Random Conversation

[whikle]

I have identical twins in my class. I used to be able to tell them apart by their teeth, but they've both lost baby teeth and their adult teeth have grown back IDENTICALLY. So there goes that trick.. So my usual routine is to call out one of their names in the morning and see which one responds, then remember what each one is wearing.

Well, these particular boys have been wearing the same clothes all week (not the same as each other, they just haven't changed their clothes since Monday - yes, that's pretty standard at my school!) so I was telling them apart easily.

Today they rocked up at school and had swapped their entire outfits with each other. It was so confusing, I couldn't get it right all day!





So... uhhh... that seemed like an amusing story in my head, but now that I've written it down it seems to have lost its spark.

Carry on. :smt069

ESPY......YOU ARE MISSED..........:smt056

:smt051Espy is a wonderful, thoughtful, and beautiful lady! Miss you!!

Come back soon Espy.

espy...you're just not around any more...!!! come back...!!! thank you for the rep and the same could be said for you...!!!!

Thank you ESPY for the rep.. Im glad you are around but please post! We miss you!

So I have to ask again, where is Espy?
Has she changed her name? Left? What's the dealio? I miss her posts!

I heard from her by email. She has a lot going on lately. I hope she comes back when things calm down.

Send her our love. I miss her posts a lot. :smt049

been wondering the same thing, could speculate - temporary leave of abscence, perhaps?

Jaisee squared.

I miss Espy.

I miss all y'all too!

Thank you Jordan for pointing these out to me, it's rude to ignore folks, but I hadn't seen most of these posts. I do still check the forum, but honestly it's hard to read and not reply, so I've been reading less and less each day.

I love most of y'all here, but the forum atmosphere overall has changed since I joined, and I just feel that if I can't add something positive then I need to keep my mouth shut. Were I posting, much of what I would post would amount to nothing more than arguing with people, so I'm just confining my opinions to rep for now. We seem to have lost some notable members lately, at least several of the people who I personally enjoy have not been posting much lately, if at all, and I do think that it affects the forum as a whole when we lose balanced people with valuable insight... Karma, Smooth, Christine, Loki, Kimbo to name but a few. But I see some veterans returning... Intrigued, Athena, Curley, Mama, Jaisee... and they help to balance things back out.

We also have a number of new people, and hopefully they'll find a home here and contribute in positive ways, sadly some clearly are not going to do that and it's those people that I have an issue with. My personality is such that I will not make even the barest attempt to be pleasant to people who are unpleasant towards people I care about, regardless of how pleasant they are to me. I detest bullies, and people who play passive-aggressive games, online and off, I simply have no use and no patience for those types, and unfortunately we have a few of those types here at the moment. I think it's just part of the ebb and flow around here, so right now I'm just going to continue to hold my tongue and keep my non-PC opinions to myself. Those who know me know that I'm a fan of speaking your mind, and I do that frequently, however I always strive to do so in the least offensive manner possible because I see no value to upsetting, hurting, or generally pissing people off for sport. I think highly of many of you and the last thing I'd want to do is offend you intentionally, so I'm just going to stick with 'if you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all'. Doesn't mean I don't love and miss you guys though.


(and now people are thinking 'damn with that attitude, I'm glad she's not posting. :smt042)

Seriously though, I feel you, I just wrote something of the same principal.

 

[Morning Star]

Story of my life...

It started off VERY tiresome due to my lack of sleep. And then in the middle of the day and there on, two events occurred:

1) I was invited by an acquaintance (Nigerian) and his friend (Ghanaian) and were generous enough to pay for the buffet meals. Suddenly, when they asked me about whether I go to church and what I believe, it seems like their personalities grew less positive towards me and basically saw me as a distant person or a pariah per se. They are part of that fundamentalist wing that try and convince you that you're wrong in your beliefs by cornering you completely. I wasn't prepared for it at all, but I gave them a taste of what I'm capable of and held my own.

And to add insult to the whole debacle, when I shook the guy's hand and the lady's again as we departed, they were...weak. The handshake was a "wet noodle" and prior to that, they were much more firm than before. I'm sure if I labeled myself as some believer, they wouldn't react that way with me. So, that whole time I paid no mind since then because I was tired. Which lead to my time driving home...

2) I went to the store to guy some new clothes and try them out. And when I went to the checkout line, this young lady (whom I remember from a while back when I last shopped there) saw me and had a big smile on her face. It seems like she's either hyped up on coffee or just real happy to see me. We had a small conversation together and it was about pretty much her day. Now, she helped me with the price making it lower, which is good. And at the end when I went to my car to put my stuff in there, I noticed that I didn't get any bags to put my stuff in there. So, I rushed back and got some bags and put the clothes in there. And then I noticed my receipt has a smiley face on it, courtesy of her.

Story of my life...

Fuck balance and fuck all the over sensative posters on here. I love your pov and wish you would post more. Don't back out because some people are incapable of agreeing to disagree. Bottom line I want your sexy ass back here. A king ain't shit without his queen.

You waged a smear campaign when I first joined this forum claiming that I was an angry black woman. You claim to have used data gathered at the Web Administration level to pursue my identity; and you're foul-mouthed. But yet you claim "victim" status?

 

[Espy]

Good Lord the shear and massive amount of stupidity that some people possess, it is quite literally frightening.

