So where have the Sniffas been?

[XemaSab]

I don't recall having seen them in a while.

:shrug:

[progmom]

1. they're taking a break from DU

[XemaSab]

2. Ah, thanks

I hope they're okay. :hi:

[progmom]

3. things just got kind of weird for them here

:(

[leftofthedial]

5. things are kind of weird for everyone here

I thought that was the point.

:shrug:

[Thtwudbeme]

6. OK, I have to answer you

things got weird for THEM??? If that's true, the Lounge probably needs to be shut down, because it's now beyond weird.

I am sorry, but surely to God you can look at your answer and at least smile!

[progmom]

8. hi

:hi:

i picked my avatar because it made me smile. is that what you meant?

[Thtwudbeme]

9. omg! Did you not notice what a dweeb I am?

I can't see avatars! This is a 6 year old computer!

What is it?

Holy cow...I just thought people met me and thought..."well..now, there's the walking definition of a dork!"

[progmom]

11. and apparently i need new glasses

since i thought you told me to look at my AVATAR and at least smile...not my answer.

and ok, to answer your question, yes. definitely....yes. :hi:

[Thtwudbeme]

13. You wear glasses?

Ha! I KNEW people recognized me for a dork!

I practically have it tatooed on my forehead, do I not?

[progmom]

15. seriously?

I'm very possibly the biggest dork on the planet. Dorkiness is a quality I admire. :hi:

4. i noticed a lot of snarky comments about them

guess thats why they are taking a break. live and let live is not a motto we seem to live by.

[Thtwudbeme]

7. and lots of snarky comments FROM them

let's not re-write history here.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. sorry i should have said it this way:

i noticed one very snarky thread about them their "alternative living arrangement"

otherwise i remain blissfully ignorant. thanks the gods for that.

[Thtwudbeme]

12. I saw several

However, they constantly bragged about their alternative living arrangement-

if people are old enough to choose alternative living arrangements, then they should be prepared for comments about them.

I never made a comment about that, btw---I could personally care less.

What matters to me is if people are nice or not.

Take that as you may.

[XemaSab]

14. But nobody else was "fair game" for comments

There are DU'ers who are openly in gay and interracial relationships, as well as single moms, childless couples, misanthropes, and some TRULY ODD folks around here, but they're not picked on, because that would be rude and intolerant.

[Thtwudbeme]

16. Pull up a thread for me where those people

brag openly about their relationships.

And also explain to me how being single or childless in any way, shape or form is considered "weird."

I was single for 39 years. Loved it. I am still childless. So what?

I am eagerly awaiting your threads where people openly bragged about their relationships and damn near dared them to say anything.

PM me if you have to.

[TimeChaser]

17. ...

Is this bragging somehow akin to the way same sex couples flaunt their sexuality by being affectionate in public? :shrug:

And if I talk about my boyfriend am I bragging about my conventional relationship. (Okay, maybe not exactly 'conventional,' execpt in the literal sense of going to conventions :) )

[Midlodemocrat]

18. Locking.

This is probably not a good idea.

Thank you.
