Word For The Day, Monday

5/5/03

[Bella_Bru]

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Ok, it has been brought to my attention that some things were said somewhere else and were attributed to me and my feelings for WFTD. Originally, I was not going to be harsh, in fact I was going to apologize. Upon futher consideration though, I have decided I have nothing to apologize for. Let's take this step by step, shall we?

1. First off, I do not dislike WFTD nor do I dislike any of you. I rather do like you all quite a bit.
2. Second, I think my own thoughts, I have my own feelings. The person who I am with is NOT MY FREAKING SPOKESPERSON. Therefore, DO NOT ASSUME ANYONE ELSE'S WORDS ARE MINE. Believe it or not, even though I am female I do not rely on a male to provide my thoughts and feelings for me. People that do that are weak.
3. If you have any more ASSUMPTIONS or questions, you can FReepmail me, instead of having a FReepmail whisper-a-thon with each other, okie dokie?

Onto our WFTD.

neoterism\Ne*ot"er*ism\, noun:

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

They teach each other better, often being able to exaplin things to each other that their teacher could not.

Please, I hope you aren't a teacher in real life. "Let's have the kids teach each other while I read a romance novel."

No, I think you shouldn't post the thread because you don't have the temperament for it.

You also failed to defend the class when your pal decided to trash everybody in here, and you did nothing to set the record straight.

On top of that, you have the rocks to come in here and bitch at the very people who stood by you. Gratitude.

Every post you make without apologizing to the class just digs you in deeper.

No. "Under...." the Sea ; )

Why do I get this question about killin' bumbledbees?

(We get bunchs of carpenter bees up here, so I'll address how I kill them, but seems something like this will work....)

Get a bug spray can that can fit the tiny WD-40 type lube spray lubrication extension "pipes" in the spray dispenser.

Into the carpenter bee "nest" (drilled hole in your wood siding or exposed wood) stick the extension, and give it a fast firm squirt to get the most bang for your efforts. You need the extension to aim the spray down the hole to be effective, else it only gets the outside wet.

(Why am I thinking of hobby and xsex while describing your bees getttin' squirted?????)

The bees inside their nest (bumblebees on the ground, carpenter bees in the wood) can't turn around and fly out quickly, and they die pretty quick, so you can get them without too much danger.

For slow flying bees, clear the kids and doogs out of the area so you can squirt freely. Get a regular can of wasp and hornet spray (th ekind that shoot 15-25 feet) and squirt them as the fly around.

And tell me why I should have to apologize for something I did not say?

[hobbes1]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

[Cyber Liberty]

It's not what you didn't say as much as what you did. The diatribe at the top of this thread is what I'm talking about.

The fact remains, your silence last night spoke more than great big black and red letters this morning do.

Don't look for, or scorn, my approval. I could not conceivably care less how you stand with the class. I really don't care, outside of the fact that you pi$$ed off at least one verbivore that I know of, and happen to love.

[hobbes1]

You shouldn't.

I said at the top of my statement, which I was told by someone I should give, that I did not dislike anyone here.

I am not pissed off at your wife, if that is who you are referring to, as the one you love. I never said I was, did I?

[Bella_Bru]

Thank you.

[Cyber Liberty]

I don't care if *you* are pi$$ed at *her*.

Look, this is getting nowhere. I told you what needed telling. Take it or leave it. Your choice. Ignore what I said if you will, it is not important to me.

Nature has a way of repeating a lesson until you learn it.

[hobbes1]

Look, I wasn't here over the weekend, But, (And don't take it personally), I would assume any third hand comments attributed to you, by a third party would be more reflective of that persons attitude, unless confirmed/reiterated by you, that is what I find most perplexing about this.....

Simply, there are currently a boatload of FRbashers, that reside on other forums, and even WFTD bashers around and about, but the proof is in the pudding. If the statements were indeed accurate there would be no key turning in the AM....

[Cyber Liberty]

Key turning? I was with you until that part....

[NeoCaveman]

If the statements were indeed accurate there would be no key turning in the AM....

Exactly couldn't have said it better myself. Hey what was the pulled post?

[hobbes1]

Opening the Doors....

[hobbes1]

Beats the hell outta me....not one of mine...

[SeaDragon]

No. "Under...." the Sea ; )

Ah yes, one of my favorites...

;-)

[hobbes1]

Oh, I'm a Big Beatles fan.... "ohhhh..I'd like to be...
Under the Sea....
in Octopus' Garden.....

[Bella_Bru]

Look, this is getting nowhere.

That I will agree with you on. I am not apologizing to you, as I have no reason to. I did not make the comments on LP nor did I agree with them. I do not control what others say.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I am pretty sure the pulled post was from someone I never saw before called Rodney King the Third or something similiar and it threatened both Bella & Cyber with him "having to say it."

I thought it was funny myself, but apparently this is a laugh-free day
