On the front porch
Laughing and crying all at once
She has no idea the vodka belongs on the shelf
Orange juice beside the milk
It is the same front porch
That whispered baseball calls
To my bedroom window
As I peered down enticed
In time, now stumbling forward
Often infused by the same mixture
I recall her laughter was not quite right
And mine often sounds the same
From the front porch I forgive
As any good lesson I read
And now in her face reflected
The moment that I returned
p.s. in the never-ending battle to match wits.

«Oldest ‹Older 4001 – 4200 of 4709 Newer› Newest»My girl is starting to widen her food preferences, she at least tries things, she actually asked to try an oyster kilpatrick the other night!
but any speck of green is like it must be poison!
Annie is getting a little better in that area too. She still mostly lives off of bread, nutella, and string cheese though.
They're a year and a day apart, Carrie!
My sister was overdue. They had to induce labor. I must say, it was not a pretty thing to see. She was in so much pain. She's one of those natural childbirth people and insisted I be in the room with her.
O_O
I had to leave after 2 hours! The nurse sort of insisted. They thought I might pass out. I'm not good at watching others in pain.
And what is in an oyster kilpatrick?
Yeah, Wendy, I was a total yeller, which made me so embarassed. They say you forget the pain. Me, not so much! I was soooooo happy for drugs. That day was surreal, I remember the Dad from the Brady Bunch died, because I was kinda watching tv in between contractions.
kids idea of food
oysters with chopped bacon and Worcester sauce and ketchup mixed on top and grilled
It's the only way I like them
Jake hasn't broken any vases yet. His last big fun was chewing up my comic book shipment.
Ergo: I think I should probably take Reeko off my bed and put him on my dresser. Better safe than sorry! I hope he's not frightened by all my wolves! ;)
Well, I'm off for a bit. Thanks, everyone!
I hope you all have a fun night/day!
Goodnight Carrie, Ergo, Elena, Sweetcheeks, TJ, Amy (if she shows up), DW, SS, Mayo, anons, watchers, lurkers.
Sweet dreams to one and all!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

