Let's all take Virtual DEEP BREATH

[shais_mom]

could we all just take a deep breath and take a breather???
There is such anger and resentment around the air here in General and Dog House it is unbelievable and quite frankly some of the people that I care about the most have been involved in it and it makes me sick just sick.
I stay out of the dog house b/c of that reason and now it has seeped over to here GENERAL.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion - no one is right or wrong. As far as I know this is still a FREE country.
I didn't participate in the Christmas card exchange b/c I knew it would be a huge expense and just didn't have it this year. And b/c I too didn't like it in previous years when people didn't send cards they said they were going to send.
I probably won't be participating in any SWAPS of any kind that I can think of b/c the bandana swap last summer - I never got anything. She pm'ed me and told me that she had sent - and I believed her - I didn't have any reason NOT too. I still believe her - I just never got anything.
But I don't blame this forum for it either.

Man, I wish! Oh, and if anyone needs lemons, PLEASE someone take them off of our tree in the back yard.

You have LEMONS in YOUR back yard??? Oh my, I wish we had that too! We had fish for lunch, and my hubby always wants lemon with it! But, no more lemon in our fridge

I love those fruit trees with lemons, orangies, etc...! They only grow in southern Europe, like the south of France. But hey, who knows we will be able to have them too in the future (since the temperatures are rising) ??

Okay, I am taking a DEEEEEEEEEP breath

ps. I just noticed you live in Florida, Kay. Wow, I was there many years ago, and it is GORGEOUS out there!!! I am jalous now

Tee hee, I've been so wrapped up in my own self looking for a job that I totally missed any discord anywhere (but I have been following Gina's thread)

It seems we all get fiesty every few months around here. Then everyone kisses and makes up, then gets worked up a month or so later.

Everybody, please go hug your pets and know that we're all hugging our pets together (aren't I overly sweet this morning?)

No lemons here, it's snowing! Staci, did it snow on your side of the state yet?

[trayi52]

Oh, please! Deep breaths for everyone! Staci is right!

yes it snowed but didn't stick!


I should say in the beginning thread - Let's all take a deep breath - MYSELF included!
But then I got accused of spreading hatred over the board -
And that was after I started this thread.
Yes, I have had my "spats" with people but I'm not the only one!
I can't promise that I won't have spats in the future but I will definitley try my best to leave it be and just grab the tequila and salt with the LEMONS that life gives us!

Staci,
Kudos to you for starting this thread - unfortunate, but necessary. I haven't the courage to post in Gina's thread for fear of what I may say.

In this thread I have 2 thoughts:

1 - Staci you are an amazing woman and I respect your feelings.
2 - As I have many times expressed - Karen and Paul have created a wonderful place for us all to enjoy. They deserve our respect. If we, as individuals, cannot be accountable for our actions, then we haven't the right to post on this forum.

Enough said, I wish everyone here a better and happier day

Hugs to you all,
Betty

Hi Staci! *waves*
Went past your exit off the freeway the other day & *sent* you some good vibes! I don't like the pettiness & bickering either, so my policy is that when a thread goes bad, I don't post any more. In fact, I avoid reading it just cause I don't want to hear it. Maybe it's the "ostrich" philosophy but it works for me!

And just where is that snow they keep bragging about on the other side of the state?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Ok, everyone into your snow suits!!!

Come have a romp in the snow with me!!! That will cool us all off! (plus make us giggle)

[borzoimom]

grab the tequilla.. lol.. " in with the good air- out with the bad.. " lol...

[Daisy and Delilah]

That picture is amazing!! I absolutely love it..........ahhhhh.......I feel better already!! Thanks

I hope no one takes adults expressing different opinions on a subject as
a personal fight against any one who differs from them.I always believed
adults can differ on things without nursing any personal hatreds. I love
hearing different opinions. Might not always agree with the thoughts, but
always like hearing them.


Moff, I like seeing your "snow pics".It reminds me what real snow looks like.
