A Public Service Announcement.

It looks like cake, it smells like cake, THE CAKE IS A LIE!

Please stop taking the bait people, there is plenty of room in the DB for these forums for as many threads as needed by MBV fans of all communication levels. There is plenty of juice to go around at MBV. Let there be as many threads as needed for this wonderful elixir.

A Public Service Announcement.

Disclaimer: No Dustys were intentionally harmed in this post, this specific Dusty was used only as an example.

Sorry I used you :(

There was no bait for me to take, I just posted how I feel and will do so again when and if the mood strikes me! So, if someone wishes to equate my response as taking bait so be it, I was posting on a situation that I see all too often and one I feel needs to be addressed in a manner befitting the circumstances of the post. Having fun is a great thing, however there are some issues that I do not find to be ones that should be taken lightly. It may be time for me to take a break, I have my issues like everyone else and there are times when one can overreact and I would hate to get to that point.

I haven't tried it Macaroni or I would have responded. I did see the post but if I can't help then I just stay silent. All I could have added is "No idea". :( I do still read all the posts. If I miss a post or ten it is usually because I have switched from the laptop to a tablet or to my phone and some got skipped trying to find my place again.

Also, I'll be honest here and say I have been less inclined to respond as much because it appears I might be part of the problem. I have yet to return to purely a lurk mode but it is coming. I don't want to be the problem.

I want you to stay and participate.
Case closed.

I don't think that's quite fair. IF I know the answer I reply, if not I go on.
And I'm pretty sure that's the way the others do it too.
So ........
But I'M SICK of the animosity and dividing line drawn in the sand here.
Just go on and do what we do, no?
I think it's tactless of 'them' coming over here and posting posts that
bawl us out for any comments we make about 'them'. I think it's
stoopid of any of us to compare the two threads.
I also personally feel a thread JUST about juice will not last long.
IF we let it die. Otherwise they'll just post to spite us.

Seriously, why are we still even talking about this?? (Sorry miss molly, not directly to you, I just wasn't going to quote dozens & dozens of posts)

You remind me of Kathy Bates from the Titanic. Beautiful, refreshing, smart, and have a great no nonsense attitude. :) I love your posts and contributions. And you can dish it out as well as you can take it which I find perfectly fantastic!!! :D

I haven't really seen any posts on here from "them" balling "us" out ... just thought it would be a fun experiment to see if "their" reluctance to contribute on this thread and "their" need to start a no fun thread was warranted. As it turns out ... maybe a post or two or three gets lost in the background .... maybe the rapid pace of the back and forth patter intimidates someone new to the thread ... I don't know .... it seems to me "we" are friendly enough everybody (except Uncle Ralphie and Butch) that "they" shouldn't be shy to speak up a second or third time to be heard over the chatter ... but I DO understand why some may have felt the need to start that second thread ... and I still think it's funny no one responded in that thread either.

Thank you. I look forward to your posts too.
I'm a scorpio I don't take $hi-. But I can dish it out. :vapor:
I don't take this forum seriously enough I guess. Why worry about
'competition'? Just plug along and be yourselves.

Uh, That was meant more along the lines of everyone perpetuating this silly thing that is going on. It wasn't meant specifically at you.

I can see where some people are taking things a bit too seriously. I mean really it is another thread about MBV juice, who cares? Everyone is allowed their opinions.

I do not know that there is anything to address, it is just people being people. Your post was well stated, you got the point across, many people having been doing that over and over again for the last week. Granted not as eloquently as you.

I did not mean to offend, was making light of a silly thing that is going on.

*goes back to squirrels*

Let's quit concernin' ourselves with the other thread, there's room for more than 1 sandbox. If any of us feel our help and answers aren't appreciated then we have the option of not posting there, it's really that simple. Most of the helpful posts have come from the regulars on this thread ironically enough...

Unfortunately I'm havin' a hard time postin' from where I'm at so I'm not in the position to go into great detail or debate...

You missed some posts then.
Occasionally a wanderer comes over here and posts bawling us out.

Yeah, I did, it lasted all of 1 week, then the client dropped the service, so that left me an 36 other oow again! :evil:

Finding employment in Florida is probably the most difficult task anyone faces. Florida has an influx of population ranging in the 300,000 to 400,000 people yearly, and only about half of those people are retirees (who are more a drain on Florida's economy than anything else because they are notoriously cheap. The only market that flourishes is real estate). Probably about a quarter of that influx is people moving to central florida to have their "dream" job of working for Disney World, and a lot of those fail within the first year and end up in poverty.

FLorida is not an easy place to find work. As bad as it is everywhere else, it is worse there. Dusty will find something eventually but if the rest of the country is waiting 6 months for something to come up, it can take longer in Florida. A lot of people who were born and raised there are being forced out by the retirees coming in and jacking up real estate prices, but not really contributing to the rest of the economy in any meaningful way, so it is tough and Dusty is doing an awesome job hanging in there and not giving up. Lesser people might have admitted defeat and left. You Go Girl! :D Clownfish.