PS: TJ, I'll check for those kitty pictures later!
Dang, that sounds good. I actually like fried oysters, even though they sorta look like fried boogers.
*runs back in when she notices links*
:D I'll check now and then be off!
*blows kisses*
TJ: They are all adorable!!!! Sumi is precious; but, I must admit, I have a soft spot for that black and white kitty(ies). They remind me of my Patches!
Thanks TJ!!!!
Night Wendy!
i deleted it, wendy -- the clicky link did something weird, i've never had one do that before. i'll try again, sorry!
oh, i'm glad you saw them! good night wendy!
carrie it is nice, you can do it yourself really easily have a go!
I'm sure he'll be fine wendy, aussie guys are tough!
*smooch*
TJ: They worked for me. They just saved the pictures to my photo program. I knew you wouldn't give me a virus. ;)
I now have your sister's kitties saved on my computer.
*blows more kisses*
Goodnight, again, all!!!!
i'm glad you liked them then, wendy, since you now own them! :)
good night!
Goodnight sugarplum. I'm off to go rest for a bit. Last night I didn't say my goodnights because I fell asleep. Oops.
So in case I don't come back, goodnight and sweet dreams guys.
Night BC
Sweet dreams
goodnight and sweet dreams for when you retire BC
good night bc (just in case). :)
ok! kitty piccies, take #2! these aren't the best quality pics, as me and my camera are very slow and the kittens are very fast, but i hope you like them. :)
willa, teddy, domino, mama's boy
sumi
sumi, taking a momentary break from eating me alive
Night Bc
I got the pics the first time TJ, those kittens are of the cute.
*stumbles in the door on stiff legs*
Well, at least I didn't eat any gnats tonight.
-A
aren't they, carrie? i seriously want to put sumi in my pocket and take her back with me.
Hey there bike legs!
hehe they are so cute! I like domino's face
hi amyranth! look at my patented super-restorative kitten pics, just above you!
Yeah, TJ, kittens make me have grabby hands.
he has a little half-mustache and a goatee ergo. i thought they should have named him "gomez".
hi amy!
is the bike riding getting easier?
how far do you ride?
carrie, i hadn't actually experienced the close-quarter effect of kittens since i was a kid myself. i adopted my cat when she was 8 months old, so these little guys pretty much swooped me off my feet!
i was holding one (sumi, actually) up against my chest, and she sleepily reached up and put her paw on my collarbone, and purred. i looked up at my sister, and she said "yep. you just melted."
lol true! i did!
Hey Amy
Teej, I'm about read to bike down there and snag those kittens!
Ergo, sorta yes and sorta no. Once I'm on, it's not so bad, but my arse HURTS!
Hallo Carrie!
-A is tired.
Hallo Elena! How's it going?
-A
lol i'll tell my sister to expect you, then, amyranth. she can have a gatorade ready for you!
Oh yeah, the kitten melty. Gho$t is really sweet, with the crawly into bed and putting paws on face. And he's equal opportunity too, or maybe he's just a whore. He has cuddled up and spent the night with everyone in the family though. I think he's just trying to get more catnip though. :)
I think cats know that ploy, it's all a plot to take over mankind with cute!
Hazel and Merlot have reached the "we're little bastards, and proud of it" age. I never did get to see them as kittens.
-A
Going to bed, night guys.
I'm okay, Amy. Just kinda sitting here thinking about shit. One of those nights I guess.
good night carrie. sweet furry dreams. :)
Night Carrie
Night Carrie!
Elena, much the same. Kinda hungry, so I'm debating on what to eat for supper.
-A
goodnight Carrie sweet dreams
Amy go for pasta.
Hey I'm gonna take off. I've got my Halloween Nightdance comics to read.
Thanks for being here guys.
amyranth, is it true you can't carry your own drink from table to table in calgary bars?
goodnight elena enjoy the comics!
good night elena. have fun.
:)
Mayo
Have you ever said something to someone that was really hurtful? I mean something that you knew would cut them to the core? Have you done that in anger? And if you did, did you really mean it? Okay this is stupid. Pretty soon this is going to sound like one of those conversations I have with the girls sometimes. You know the “I have this friend” conversations. Like I don’t know they are talking about themselves. I’ll just say it. I’m sitting here in shock. I have never had anyone say something that hurt me so bad before. I’ve never intentionally said anything to hurt him. Never. And yeah, I’ve been mad enough and I may have thought some mean things but I’ve never said them.
Shit, just forget it. Stupid to even bring this up. I don’t know why I’m shocked at all. Just another push towards the edge. I’m getting a lot of those lately. I feel like I’m standing on the edge but instead of looking down I’m just gonna spread my arms, hold my breath and wait. I won’t lean foreword I’ll just wait for the final push. It won’t be my actions that finally free me but it will be freedom all the same.
Well damn that all sounds really bad. It’s really not meant to sound that way. I’m just tired of being pushed away, I’m tired of feeling hurt. Change is in the air. Maybe not soon but I can feel it. I just don’t know what that change will be. But something’s gotta give.
Shut up now Elena. See I’m gonna listen to myself. Hey, at least someone is listening to me.
Night Mayo
Elena (just waiting)
you could try this
l tried this
elena stay strong, though it's hard, and you know I'm here if you need me
there's more than one person listening to you, elena. you're always heard.
1;27 oh my! did the brioche turn out like the pic? It looks soooo yummy!!
The first two times it came out a bit too doughy. Then I realized it was could be the type of flour l was using so l switched to a "stronger" one and it came out perfect :)
ah like bread, I'll have to try it, thank you!
I'm making cupcakes at the moment
what kind? and why?
and can i lick the frosting bowl when you're done?
Teej, uh.. no. Not from any time I've ever been in a bar.
But then again, it depends on how many drinks you've had, I guess!
-A
Tj - vanilla
- because we felt like it
- only if you can beat my daughter to it :)
that's weird, amyranth. my folks were telling me about this bar they were in one year when they went up to the stampede, and the waitress wouldn't let them carry their drinks when they changed tables.
they were playing with the yanks, huh?
ergo
+ yum
+ the best reason evah!
+ i am bigger than her... ;)
that would be an odd rule
maybe she was having a lend of them
Teej, how long ago was that?
-A
it is an odd rule, i couldn't figure out the reasoning behind it.
amyranth, i'm thinking...late 80's/early'90's?
Hmmm.. May have just been the bar too. Also, if they hadn't paid the bill yet, the waitress may have been worried that they'd take off on her.
I don't frequent the bars here, not even during Stampede. Way too many people.
-A
amy that could be
I haven't heard of it here but I could see that'd be a reason
TJ did your parents look particularly shifty in the 80's?
I bought a lady bird badge today, just because.
And it made me feel so much better about life.
I hope you're all well.
xoxo cupcake
Hallo Cupcake!
I had a ladybug catch a ride partway home with me on Tuesday.
-A
lol ergo, oh yes. they were the very image of depraved criminals. ;)
in truth, they didn't frequent bars much, so it probably was just that they were noobs. i'm not gonna tell them. *shhh*
hello cupcake. :)
hello cupcake!
ladybirds are so pretty
Hi Amy!
Aww, how cute! When I was still living in the tropical state of Queensland, there was a bush in our front yard, covered with small flowers all year round, and ladybugs loved it. There'd be hundreds of them clustered on it, I used to sit and watch them for hours on summer days.
if you come to australia I promise I won't do anything like that
*coughdropbearscough*
Hi TJ, Ergo, how are you guys?
Don't worry Teej. Everyone looked a little odd in the 80's.
Except Carrie. She was HAWT.
-A
you guys are all making me giggle, even when i don't know why. :)
I'm good cuppy darlin' how are you?
I am interesting.... haha
And also I must run!
Just wanted to pop in.
xoxo cupcake
well, it was good to see you cupcake. :)
ok take care, nice to see you and have a good (rest of the ) weekend
i need to go too, i'm starting to doze at the keyboard. not good. waffle face.
good night everyone. sweet dreams. happy cupcake making ergo. :)
mayo,
this evening i was remembering that when i was first divorced i had the fool card from the tarot up in my devotional space. it was a reminder to always say "yes" to adventures, a reminder that it's okay to enjoy not knowing exactly where you are going, even if that's over a cliff.
a good thing to remember.
i hope that tomorrow you say yes to all the adventures that fall in your path, even if they are tiny ones. i hope that you'll look up at the sky and ignore where your feet are taking you, ignore the little yapping nay-sayers at your heels. i hope that your day is a day filled with creativity, and that what you create you love.
good night, friend. sweet dreams.

