ifI Don't Vent This, I Am Going to Blow up

In summary, the conversation is about the increasing mean and sensitive tone on the discussion boards. The speakers are concerned about the lack of civility and the need to remember the positive aspects of the site. They also discuss the idea of being able to express opinions without fear of being attacked and the importance of sticking together as a family. One speaker mentions considering leaving the site but ultimately decides to stay for the good content and supportive members.

Here's a good one: My Mom would say to me "You want something to cry about?" I said, "Not really, but you shouldn't end your sentences with prepositions."

Dad was the one that threatened to give me something to cry about. Mom was the one that scolded me about ending sentences with prepositions.

I swam with the dolphins last year on my PC cruise in Mexico! It was awesome but also yucky (the dolphin swam by us pooping along the way). Kind of ruined the whole thing for me. DH HAD to buy the video and proudly shows it to everyone who will watch.

I AM the supervisor!!! But you won't see me again until this afternoon when my employees leave for the day!! I am still at home but have to get ready to go in. My office is so small and it is like Grand Central Station, so it's next to impossible do things like evalutions on my computer screen cuz everyone is reading over my shoulder. Hmmmmm that gave me an idea...my worst "reading over the boss' shoulder" person hasn't been evaluated yet:D I will have to do hers, leave it up on the screen and give her a bad eval.;) It's Friday, I'll get her calmed down before she leaves and she will have all weekend to either forget about it or plot against me!!
We have fun for the most part, till they make me have to act like a boss! :mad:

Ok, Mom...I think it's time you get that meat tenderizer out...impale it in the wall (like you do when the little girl scout knock on your door) and tell KG to knock it off...telling Mom that she scares away little girls. Don't talk to my Momma like this (can I go out to dinner tonight with you Momma, please, huh, huh please??)
