<p>Bless you all! I’ll be back tomorrow with more love.</p>
<p>LoremIpsum,</p>
<p>no, the message doesn’t end up on their page. But, you may want to practice with something innocent til you are comfortable. </p>
<p>And, I have been trying to randomly spread the love here, you guys have made me laugh so hard the past couple of days.</p>
<p>My youngest is graduating from UG this year. Oldest is in year one of law school. So I guess I have no business on CC but I like food, current events, and I am a fairly educated person with a good sense of humor. I don’t need know stinking green boxes to figure out who vibes with that. It’s a whole nother group of friends to add to my IRL crew.</p>
<p>OK. Thanks, folks, for the real Facebook messaging insights!</p>
<p>Moon child, I really liked your post about feeling like the kindergarten kid. I am saying it here.</p>
<p>I can’t believe CC did this, tbh. Another forum I’m on did it as an April Fools joke because they foresaw the inevitable trainwreck it would become if seriously used.</p>
<p>My plan…no plan…earn 'em the hard way! But it has livened up the board (at least for the parents…I fear the kids think we are crazy.) But I was glad to see Lenitus turn green…the red was slightly fearful.</p>
<p>One square is the new two squares. Three squares? So yesterday.</p>
<p>Green squares are the new black.</p>
<p>Ha! I just added to OP’s reputation…</p>
<p>Sigh. I’m always too late to the party. Are we really going to care. I mean, I know who on this thread has good advice and who doesn’t.</p>
<p>
I do! I do! I just saw this last night. :eek: I’m trying to get this damnable thing behind the barn so I can kill it. With an ax.</p>
<p>“I’m on a mission. From God.” @ Blues Brothers. </p>
<p>I heard from a mod or 3 that an “opt out” might be in the works by admin. It can’t come soon enough.</p>
<p>I quit the forum for a day over this. Then I just decided to play along and have fun for a few days with it, since I seem unable to leave CC without missing you guys.</p>
<p>I don’t care about it, anymore. A few times a month, there is a comment I wish I could “like” and that is all.</p>
<p>Curmudgeon, in the absence of elimination, it is better that posters like you have many green tiles to alert the newcomer to your sage advice. ;)</p>
<p>Good luck on your Odyssey.</p>
<p>Curm. I couldn’t agree more. That’s why I started this thread. Forget that axe. Bringing the chainsaw.</p>
<p>Hahaha curmudgeon …I considered going on a "blanket curmudgeon with reps " crusade when I first saw this… Good thing I don’t follow through on most of my great ideas!</p>
<p>That said, I have always wanted to be able to judge advice based on how darn much money some posters have. The poster with the shore/ mountain house and fat retirement portfolio is working with a much different set of resources than many others are. Little green dollar signs would be helpful. …and we would know who to p.m. for fast cash. That would actually be useful.</p>
<p>People were just having a little fun with it and took it in a totally different direction than it was intended. Agree that it will have a short shelf life, and if you quit bumping it up 'mudge, it will probably fade to page 10…</p>
<p>curmudgeon - I am sorry that you appear to be accumulating LGS against your will. There’s nothing like taking a stand against something only to be thrust into ‘jewel in the rough’ status. I will respect your wishes and not add to your reputation.</p>
<p>Now I can see that even my virutal friends are more popular than me and have closer friends. Sob. 
:p</p>
<p>Gee, didn’t know we are supposed to be “liking” one another. Fascinating!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>poetgrl, I was so going there …but you had beat me to it. Grrrr. (;)) So I had to go this way instead. And anyway, everybody thought I had already quit. What’s the fun in that? </p>
<p>Take it behind the barn and kill it with an ax. Whose line am I butchering, O’Rourke’s? About the Omnibus Farm Bill? It’s still a good line.</p>
