crushing?

Oh
...uh...what I *meant* to say was that BECAUSE of the fabulous moderators here, there's no restrictive speech...and no "Zinger-type" abuse, to top it off!
Shoesharper, my name was Liberty there, too, but I wasn't as active there...usually more of a fly on the wall.
Just teasin' LibertyD :wink:
Oh, and ehBeth ... I'm pretty big and clumsy, but I'm fairly well behaved and mostly gentle in social situations
Still, the sweet compensations must be an added reward when they happen. I learned some time ago (actually only a short time ago) that gratification alone is not a good measure of whether a thing ought to be done. That is, some of us have the idea that if it feels good, it must be wrong. However sometimes, what is right gratifies some of our most naughty wishes.......and when this is the case, it's always a nice bonus.
Shoesharper,
I don't know if we met on Abuzz. My name was Ethel. Good to have you here.
And Montana, I didn't know you were Gezzy. It's so funny to find that two people you know are in fact the same person. It happened with nimh too! What a funny surprise.
Thank You
Hi, Lola! Sure, I remember your name on Abuzz. And I am so glad you changed it, because Ethel is my mother-in-law's name. 'Nufff said.

LOL Lola. Sorry about that. I tried to tell everyone when I made the change, but I knew I'd forget some
Lola
I didn't know you were Ethel either. I was wondering where she was. Who was nimh?
nimh was No It's Me and later he added Habibi = nimh, go figure. Funny
that's just as well Phoenix........you'd never catch us anyway, we're so fast.
Sharpshooter...........I think Ethel is everybody's mother in law's name.......I'm glad I changed it too....
You stay right there, Phoenix ... I'll circle around back and spook 'em toward ya ... get ready now, they're gonna scatter ....
some of us can fly.........just call me Mary Poppins, quick....my umbrella now.........

Well, I'll be darn. I never knew.
I'll bet Phoenix wields a mean billy club, too. Right, Phoenix? If only you could work on NY Zinger.
She does walk softy, but carries a big stick :-)
Hi Shoesharper, I was mmediane on abuzz, but I wasn't very active; I do remember you, though and your astute political analyses.
Ehbeth, I'll bet you anything that you will find Timber to be a gentle, courtly kind of man. Just read his posts to see the way his mind works as well as his gentle restraint. (OK, Timber, was this enough to fool the innocents going to Madison?)
Diane - Political threads on Abuzz are rarely very civilized, but it is fun. I have only posted twice on the political topics here, and I have to admit that I had to watch my language and approach. I'll get used to it, and if some post makes me mad I can always so over to Abuzz and blow my stack.
shoesharper- I think that you will find that it is much more valuable ultimately when people stick to serious issues, and keep emotions in check when it comes to politics and other volatile subjects.
There is plenty of fun, banter and teasing on the more light hearted threads, and there is lots of opportunity to let your hair down, and be
downright silly.
