FIRST, we should take others feelings into concideration.I think most of us here are Christians,Even so,The human thing is to think how your words come across.Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words may never hurt me. IS a lie.Words kill all the time,They distroy sprits,Break morale.They hurt.People kill them selves over words.

I work in a prison,I take care of my Brother,I get on the computer because its fun.I get on the board because my friends are here.So what if everyone is mushy and sweet. If we all bawl our eyes out when someones duck dies.Becoming hard is not a good thing.I let my self get hard.It took my mothers death to break down the walls I built.IT is no ones job to toughen up others.

The people on this board barly knew me.Yet when I fell, Everyone offerd me help.From Arizona to new york!! I got calls and still do from worried family.Thats how I feel !we are a family.

I like LQ, but you are wrong,Wrong to have posted .Wrong to have posted in the way you did. Yes Jason put a fake tree in his duck yard,It was a mistake,Kitty said it nicly, You pounded it home.I have not seen J post sence.Yes I told J we should not post to each other.We seem to rankle one another.But hes a kid,Kids Are kids not adults.Lori, has become a special friend,We use yahoo and talk, Her kids are number 1 in her life.Shes a very careing person.With a gentle sprit.I do not and i am not protecting her.Im objecting to its ok to post and say how you feel with out thinking how it looks ,or makes ALL of us feel.If we can not bad mouth TPC,how is it we can each other???? If your a hard person thats you and its not a blessing!! the rest of us are not.ALL of us have a nich here.WE just need to think,before we post.I worked in the service industry for years,I dispise those people who talk down to cooks, and waite people,Who think that they can say and act how they feel.I have seen so many tears in my life time.Im sick of it.And I wont stand for it eather. This is how im relating to these lasts posts.There are no door mats here. Im with susie on this.I have enough at work and home to stress and cause me grief.I will not stick around and watch people i like Hurt or be hurt.Like susie,im here cause i like it well love the folks,not cause i have too.If we are to become like TPC yes i said it!!!! TPC TPC . .. . than im out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Everyone touches somebody we leave an imprint on each other we have power to make or break a sprit just by words.I did streest ministries this is a truth, check it out, read some books. Thats it all im saying.SPING is comming I have a huge yard and dog run.I can get a few quackers or maybe sneak in a pair of geese!! They help me forget,That im alone,Help me forget the prison job.Help me forget things i want to forget. I was going to fix all my mis-spelled words but their are to many ,so tell me to go back to school lol

Let's not sweat the small stuff, ok?

I missed the fake tree controversy - damn! I must have fallen asleep at the forum wheel.

Now don't put down the entire forum because of one person's post, ok? You don't want to bring down morale and interest here, do you?

Just say you don't agree and move on. If there is an ongoing continuing negative trend to someone's posts this will become evident with time and then something should be done about it. But let's be "Christian" for now and give each other the benefit of the doubt and say, "Well, maybe he/she had a bad day and his/her attitude was less than kind today but we'll see how it is in the next few weeks" and let it go at that.

So get off the flame board and back on the regular board. Go look at the page of Rose Parade Float pictures I made, ok?

Abby

is.And yes i did with jason,I decided it was best to move on.I dont believe ive done anything to the forum negetivly.

 

Now you said mister "I don't like the turn the forum has taken" (or something to that effect). Really you don't like a particular person's posts, right? Because the forum itself has been supportive, fun, enlightening, inspirational, educational, and entertaining as always, correct? remember what the Osmonds said:

"One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl!"

Abby

I care about both people,involved.and i dont like it. It hurts, it tastes bad and reads bad.We all have problems.The forum should be a place to be uplifted not cutting.We areclose enough to each other now when you cut one of us we all bleed

I emailed privately again to LQ with how I felt about her last post. Whether or not it remains private is her choice.

Bottom line is, i think she was out of line with Lori and then...with me. I am not an argumentive person. I am here because I love my ducks and like to meet with other folks who do too. Why are some people trying to justify what Sonja said-or more importantly, HOW she said it. I don't consider her attitude "calling a spade a spade" I consider it rude and unnecessary. Now let's call it what it really is, and move on.

i am glad you are my friend.You are a beautiful person,Thow strange,Keeping a baby in the house for petes sake!! get another goose.But one bad apple does spoil the whole bunch.a rotted apple will distroy a case very fast. But I dont consider LQ to be a bad apple.But what she did and how she said it was.I dont dislike anyone on this board,I have growen to love these people.This just made me feel too much like i was back on tpc.Maybe this board has gotten to important to me.I have few friends out side this board. I work take care of my brother and scoves.The board is my fun and up lifting.WE have been attacked by tpc but never have we been so near to feeling like being there.And everyone says its ok move on.Its not ok.its never ok to hurt some one.I dont want anyone ever to tell me to over look the cutting remarks take the good and go on.The cutting remarks make ALL of it wrong.I shouldnt be the only one to see this.How many people did i see get ripped on tpc,sniggerd at while the cutter was patted on the back by groupies.Again this should have been stopped at the first post.But it wasnt.This is how i feel, I dont want to be here for awhile,I think I was wrong about things,about the board,about how we felt about each other.If i am i dont need to be here any more than tpc.

Just wanted to say hi and let you know I read your post and not much more to add. I think this horse is beaten to a pulp LOL.

Abby

........and QUIET ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!