Good morning/afternoon/evening Mayo, SS, Ergo, BC/Sweetcheeks, TJ, FASC, Possum, Lewis, Miranth; various anons, watchers and lurkers; all you majestic (thanks Ergo) creatures in the land o'blogbelieve!
How are all this morning? Happy, well and planning to do something you love (with someone you love) today, I hope!
It does not appear much has happened since I left last night. So, I shall just leave a pop quiz for BC and the usual morning stuff to consider!
First things first:
SWEETCHEEKS, I hope you are prepared! ;)
1) How are you feeling today?
2) What did you eat for breakfast?
3) What did your precious bunny eat for breakfast?
4) Do you still plan on going to Target today?
6) Did you dream of a certain butcher boy or a green shirted drummer last night?
7) Name the CoF song these lyrics were taken from:
"Cold was my soul
Untold was the pain
I faced when you left me
A rose in the rain"
8) Name the character Dani Filth played in the move "Cradle Of Fear".
9) What's your favorite CoF song?
10) Did you enjoy this quiz?
And, for 616 bonus points:
What is Dani Filth's real name/the name he was given at birth?
*hopes she likes this quiz*
Submitted for everyones pondering consideration today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Juggle Balls
Written by the CEO of Coca-Cola:
"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
How?
1. Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
2. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
3. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
4. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
5. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
6. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us each together.
7. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
8. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
9. Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
10. Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
11. Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
12. Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even a Pepsi drinker (such as myself) should be able to appreciate those 12 suggestions!
Have a great day, everyone!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Hi PJ, Andrea, PPU, Andi, Loli, Anima and Kass!
*runs back in after finding a true classic to share*
The best and hottest onstage kiss EVER (nice crotch grab too)!
Ain't no doubt about we were doubley blessed 'cause we were barely 17 and we were barely dressed
*abovementioned kiss begins at 3:54*
:D
Okay, I'm off now.....
*blows kisses (not nearly as hot as that one, though)*
Mayo,
Yep, it's me. What? I never said that I was leaving forever and ever and always, just that I was taking a break. Hoping that maybe things would calm down in here, but today, for whatever reason, reasons unknown if you will, or known maybe, I'm thinking about you. Wondering how you are and hoping that you are well. Feeling the need to come and tell you that your presence and your words are missed.
Your blog still seems to be in a state of unrest so I won't disturb it any further.
Just wanted you to know.
Just felt like you should know.
Until next time....
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Betcha knew that already.
(Fuck, I'm still working on the best question ever.)
The girl in that video 616 posted looks like LynZ. Except with less makeup, a light of intelligence in her eyes, musical talent and I can't see her meat-flaps.
Happy to see you sdock. Hope to see you more and more.
Feeling the need to come and tell you that your presence and your words are missed.
You're wasting your time. He doesn't care.
Fair Weather Friend

