Yes, apparently I'm not allowed to make a comment in "good humour" either... my apologies as well Violet.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:Many apologies.violet wrote:Fine. Keep your boring forum.

Nb Sorry violet, I just stumbled onto that and just couldn't resist. All in good humour, obviouslyOde to a Violet
Oh, little violet in my lawn,
Gee, how I wish that you were gone!
I strive to grow a carpet green
In which no weed nor blossom's seen.
You don't belong among these blades
Of grass...move to some place with shades
'Neath tree or bush, by rocks and rills,
Where passing strollers leap with thrills
When they spy your purple hue.
And gush aloud with "Ahhh!" and "Ooh!"
Come spring, I pray you'll not say "Hey,
I'm here again! Have a nice day!"
How you intrude, you wedge in so
That in your spot my grass can't grow!
Wish I could kill your kith and kin
And make of you a true has-been!
'Tis true, wee flower, shy and coy
You are State Flower of Illinois,
but seeing how you spit out seed
to me I class you as a weed!
Yes, fellow, I am not impressed,
Knowing how I must invest
In "goo" that will deweed the space
Except for your 'Can't-hurt-me" face!
You do thrust out your tongue and thrive,
And stay defiantly alive!
But, years ago, this wasn't thus,
For when I saw you, how I'd fuss!
I sang to you when but a kid.
I loved the way you shyly hid.
I shrieked with you to see your hue,
Where midst the concrete cracks you grew.
When young, I'd bunch you in a vase
And sketch your petaled purple face.
I plucked your blooms and whiffed your smell,
And pinned you to my coat lapel...
But that was long before I grew
This lawn that made a home for you,
Where you and all your progeny
Advanced like soldiers, daringly!
But, now I'm old...my lawn I prize,
I see it "green" my neighbor's eyes.
I use my waning energy
Defying your persistency,
As I get down on aching knees
And use old-fashioned elbow grease
to pry you and your heart out loose
and shout with glee...OUT, FIEND,
VAMOOSE

I am sorry. I can’t tell if the apology (unasked for and unrequired) is genuine or disingenious. Your words are all I have to go on. So when a person says ‘legitimate question’ in a post I take them seriously. Just like when I use ‘seriously’ in a post, i intend it to be taken seriously. Back peddling much?Miguelito wrote:How did asking how many people went for the drink up turn into the above post in 7 minutes (plus one post in between)?violet wrote:I was talking with someone recently about guys having extra matital sex here. His view is that it is Cambodia and it is what they know/expect although it is not discussed. My view is that it needs to be on the table that you may do so at some point otherwise it is plain not ok. One thing I only thought of saying after the conversation is....if it is so 'not ok' to have thar conversation with your spouse then you know the behaviour is not ok. There is no other way to cut that reality either. The only reason that conversation doesn't occur is because it does not allow the self serving behaviour to continue.
Edwardo has been making me laugh lately as well. But this is a legitimate question. Do I get an apology in that thread now?Edwardo wrote:Why would the person who started a "what kind of new forum owner would not have a drink-up..." thread then not attend that very event?

I believe it was in good humour. But still the forum has become too much hard work recently..logos wrote:Enough already with the bitchin' and blamin' !
Here's a little poetry chosen at random to lighten the mood
