As far as the ladies...sometimes I really can't figure out what dlowan, ehbeth and heeven are talking about. For a long time now, I'll read posts that others are responding to in kind...I know they are kidding around...but have no idea what the subject is, or what the humor is supposed to be about. So, I'll go back a few pages to see if I can pick up the gist...but I'm left scrathing my head.
What the hell are you talking about woman? I'm as clear as mud!
Actually I'm laughing to myself because I've thought the same about you a time or two. I read a lot of posts and think to myself that I have a fondness for certain posters here and there, but I often forget that it might not show, since I don't actually type the words or give the feedback that a written forum needs. It's like the people who I am fond of should know it, but how can they if I never tell them?
I'm not the smartest cookie in the box and I've often felt lost in many threads, but I just hop off if my interest is not tweaked. I detest politics for the sheer nastiness and whingeyness that occurs in discussions on this subject - both online and IRL. Same thing with religion. People can be so inconsiderate of any opinions other than their own and I am more interested in learning a thing or two or sharing views without it boiling down to a knock-down-drag-out fight.
As for putting me in a list with dlowan and ehbeth, well I don't think I'm in their league. We certainly have conversed with each other and I am most fond of these two ladies (and I use the word 'ladies' loosely), I don't see very close similarities in our posts. If it's humor you mean, I guess I'm a looney goof at times and can find the weirdest things funny and just behave silly. It might not make sense to a lot of people but as long as one person is getting the joke (me) then I'll laugh crazily by myself!
As for you, there are times I identify with what you're saying like it's like me talking, and then there are other times when you post something and I think "is she off her rocker?" Maybe you don't have the same sense of humor. It's not like it's a problem. Humor is my favorite thing. I wish I was wittier but then, if I was, people around me would hang themselves!
