    I don't think it's necessarily insulting to note that we used to have shows like Mr. Wizard and now we have garbage like 19 kids and counting. The history channel doesn't even show history anymore!

    "Mr. Wizard" was a children's program, and "19 and Counting" is not a children's program. Being a parent of a 4 year old who frequently has children's programming on, i can tell you that there are some pretty good shows, that are interesting and educational. I can list them if you'd like.

    That said, with the multitude of channels available, the quality of programming across the board is not great - but there are good things out there.

    I wasn't necessarily saying that pointing it out was insulting. What I was saying is that intimating to all the users of these forums that they are so simple/dumb that they cannot appreciate his thread about a scientists prank and let it fall by the wayside is insulting.

    Somebody, quick! Get this woman a violin!

    Pretty sure you're trying to insult HIM even more?

    Uh, no. Usually if someone is insulted when no insult was thrown, it's usually a lady. (Sorry ladies). But, a quick peruse over at wolverine's page, and I see now he was just sticking up for the ladies of MFP, in case they might have been offended. I appreciate your style, wolverine.

    Yep I'll stay classy because that's what good mommas do! :wink: The stress isn't worth it!

    Do forum threads on the internet truly stress you out?

    Not necessarily, I seen someone point out that because of my long response that I was a classic example of brain dump mommy. Lack of human conversation. So I said I would stay classy... lol Stressing while losing weight just isn't worth it. I have 4 children and plan on rocking my hot pink bikini this summer! I can laugh with the best of them but am smart enough to let it roll off my back to just wasn't going away with out adding my 2 CENTS :) LMAO!!

    This coming from someone who started a separate thread complaining that his other thread wasn't getting enough attention?

    Ok, then.

    There actually was a lot of information in that post but good for you for having a good attitude. Message boards on the internet is no place for the "thin skinned".

    *edited - meant to say post not thread.

    I've been apparently wasting lunch breaks on the boring threads. Thanks for a sarcastic, joke-and-dong filled afternoon, friends!
