The *WE LOVE MSLAURA THREAD*

I like her too, but who's this "we," kemo sabe?

You know, I feel like shite right now, I just attacked the wrong man in here and I am litteraly crying my eyes out, infact I attacked the wrong Mark too (Mark C instead of Mark H) I just feel horrible and I want to apologize to these 2 poor souls whom I just attacked with bloody lust and I am just feeling so fucking shite right now, it's unimaginable.

can u try to stop 'attacking' ppl for a change.

Julio I am going to say this, Your name I remember clearly, and You have ATTACKED me, You hypocrite.so shut it.

boo!

yeah ms laura is choice

i'm not sure about You tho

(Julio I mean of course)

duane- how could you say such thing hehe...I love ya!

DUDE!!!!

If all of you would have accepted me with welcoming arms, we could have all been one happy family instead of a rather dysfuntional and unforgiving one now.It was all I truly wanted, was just to be treated with just the littlest ammount of welcome...

And the littlest amount of welcome is exactly what all you people gave her. The very littlest.

Stuart, it was more like next to nothing.

There have been some people that have attacked some of the content of your posts. You should realise that attacking your posts doesn't necessarily equal an attack on you personally, Martin Skidmore's reply stating your post could be construed as homophobic comes to mind. There is also the example of you being snarky with Kate when she did genuinely answer your question on that anal sex thread.

ps This isn't an attack on you as while I wasn't too interested in your posts I think there's nothing wrong with you asking those questions. Calling people wetbacks, and some other comments you made didn't really help your case at all though.

Can I just say that Ms. Laura does indeed rule? Rock. :-)

No, fractal. Because the same thing you are saying to me can easily apply to just about anyone here in this site, and to be quite honest with you , the only reason why nobody else seems not to have a problem with the 'others' is because everybody knows them longer, thus making me odd one out and the whole attack upon me is,whether or not someone else might say a bad word,or say the word 'wetback' or not,it seems not to be an issue, but as soon as Becky says something remotely off colour,It's like the spectators are ready to rip me to shreads, and You cannot say that isn't true, so please don't argue that theory with me.
Thing is, Everybody is forgetting how I was initially treated,lets put aside my sharp 'tongue' and see how these past few days played out in my eyes, I was attacked, abused and just treated poorly,and absolutely nobody came out to my defense. nobody.and I really didn't have a problem with that and completely did everything to keep things neutreal,but the ones who were just outright attacking me were taking their chances at someone who just wasn't in the mood anymore after 2 days....I was being sarcastic as first, not even foul mouthed nor sexual (in replying back to those jerks) and people came out of nowhere to defend my attackers,fine.I thought fine.I will just be as nasty, things got nastier,I admit they have gotten nastier, but admittingly enough they were just as nasty.
People who attacked my intital questions could do so,but what wasn't going to be accepted were the horrible things said about me or to me to simply hurt me, what? you think i do not have feelings?
my questions were not even so much as rude or anything, i guess the only problem was my question about the size 28 waist/guy/sex...and tell me where that was a problem? (and i would like you to make up reasons just to make you look good,if you like) but other than that, that question was just about as decent as any other, and it was in the 'sex category' .....the kate issue: i basically told her she missed the whole point of my question, and what you are doing is basically saying that i was attacking her as a person, when i was just giving my opinion about her response, plus, the fact that it pretty much looked like the 40 year old bloke getting his jollies was basically an attack on me, why shouldn't i have taken it that way? everybody else was saying that about me......so why not?
martin skidmore is another numb nut , first he sort of said something to try to get the RJG jerk off my back,but then when i just said to RJG "you must be gay to be attacking me so" that had nothing to do with hating someone or a sexual preference,so it just makes me wonder if this martin person was actually someone of the homophobic type himself to be honest.then the fun part was watching this martin person just crucify me completely and basically telling this RJG person to carry on with his attack on me...
The way you all are treating me is just plain wrong, from the moment i got here, and it has nothing with being super sensitive, have you read the rubbish that RJG was posting when i just got here? if not, have a look, and if you are going to defend it with "he's just rude that way" kind of excuse, well you know what.....that's exactly what i am saying you all are acting like when it comes to anyone else but me...."he's being colourful, he's stating his opinion, his personal attack on you is being taken as a personal attack by you (well duh!)...i mean, how many excuses for everyone who has basically made me bleed for the first few days,is going to be said...I know nobody likes me in here...it doesn't mean I am going away.

Well, hmmmm, okay, what do I say now? "Thank you, Thank you very much" hardly seems to suffice. But it shall have to do.

I have never had a thread dedicated to my being - I just did a victory dance through the house (though the victory dance was terminated early due to my forgetting that I just waxed the entrance way and my socks have little in the way of gripping ability and so I [ever-so-not-gracefully] went down on my tuckus) and stopped to tell my tortoise how well-loved I am (she blinked and made a bee-line for the red cabbage I'd shredded for her - that's her way of being congratulatory). And the rat yawned in my face. And the hamster blinked once, washed his testicles, and went back to sleep. And the dogs, well, they just wanted to play with the frisbee. So no-one really celebrated with me *sniff*

So, um, I've a request - instead of accolades, in the future can you just send me chocolate? See's dark chocolate truffles with either the dark chocolate buttercream or lemon centers usually hit the spot and fill me with love and gratitude and all that other stuff. And inspire me to think of more interesting (and sick and unique and kinky) things to post (like the party I was at where I watched one man, parachute wrapped around his testicles, take 24 lbs. in weight and beg for more).

