I am thinking I should back away from DU for the night
There are a couple of bridge threads in GD that have me enraged and I do not wish to say anything that would get me the granite cookie. (Believe me I am tempted).

:hug:

I cannot do happy fun lounge tonight. I am too upset.

7. That's a good idea any night.
Have a good relax, and give a yell on the flipside.

9. You mean like the thread where the person
called themselves a bitch because s/he was tired of the coverage?

That totally pissed me off. I need to check back and see if who agreed. My ignore button needs to come out and play sometimes.

16. That is one of them
Is it really that hard to look past oneself when catastrophe happens?

32. But it might make her think sad thoughts.
And we know that's a bad thing.

11. No problem. And thanks for the GD tip. I'll avoid it tonight, too...
...I hadn't been there much, so didn't see them. Nor do I want to.

13. Some of the bridge collpase threads are fucking shameful.
I don't blame you for wanting to go off, not even a little.

22. And deservedly so. Wonder how they'd feel if THEIR relatives and
friends lived in that area?

Bet they'd be singing a different tune.

30. True. I think it is inherent. You either have it or you don't.
Fortunately, there are many people here who are empathetic, and who have your back.

21. No, you don't
Apparently all of us with loved ones there are OBSESSING (that is only one of the threads). Or we are BORING (another lovely thread).

34. Kitchy, I'm so sorry about what happened, yesterday.
and yes, it's a good idea to stay away from GD, especially when the
closet Freepers start coming out.

That's right, I said it!

My latest experience with posting a thread re: Amazon.com selling
cockfighting magazines, which is against the fu*king law!, showed me
who is who in GD.

They are no better than Freepers!
You have a right to be angry.

Again, I'm so sad to hear about the bridges.

:hug:

I know what some people say sometimes gets to me too. But that is a good time to do other things.