Never speak for others.
Exactly. It gets too rough and all the porchies leave. "For Mayo". Yeah right. But if they had just listened to Amyranth's suggestions of being more considerate, and not playing all their stupid ass games all day and stopping with the "This is what I did allll day" posts then maybe the blog wouldn't be broken and they wouldn't feel the need to run like cowards now.
We CAN fix the blog. Amyranth is not the only one who agrees with what she wrote.
I think that if the porchies would agree to stop doing the games and the endless posts, poetry, links and pictures, it can be better and maybe they can come back.
Mayo should be saying those words to you.
Stop riding the fence, Elena. Either you are with us or against us.
stfu, 12:33. elena is with us. she's only trying to be polite.
But if they had just listened to Amyranth's suggestions of being more considerate...
And if she had been more tolerant and appreciated their right to express themselves...
Yes but there comes a time when polite doesn't work.
Amy knows that.
I think that if the porchies would agree to stop doing the games and the endless posts, poetry, links and pictures, it can be better and maybe they can come back
And I think if you would agree to stop the endless persecution, it can be better and maybe they can come back.
Amy knows that.
Of course she does. Amy knows exactly how Mayo would like people to behave in his home. That's why he put her in charge.
He didn't.
Please, let Amyranth speak for herself.
I personally would not appreciate some unknown person speaking on my behalf.
I think that if the porchies would agree to stop doing the games and the endless posts, poetry, links and pictures, it can be better and maybe they can come back
I liked those things.
i wonder if mayo misses the porchies
Amyranth DID speak for herself. Most of us agree with her.
12:33 12:35
Sorry but just who are you?
I think I've been very clear on my position. I believe everyone should be here. I believe everyone should respect each other. I have always said this and it is what I believe.
I've never gone along with there being two "groups" of people. We are all just people who hang at Mayo's. I have friends in what you term each group. I'll be damned if anyone is going to tell me I can only be friends within my "group" Whatever that group is.
I don't think he misses them. I think the "friendship" he had with many of them was over exxaggerated by them.
Elena, you can't deny that Amyranth made perfect sense in her post on what should and shouldn't be done here.
Mayonaise's place is one of the biggest, most complicated relationships I've ever been in. I think we all need to work on it equally to make it better than it is. The best it can be.
Once again, if you're not willing to work on it, you're willing to let Mayo's fall apart.
I'm not.
-A
See this is exactly it. The porchie sAREN'T willing to stop their games. The endless movie and TV quotes. A bunch of you told Kapunua MANY times to stop with the poetry. None of them would listen.
THEY are the ones who aren't willing to work to fix this place.
Last night you argued with the anon who said that it wasn't right for one of us to decide how the blog should be run. Don't back down now, Elena.
This blog is no different from any other institution, like a school, a place of business or a government. It has to have rules and it has to have a leader.
Who do you want that leader to be? Amy or Kapunua?
The choice is obvious to me.
I argued with the anon about the phrase "one of you." To me it was implying that one person out of one of the "groups."
Once again I refuse to be part of a split. All of us are one group of people. Not seperate groups. We are all bloggers on Mayo's blog. Yeah some of us have closer friendships to some but that doesn't mean you have to automatically dislike someone else because of it.
At least that is how it is for me. I am just one of many bloggers. That is all I am.
I know you agree with Amy, Elena. You're just afraid to come right out and say it.
It doesn't matter anyway. We've won. I don't think the porchies will ever really be back.
Once again, if you're not willing to work on it, you're willing to let Mayo's fall apart
How about you work on your tolerance Amy? There's plenty of room for everyone here.
A leader? Seriously?
Holy shit isn't there enough campaigning going on in the world right now?
Okay then....
Vote Mayo.
It doesn't matter anyway. We've won.
What exactly have you won?
Once again I refuse to be part of a split. All of us are one group of people. Not seperate groups.
That's bullshit. This place has always been about groups and exclusion. It's just that before it was blues against anons.
Who do you want that leader to be? Amy or Kapunua?
At least Kapu never campaigned to rule the blog.
What exactly have you won?
The poems and role playing have stopped. Thanks to Amy. :)
That's bullshit. This place has always been about groups and exclusion. It's just that before it was blues against anons.
After that it was regulars against anons and new people.
1:06
nothing in the world makes me more pissed off as to have someone say they know what I think.
I've put up with that shit for 24 years.
Only I know what I think. Others know what I think when I say it.
See this is exactly it. The porchie sAREN'T willing to stop their games. The endless movie and TV quotes. A bunch of you told Kapunua MANY times to stop with the poetry. None of them would listen.