Wow - two different references to "testicles" in one post - and this isn't even a sexual thread! Damn, I am good.

But, seriously here - thank you - I've had a cruddy morning and y'all have brought a smile to my face and a skip to my step (until I fell, that was) and all that other stuff.

So be well, make love not war, and love each other. And don't do anything I wouldn't do, but if you can't hold back, please take pictures and send them ASAP!

I love the See's key lime truffles, and the apple pie truffles *yum*

*speaking of testicles*
Did you know that some bloke from Puertorico had a pair totalling 30 pounds, and had to have them removed ffs. it was on telemundo (don't ask-my mom has it on that chanel EVERY single day)*cries*

i luv ms laura.

Ms Laura -- do they have Trader Joe where you are? Luverly truffles at a great price, is this a great country or what?

OoOoOoOoOoOoOo *they could have made truffles out of those mans 30 pound testicles*

*sorry* my distorted frame of thought working...

I luv you too, di *beautific smile*

Ah, j.lu - sadly,no. Trader Joe's were one of the sacrifices I made to move to Florida to live with someone I met on-line. What a fool I was! (And, actually, I was really hoping that I could order from them on-line, 'cause they carry a couple of things that I miss, but their website says that they won't sell things on-line, so I have to beg friends and family members to ship me stuff, or smuggle it through in their luggage [like they do with the wine] and whenever I drive to California I usually bring back a trunk full of Trader Joe's stuff [well, along with the wine and the Henry Weinhardt's Root Beer and the See's truffles and San Francisco sourdough and Gallo salami and several other things that I can't think of right now] to tide me over for a while). And I do like their truffles, too, but they don't quite match those of See's origin. Or maybe I am just a truffle snob. Oh, and I also miss CostPlus, too. *sigh* I gotta get back to the West Coast!

*shuddering* That was not quite the image I wanted in the forefront of my mind as I head off to make dinner, Becky. (Though, thanks, it did remind me that I need to order more truffle oil, so I won't bitch too much.)

Miss laura is grebt!

laura, are you implying that testicles are oily?!?!?!?! LOLOLOLOLOL
*LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF*

Laura, you can order See's online... (also, I live not far from Trader Joe's on LaBrea if you need a hookup)

^Trader Hoes^

There's rumored to be a Trader Joes in the greater chicagoland area but I haven't yet gotten round to it. The co-op market by where I live is a similar if more expensive thang with all the yuppieish niche instant foods I need.

Seafood bisque is my new favorite instant meal ever.

Many thanks, Julio.

Y'know, all of this adulation is going to my head. I have been walking around all day (well, except for when I was doing the slipping thing, and when I was napping, and when I was working...okay, make that "part of this day") just feeling peachy and happy and saying disturbing things like "Yippy-Skippy" and so forth - AND - I am not PMSing!!! You cannot believe how right you timed this ego massage. I haven't snapped at one person today (well, one, but she likes it, so that doesn't count - to piss her off I am nice to her).

luna, many thanks for the offer - I may well call you in on it, if you're serious (right now I am well-stocked after holidays visits and shipped care boxes and stuff, but it'll run-out at some time, I am certain) - and if you're not, that's cool too *grin* (Um, Trader Joe's does carry that Azteca Cocoa 1519 stuff, right? Hell, is that even the correct name? Hot chocolate mix with cinnamon and other spices added to the powdered cocoa?) And thanks for the See's on-ine reminder - I made the mistake of ordering from their site last year, in the middle of August - I received a rather molten mass of melted chocolate - tasted great, but I couldn't quite bring myself to feed it to anyone unless they were first blindfolded. For Christmas I received over 10 lbs. of See's, but not necessarily the right kinds, so I've been passing them on to people (what goes around comes around, right?!)

Sterling - seafood bisque is ever-so-decadent. There's a brand that my S/O likes - can't remember the name of it, though. It's what he makes me when he wants something from me. Though I only like a small amount, so he gets the leftovers.

I've had some good luck with the local Whole Foods store, but hate their prices and also they're a bit of a drive so I have to take an ice chest with me when I go shopping there in the spring, summer, and fall, else stuff melts/spoils on the way home.

Becky, I hadn't thought of testicles as being oily, but yeah, I can really see where one would think I said that - I gotta learn to proof-read my damn posts! *grin*

And since I am feeling poor right now (having bought heavily of both Amazon and Gourmet Pantry [needed some different sea salts]) so I have to decide between a tiny bottle of white truffle oil or a larger bottle of white truffle oil - any advice from roving gourmands? Or just people who like truffles? Or people who like oils, for that matter?

I'm absolutely serious - I have a regular Trader Joe's run for my friends back east who are TJ impaired - the more, the merrier!

*madly grinning* Oh, if you were here I'd hug you, luna!

I second (or 29th or whatever it is by now) the feeling for MsLaura! As good a new poster as we've had in ages, and a genuinely fresh and interesting voice.

I'm not normally given to flattery but MsLaura gave me loads of book recommendations (and kept them coming) and I love her for that.

Woo-hoo! My head is so swollen that I can't fit shirts over it any more, so I'm stuck wandering around in just a brassiere and then the lower-body articles of clothing. My S/Os thank you from the bottom of thier guttery-little hearts (or maybe their genitals).

*grin* But, seriously, thank you, one and all - I swear I feel totally undeserving of these alcolades, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to savor them and store them for a rainy day *smiling*
