Love, Newsgroup Style
On Aug 1, 7:38�pm, Candace wrote:
Here's an unsolicited and I'm sure unappreciated observation from a quasi-outsider here but a decade-long regular on rpchb. �Maybe you all *love* each other here too much. �I see that word and similar words of extreme affection bandied about here quite a lot. �Maybe those words and feelings should be reserved for people you actually have IRL relationships with. �Do you really *love* someone whose posts you have read for a few days/weeks/months? �I mean, I have enjoyed rpchb at times and enjoy many of the old regulars' posts there and often come upon someone who I think I would like if I met them (but I don't believe I ever have met anyone from rpchb, mostly because no one has ever been local to me) but to say I *love* them, in the way that I *love* real friends and family would be stretching it. �It's too easy to get all hurt by someone you *love* on a newsgroup but, apparently don't really know. �Yes, I know some of you have met and that may be different but I think most of you have not met most of the others so how can you possibly love each other? �I can see enjoying/loving reading a newsgroup and having it be a hobby that you look forward to everyday, but sheesh, *love*? Candace- You're getting all profound on me, Candance. Don't make my brain implode. But, YEAH! There are newsgroup people that I am *very* fond of. Yeah, you could say "love", (a couple). I worry about them if I don't hear from them. But this after *private* correspondence/phone correpondence over a period of several YEARS. You can't "love" anyone after reading their words on a screen for a couple of months. Even to say that you do, cheapens the word, I think. Sherry "Oooh,I'm a star, and the audience loves me... and I love them. And they love me for loving them and I love them for loving me. And we love each other. And that's because none of us got enough love in our childhood. And that's showbiz... kid. " --- Roxie Hart |

Thank you Candace! Pull up a seat and pass the popcorn and let's have some fun! Nose Kisses, CatNipped I don't think I will ever be able to eat popcorn again. My entire mouth has been operated on in quadrants since March and next month I finally get to get braces. Is that weird, braces at 45 years old? LOL -- Cheryl Can you get the invisible ones? Kyla |

I've posted about 7 or 8 times in this entire thread and out of that ONE post was in reference to you, and it was in no way mean. I really am at the point I don't care what you post, until you start posting lies about me. I have *never* called you a name of any sort. If this is a new way for you to stir the pot, please stop it, right now. Sherry I do apologize then Sherry. I really do. I do NOT want to stir up the pot again. Please accept my apology? I know, the whole thing got out of hand and ....it was a mistake, not a lie. I don't post lies. I might make mistakes, but I do NOT post lies. Honest. Okay? Hug Kyla Why would a new way be necessary when the old ones are working so very well? |

"Candace" ... On Aug 1, 1:42 pm, "Kyla =^. .^=`" "Matthew"... "CatNipped" "Matthew" "Will in New Haven" message ... On Aug 1, 10:18 am, "CatNipped" wrote: "Victor Martinez" wrote in message MaryL wrote: I would be horrified and genuinely hurt if a "real friend" said that about me in front of a group of people or posted it to a newsgroup (even I must have missed something. Since when is "drama queen" some sort of insult? Particularly when the individual receiving such designation *agrees* he/she is a drama queen. I've tried to be careful not to insult anybody on this thread. I do not believe "drama queen" or "having a mean side" are insults. They are factual descriptions of my perceptions on Lori's behavior. If I wanted to insult, I could have used other terms that convey a similar meaning, but I chose not to. Don't worry about it, Victor. You can go ahead and say whatever you'd like without worrying about ever hurting my feelings again. It's not a problem any more. Catnippped is standing on the verandah, looking down at Victor on the walk She puts the back of her hand on her forehead, sighs and pauses dramatically You'll never hurt me again, Rhett Fade to black -- Will in New Haven ROFLMAO I find it strange that the same people who were urging me to "play nice" are now jumping on the "let's beat up CatNipped" bandwagon. But really, I appreciate this - it's *always* nice to know who your true friends are. Ear Flicks, CatNipped I am not on any bandwagon I thought was funny you take it more than that well that is you Tell, me Matthew, how *should* someone take it if someone hurt his/her feelings, and then someone else, who was considered a friend, laughed at it? And, not only laughed, but published that laugh to the world to make sure everyone *knew* he was laughing at her. Like I said, it's nice to know who your friends are. Tail Twitches, CatNipped Wow tables turned just what I was talking about Yeah, Matthew, eerie how you predicted that. And how satisfying for you that I'm getting my just desserts. Goody for you, score one for the good guys! Tail Flicks, CatNipped I asked for all this to end and let the thread die. I along with many others knew this would happen. I almost begged for this to end. I am not satisfied nor happy about the situation. I stated before I did not want this to go one let the damn thread die and start an new one for the thread drift but it continued. IMO Anything that happened was brought upon themselves now everyone is left to lick their wounds and wonder what is next I still love you and everyone else. I stated before I did not want to fight just to be left in peace. I promised to keep the peace awhile ago and I have kept that agreement. But I will stand up for someone when the time is needed just as others have done I left certain hints hoping people would catch on instead of ripping into people which I promised not to do anymore except for trolls This thread it just went too far now where next is in all our thoughts Thank you Matthew. I too wanted the thread to die, but when I opened up my reader, I saw all these ping Kyla's and yet more fighting going on. I just want you to know, I appreciate you and I love you to pieces, and I'm wishing this thread would die too. Why was it brought up again in the first place? The planets must be aligning up or something. IDK, but just know I thank you for sticking up for me and you need a BIG HUG I'm okay, I'm over it all...CN or others can't hurt me...if I don't let them, and I just won't let them I so want to have rpca go back to where it was when I joined a few months ago. Love, hugs, purrs, bright blessings, peace Kyla --warning, cat pictures from me coming soon It's actually not about you anymore. And as for changing subject lines, I almost never do when I'm responding to someone else. That's why it keeps popping back up. Here's an unsolicited and I'm sure unappreciated observation from a quasi-outsider here but a decade-long regular on rpchb. Maybe you all *love* each other here too much. I see that word and similar words of extreme affection bandied about here quite a lot. Maybe those words and feelings should be reserved for people you actually have IRL relationships with. Do you really *love* someone whose posts you have read for a few days/weeks/months? I mean, I have enjoyed rpchb at times and enjoy many of the old regulars' posts there and often come upon someone who I think I would like if I met them (but I don't believe I ever have met anyone from rpchb, mostly because no one has ever been local to me) but to say I *love* them, in the way that I *love* real friends and family would be stretching it. It's too easy to get all hurt by someone you *love* on a newsgroup but, apparently don't really know. Yes, I know some of you have met and that may be different but I think most of you have not met most of the others so how can you possibly love each other? I can see enjoying/loving reading a newsgroup and having it be a hobby that you look forward to everyday, but sheesh, *love*? Candace Well, we do love each other, it's something that can't be explained. HTH Kyla Kyla |

"Yowie" wrote in message What is a green onion as opposed to a regular onion? green onions are also known as scallions, long thin onions. yummy OK, here's a question. Recently I had bought a large yellow onion. It had begun to sprout some green shoots out the top. I never did get around to eating the onion, but it was fascinating to watch the sprouts grow. Eventually they looked exactly like scallions, growing out of a large onion (which was getting smaller and mushier by the day, as it was feeding the scallions/sprouts. My question: *were* these scallions? Are scallions just the sprouted part of an onion, or are they different plants? -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |
