You could go back and read all 3000+ pages. After you did that you would be Psilly and cross-eyed!

actually, when I first came on here, I read some of the beginning, some of the middle and... gave up. That's a lot of chatter!!!

[kareng]

That's a lot of chatter!!!

Exactly why you will be a good Psilly!

whatchoo talkin 'bout?

Is there supposed to be a theme?

The Pirate burned "a little" scrap wood in an old barebecue last night. Now it looks like an incendiary bomb hit my back yard.

[mushroom]

...And unfortunately I'd have to question the ready availability of size 11 stilettos....

Hunny!, where you bin??? There's whole stores that specialize in those kinds of things, dahlin!! Even the store in SF where I used to buy my boats had a sub-specialty... I would always be sitttin' next to some fella??? trying on strappy stilettos

Was there at least a morsel of food retrieved from the conflagration? Or was it a bonfire with s'mors?

So I saw this list of things you should and shouldn't talk about. These are the things not to talk about. I'm afraid we have been conducting this whole forum wrong! On the positive side, it appears topics like booze, sex, pirates, sex with pirates, yetis, pets, men in high heels, and in-laws are perfectly acceptable topics.

Don’t suck the fun and positive energy of conversations. Think before you talk when the subjects below are on your mind.

- Illness. -

No-one wants to hear too much about illness and bad health. It’s a downer. And people in general don’t want to reflect too much on things like: “Hmm, I wonder when I’ll get sick and how that will be”. It can put anyone in a sad and negative emotional state.

- Your crappy boss, job etc.

.

-Hard to relate to hobbies and similar subjects.

.

- Serial killers and other creepy subjects. -

An obvious one. Just like talking about illness talking about Jeffrey Dahmer, stalkers and similar subjects can make people really uncomfortable.

Edited to add: these are not the C.com rules! These are rules for conversation from some article I saw on the Internet.

dang, there goes my next new thread

(okay, note to self: ditch telling them about my recent tragic shoulder injury while learning to zip line across the back acreage so I could spy on my weird neighbor whose family members have disappeared, one by one)

Now, I'm simply too lazy to find the forum codes of conduct and read them (amazing, really, with my history on this thread that I remain on here as a member ), so I'll ask: is this really written in the rules? "No one wants to hear too much about illness and bad health"?? It "puts people in a sad and negative emotional state"??

It's a CELIAC DISEASE FORUM.

Actually, it's kind of funny.

Hon, I think she saw it somewhere else. (Not seriously about c.com.) heck, if the members here could NEVER talk about their rotten health, some people would have NOTHING to talk about.

[IrishHeart]

I wear size 8 )oh you mean my neighbor? he's always barefoot)

.... but it really was foolish of me to wear them-- and the fishnets ---while zip-lining.

But they did help break my fall.

[mushroom]

Excusez moi, but what the heck is ziplining? I'm from hicksville, remember??

I learn so darn much from my misadventures.

- Your crappy boss, job etc.

In that case, Jess should get a warning.

Vay! Yes ch'gitaem inchi maseen dux ex xosum. Hayarenem ayt dzevi accentom chen xosum.

Bah. Grouchy today. Working on the house, painting 'n' stuff. Took a break from scraping up on the roof to powerwash one of the yuckier walls. Lots of scary looking spots. The Pirate came out and started poking his knife into the boards - some of them just kind of dissolved under his fingers. :ph34r:

On the up side, guess I'll get to learn how to re-side a house.

[IrishHeart]

Holy crap! I love that hat! Can you make one for me?

[mushroom]

Sorry, it's a hijab or nothing for you, young lady.
