Sometimes, someone makes a statement along about message, say, #246 of a thread that has become so nasty that one hesitates to reply to that message. Yet, when someone like LMJ says she is sure some of the men of the group enjoyed themselves, it calls for a hearty "Absolutely!"

Now what is one to do?

Is having a boy toy wait nearly 24 hours and start a brand new thread the right way to go? Or is it just better to let everyone think she was wrong?

Hmm?

She wasn't wrong. *I* had the time of my life! Thanks, everyone.

You took the right approach -- although that thread wasn't totally bad, just parts of it.

I am so glad you had a good time. I know we all enjoyed every aspect of your performance last night. If we had a special version of the Boy Toy tag, you would most certainly have earned it.

There is only one rule regarding bumping: If it's a Jumpy thread, it's strictly forbidden. Otherwise "QFT" all you want.

Now THAT is the right attitude to have Zena! It IS all in good fun and Cee is a prize; although one might say as Granny, a booby prize of sorts
