Humor HWC reward/Bra strap what's the difference?

janetupnorth

I would wear a pink lanyard as a reward, but not as a bra.

Obviously I was out during the fun and missed the exchange. ...got quoted with the rest of you for doing what's best, but obviously someone doesn't read dates/times or understand the biz. DEFINITELY doesn't understand lanyards...

CS is a great place, those who don't like it are those who have other issues. Cheaters never prosper and if you have to constantly defend what you do, obviously you need to look and see what you are doing wrong.

So, move on, nothing to see here...





Except, thanks Greg for what you do here...

LOL Janet!!
I second that CS is a wonderful place!!!

what did I miss?

Nothing to worry about, just a riled up person misquoting a few people and mixing up a lanyard as a bad bra strap. Which, in my stressed out flurry of activities this week struck me as quite funny and couldn't resist commenting on that. I guess one of our members is more endowed than we thought if she needs a 2" wide bra strap!

ChefBeckyD

I thought that was hilarious!

Interesting to note the one person who has been a CS member who is sympathizing, also...

colegrovet

my back hurts thinking about it!!! OMG!!!

pampcheflisa

I noticed that too.....

janetupnorth

I'm chuckling too...actually a lanyard isn't THAT wide, but they are usually an inch and definitely thicker than a bra strap!

Maybe we should send some HWC lanyards off to that lady with the 38 triple K's...

The_Kitchen_Guy

Let me go on record here in saying that I would do the same, although, the places I would wear the lanyard are also limited.

Oh goodness it seems I have missed something again! Sounds funny though

You know, to be honest guys, I think she has a little bit of a point. Not that I condone any violations, especially once they've been done, but I have to admit that seeing some of the comments that she's posted (and yes, I did read the original thread), some of them are pretty childish, petty and nasty, and IMO just unnecessary... It seems to me that she did respond and try to put her site out of violation, and it is bit sad to me, this to see the vitriol aimed at this one person. Honestly, her responses to the posts actually seem pretty straighforward and reasonable to me... And again, IMO, I think to anyone "out there" reading them, alot of you come off WAY worse than she does... Just think about how you may have come off to the many people who visit this site but aren't regular posters... I would be pretty turned off by some of the nastiness. And reading the string of comments left on her site, I honestly agree with most of them...

Aren't there worse things out there to get upset about. I guess we need to remember that there is a real person out there, and treat her like a human being, like you would if you saw her in person.

Again, all of this is just my opinion...

Annie - I'm not defending us (we probably did get a little too carried away). But our comments were made AFTER she was informed of the rules and AFTER she started getting nasty herself (that's what riled us up - her blatent flaunting of her perception of the rules and what she thought they should be)...she failed to mention that in her postings.

The_Kitchen_Guy

You shouldda been here a couple of years ago.

janetupnorth

That was bad...seriously, I created this just to joke about lanyards and bra straps not to get back into whatever transpired on that thread.

I stayed away from it 99% of the time and STILL got quoted! But I standby what I said...let HO deal with it. That's what they are their for. I'd rather have them address me than another consultant I don't know. I don't condone nasty either way.

So, back to joking or I'll just lock this thread...no need to revisit the issue.

AnnieBee

But I don't see what wrong with her saying how she interpreted the rules, when in the end after it was pointed out clearly the violations she put everything in compliance.

Anyway, my point was, alot of people from here came off looking way worse than her, and I think it is worth everyone taking a look at themselves...

And honestly, if anyone of you feels at all bad/regrets their comments, I would suggest contacting her with an apology. It never hurts to be the bigger person...

I know not everyone here thinks this way, and yes, it's almost a cliche, but WWJD?

And sorry Janet, I felt this was all important to say. I don't/didn't feel that I can just let the comments go without saying how they made me feel.

The_Kitchen_Guy

Good. I don't want anyone thinking I'd ever wear a bra. (Well, I suppose I could turn it around and use it to hold up my shoulder blades.)

janetupnorth

Thanks for the laugh - again!

A pink jock strap...now that's a site...

A thong, well that would be wrong...



But heh, if Annie's husband can wear a bra to NASA, why can't you wear one to NC?

The_Kitchen_Guy

The pink shirt is bad enough, thanks.

If a guy has a pink jock, it's because he tossed it into the wash with his Wisconsin sweatshirt.

janetupnorth

I'd deal with a short diversion - just don't want the thread to about it since Greg locked the other for a reason.

I think Linda's concern was that she was quoting all, misinterpreting many and pasted them in a progression SHE chose. Times and dates were stated in comparison to when she did things. Most were right during the time when she was flaming PC on that blog. She then turned nice and "whoa is me" and corrected some. There are 3 sides to every story and the readers won't see that. It tries to make CS and Greg look bad when it shouldn't.

She has a right to free-speech but quoted a lot of "well-intended" posts wrong and attacked people who had the best intentions and weren't being mean.

Toss it in with a GB one and you'll be ready for St. Patrick's Day.

Didn't you have a nice pink hat too?