THEY are the ones who aren't willing to work to fix this place.
Are you willing to stop posting Amy's fix? Her words have the potential to hurt people much more than movie quotes and games. Rather than tell you to stop quoting Amyranth's fix, which I have absolutely no right to do, I am asking you to please stop posting it.
The blog has been centered more and more on certain people. Whether it is they themselves who are being villainized or celebrated, I have become increasingly aware that the rotation is squarely around them. No longer is this blog about camaraderie, it's not about Family, or even is it about Mayo and his Lovelies.
There is no inclusion. There is no friendliness. There is no love, and no "home".
My mother said to me once "If you're being picked on for something, pay attention to what is being said. If it's the same thing over and over again, maybe it's something you should think about changing."
People will not conform to your expectations. They will not conform to your will. They will not take up your ideals, your thoughts, or your mentality. They especially will not tolerate attitude from anyone who attempts to lord over them.
If you seem to be the problem, look at them, and ask yourself what you plan to do. If the answer is "Nothing", then do not be surprised when the circle around you gets wider, and wider.
For those of you that complain about the divide in the House of Mayo, here's some of your reasons why. If anything can bring it back to what it was, I feel that fixing these problems would be a start.
They are not minor.
They are not going to be easy.
I think they can be worth it.
Do you?
-Amyranth.
The poems and role playing have stopped. Thanks to Amy. :)
So Amy got what she wanted. Have any of you stopped to think what Mayo might want? Perhaps he enjoyed the poetry and games.
I don't think Mayo does more than skim here. Now without all the poetry and other shit it will be easier for the others to be noticed.
Now without all the poetry and other shit it will be easier for the others to be noticed.
Agreed. Like Amy said,
"The blog has been centered more and more on certain people. Whether it is they themselves who are being villainized or celebrated, I have become increasingly aware that the rotation is squarely around them."
Without the porchies, maybe others more deserving of Mayo's attention will be noticed.
I'd like to see some of Amy's writing or pictures on Mayo's walls.
Right now, you're all dogs fighting over a rag and shredding it in the process. This blog is what it is. It doesn't need to be "fixed". It's not a relationship we need to go into marriage counselling for.
So just back off.
Just back the fuck off.
Come here to play, discuss, meet with friends, or talk to Mayo, but take your conspiracies and your "sides" and your goddamn battle lines and go the fuck away.
That is what is ruining this blog.
I agree, 1:24.
Amy's "fix" is part of the problem, not a solution.
I'll give Amy credit for one thing. She sure does know how to stir the shit, doesn't she?
Repeated for Emphasis:
Come here to play, discuss, meet with friends, or talk to Mayo, but take your conspiracies and your "sides" and your goddamn battle lines and go the fuck away.
That is what is ruining this blog.
See this is exactly it. The porchie sAREN'T willing to stop their games. The endless movie and TV quotes. A bunch of you told Kapunua MANY times to stop with the poetry. None of them would listen.
THEY are the ones who aren't willing to work to fix this place.
Are you willing to stop posting Amy's fix? Her words have the potential to hurt people much more than movie quotes and games. Rather than tell you to stop quoting Amyranth's fix, which I have absolutely no right to do, I am asking you to please stop posting it.
So you tell other people to stop posting poetry, and are enraged when they ignore your commands. You say their refusal to comply to your orders is destroying this place. I ask you to stop posting Amy's fix and yet you continue to do so.
By continuing to post Amy's fix after you were asked nicely to stop, after it was explained that her words could potentially hurt people, you have done exactly what you have accused the other of doing. You don't need to blame them for ruining the blog. You're doing a great job of that yourself.
Without the porchies, maybe others more deserving of Mayo's attention will be noticed.
I'd like to see some of Amy's writing or pictures on Mayo's walls.
So that's what all this is really about? You have got to be fucking kidding me!
By continuing to post Amy's fix after you were asked nicely to stop, after it was explained that her words could potentially hurt people, you have done exactly what you have accused the other of doing. You don't need to blame them for ruining the blog. You're doing a great job of that yourself.
"By continuing to post Amy's fix after you were asked nicely to stop, after it was explained that her words could potentially hurt people,"
Hurt people?? PLEASE! What was HURTING people was the constant stupid games, the movie and tv quotes, the role playing, the poetry that you KNOW was done on purpose to A annoy people B get Mayo's attention. It went on AFTER they were asked so many times to STOP. Like Amyranth said. BEYOND PATHETIC.
Amyranth's words were meant to heal and inspire. The poetry, the games, endless quotes, pictures of bees and dogs etc etc..... THAT was done to hurt people.
Mayo, just give Amy some goddamn attention and be done with this juvenile shit, ok?

