Wow, I feel like I really missed something. I can't imagine what that may be referring to...

you always say that Lonnie

I'm gonna buy you a t-shirt that says "what?"

Okay. I'm going to say something that's probably not going to be well received by all parties, and I'm prepared for the heat. Feel free to disagree.


It seems we have a little bit of a double standard going in this thread right now. We have one group of people who seem to become filled with righteous indignation when certain other members post something perceived as off color, adult, or just inappropriate. The public ostracizing is sometimes palpable.

Then, we have a beloved member post a picture of a flower that bears a striking similarity to a vulva (not a Swedish car), and the tittering and innuendo starts from some of those same people who disapprove of others saying/posting something similar.

We are all adults, and we have to allow that other adults are occasionally going to say or write things that we find distasteful. We have many choices on how to handle those situations, but petulance or mean-spirited sniping is not one of the allowable ones.

If ANY of you think someone needs to be corrected, you can send them a PM and make your feelings known, report the post using the little red triangle, or contact your favorite mod. Please don't take it upon yourselves to be the self-appointed arbiters of good taste, and don't criticize just one person if you're not going to be equal and fair in your judgments.

A lot of this goes way back, so don't bother reading back over the preceding day's posts. This has been cumulative.

I'm going to lunch.

Understood, thanks for your efforts and hard work of moderating. I will try to treat everyone equal, even if it is fake, in the spirit of inclusion.

I don't disagree at all with what you said Tom, though not real certain I know what it entirely pertained too, it probably blew right over my head.

Right now we are leaning towards Schätze (it's German for "treasure")

My good friend Alphons uses it as a term of endearment for his wife Heike. They are both German imports, though they met here.

like Potsie from Happy Days?

Exactly.

Lisa is taking mom to emergency to get looked at because the x-ray showed a fractured ankle and knee. I imagine she will need a cast.

Oh gosh, Jim. That stinks.

No heat from this direction, Chief. Well said.

And what's for lunch?

Permagrin wrote in post #7914498
Of course if we do go with that then the papers will say Schätze Von Drache

LOVE that!

it always cracks me up when you say that I "get" it but I'll never forget the confusion it first threw me into.

LOL. we sort of have an adopted daughter named Val who might get offended if we named our dog that. But funny!!

It is rumored to have thrown Hitler into more than confusion.

It does, but she is a tough ol' bird.
She is down on herself for doing something stupid that caused it to happen, though that is kinda expected. Most folks tend to do that.

I just may have already been mentioned.
I have even offered her the use of our new trailer. It is fully equipped with all she needs and is only 2 steps off the ground. She said fine, but does want a room service bell installed.

Say "sure, mum...here you go" and just fill the bell with expanding foam
