just ignore and let this one die

Eeewwwww!
Please don't "can the frog" on my account, I didn't mean it as a complaint, just an observation. It kind of reminds me of Aahz the demon from Robert Asprin's books.

/me smiles Oh believe me- he is totlly creeping me out too! but for now unless someone screams in fear i guess we can let him stay - if he does bother too much I will remove him. I have an aunt that cannot bear even pictures of lizard! I had a cute articulated silver one on a thong round my neck and i had to remove it if she was around because it bothered her that much.

And if you read Lindal's post that I was quoting, you would see that I was responding to her assertion that the Tea party movement was a groundswell of public opinion. I don't agree with many of the political opinions of posters here, and mostly, I keep my opinions to myself. What I most object to though, are unfounded assertions of opinion as fact. I merely looked up some actual facts to set the record straight.

It's late... this whole issue is disturbing to me. I really despair over our country, sometimes.

/me notes lack of sarcasm emoticon . . .

Pep ( . . . and wonders how many battles of wits are won by those prone to making second grade grammatical errors.)

Then you deserve a reasoned response.

Are you suggesting I shouldn't? More censorship?

Sensitivity is a personal thing obviously. I have indicated that I find LOLCATs "horrific and/or painful" but people still post them.

You sound as if you have been reading Phil Spector's defence. Intent is irrelevant to the victim of a gunshot through their skull.

Now you are contradicting, and therefore condemning, yourself, and the others who do the same.

Did I? I don't recall that.

Is this relevant? I don't post LOLCATs.

Determined by whom? And at least one photo was removed that was not a "crush picture". Invisible, arbitrary and unexplained censorship sounds like the sort of thing that would have the forums up in arms if opinions were requested in a Friday thread. I am sure I would be able to make an argument that the photos were acceptable from a PG point of view if the discussion were to be out in public, rather than being a secret uncommunicated decision negotiated between conspirators behind closed doors.

Does this represent an "official" acknowledgement by yourself that this thread is actually subject to the ToS and Forum Guidelines? Does this mean that to avoid accusations of hypocrisy you will be requesting that it should be closed down, as it has no question to answer, and according to the Guidelines: "threads that are no longer productive may be locked from further posting"? Perhaps you will be requesting that posts regarding political matters should be deleted or removed to the appropriate forum? I could give further examples of possible contraventions, but I don't really want to see this thread closed down.

Good morning all -

For once, we are expecting a beautiful day - sunny, pleasant, mid-high 60's....Oooooooo, can't wait The green thumb is itching to do some work.

Happy Birthday, Lexxi!!



As for the rest of you ... good morning

That's really cute Ghosty

Morning Denizen's of the Thread - /me throws open the windows and greets a bright, fresh and dewy morning.

It is greyish here, the sun is not quite sure if it wants to peek out from behind the clouds - wish he'd go back to bed and we could spend the day watching soft rain- our grass is parched!

Here are a couple of pix from last night:

Sunset Ride



Canoeing



At Rest

Wow- awesome Mo

@ Lexxi

Happy Belated Birthday! Hope you had a wonderful day!

How did we miss Lexxi's birthday??!!??

Happy birthday, Lexxi! I hope you were able to have lots of fun.

Good morning, Threadies.

Here's what I had for breakfast:


I didn't have coffee, but here's a cup:

A search of Google Images sure does come up with some pretty flowers.

ummm...oh my!

Did you request that your own post should be deleted?

Pep (Or did someone else ask?)

And lastly - 'cause RL me still has to go to work!

Damien and Hera in the Garden

Ok, why am I awake? I'm not working Darn alarm clock on the other side of the bed!

Mo, stunning photo of the hyacinth. I love their fragrance. I really like the tiny version of them, the grape hyacinths. And that "kitty cake" is to die for!

Amara - great pix from last night. I really like the one with the planes
BTW, the frog is creepy - however, I like frogs like I like lizards to, it's a keeper for me. And the cat from last night - wow, those are some green eyes! If I ever was able to get a cat, and was choosing one to adopt those eyes alone would make me choose him/her.
Yea for Anthony Bourdain! Did you know that on that cooking website I told you about, there have been several threads where people have discussed his "hawtness" factor? Quite seriously in fact lol. Consensus always was most woman were bowled over by him and the men never seemed to understand why

Good afternoon Threaders.

I think the cat is doctored up since its from Worth - thankfully the frog has fallen off the page- and re Bourdain - I get that same huh why reaction from husband when I say Toby Keith is hwat (I think it's the whole bad boy image- Mr. Bourdain looks like he could be a whole lot of trouble!)

Happy afternoon Aeslyn.

Morning Spike- hope you are doing well, glad to see you pop in.

Hi, Spike! Nice to hear from you again Jackie

Love hyacinths! I had lots in flower all over Easter and the sunshine warmed them enough to scent the whole garden.
