People need to start writing more on this site. Some of the things are good on here. Altho, there is not enough interaction, I do find
it fun to read here. I am in the process of writing a profile and I did notice it is very low key. It
would be nice to see more things that require some response and discussion. Only a suggestion.

We've had (finally) spring weather for a week. Now in the upper 80's and I'm loving every minute of it.

Have a great day everyone.

SER said...

Clock'in in at #5 Yes it looks like its going to be a nice day.

I like the picture, and expression on the lead In. Very nice, unlike the temperature. 39 at 9 a.m. I had to turn the heat on AGAIN last night. It was only In the 50s In the house. Problem Is, the house breathes better than I do.

Anonymous, The problem Is, the majority of the people using this site don't wish to get back into the name calling, and horrible banter experienced before. I on the other hand enjoy CIVIL debate. YOU know the ones where parties agree to disagree? As an example of how bad It can get, If you look at a controversial blog on Yahoo, you can read some of the nastiest things you could ever read. NOBODY stops people from writing some of these senseless things. It (In my opinion) Is leading to the destruction of this country? I could not be certain how other people on this site feel, but perhaps a STANDARD kind of "What's goin on" type segment of the site, could work? Another problem, WHO Is going to keep the people that are pretty much just plain TROUBLEMAKERS tame. It takes time, something I don't know of anyone wanting to spend? Another good idea, would be for you to come up with a name. "Anonymous", is SO non-personal sounding.

I think the interaction is great. We have a mutual respect for each other, which is a rare find. Adding new people always adds "juice" to the content, so grab a name and let's go.

I am new at this and often read. I am trying to write a profile and think of a blogging name. I would like to see any kind of discussions and try my hand. I do not want to stir up in any way, but just get some ideas, etc.
I know the weather is popular, but there has to be more than that, not involving hostility.
I will type under a name soon and join you site. I read other sites, too.

kkdither said...

Anon, we can help you get started, if needed. See the main page, left sidebar. If you send an email request to the sheriff, you can register. It might make it easier to get started and get the profile in place.

Welcome. We look forward to more from you.

Toad, you should be writing rule books
The blogging police needs a new set of guidelines and it looks like you have the time :>

SER said...

The hell with all of ya...lets have a party instead!! wooohoooo

legal stranger said...

Somebody stop me.....
did SER say ......... PARTYYYYYYYYY

OKIE said...

Did someone mention Party????

OrbsCorbs said...

Party til your pants fall down.

kkdither said...

I'm minus one. I'm ready!

lizardmom said...

Orbs, your pants always fall down at parties :) that's why you love them so hehehe!
Anon, we're an eclectic group and are so very different from each other, but yet have this crazy dysfunctional bond. Most of us have met, and I think that is why we get along so well. It's a different dynamic if it's all faceless strangers. The vibe isn't a combative one tho we're very protective of each other. We always welcome new people to our group. Occassionally we've had a couple crazies try to come and start trouble, and our spidey senses go on high alert, but we try to be quite inviting otherwise. If you're the same anon from the 4 for Friday's blog, I'm sorry if I came across as rude, it wasn't my intention, it was more observation. Welcome to the gang!

Toad said...

Legal, YES, I have nothing but time, but I would want NOTHING to do with being a blog cop. My answer to being a blog cop Is, reply In a like manner, without expletives.

Actually, I can't decide If your pissed off at my reply or WHAT? If rules exist on this site, I am not aware of them. It's a kind of "Be kind to you neighbor" site, In MY opinion.

Toad said...

Gee, all this time, and I have never been to the bottom of the opening page of this site. WOW. I'm really impressed. I only have one more thing to say. I thought everything you read on the internet was "true"?

Actually I'm really depressed right now. I am afraid I have pissed In someones Wheaties, unintentionally. I hope that's not the case, but It comes from the Paranoia mixed with the depression. SO Legal stranger, If I pissed In your Wheaties, I am truly sorry.

I hope I am not one of the crazies that is disliked here. I just try to write entertainingly so people smile. maybe ya'll think I'm too nuts even to be an irregular.

kkdither said...

All this self doubt. Buck up, Irregulars! I really don't care if I'm hated... lol. Party, on!

OrbsCorbs said...

I don't think there's room here for hatred. We know each others politics. There's nothing to discuss.
