers from a very bad case of narcissism. If we stop feeding his delusion grandeur he will leave.

The assistance I was offering was flagging his posts and nothing more.

I know that the definition of offensive is a subjective one and that I tend to lean towards tolerance. I do however have a strong sense of right and wrong and will gladly help everyone else combat the recent attempts at disruption.

One of the first things I learned in law school was the "Reasonable man test" which in tort law is defined as "how would a reasonable person in the same or similar circumstances behave" This test has served me well through my life.