Chit-Chit-Chatter
Spit, spout, spatter
make mine matter
to those assembled and gathered
inside the box
and swing batter batter
let the words fly and fabulously flatter
or crack your glass and smash and shatter
you spilled your own milk and that makes you madder
coming at me like a striking black adder
your venom in my veins, I begin to stagger
interesting
you've regained your swagger
and seeing you this way makes me rather...
sad
as you walk away I hear giggling and laughter
but karma will grab you...
you silly back stabber

This meal happened to be a make-believe tea, and they sat round the board, guzzling in their greed; and really, what with their chatter and recriminations, the noise, as Wendy said, was positively deafening. To be sure, she did not mind noise, but she simply would not have them grabbing things, and then excusing themselves by saying that Tootles had pushed their elbow. There was a fixed rule that they must never hit back at meals, but should refer the matter of dispute to Wendy by raising the right arm politely and saying, 'I complain of so-and-so'; but what usually happened was that they forgot to do this or did it too much.
'Silence,' cried Wendy when for the twentieth time she had told them that they were not all to speak at once. 'Is your calabash empty, Slightly darling?'
'Not quite empty, mummy,' Slightly said, after looking into an imaginary mug.
'He hasn't even begun to drink his milk,' Nibs interposed.
This was telling, and Slightly seized his chance.
'I complain of Nibs,' he cried promptly.
John, however, had held up his hand first.
'Well, John?'
'May I sit in Peter's chair, as he is not here?'
'Sit in father's chair, John!' Wendy was scandalised. 'Certainly not.'
'He is not really our father,' John answered. 'He didn't even know how a father does till I showed him.'
This was grumbling. 'We complain of John,' cried the twins.
Tootles held up his hand. He was so much the humblest of them, indeed he was the only humble one, that Wendy was specially gentle with him.
'I don't suppose,' Tootles said diffidently, 'that I could be father.'
'No, Tootles.'
Once Tootles began, which was not very often, he had a silly way of going on.
'As I can't be father,' he said heavily, 'I don't suppose, Michael, you would let me be baby?'
'No, I won't,' Michael rapped out. He was already in his basket.
'As I can't be baby,' Tootles said, getting heavier and heavier, 'do you think I could be a twin?'
'No, indeed,' replied the twins; 'it's awfully difficult to be a twin.'
'As I can't be anything important,' said Tootles, 'would any of you like to see me do a trick?'
'No,' they all replied.
Then at last he stopped. 'I hadn't really any hope,' he said.
The hateful telling broke out again.
'Slightly is coughing on the table.'
'The twins began with mammee-apples.'
'Curly is taking both tappa rolls and yams.'
'Nibs is speaking with his mouth full.'
'I complain of the twins.'
'I complain of Curly.'
'I complain of Nibs.'
'Oh dear, oh dear,' cried Wendy, 'I'm sure I sometimes think that children are more trouble than they are worth.'

