AMJ Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 This is not a good enough reason to start something that is not finished. Yes, it is. Sometimes the unfinished masterpieces must be appreciated for what they are. Go watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 My angst is whether to homeschool high school or not. All things school are angst for said daughter, whether homeschool or not. My teen would agree with your teen. *big sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 No, someone accidently posted 3 times. It was a phone glitch. I did ask if they were sure they just didn't want to start another 100+ thread. They didn't answer. Well, too bad for them, then. Maybe they were just afraid they couldn't compete! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 The goodbye thread that went poof. That was a good one. I missed it. I did a search for it, and it was all red and wouldn't allow me in to read it.

AMJ Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Um. NO. We already have a theme song. And it's not creepy. No, this is the new WELCOMING theme song, the one we sing when welcoming newbies in. The main theme song is our Anthem, and must be sung at every moment of import. Don't worry, we will teach the newbies the appropriate times for both songs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Well it is in the TOC that swan songs are not allowed. For those that didn't know Luanne changed a thread she made early in May to be a good bye thread with a post about being done with this board. It morphed into a random fun thread (I only read the first page last night and then went to bed so not sure exactly what all went on in it. But because it was titled good bye with the swan song post the mods poofed it. I never replied in that thread because the only thing that came to mind was "don't let the door hitcha...."

Gentlemommy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 My kids aren't aloowed to have noisy toys either. 😳 Well, it's not that I actually forbid them, but I won't buy them. I have sensory issues with noise. But then again, my kids are weird and don't play with toys much. We have all the open ended things, but they just rarely play with them. They play in the woods and creek most of the time. They are allowed up to an hour of screen time per day. We don't always use that much, sometimes we are just too busy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I love toys. I had toys long before I was married and had kids. I mean, as an adult, not going back to childhood. We had noisy toys and quiet toys and open ended toys and not so open ended (though my kids always seemed to make them open ended anyway). I have a hard time getting rid of toys because they have such good memories of such good times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemommy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I like toys as well! I can't get rid of the dollhouse and the barn and the little kitchen set because they mean so much to me! The kids have rarely played with them. 😔 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I killed it. No, it got deleted? Got deleted because swan songs are against board rules. So sad, though! I count that thread amongst my best top ten work here. The one linked earlier about coffee is in there, too, but that was witty satire. The Goodbye thread was all silliness. I had them all writing in hashtags. My evil twin was on there playing with me. It was a dream come true. :D 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing the OPs general sensibilities I would assume she'd be majorly upset with a drinking game on her turf.

Knowing the OPs general sensibilities I would assume she'd be majorly upset with a drinking game on her turf. And yet the whole thread was the equivalent of kilts - a way of diffusing tensions and making things silly. This is my specialty. Think of me as Mr. Fox (played by Harvey Keitel) on Pulp Fiction who came in to clean up the dead bodies. I have one job, and I'm really good at it. ;) (I usually have mixed feelings about most things, but I am a really good silly diffuser so one has to operate in one's giftings, no?)
