:laughing:
Nope, I've been busy watching the series adaptation of His Dark Materials because Trollheart's 6pack reminded me that I should
Tbh if I'm watching a Jodie Foster movie I'd either pick the Hotel New Hampshire (odd choice I know, it's for sentimental reasons) or one I haven't seen yet; I saw Flightplan a long time ago and it was entertaining but not really memorable

On the subject of queerness, the other day I received an email from a UK college I am planning to apply for an LLM, and the lady had her name and also "Pronouns: she, her" in her signature. Which was so simple and elegant and should become a standard everywhere 100 years from now. :love:

That’s becoming more and more common here. It’s part of the signature template at the company I work for.

Wow, crazy. And awesome.

Don't forget platitudinous.

I see it happening more and more too. I think it's a nice subtle touch of inclusiveness :beer:

Same at our firm as well. :)

She/Her/Ella mother****ers.

It/hey you

I think I'm gonna add it to my signature. People are generally confused what gender I am anyway ("Marijan? Like Maridjan? No, like Mariyan. Oh so like Marianne? But you're a guy?!")

So like weed?

Exactly.

and you say people don't understand me..wow, you can sure speak a different language at times....joking a side I think you seem to worry about yourselves too much..be yourselves, we are all unique anyway...take time to smell the roses....

What if you have Olfactory Deficit Disorder?

Well I had a quick search, bearing in mind it was a minute but saw and kind of knew straight away a fair view of it. Bad news, but take my grand daughter now 18 years old she started out as an IVF baby was the sperm of my daughter's husband which they had previously frozen in time as he had a double doze of testicle cancer even loosing one. He had come back from a duty in the Northern Ireland and one day his army mates right next to him got blown to smithers..dead all dead except him and he just got little scars to his face..but the after shock is believed to have caused the cancer. Sorry going on here...
Grand daughter born a perfect baby and she was so so good almost too good having had 3 myself and aware of how they can be a nightmare. She first hated noise..fireworks shouting music, became jumpy nervous over a lot of stuff..found she was dyslexic soon once at infants school. Move to early teenager years where she was a valid and keen member of the sea cadets.
She struggled with the cadets training at times but made good friends quite easily so a good plus. She went on a trip with the sea cadets to Canada and starting cutting herself and had to be flown back home..It went on, over any stressful periods and had Psychoanalysis and talking treatments on a regular basis. Ups and downs and our daughter unfortunately got breast cancer at this period and had a double mastectomy but was so so serious nobody thought she would live through it ,so grand daughter who was now having to take a back seat,but fell in love with a fella and moved in with him,not all the time as she came back and forth between homes...My daughter was good with her daughter husband had turned to drink and lost his driving license and his job. They sold up and moved to within a few metres of us in Bexhill. Grand daughter is still receiving treatment as the cutting does not stop although it is done less now at 18 years of age. She has issues obviously and my first now disowned Son, first son has OCD also..We do have a lot of stuff going on in the family, well a lot do. Wish you some peace...sorry for errors..if any have done a lot of editing though..

Alright I made up Olfactory Deficit Disorder so I don't know how you got a whole wall of text about it.

^I'm torn because in itself that's really funny, but said wall of text is actually a tragic story, as far as I can follow it. If it's true Dianne has seen some troubles

hey if it is true................. that is an insult to my integrity Marie.

I would never. I'm a liar.

It's not really meant personally, as far as my personal opinion of you goes I'm inclined to believe you. It's more the uncertainty of reading a long story which you don't fully understand by an anonymous person on the internet

But whatever the intention, for an attempt to gently nudge Batty towards sensitivity it was a bit insensitively phrased, sorry about that

excuse me, so he makes up a complaint and get me pouring out my heart, that is in the gutter stuff and say I am insensitive, you could not be further from the truth.

nonono I'm saying both Batty and I were being insensitive in our own ways
sorry but lol

ok text are ****e
you know I do move on from ****e so easy, so that is a plus for me, not easy for many though.

Most of her posts are rambling walls of text about at least three unrelated subjects and someone always dies or is maimed. I just take the first part of her posts that's actually in reference to the subject at hand and ignore the rest.

yeah I usually don't read rambling walls of text unless they're in the gay thread so what do I know

I think you so so cruel and I guess your right in a lot of that, I get ramble issues a lot but then we are all human,just a mix of genes that do not always act as you would wish, and my way is out of here, so you can find somebody else to kick now.

And so I'm part of diving away Dianne I guess :(
I'm sorry to see her go

We are all responsible for our own reactions and emotions.
No one asked you to spill your guts, lady.

God damn what did I miss?

who/what?

---

in any case, I don't think Dianne's indignant reaction was justified, or that anyone is really to blame for her leaving like this, but still I don't like to see her upset. It doesn't help that situations like these really have my sense of humour conflicting with what I consider my mod duties. It's like she was sent from above to test my mod professionalism

WendyCal was an older lady with a bunch of alt accounts that told a lot of very emotional and deeply personal stories in between posting Disney channel starlette music videos who would get very angry and abusive when she didn’t receive therapy from musicbanter.com in return. Around 2010 maybe? Adi might remember.

that does sound like a heightened version of the present saga

I mean she keeps responding to people with posts that are 90% random stories about herself and her issues like everyone else is just here to read her sad anecdotes. Something tells me whoever hit her with a brick had had it up to here with Dianne's ****.

got no idea who your talking about it is all in your sad mind. I have had a life of abuse in my upbringing I have scars I have hate in my soul for people like you who sit in judgement of anything or anyone that comes along with stuff that you just sit and judge and hurt people...you no nothing...your sad and abusive and I never wish you to speak with me again....I am living a happy life right now and you or anybody can never take that away from me...anybody can shout and swear but I do not need to now as I find that you will look at yourself one day and see what your are...

Sure Charles, it's like every person comes with a user manual, and some are more difficult or unreasonable than others, but as a mod I wanted to be considerate about hers. Not entirely successful at that, but oh well. I'm surprised she managed to stick around this long actually

edit: oh lol you're back, nvm
actually now that you're here, if you're willing to take my advice, I would ignore discussions outside of the forum content you enjoy like Trollheart's journals. Participating in it doesn't seem to do you good

[QUOTE=DianneW;2176289]*you're

Lol I just saw a Monica Lewinsky tweet and her Twitter name is "Monica Lewinsky (she/her)". It's nice to know she went through all that **** and can still care about others. If I sucked that ghoul's dick and got dragged through the media as a 20-something kid I can't say I wouldn't have become consumed with my own issues at the expense of everyone else.
