WHAT DO YOU DO!? Do you have a smiley page open just so you can copy and past these things? I mean really, where do you get them?!

Lol, yes, I did open another smiley page just to copy and paste them.

It's all Opa's fault, actually, I was perfectly content using the smileys provided on this board until I saw him using all those other smileys, and it got me to missing many of the other smileys on the other board I sometimes play on.

I am trusting in your ability to pick up sarcasm.

Maybe I need a special font? lol

I don't have a sarcastic bone in my body. I have no idea what you are trying to convey to me.

I GOT THE JOB!!

That's terrible news. I thought you were going to move in with me. Now who is going to clean my house?

Some time ago, I read about the idea of a sarcasm / sardonic font. It was basically a backwards italic. I think it would be a much better idea than LOL or similar overused expressions. Maybe we can pick a colour for sarcasm text. How about orange? As in, orange you taking me seriously? That would certainly work for Juise.

I am just amazed at all the hoopla about being a vegan or not being a vegan. What does it matter to anyone else how somebody choses to eat? I have always told my kids that everything we do in life is a choice. We make our choices and we live with them. But none the less they are OUR choices. So I just don't see what the big deal is. I have a friend who is a vegan and I am not. We have been friends for over 20 years.

JUISE, Back in the WA thread, there was some brouhaha over some posts last year. Sometimes I think people are TOO sensitive for their own good and take offense at the silliest things. Since yours was dismissed as not being offensive, perhaps you should just forget it; sounds like the person who reported the post is not going to be very reasonable. I read all your posts, and you sound very sensible and nice (and I know when you are teasing!)

Thanks, it is nice to know that I'm not on everyone's wrong side.

I got the notice yesterday and have been trying since to not worry about it, but you can probably count me as one of those sensitive people, though not in the easily offended way, and I have been having a difficult time letting it go. If I don't get a response to my plea for a PM I will have to just try to let it go and move on, but I had to at least try to repair any damage I've done and I hope I get the opportunity.

Hrumph.

I don't know, it couldn't possibly be you, could it?

Oh please no, not orange! Oh, my eyes!! Also, aren't you punny x2. Bah.

Well, like I said, I am not actually sure what specifically was the problem, and maybe it has nothing to do with whether or not I am vegan.

Very well said! People have their own beliefs, and it should be respected! I know many vegans who are quiet and humble, never pushing it on others. Yet many people demand that they should eat a burger to be normal. The world would be a great place, if we all accepted others and their beliefs.

It amazes me as well. It seems that far too many people want others to live as they see fit. I liken it to the Ford vs. Chevy debate or State vs. UofM; Dems vs. Repubs. The list goes on and on.

BTW, I have tattoos, drink beer and don't go to church. Am I evil? Probably!
