Thanks Karen, I was wondering how to explain without being too crude or offending anyone.

Richard, you hit it right on the head when you said people need a place to chill, and the Thursdays thread is just the place to do it. Even if I don't participate a lot in it, I love reading it because it's just silly, and it's amazing how things can get off on different tangents.

And I like what E's Secretary said about going to the threads that highlight her day. Maybe that's what we should all do - to to the threads that highlight our days and ignore the ones that bring us down.

Richard,

I think your previous post was one of your best ever.

Congrats.

I totally agree with you on this one, Liz!

The orignal post, I beleave, was not about thursday's but about some other threads that have gone WAY off hand. Me, personally, I am not offended. However, I am shocked to find out some things that are said on this used to be "family oriented" site. I, personally, enjoy the Thrusday threads, but have a hard time keeping up with all the fuss.

This thread make me so sad

Just got caught up.
I felt like I was watching a soap opera!
I as a rule stay away from the Dog house but do check it out occasionally. I would just hate the thought of 2 people actaully hating each other over their views of different things found here in PT land. There is too much of that in the world anyway.

I agree!

I love reading "Thursday's" postings even if I have nothing to say myself. It's just plain fun. I love the adult conversation & humor.

Me too!

Aly-
I never took this thread to be directed at any ONE person, and I respect your opinion on it. I just have a different opinion. Shoot, I have different opinions on lots of things, with lots of people. I am not mad/offended/upset by your posts..I just don't agree. I don't like you less, respect you less, etc. I enjoy differences of opinion, and probably am a little bit more comfortable with conflict than lots of people on this board. I hate to think that you are upset about this. When I read it, I don't think I see the 'nasty' stuff you might be seeing.

Micki- I was using your neice as an example only, just because you had just mentioned the situation. I wasn't, in any way, being critical of your parenting/aunting skills. It was just as an example. As to using and abusing me...well, I don't find that offensive. I didn't take it in a sexual way...but, it does, once again, serve as an example. You said it to me. You didn't mean it offensively, I didn't take it offensively, but others did....you just can't please people sometimes. I could find insult in nearly every post, if I searched.

I stick by my original comments. This is the DH, and I don't want to have to censore myself because of some (or any) child. I would find PT alot less enjoyable, and would contemplate leaving, because it wouldn't be serving my needs any longer. I think my opinion should 'count' just as much as some child's.

home cooking???


cornish pasties?


On the flip side.....

It's easy to hold a grudge with someone over their views. The hard part is putting it aside so you can get on to the more important grudges.

The idea of a 'cyber bar' lets us tell dumb jokes, laugh, eat and act silly-without being drunk.

Or gain weight!!!
I never drink liquor either, in real life or in the cyber bar. I have fun without it. I will admit to eating nachos too often though.

As far as I'm concerned, Pasties are nothing dirty, nor offensive or anything like that. Alot of women find them quite convenient. I don't know why we wouldn't be able to describe them tastefully.

Pasties are stick-on bras (much like large bandaids) so women can still wear a supportive undergarmet without having straps that would show with some tops.

I wore my first pair of pasties with my prom dress my freshman year in high school- age 14. Nothing dirty, just a bra.

Uh, that's not the same thing as the pasties strippers wear.
