i have been on this board for around four years.
at first i took what went on here quite seriously, well for about three weeks, but it then became quite obvious to me that the depth of role-playing that went on on these boards was so deep-rooted that it would be a foolish waste of time to do anything more than to read some of the more informative threads and delegate the rest to entertainment.
i hope narkissos forgives me for quoting something that he wrote yesterday, but his thought clearly encapuslates the reason why it is foolish to presume that you know, or will ever know the person who is posting by what they write, and why judgments on a persons character are more than often fatally flawed.
do you think that many of us take what goes on here *far* too seriously?
Cant speak for anyone else, but personally I dont see a reason to present myself as anything other that what I am (wife, mother of 4, black, overweight, slightly shy, not bad looking but no great beauty, silly sense of humor at time, totally in love with her husband, etc).
I havent noticed anyone else playing role games or maybe I'm not that swift to spot it. Could be I wasnt even looking.

as i was taking my shower this morning i was musing about certain posts i had read the day before.
the one about the tampons just tickled me to no end.
crazy stuff people will do to enforce whatever crazy ideas they have about human sexuality.
I'd rather be hired because I was the best at what I do rather than to fill a quota.

announced our circuit overseer last night in his talk about the urgency to preach because of the times.
followed by a silence that was broken with ohhhs and ahhhs.
he said that a couple of times throughout his part, simulating a beating heart with his fist.
That was downright sick and disgusting!

have any of you had experiences like this?.
last weekend, i was at a friend's social.
i was outside smoking and conversing with two other ladies.
Most times when I am driving in my car I have my children with me. If someone acts like an asshole and cuts me off or drives too close to my tail or something else silly I'm not of a mind to provoke the other person by letting them know my displeasure. As long as nothing happened and no one got hurt I'm not going there. Cutting someone off, flipping the bird, rolling down my window and making verbal contact just doesnt make sense in this age of road rage. People are getting killed over stupid stuff like this. Even when I dont have my kids in the car, I dont act any different. This is not a wimp way out. This is being mature and wise.

since leaving the jws and joining my current company i get asked every six months to give blood.
i've never done it and still feel as if i had an accident i would be very reluctant to have a transfusion.. if its not too personal can i ask what others views are on this and your experiences if any?.

Every day, NMDP donor centers and recruitment groups work to recruit more donors to diversify the Registry. American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Black and African American, Hispanic and Latino, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and multiple-race patients face a greater challenge in finding a match than White patients.
I suggest that anyone, if they can, especially if they are people of color, to sign up as a blood marrow donor. It can save a life.

dragonlady,
no it was not a "move on" issue. I think you need to read all of the posts again. I have no problem with CW, her post just brought out something that i currently live with everyday.
it is not a move on issue.
if someone is gonna act racist towards me and mine not because of something i did just because of the color of my skin how can i move on from that? i can ignore it but how do i protect my kids other than telling then they are more that just niggers? i cant protect my kids forever.
how would you feel if someone treated your little kids that way? do you know how to tell a child that the reason why you cant play with johnny down the street is cuz his parents dont like black folks?
tell me how do you move on from what you cant control other that trying to be the best person you can be?

P.S. i've been on the internet a long time and i do know that all caps is shouting. if you look closely this is lower case. i have seen bigger fonts than this on this board and no i am not a loud black person, if you ever meet me you will be surprised at how quiet i really am.