I'm going to take your ignorant, immature ass off ignore for one moment to make a point.

Saying something doesn't make it true. I know it works for politicians, but only with people too stupid to know better.

There isn't a single shred of truth to anything you've posted here, but then that's usually the case with you. I did not wage anything against you, because frankly you aren't worth the time. As I've previously stated your delusions of grandeur are as amusing as your persecution complexes. I also have never claimed to pursue your identity, again you aren't worth the time. And lastly I have never claimed 'victim' status, nor will I. That post was not addressed to you, it was addressed to the people here whom I like and consider friends, you and I both know that is not you. So perhaps you should ask yourself why you cannot simply ignore me as I have been doing with you? Why do you feel the need to address me at all, when I've made it abundantly clear that I have no interest in you whatsoever.

You are one of those members that I don't wish to have any type of interaction with, hence placing you on ignore. The reason for that is that you bring nothing of merit to the forum IMO, and that is solely my opinion mind you. There are people here who are pleasant to you, I will never be one of them. You're an ass, you're suspect at best, you lack objectivity and clarity on a vast number of things, and you are woefully immature... hence I have no interest in you. I won't pretend to like you, I won't even attempt to play nice for the sake of anyone else's comfort. So do yourself a favor and put me on ignore as well, as you clearly have some type of impulse control issue that prohibits you from talking to me or about me, even in the complete absence of any form of provocation.

For the people I love, it's nice of you to point out when someone's being a rude, inappropriate, lying ass, but that only forces me to read their crap. So in the future I'm fine with leaving them on ignore and not knowing, but thank you for the thought, it truly means a lot. :smt058

BA - you're my hero. I had no idea you were so sexy & a genius too. I might have to fight Tarshi for your affections or maybe you'll run away with me. Tarshi's harem is large that maybe she'll spare one man for her friend. lol :smt004

can you really blame a gal for tryin'? after all, we all know about the fabulousness of BA... :smt055 :smt055 :smt055

Only one way to settle this, y'all, jelly wrestling match.

I have identical twins in my class. I used to be able to tell them apart by their teeth, but they've both lost baby teeth and their adult teeth have grown back IDENTICALLY. So there goes that trick.. So my usual routine is to call out one of their names in the morning and see which one responds, then remember what each one is wearing.

Well, these particular boys have been wearing the same clothes all week (not the same as each other, they just haven't changed their clothes since Monday - yes, that's pretty standard at my school!) so I was telling them apart easily.

Today they rocked up at school and had swapped their entire outfits with each other. It was so confusing, I couldn't get it right all day!





So... uhhh... that seemed like an amusing story in my head, but now that I've written it down it seems to have lost its spark.

Carry on.

I didn't even know twins still dressed identically. Holy shit. :smt081

In third grade, my teacher got my friend and I confused. We were both black and have four letter names starting with the same letter....but he was taller than me. I was like "what the fuck?"

EDIT: I just re-read it. They've been wearing the same pair of clothes all week? The hell? There were a couple people I remember from high school that wore the exact same thing every single day of the school year. I don't know how their money situation was though, so I can't really say anything, but if they did have the money....what the fuck?

My dear Espy,

it is strange to post again, but I am shocked about your words, because I see and can feel, what stands behind them. I know you so different, always positive, funny.I assume I made a mistake and I want to say that I am sorry about it. It was really not my intention to hurt you or to leave you or the forum behind. You are right about balance- and we -Karma, Smooth, Loki and Kimbo (just to mention a few), "left you alone" with that problem.
Or differently said, my personal anger about some people here was more important to me than my friendship and support to you.You are right, I deleted all of my profile- just left my email adress, if someone of my friends here would need me, but I checked weekly, how the people I appreciate are doing.

It is true that I have a lot of serious problems at the moment, but to write a post here and there is of course possible, always.

I am a person, who wants to write about my personal experiences, my life, my happiness and my mistakes. And I want to talk with people, who tell me the same about them. I want to listen to different opinions and want to learn from others, maybe, in the best case others can learn from me -too. What I am absolutly not interested in is lies, illusions and bla bla, or people who find their happiness in attacking others. That is and will always be ineffective, senseless and simply ridiculous for me.I also will never fight with them, I learnt that I just loose time with them- it´s better I go my way and they go their ways.

We have threads about prejudice, stereotypes, but how many people here don´t understand that they are doing exactly that- here- every day. I am leaving to Sibiria, you hear from me, as soon as I am back.

Oh Christine, no apology needed from you ever, there is nothing but love for you here. Your reasons for not being active on the forum are your own, as mine are my own. I understand what you mean, and I know how you feel. Sometimes you just need to take a break, but it doesn't mean you abandon anyone, we're all adults here and we can hold our own, we just miss the people who bring wisdom to counteract the ignorance, and sunshine to illuminate the darkness... and that's what you and the others that I mentioned do. Take care, and I left my email in a rep message for you.


Oh and thank you FG, but you know this is an occasion for that smilie we talked about.

 

[Anten7]

You didn't show me any of the positive attributes you supposedly possess. You got a bug up your ass and assumed that I was an angry black woman. I told you that you were fucking up in my eyes - you didn't care. You are a liar and a fucking moron. Fuck you Espy... really... fuck you...
