I'm not trying to start anything. In fact, if I had my way I'd make it so no one could reply, and I wouldn't either. I'd just want everyone to see it, and be aware. It's made me think twice, that's for sure.

 

But since you're going to make a stink and reply anyway, I'll try to start it off light....

 

What this shows me:

 1. Saying you hate the bushes appears to be the fastest way to get attention, good or bad! (score one for Blessed??)

 

2. Something must still really catch us about 9/11, because we have yet to come CLOSE to that kind of attention on a chat thread - EVER.

 

3. It seems to be easier to talk about stuff that's NOT related to our disease. But why do we post it here? Well I'm not sure where else anyone would want to. When you're here, even if you hate each other, you're family. We all have one HUGE, MAJOR, GIGANTIC thing in common. And that's what keeps us all coming back, again and again, and again.......

 

4. I think buckeye put ** links in the hand deformities thread....it's the only RA related one up there....she had to have rigged it!! LOL (joke joke, haha!!)

 

5. Don't let the title of the thread mislead you. While the one is called "fighting, go for it" I don't think it was really anyone fighting. If my memory is serving me correct, we ended up in fits of laughter. I didn't look at it yet though, I might be thinking of another one...

 

 

And the last, biggest thing I noticed about these threads......
