Nope, was in two car accidents in one day. Got rear ended and an hour later, on the way to the hospital no less, I had a lady fish-tale off the freeway then swerve back into traffic and I hit her. Was a great day...NOT!

I have enough credits of my own to take additional credit for other people's statements.
That is, by far, the most pompous, self-absorbed and self-important statement I have EVER read ANYWHERE!

And you may soon realize the sarcasm in my statement about cats and children, once you've had a chance to browse the boards and discover that, until recently, I was a proud loving owner of a very funny and interesting cat, for 17 years since she was 2 weeks old. Her name was Lucky but I used to call her It or simply Cat. She was not just a pet, but a member of the family.
For future posts, if you are making a comment that is intended to be sarcastic, you might want to make mention of that fact. Since so much of a conversation is based off of non-verbal ques, we as readers really don't know what you mean unless you spell it out and are clear. I didn't take your post as a sarcastic reply and from what I have seen in other threads, others don't as well. Perhaps it might be a good idea for you to do so. As far as pets go, I had a cat that I had to put to sleep 4 days after the birth of my first daughter. My cat was nearly 20 and I had her from a kitten. She was more family to me than my parents were.

And I won't even go into discussion of Children here... seems rather pointless to me at this point.
Probably a good idea. Not sure you would want to bandy words with me on that subject.

I'm going to suggest now that this thread get back on topic (or at least closer to the topic! ).

As Trikster notes, it can sometimes be difficult to discern the intent of posts, especially where sarcasm is involved (which doesn't tend to translate well in this kind of format). Emoticons are your friend in these cases (or, just state explicitly that you are joking if it's not crystal clear).

Anyway, let's please keep comments focused on the topic now and not on each other.

Thanks!

You are quite correct. If she wishes to retort, she can PM me. Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

My pompous, self-indulgent statements seem to have that affect and effect on people with Red undertones, when EVER they choose to read them ANYWHERE .

But what would be the point to my sarcasm, if I had to point it out to them?

What does that mean? What is a red undertone?

So people know you are being sarcastic and not serious. Otherwise, people could really start to wonder about your motivations (among other things).

I like to wear nice dresses/outfits with matching shoes and bags when going out. I have been turned down more times than I care to remember and got the explanation, "you look posh" meaning "you look like someone I can't afford." They didn't even bother to get to know me.
When I was a member I wouldn't have turned you down for those reasons; would have waited for you to turn me down for "appearance" reasons. The PIC of me, standing between two Douglas Fir Trees, taken after I had taken I hike in the Redwoods was posted so ladies to whom appearance was most important would "X" me out.

Frankly, I prefer taller men, simply because they make me feel like.. A WOMAN. Bigger/taller/stockier whatever you want to call it. I've been discriminated against myself because I'm NOT a size 2.

Guys don't care if I have a great personality, or if I'm a very generous person. All they care about is if they have a trophy on their arm. I've met a few who weren't like that, and such is life. You gotta move on, and stand straighter because someone out there WILL love you for who you are, what you look like, or your personality.

Women do the same thing. We are all human. I figure, if I didn't meet his preferance, then he wasn't meant to be. I don't like shallow people. A shallow person wouldn't see the wonderful person I am DEEP inside and appreciate it anyhow. I'm better off. So was he, cuz I think I just displayed my bad attitude. SORRY!
When I was a member I don't recall ever "X-ing" out a match due to appearance. I'm certain I was "X-ed" out becaues of appearance many times becaues of the PIC to which I keep refering. It was taken by some people I met on a trail which lead to a place where I waded across a creek to see the largest known standing Coastal Redwood Tree. I was sweaty and a real mess~! Every match I ever met saw the PIC before meeting me; the match I married saw the PIC too.