ALSO shit stirring.
THAT is shit stirring.
That was posted on DM. You're the one who brought it here. So who's stirring the shit, again?
Still at it, huh?
and by reposting also stiring shit.
People give it a rest.
Just stop.
PLEASE
Amyranth's words were meant to heal and inspire. The poetry, the games, endless quotes, pictures of bees and dogs etc etc..... THAT was done to hurt people.
Telling people they aren't welcome on the blog. Telling people what they can and can't post. Apportioning blame. These are things that could potentially hurt someone. How do pictures of bumble bees and games hurt people? Amy was deliberately attacking people, the others were just having fun. I appreciate their idea of fun may differ from other peoples, but as far as I'm aware, there is nothing malicious about poetry or kool aid. I don't know if they were hurt by Amy's words, I could certainly understand if they were. Claiming to be hurt by games and movies quotes, now that is beyond pathetic. If Mayo did not appreciate the poetry or the physics discussions, he would not have discussed them with her or put them on his blog, would he?
Hey Red
How are you?
Amyranth's words were meant to heal and inspire. The poetry, the games, endless quotes, pictures of bees and dogs etc etc..... THAT was done to hurt people.
Seriously? Have you heard yourself?
Here's something else to ponder. Why would you discuss things, or even provide information that you can be used to harass you and possibly make your life unhappy?
This is the internet, darlings. Regardless of who you are, you should never provide information, or allow access to information that anyone can use to identify you offline. Ever. Period. You put yourself and everyone around you at serious risk when you do that.
Why make yourself a target? Why make anyone else an unwilling target?
I love how Amy came right out and told K it was her own fault that she got fired. :D
1:40, SIGN IN PORCHIES!
You got them off the blog, not content with that, you follow them to their own blogs to continue the endless persecution.
You aren't doing yourself any favors.
Honestly?
Kinda bored.
1:43
SIGN IN AMY!
Amyranth has a JOB and a LIFE in case you missed it. She is not lazy and worthless.
The poetry, the games, endless quotes, pictures of bees and dogs etc etc..... THAT was done to annoy people.
At least Amyranth doesn't come in here kissing Mayo, or PRETENDING to kiss Mayo like Kapu did a few days ago. Amyranth has a man of her own and doesn't need to pretend to kiss Mayo.
I'm sorry but that fake :kiss" was really disgusting and out of line.
Yeah Red,
Me too!
The poetry, the games, endless quotes, pictures of bees and dogs etc etc..... THAT was done to annoy people.
Repeatedly posting Amy's fix annoys me. I did not tell you to stop posting it. I would have no right to do that. I did, however, ask you nicely to stop posting it. You didn't. I guess that means you must adopt the 'do as I say, not as I do.' philosophy.

Well, she'll be much too busy to run the blog then, won't she?

