<p>LOL, I have to admit that threads like that tickle my funny bone. Make mine a single malt. :)</p>
<p>You guys-- I really, REALLY appreciate the support and the booze, and the booze, and the booze… Some of you delicately dipped your toes into that ascerbic thread (and I thank you) but any and all help, especially when someone is launching a frontal assault is greatly, greatly appreciated, even if just to take the load off for a few minutes. Certainly support is greatly appreciated, but redirecting is helpful as well. The dance in the ring o’ rattlers and cow dung is a wild one, thats for sure!</p>
<p>wow, not even safe here…how sad is that…</p>
<p>i thought this thread was a sanctuary…guess not…I left the other thread…</p>
<p>calling me a reptile here is just uncalled for…not to mention cow dung comment</p>
<p>I am just really disappointed</p>
<p>but not suprised at all</p>
<p>ciao…</p>
<p>This is a place where everyone is NICE to each other. Everyone is welcome to come in for a drink and some R&R, but attitude should be checked at the door.</p>
<p>seems not…I was called names here…and I just wanted to come in for respite…but how can I when I am made fun of in a mean way?</p>
<p>too bad…its all yours</p>
<p>Please stop this . We are all talking in generalities about the experience, not about the personalities- no one is calling anyone anything. There sure is a lot of overpersonalizing of comments here, there and everywhere, where it doesnt belong. Sorry but it really ISNT about you. Please get over that.</p>
<p>“The dance in the ring o’ rattlers and cow dung is a wild one, thats for sure!”</p>
<p>I never would have said that about your posts on this thread, ever…but hey, go for it</p>
<p>I shouldn’t be afriad to come to this thread, but I am…you have ruined it…your choice not mine</p>
<p>To the others before this thread got personal towards me…cheers…and to those that feel the need to carry that thread to here with very direct jabs at me…what can I say…adios</p>
<p>One last attempt to clarify. This is a place where we are playful, and bounce off of each others comments. One person made one analogy, which led to another and another… then an analogy which included a summary of the previous ones (I know this is hard do follow but I am purposely being general so words dont get twisted). Sorry if this is harsh but its not about you. Please get past that, and stop placing blame where it doesnt belong. Now, enough already. If you feel you must continue in here, you will be shadow boxing-- I wont be in there with you. Have fun.</p>
<p>CGM- it seems a little grandiose to personalize these comments. None of us are THAT important! Chill. Have a drink.</p>
<p>To the posters who appreciate this thread for what it is…thank you and enjpy happy hour…sorry to put a damper on the festivities…but just not the place for me for awhile…</p>
<p>have a cosmo on me…or champagne…my drink of choice…as I have much to be joyous about…</p>
<p>off to meet our next Congressional Representative with horses douvres…and watch the Cal Supreme Court on tv…that is my idea of shear heaven</p>
<p>Well, giddyup, then ;)</p>
<p><em>Alumother bustles in wearing a saloon girl outfit. That in and of itself ought to drop so many jaws that not another word of discord can be voiced</em></p>
<p>“Now jist you don’t git yer knickers in a twist all y’all…”</p>
<p>*Alumother’s western saloon girl recently immigrated from, um North London?</p>
<p>Do they have knickers in the West?</p>
<p>I can honestly say I don’t know or care about the other thread in question. I come in here to avoid the threads I choose not to participate in: morals, politics, religion, etc.</p>
<p>If you have insights to offer on chicken buckets, marmots, duct tape, crazy Nevada neighbors,T…SFH, Burning Man, etc. please share. </p>
<p>If want to use this venue to continue sniping from another thread, take it outside.</p>
<p>Thanks, m&sdad,
Couldn’t have said it better myself (wait… I did say it myself… in post 10,165;) )</p>
<p>‘britches’, Alumother, ‘britches’! ;)</p>
<p>btw…I’ll have a margarita with a splash of Sangria if you all don’t mind. Things are really, really wild here in Texas. Gonna be a long night watching those election results.</p>
<p>Um…</p>
<p>Yeeeee haw???</p>
<p>ok. well, if we’re playing cowboys, I’m in. I’ve lived in OK and TX and I’m wearing my chaps. and unlike some females at bike week in Daytona, I have something on under mine. 
margarita - lots of salt.
I’ve been known to send it back if there’s not enough salt on the rim . . .</p>
<p>Now that you mention it…jym, GIT Back into that house and put some britches on under those chaps!!!</p>
<p>astro-
Are you confusing me with Brittney Spears??? (that would be scary…)</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>That’s right–if ya’ll wanna fight, take it outdoors. Inside these here swinging doors is nuthin but Re-Lax-Ation!</p>
<p>Helped along by booze, hot tubs, Naugahyde Barcaloungers, gourmet snacks, and good music. Some of us are doing the Texas two-step, and it has nuthin to do with politics.</p>
<p>Even cgm got the drift of our cowboy jokes, I see…“horse douvres”…good one!</p>
