WWWW12345,Because I know you are soooo visual this is what tink was thinking...

Quoting wwww12345: Tink, I am a speed reader, only picking out the key words. Is this what you said? dumbed down brain , strong summer look, child case, why thinking has left. If these are not the key words I stand corrected.

Quoting Tinkerbelle: Thanks Pat but you only have to look at the response I got on the summer blog to see why im thinking of leaving. Im not a child but a strong woman with a brain and i wont be dumbed down I rest my case

Ill give you a list of names Britt. I hear they are all secret drinkers.... slipping neat gin into their tea while clacking their needles  together judging the rest of us LOl sounds like a party to me!

Quoting Brittany2012 Hey Tink, Would you please let me know how to contact the "Knitting Circle"?  I hear they have a "Knitting Circle Happy Hour" going on daily--I think they may be doing more than "Knitt-Pickin'" on here.  Rumor has it the "Soft Porn" group is wanting to team up with them--how absurd is that? Soft Porn, Alcohol & Sharp needles sure sounds like trouble to me. Thanks, Britt

Quoting Brittany2012:

Quoting Tinkerbelle Your diligence and selflesness has been duly noted Cg. Im passing all pictures of you to the knitting circle for approval. Even given the coldness of the water and its subsequent effects we are sure never to see them.... mores the pity ... we could have done with the laugh

Quoting Conyersguy Tink, As an incurable male, I have a very reasonable solution to the blog staleness. If each of you ladies will just post one nude picture on here (of yourself....had to say that before Tink sent those of me that went viral in the Tivoli fountain last spring. Hey, you critics, that water was COLD !!!!) and just ask two female friends each to do the same, I promise to check them first thing every morning and last thing every night. Its a thankless job, but I stand eternally willing to help my fellow mankind in this manner. :) -CG-

Hey friends!  I just checked in after a bit of time away to find...what??? A compelling blog topic? Lively, energetic, and attended to by some of my favorite bloggers?  Could it be??
 
Really, I can speak for myself only, of course, but my workload has picked up tremendously.  No, no time or energy left to "date".  And if I did magically encounter "the one", what do I have to offer?  I don't say that with self-deprecation, just a realistic assessment of my life as it is today.
 
BUT, on the occasion lately when I have checked in to MM for a little R&R, I have found the postings rarely worth the energy to sit in front of my computer, where I work ALL day long, to respond, my brain empty of original and pertinent thought, and so often not moved by what I am reading. 
 
When there are exceptions to this, I have encountered a certain technical annoyance that inhibits my posting.  I have said this before, but sometimes when I'm in the world, in a waiting room somewhere, I enjoy reading the blogs on my Blackberry, but for some reason, (beware: complaint), am unable to post here from the BB.  Interestingly, before I was a paying member, the app works differently, and I could.  This seemingly minor glitch has me just gone most of the time these days, since when I'm not shouldering some responsibility of other, often the last thing I want to do is stare at a computer, after 50 and 60 hour work-weeks, school, board meetings, more school, numbers, papers, crunching, learning, being a self-supporting single mom, the time left is precious and beach or live music, even NASCAR, is more compelling.
 
Oh, and I have to say, Tink is right, if that were not enough, some knitting club nonsense has simply flavored my experience here.

Quoting SassnClass:

What lovely words of encouragement!  We both enjoy each other's insights all wrapped up in the wonderful topics selected by fellow MM bloggers.
This is why I continue to stay on this site! Now that they have the online chat room feature, we need to rally our friends and get on there one night!!!

Quoting Curious2078 Thank you, Sweetie.  That comment means a lot to me.  I often feel--for no reason anyone can be blamed for but me--that I'm not contributing much of anything worth a single hoot in a hootenanny.    Thanks so much for posting your remark.  You're a lovely treasure around here.  A most intelligent voice of reason whenever that's needed.  And, I for sure, often need a voice of reason to temper my thinking AND my remarks.  I always pay close attention to anything you post!!!!!!!   I hope you're having a wonderful weekend....and I hope your life is moving along gloriously.   Pat

B oo just re check the Summer blog. I Despair. Is this drivel what we want to be reading? That and the attitude of  the hall monitors is a bit too much. I had to check my birth certificate to remind myself of my age, [I was thinking I was back at school] and then to recheck my names as Ive been given a few new ones .
Perversely I am still laughing about it. So much fuss.... so little content

Hell--I thought I just posted a reply to you on this one, Tink.  But it ain't showing up.  Knowing what kind of day I had---very, very bad---I think I might have posted my comment on the wrong blog!!!?????
 
LOLOLOL  Leave it to me!!!!!!!!  When I goof, I always goof BIG.
 
The remark I can't find on here that I thought I posted here:  TINK, YOU CAN'T BE DUMBED DOWN.  That is not possible.  No matter what anyone says in response to anything you've posted---YOU can't be dumbed down.
 
Miss Dee is clearly not up to the standards established by THE LIMP!!!!!!!!  The woman hasn't a clue.....  Witticisms give and take....she's just not up for it, my friend. 
 
More in a few minutes, Tink....

Quoting Curious2078:

Keep watching on here, friend.  Just keep on watching for a few days.  We have tons of illiterates on here....but we have a fine, fine, fine group of folks who can write rings around any English teacher you want to put us up against....
 
Just keep on watching....and reading....

Quoting AliciaWonderland I just joined and so far I haven't seen many people who can even write basic English let alone actual good writers. There are writers on here? Where? I like dating writers...

Quoting SassnClass LOL. A clear call to arms that we must step up our game. I for one have been lax and too busy enjoying Mike's, Pat's and Sophia's entries. I also agree with Tink. I thought blogs were supposed to provide perspective, inspire, challenge and entice people to contribute to a particular topic. It has been a long time indeed. It's time to get back to basics for a much needed seachange! MM bloggers are taking note :). Sass

Quoting Curious2078:

SASS:  Thank you for that comment about enjoying my, among others, posts.  Like so many, it seems, I've been straining like crazy to be a trifle above the inane....

Quoting Curious2078:

Good God, Tink----don't YOU think of leaving!!!!!!!!!!!!  I forbid it!!!!!!!!!!! 
 
Without you, my friend, a major spark, a vital piece of the spirit of these blogs would disappear.  I'm afraid we'd all be at sea without you as our anchor!!!
 
You're kinda the keel that keeps the ship upright and moving forward!!!!!!! [To change metaphors mid-stream....]
You are the adrenalin--the fuel--that drives this engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!  If you go away-----holy s**t.  I don't even want to THINK about the consequences!!!!

Quoting Curious2078:

It's summer, folks.  Whadda want? 
 
Yeah, some of the old guard, ones that I came in on the tail end of their runs here, are, it seems gone forever....and I miss quite a few of them most heartily!!!
 
But give it a chance, guys.  Just wait until it's too cold to spend evenings on the patio or the lanai....too dark too early to be taking late evening walks under the setting sun.... 
 
Even those of us most interesting folks--you CG, and Tink, and Shaz and the rest of us--[can't include Deke in that list; he's been busier than a lone white tail stag during rutting season in a forest full of in-estros does]--even us....we....  We're having trouble in these last, lazy days of August coming up with Smart Blogs.
 
Truth be told, I've been thinking the same thing about the blogs you have, CG.  But I sure wasn't complain about it publicly when I myself had not one really interesting blog to put up to relieve the boredom.   Kind of a "put up or shut up" situation, eh what?
 
So get cracking, CG!!!!   What's interesting and stimulating down your way, huh?????????  Why don't YOU give us some relief from the BOREDOM???????
 
LOLOLOLOL
