Hi, Gila! It's truly a pleasure to meet you, and I hope you'll be happy spending time with us here on the boards. Since you've already been reading the threads, I'm sure you've got a pretty good idea of what goes on, and the personalities you'll be interacting with.
It won't always be a pleasant experience, I fear, but you'll never be bored!
Welcome!
Vicki

Every day you should learn a new word.
Today's word is poltergeist.
poltergeist (noun) : a ghost that announces its presence with rapping and the creation of disorder
Most effective when said in a clear and concise voice while smiling.

Ok, I know I don't post often but you guys are cracking me up! I guess because I am a teacher I think this is funny.It reminds of the first day of class when a sub comes in to tell the class they are replacing Ms. So and So for the rest of the year.Then all the students have to tell who is good, who is bad, and of course there is always the Eddie Haskel character kissing up.Too Funny!

Hi Gila,
Welcome aboard!
Real freedom is doing nothing all day and then resting afterwards.

Well dip my hiney in a vat of cherry jello! How did this turn into the "get behind Beth" thread?
Linda, you have devised the perfect HELL for Ken...you're a regular Martha Stewart.
It's a good thing...Beth

Edited to remark that the smiley slams aren't as funny as some may think.

Earl- OH MY!
Vicki- I didn't make a jab. I put them up and then edited them out, because 1) they are being overdone by a poster and 2) there's been enough fun had with them tonight and to put them in my post would look like I was inflaming the situation, so they are gone.
edited for clarification

I apologize if I over did it with the 'smilies'....
Just had to get them out of my system. Normally don't use them, and I guess I was trying to make a point without attacking.
my bad, forgiven?

Not a slap on the hand, gang, but things were starting to get nasty again. I'd just like to see a thread that wasn't laced with sarcasm, once in a while. Please forgive me if I came off sounding like a you know what. It's just that I care about you all too much to sit back and watch it all begin again.
Mark - Thanks, Rhyno man!
Toollady - No forgiveness necessary, sweetie! I hope you understood my post for what it was meant to be.

Welcome Gila!
You'll find out that AW is as fun as the circus, just don't poke the tiger or walk behind the elephant.
(or you'll step in this  )
Beth, I'm on my way over. Picked up a deli tray and two sixes of Sam Adams!

Hi Gila!
Welcome!
As I mentioned to Bob - I sincerely hope that this board will not become so strictly and stringently moderated as to become as dull and dry as a popcorn fart.
I would not want to be in your shoes for all the tea in China.
Good luck! Hope you will take us all with a grain of salt!

I'd just like to see a thread that wasn't laced with sarcasm, once in a while.
Vicki: There are hundreds of threads open for discussion here at AW. The people that were interacting here were not only enjoying themselves, but they are all adults and perfectly capable of self moderating their own behaviors. If they get out of line, the moderator should step in.
Please Vicki. If something disturbs you then why not just try closing the thread and going to a different one. Please.

Vicki-
I agree with you. But I'm sure we all realize that some take actions that are intended solely to goad people and provoke reactions--sarcasm may sometimes be a safer way of reacting without attacking. I hope that the new moderator will be more aware of the things that are obviously done just to needle people so that the instigator can cry insult. And hopefully the new TOS will apply to that too. The intentional disruptions need to stop, as much as the slinging and bickering.
Goodnight everyone...
~Mark

I'm sorry, Aurorah, but I'd like to stay and post here. I just don't have to sit by and watch others have fun at someone else's expense. I have a voice, and I'll speak where I please.

And I had both a mother and a domineering controlling ex husband Vicki. I miss the first terribly, but don't need reminders of the second. Kindly refrain from attempting to modify my behavior in the future, ok? If you find you have a problem with me, please do us both a favor and either email me or take it to the moderator.
