    I occasionally read DT but I choose my topics carefully. I am definitely not brave enough to post in there!

    I am going to look for that cam now, Calley! Thank you!

    Here is the link

    Edit done, JM!

    I lurk in The Arms, Pyxis! It is one of my favourite boards (I see you there!). I am too scared to post but I'm there daily! I also visit daily the OS board, DFW , Benefits when I'm not feeling triggery and all of the shopping boards. I get around and read a lot of the site, even JM's Matched Betting Board where I read a few posts, scratch my head and leave looking confused.


    Hahaha! You've probably seen me mucking about then! :rotfl:


    There has been some strange stuff going on lately, though. Loads of newbies/posters with very low post counts, who probably aren't all ahem as new as they make out. The golden rule is, never ever respond to someone who is rude rather than offering genuine debate, or who makes personal digs. Once you respond, even in self-defence, it's like petrol on a fire. There's strength in silence, however provocative the insults/accusations.
    Just feel sorry for people who have nothing else to offer, personality-wise, except jibes and taunts.


    Then go to another thread and have a good laugh! :rotfl:

    The Lolcats thread is always good for a giggle, or the "strange, funny, peculiar" thread. Then there's always my "Funny Banana" Thread! Hahahahaha!

    I am used to AE's and trolls after working with my teenagers who were very accomplished at both, they rarely bother me. I do like the funny ones, most of my teenagers were very funny trolls who never attacked individuals but would make funny posts and have hilarious pretend arguments on the forums between themselves, I had been known to join in hence the I Am The Troll Mum signature they made for me. The nasty ones I just ignore as you say, I don't tend to rise to any bait. They don't put me off posting in The Arms, I am just scared everyone will think I'm stupid! Besides, there are several trolls and AE's on this board too, they tend to be everywhere.

    I love your banana thread! I always check the panda thread! Oh, and when I couldn't sleep a while back I read 50 pages of the What Did You Last Eat thread? I read everything...

    :eek: fifty pages of what did you last eat? :eek:

    Even I couldn't have managed that! :rotfl:





    I feel that we are very lucky with this thread. Loads of lovely people who just want to help each other! :A

    Any AEs or trolls who were to visit would just get therapied to death! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

  • Hahahaha! This thread isn't particularly fun for the meanie trolls, everyone is so supportive that they couldn't manage to cause disharmony so there is little point. Funny trolls I wouldn't mind as long as they didn't get in the way of people being heard and supported, I have read some hilarious troll posts before now. I remember three of my teenagers made a 5 page thread pretend arguing about what was the best size bed. They were accusing each other of being 'bed-ist'. and claiming that "mine is bigger than yours!" It was hilarious especially as some posters (adults!) thought that were genuinely fighting and that moderators were doing nothing about it!

    I won't mention reading at least 30 pages of the Goodnight Thread then. Told you I read anything!

    decided to cook some lunch.

    Only chicken breast and frozen roasties, yorkshires and some veggies. All in the house so no money spent.

    I am rather partial to roasties myself.

    I have not cooked properly this week. And lunch has been rather rubbish. I only get 30 mins so not long by the time I have walked home fed and checked the animals. And made a sandwich.

    So need to prep it the night before so at least something to eat LOL!!!
