WHAT MADE YOU GRIMACE & GRIT YOUR TEETH TODAY?

I think pragmatic and I may be suffering from the same putdowns on the same thread. I'm amazed I let it get to me, but it did. You know who, olgs. Very negative and critical.

Now I HAVE to know the name of this thread! ... But you're not gonna tell me, are you?

I wouldn't like it to get about. The last poster was amigo.

Right!

I will see what I can see!

Thanks, Clary.

the last few pp are less noxious, go back a bit

Right!

(Think I found it!)

Clary, i abandoned altogether one of my favorite threads of those which i had started because of that member. Please don't let it get to you, the evidence i have seen is that said member is a nasty old pub crawler, and you show your greater character by ignoring that member. I for one am always glad to see you in a thread, and when i see your name as the last to respond, i click on a thread, even if i've never visited before, even if i don't comment.

Setanta, I couldn't agree more. I see Clary's name on a thread & I read it. Always. And it's always worth it.


... & Phhhhfffft to nasty folk at A2K!

You have brought tears to my eyes, literally! Thank you so much for your comments. I know I shouldn't let it get to me but critical people do. It's not that I feel above criticism. But there are ways of doing it. My father was rather a critical person, perhaps it all comes back to childhood!


I also click onto threads where Setanta and Olga have been in evidence!!

Clary

There's a big difference between being "critical" & being nasty & mean spirited.

Well, yes. I am sometimes critical myself but I HOPE not nasty and mean-spirited. I really must take things with a pinch of salt - or a belly laugh, perhaps. Hope poor little pragmatic comes back...

May I jump in to echo what Setanta said in his last post? Not pertaining to the offender, because I don't know whom he is (I've a guess, though), but I too am always pleased to see Clary in a thread. As msolga said, it is worth it.

I can't post anything here because instead of making me grimace and grit my teeth, you lovely people make my heart sing!

Son had battery charger under the hood of his car and the Mrs decided to borrow his car for an errand yesterday. She started the car and drove off with it with 50" extension cord in tow, 1 mile later she discovered problem... error - I need a new charger and extension cord now, lucky motor was not damaged.

Well after a absence from the other threads I participated in I see I have some replying to do...



I won't mince words - if you haven't found it yet, its the Questions Game.



It got to me to0, I felt like throwing a brick through his window (to quote his words to me). You aren't alone, Clary: and yes he is a negative and critical blah blah blah. Good old Francis. I would have joined in too except:

- I wasn't on the net at that crucial time
- I probably would have said a few words that would lead me to be expelled from a2k.





I made the mistake of replying to him a few times then I stopped because he was full of crap and i don't argue with people full of crap, quite frankly.



The same. You people remind me that there is still hope in this world we will meet kindred spirits, not weirdos.




No can do Clary. I'm not having a drunkard call me a "jumper in with rubbish" again. But I hope you have fun there and I'll see you around other posts without people accusing us of grinding things to a halt.

I am not going to that thread again. And its a pity, I did enjoy it so much.

pragmatic,

u think u got problems?
a baby bat just flew by my right ear

(how the hell do they get in?? they really like our house...)

Like mice they can squeeze through the tiniest spaces.

I grimace and grit my teeth every day that I work with Mr. BFHD. He views everything as a threat and turns it all into a
BIG FAT HAIRY DEAL!

I have literally seen this man beat his head against a wall.

I'd rather have a where-the-hell-did-that-bat-come-from bat by my ear than a I-think-I'm-so-great-pub-addict degrade me....successfully. I was upset all day.

My brother did that when he got a D for logic - what made me grit and grimmace was the D, not the bruise on his forehead.