I am not the same anon who continually posts Amy's words.
Amyranth never asked to run the blog, people. She just suggested that it would be better if a certain group of people stopped their pathetic behavior. That's all. She did it to help and inspire.
Redrum why don't you tell the blog how you feel about Kapu kissing you?
Amy might have a life, but I'm not so sure she's all that happy with it. She quit one job because she couldn't get along with one of her supervisors, if I recall correctly. Then she took another job and soon after, a bunch of the other employees threatened a mass walk-out, am I right?
Sounds like she has problems getting along with people to me.
You sure pay a lot of attention to Amy.
Amy sounds like a control freak to me.
It may not have been you, but while her 'supporters' still continue to post her fix after being politely aksed to stop, it only serves to make a mockery of her words and her reasons for blaming the others.
Double standards and all that jazz.
You sure pay a lot of attention to Amy.
She sure does like to talk about herself a lot.

On several occasions the day crew were asked nicely to stop, they did not. What the Amy anon is only playing by the rules that were set by the day crew.
Look, this is mostly Mayo's fault, too. The behaviour that is beyond pathetic and only used for attention actually GOT his attention. He gave it to them.
I don't think he misses the porchies. He shouldn't because they never contributed much aside from random characters and endless pathetic games. Kapunua more or less always ignored everybody who said things to her that she didn't like, instead of facing up to them and answering the allegations. That's what I call pathetic.
What Mayo should miss is the OPs. Never had a day gone by where they weren't on here wishing Mayo well, sending him their love and faith and hope.
The smart move would be to take down Fimble Star's story, which was such a shit move on his part that it made OPJ leave, and put up Amyranth's words of encouragement instead.

Exactly. Here and many other places people asked them to stop the games, stop the endless poetry, stop the pictures. Instead they went on and on and on and on. Finally some of us told them to shove it and what did Kapunua do? Made a joke out of that.
This is just fair play.
I don't understand why Amy put that bit about keeping your info private into her "fix". It seemed unnecessary at this point. Unless she was intentionally trying to hurt Kapunua.
Even worse, after Amyranth called the "television character" games beyond pathetic, Kapunua went over to the porch and posted as Fox Moulder. That was clearly a shot at Amyranth.
Say what?
Kapunua doesn't even have the guts to acknowledge Amyranth. She hasn't said a word to her. Not "I'm sorry" or even "I disagree". Just dead silence on her part. It's so rude.
I SAID, RedRum, why don't you tell the whole blog how you felt about Kapunua kissing you? Since you seem to love the porchies so much.
What Mayo should miss is the OPs. Never had a day gone by where they weren't on here wishing Mayo well, sending him their love and faith and hope.
That's a joke, right?
The OPs do nothing but throw hissy fits. The only people they care about are Mayo and SS and even they aren't immune to OPJ's wrath.
The games etc are not new. They have been played since the birth of the blog. Why is it only bothering you now?
OPJ is just passionate. She gets upset easily when defending her loved ones. There is no harm in that.
The smart move would be to take down Fimble Star's story, which was such a shit move on his part that it made OPJ leave
If she left because of such a trivial thing, Mayo obviously never meant anything to her.
It bothers people because the ones who really care about the blog, like Amy and the OPs get overlooked because of all other garbage being posted.

Every once in a while it can be fun but it starts to get old fast when it is done all day everyday.
It's Mayo's blog. He can post what he likes.
If anyone ends up destroying this blog, it will be Amy. Do you think Mayo wants to see you dividing the blog this way? Do you think he approves of you telling people what they can and can't post on his blog? How dare you tell anyone else how to behave.

I feel the same way about Amy's fix being repeatedly posted.

Pot meet kettle
Amy nearly destroyed this place once before. Don't forget she was the one who told the fangirls on mcrrumorcontrol that the OPs had a "special connection" with SS. Remember that fiasco?
Mayo has posted a lot of the Porchies comments. Amy just wants some Mayo love too.
A couple of people seem to be obsessed with Amyranth. I wonder if her boyfriend thinks about her as much as you people do.
Red
Nice to see you again. I'm gonna give up for a bit. If I wanted to listen to this kind of fighting I could just go home and sit in a room with my teenage daughters.
2:10, when have the porchies ever told Amy or anyone else what they can and can't post?

Ignore it. That is what you tell everyone to do when they get sick of the games.
Of course she denies it, but I think Amy's at least one of the anons who continually posts about herself. Especially when her writing and artwork is brought up.
