If I could have muted that bratty 10 year old I was watching she would still be here :) Everyone who came over said can't you put that girl on MUTE???

I was laughing so hard at Ann's comments too. I have bad habit of blurting out stuff before thinking. Like the time someone said Oh Meredith so you were married to ex blah blah, I know with his ex girlfriend ( this goes way back to high school when he was dating both of us) and I said oh I know her, the skanky one with herpes, that is why they broke up and I proceeded to ramble on. Current DH was like will you SHUT UP. Note to self....... don't drink and talk :)

We are SO alike!!!! Are you my sister?! I am laughing my butt off!! My boyfriend has gone as far as to put his hand over my mouth b/c I was saying WAY TOO much!!!

DH does that to me all the time. When we go out, he says now Meredith remember watch what you say ( especially if he knows alcohol is going to be involved). I don't mean to, it just happens. I never say anything bad about my friends and people I like, just people I don't like and have been mean to me ( doesn't matter if they are someone elses friend~ ha ha~oops) He told his cousin to stick close to me in Chicago in the evenings to make sure I don't say or do anythng stupid since he can't be there. with me :)
I am beginning to think I am related to a few people on this thread. Kacey and I have decided that we are long lost sisters as well, maybe we should start a long lost sisters club :)

I'm dreading the day a Cheffer introduces themself to me in real life and I blurt out, "Oh. I don't know you that well because you're on my ignore list." :rolleyes: And it would be just like me to stick my foot in my mouth like that.



LOL!!

I don't have too many people on my list, those I do don't post too much anyways.
 
lol I know the feeling my hubby does the same I sometimes wonder if he does it for my sake or for his lol I know what you mean about the long lost sister club i feel the same away about a few of them on here

Which is why I'm scared to go to a MnG :) I would fear showing up and people saying "Who's GeorgiaPeach? We don't remember any of your posts." Kinda like being the unpopular kid at school.

I feel that way when I look at someone's profile and they have 25 friends...and I only have 2 :o

Wow...sounds like I need therapy!:eek:

They say the best way to make friends is to stalk them!!
(I sent you a friendship request, you seem pretty cool to me)
 
Lisa,
I'd ask you to be my friend but haven't had the time to figure it out I'm like you I have 2 & I hope I did it right to accept them. By the time my life settles down enough to do it Greg will change it all up again like the stripper star colors :)
 
That's o.k., I don't have any friends! :cry:

Just make sure you figure it out before you try...I'd hate to be put on your ignore list by accident :)

BTW...I have just doubled my friends! :D Woo Hoo...nothing like a desperate sounding post to get people to take pity on you! LOL!
 
lol shawna I be your friend :) then if you wanna try the iggy button you can? lol
 
See I would never put any one on ignore 'cuz I'd want to antagonize them back!!
 
lmao
you crack me up teresa love your humor

Let's just hope Greg doesn't add a feature that shows us who put us on ignore! Not sure I could handle that!
 
lol that could open up another can of worms right there.
 
So if someone's on your ignore list, do you not see any of their posts at all? Or a big blank over a post, or a missing post # in the thread?

You guys are so funny. :) I just saw this thread and was curious to what's up.

I wouldn't want to ignore someone unless they were really bugging me. I'm just so nosey, I guess I like to know what controversies are going on. :) lol

You see the burgundy bar above their post with the text "This post is hidden because Moronica Dimwitz in on your ignore list" and there's a link to view the post (in case you're dying of curiosity).

And the iggy list is a function of the forum software. I'm sure the developers are too smart to implement a feature that would allow users to see who had them on ignore. That would just start too much trouble.
 
I just added you to my friends list Lisa :)

Truth is there are so many people on here that it's hard to remember everyone.

Oh my goodness...good thing I wasn't taking a drink of my tea when I read that one Ann!!:love::love:
 
HA moronica dimwitz~~ you slay me Ann :)


You all can be my friends :) except for Moronica Dimwitz :) ha ha
 
My question is why isnt that person gone yet?? So many complaints from so many of us!! I saw what was going on last night---and it was just ugly.

I hope Greg sees the "bad vibe" that one sends out!
 
Oh man, I missed it! Someone PM and tell me where to look!

I'd remember you, because YOU'RE the one that got me in trouble yesterday! :p:D LOL!!! I'm totally kidding...

I too would worry about saying something that should have been kept in my head. :)
 
Linda....you don't want to do that to yourself...........it is really not good to rehash crap when it happens! PM me if you really must know!

As for the the "ignore" button, just be prepared to see ignored posts if someone quotes them....they come up then!

Oh, Ann, you really should have put a "go pee before you read this" disclaimer on that one....I asked Kacey to do that sometime back because I would be reading one of her posts, laugh and then....well, TMI on the rest!
 
I can't take credit for that - it's the name KG uses in the same situation. :)And I must have missed the "excitement", too. Unless the people involved are already on my iggy list (and there are about 18 on my iggy list, although most don't post much any more).
 
Okay, I got the PM about it. Yep, I missed it and since I now know who said it I don't 'need' to go look for it either!
