Have you ever had one of those bad hair days that lasted for months? Have you ever made snap decisions that were final and then went oops but were too embarrassed to turn that decision around because you knew you were going to be laughed at if you did? Have you ever felt like your world has just fallen apart and then after some reflection, sleep, and common sense you have realized it hasn't?
My guess would be yes, these have happened to all of us. Well, that's what's happened to me. Seems the only thing I really needed was to actually have a conversation with someone about what was really going on. And I thank God for that person that was willing to listen to me. I have never given up on anything in my life. I almost did. But her statement, "Until now?" hit me like a ton of bricks! And her honesty brought me back to reality.
Do I need the people on A2k? Yes! Yes! Yes! Big f'ing deal! Whether I do or not, for whatever reason I do or not, is none of anyone's business unless I choose to share that with you. Diane says (indirectly) I have no grit. Well, maybe it's high time I really got some.
So, this is the way I see it. I don't want to quit on A2K. I enjoy the conversations. I enjoy the interaction with people that I am not able to actually experience in real life right now. I don't have to like any of you and you don't have to like me. Sure, I wish everyone did like everyone but they don't, never will. So, I will not quit. I will post in whatever forum I want to. I will say what I want to say and I will talk to who I want to talk to. If you don't want to converse with me, then don't. That's the way that goes! And I will use Smiley's whenever I feel like it for whatever reason I feel like it. So, I suggest y'all put on your big girl and/or big boy panties and deal with it! It's what I'm going to do!
I want to talk to other people. I want to debate the issues that I find interesting. If I don't do it according to your standards well, then don't get into a discussion with me and then we both won't get frustrated or irritated. If you feel I have nothing to offer then just ignore me. So, you are not going to hear me ask you to be civil or respectful again. I don't want special treatment from anyone for any reason. None of us knows how long we have on this earth and I will be go to heck (can't change some things ) before I let anyone stop me from doing what I enjoy doing for whatever time I have.
And Diane, I'm going to take you up on your offer, lady. And, I do consider you a lady. If I need ya to tell them to f'off, I'll let ya know!
So, I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
atta girl!!!! you show them
good to see you back...missed ya

Please stop stickin those smiley faces all over your posts. They remind me of patty Dreibelbess back in grade school who used to put those gummy stars and stickers all over her papers and send them around as notes.
Other than that , juss take on somebody and give em a big sock on the labonza

Is it too early to start with the meta stuff about how AM I supposed to respond if I disagree, and am I hereby barred from responding to Momma Angel unless I agree with her...?
Yes...?
I'll wait.

Oh for goodness' sake, I'd just written you a big long email telling you all about why you have to ignore "certain people" on A2K and why you shouldn't leave, and then I see this. Criminy. Ah, well, glad you're here anyway.
