2. I really think we're just cycling through a "phase"...High DRAMA!
Something to click on!!! Then we'll be back to normal. Kind of like how everyone pauses to stare at a car wreck. :hug:

I'm still here. ;) I'm still the same. I will not be cliqued. OOPs, how'd that get in there? :bounce:

Called the democratic party? :shrug:

But I'm glad you're the same. Grumpy as always. :silly:

Edited on Tue May-17-05 12:30 PM by Revolutionary_Acts04
But I'm afraid to say things.



It's not a feeling I enjoy, but it's something that I've delt with a lot. Ever since I started, but now it's worse. So I just keep my mouth shut... so to speak.

59. Say whatever you want
It's what your friends think of you that's important - but never as important as what you think of yourself!

7. Things only change if the people change .
I don't see a lot of differences. Keep being yourself and enjoy the folks here. Sometimes some things change for the better too.


I like it here :)

19. It goes through cycles
Remember what a grim and gloomy place it was right after the election? It seemed like it would never get back to its (ab)normal state. But it did.

This too shall pass. :hug:

I haven't seen much in the way of flaming here - just a lot of silly ding-dongery (the g-rated kind).

31. It's all because of the death of Dupie.
When Dupe was around, this was a happy place. Dupe brought joy to all the Lounge Lizards.

Everything's falling apart now that Dupie is gone, it just ain't the same. Folks are turning on one another without little Dupie around to make 'em smile.

45. It's not supposed to be the same.
It's inhabited by people who have their ups and downs. Unfortunately some of those people can be not so nice to others at times. But then new people come along and personalities here change yet again. This is just a cross-section of life.

no doubt about that. But I don't know how you prevent that. People are people. All I try to do is enjoy those that ARE here. Like you. And of the two people who are gone surely there are other ways to interact with them other than here, like other boards or email?
