You know the sad part is that I have no problem with a contrarian or someone who calls it like they see it. My line is rudeness. Name calling dips too far into that rudeness line. There are far better ways to get a point across than falling back to Name calling.

In this case in specific I found myself getting irritated enough to want to say things that would be rude. It has been building for awhile this was just the straw that made me realize it is time to take myself out of the equation.

not too very long after i joined ECF, i got called out for name-calling in a PM by ECF member "racehorse"

she was absolutely correct, and to this day, i regret the idiotic thing i said. and i admire her for many reasons.

it's an easy thing for many of us to fall into. perhaps i've become more immune/tolerant because i know for sure that i have definitely crossed the line.

i don't see that anyone here has crossed the line that i crossed, but, of course, ymmv

OK, think I'll take a nap now! Got worn out just lookin'.




Off with our heads...

BTW, said member has basically shoved your opinion up your lower portal!



Although Willie and many others may not have directly confronted/challenged you here, I would suggest that you're quite familiar with that family situation and haven't gotten over it. Your vulnerability is all too obvious to the porch majority; not that it matters to you. BUT, it does revel your self-staunch inflexibility and major lack of of any humor other than your own.



And obviously neither do you (see Classy's post)!



Oh my, a self imposed porch martyr! Shame??? Don't think you have any idea...



Goodness, you really must be special. Either that or they finally got tired of your self-pontification. Fortunately, our porches are mostly comprised of loving, down-to-earth and tolerant individuals that come here for enjoyment and camaraderie, not judgement by a self appointed 'god' (gasp...)!



Damnit, sure fooled most of us (OK, I predict that's permission fer ya to rant on)...

Dave,

We do truly appreciate your genial contributions and generosity on da porches. But, why do you need to talk/post down to our fellow porchers and generate controversy?



And I don't like vinegar!!!




Thank you!





And thank you, Gary!
Thanks, Iffy. Couldn't have said it better. And Gary nailed it too.

For some reason old broad this is the second time you've posted a media link and it doesn't show up in my browser. But if I quote your post it shows up in the quote box.

that happens to me any time someone posts a link/pic/video hosted by Facebook.

i think it's due to a browser "security" setting, but i've been to lazy to even try to troubleshoot it

Ohmageeeezzzz !!

What is that ??

It's a German cake called Dobas Torte. The recipe has been passed down from my Grandmother on my Mother's side. It's a multi layer cake usually 10-12 layers, sandwiched between thin layers of butter-cream icing. The outside is the same icing but w/ more chocolate/cocao in the mix to make it darker. Then pour melted sugar on top which hardens to a caramelized topping.

It has zero calories because it's a special holiday cake.

There was some dissent as to whether or not the Pope actually was the one to say this......It doesn't really matter who stated it originally....:)
