I'll take that challenge.
@WorkerDrone83 why don't you post any selfies? I want to see that face
Haha. Not this one. I don't want to hijack BeingMore1's thread. But to answer your question, because I don't photograph well.

Great idea. Why don't you start a No-Holds Barred thread?2 -

Nah, the MFP powers would never allow that much fun and my first thread would be shut down in minutes.0 -

You're right it would be too much and fun is frowned upon in here.1 -

Not to be accidentally switched with cinnamon for french toast. It's just not the same. Not that I have done this or anything. Just guessing.3 -

But since you brought it up, I think people around here are pretty good about calling people out about how they really feel about them. Wouldn't you agree Just_J_Now?
In a passive aggressive way maybe but I've never seen too many people drop names when really "going in" about someone.

I think we're all well versed in the ways of passive aggression and understand its language well. The nameless varieties of loyalty, disdain, ridicule, inclusion, exclusion, admiration and affection - and who they're targeted towards - are as obvious on MFP as on any other message board.
Yes. I speak the language myself because as it is I get "flagged" all the damn time and I'm sure it would take only one "outing" for me to get banned. I'm sure it's inevitable. I just don't want to get banned just yet.0 -

Seems that way. Even the cheating husbands never get called out in public. Wonder why that might be......
The same reason cheating wives don't get called out. People act like being a hoar is a one way street.2 -
Thanks to this thread I just discovered I'm out of cumin, and I was planning to make chili today.
Great. Just great.
Seems like mfpers are both passive-aggressive and confrontational. Depends on the day and the context.
Sometimes we recognize negative subtext in passive-aggressive posts, sometimes we don't, sometimes we imagine it and think it's about us when it doesn't exist or is not about us, and at the best times, we don't give a *kitten*.9 -

I pride myself in having a circle of friends that calls out people's *kitten* but that's why others think we're mean
OMG! Are you in the mean "clique"? Can I join? :laugh: :laugh:3 -

Don't use cinnamon in the chili but do add a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder. It is amazing.0 -

Mmmmm. Sounds yummy! I don't think I have any, but sometimes I add a little ground clove, which sounds weird but is really good (but easy to overdo). I will definitely try it next time!0 -

thinking it might be good to have a random advice thread actually. we probably have a lot of homespun wisdom we could share out...let me think.
for the fellas:
1. if a woman ever tells you, "we'll see...", trust me, we not about to see.
2. always err on the side of being too distant vs too clingy
3. own your failures, they will help you evolve.
for the ladies:
1. don't gas up your friends if they ain't really your friends
2. date someone who makes you roll your eyes and smile
3. can't help who you love; can help who you tell you love though.
for everyone:
time lost is never found again.
I admire your wisdom2 -

that's common knowledge.... unless you can do it forever, don't perform in any area of your relationship at a higher level.3 -

Common knowledge sure but sometimes we are blinded by everyday crap our judgment suffers and reading such things as he has written today, can help those who are struggling with themselves and with others. Sometimes reading the 'obvious' is all we need.2 -
