There's a big difference between harvesting deer so there aren't too
many and starve in the winter vs harvesting them because they wreck
your landscaping and gardens. lol!

I've been watching some hunting shows lately. As soon as they kill
some animal, they spout the "politically correct" comments. "I
respect this animal, etc." IMO, if you really respected the animal,
you wouldn't have killed it in the first place. Give me a break! Such
BS!

G.

That's true. Part of the issue was the local Carolinian forest that was
being decimated from the deer population being too large. The culled deer
were consumed by the local First Nation's. The vegetation that was feeding
the deer was greatly diminished. I realize that residential areas have
encroached on the wildlife habitat, but it's a fact and culling is a way of
keeping a healthy deer population in the park. Sharon

Poor Julie. She forgets that we are not all simpletons like the three
women here who are so quick to excuse her and to defend her because they
must realize that she is too dumb to defend herself.

She said 'I was in a hurry to finish what I was writing so that I could
get out of here". Here is an example of how easy it is to catch Julie
in her lies using Thunderbird's sorting modes. Sort the messages by
thread to follow it back to where she said the teacher wanted to keep
her story to read it to previous years. Then sort the posts unthreaded,
then by time, then my sender.


The originally idiocy was posted at 8:05 pm in my time zone. She then
stuck around for and posted another message every minute or two until
9:01, posting 28 more messages. She claims to have been in too much of a
hurry to get out of here, but stuck around long enough to post 28 more
messages. Ironically,the thread is about her propensity for lying.

What the person accused you of is irrelevent; you defended yourself by
saying you ARE a writer.

All your posts are archived by google. The writer boasts you made are
in your posts so there is no ****ing point disputing it or Cheri
claiming she never saw those posts therefore the many who did are all
liars.

She has a bit of a point. We really don't know why she wrote what she
did. Maybe she was lying when she wrote that she was a writer. Maybe it
was a lie when she wrote that she was not. Maybe it was a lie when she
said that she never said she was a writer. There is no context out of
which it could have been taken. She quite clearly wrote the words "I am
a writer", and she dis so several times.

I sure wish the deer around here would take an interest in the live oak
tree sprouts that are invading my front yard. I'd let them decimate all
they want.

My property tax and utilities can be paid online. No charge for a debit or credit card for utilities,
and only 40 cents for property tax IF it is paid by listing your direct bank account wire and account
numbers. It is a much higher fee to pay P tax by credit or debit card.

Bullshit. POS stands for Point of Sale. According to Wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_sale

"A retail point of sale system typically includes a cash register (which
in recent times comprises a computer, monitor, cash drawer, receipt
printer, customer display and a barcode scanner) and the majority of
retail POS systems also include a debit/credit card reader."

In other words, a cash register.

IOW, making sure the right price tags/signs are on the shelves. Whew.
Glad we cleared that up!

I guess proofreading isn't your strong point, either. Ever heard of
save to draft? You don't have to hit SEND every time you write something.

We all make mistakes. I've got nothing against you, really, Julie.
Still, we don't really need a daily play-by-play of the minutia of your
life. I cleaned the toilets and tubs and mopped the bathroom floor
today. Guess what? No one cares, so I don't post about it.

And before you say (again) you're done with this thread, remember this:
you're the one who brought up lost keys. Car keys, mailbox keys. Can't
keep your key ring in your huge purse on a tether (good idea, sf!) or
have a purse with a pocket. Or stash the keys in one place so everyone
can find them. You're the one who brought it up. The rest of us just
ran with it.

If she did that she would not be able to keep up the extraordinary rate
of 30 messages posted per hour. It might even give her time to get her
story straight.

Of course she can't follow sf's suggestion of a tether. Her MO is to
complain and look for advice and support, and then trash the
suggestions. It gives here something to post about.

I always see fresh popcorn popping in the machine. Don't movie
theaters put real butter on their popcorn? Why wouldn't Target?

Do you think that Orville's popping corn is really that much different
from other popping corn? It is just dried out corn.

For some reason, it not only tastes a *lot* better to me - it pops
better too. Not nearly as many duds as the other brands. I don't buy
popcorn via the internet, so I'm just talking about ordinary grocery
store popcorn. Grocery store popcorn is all "innie", but I'll spring
for shipping charges someday and try popcorn from the internet that's
an outie (mushroom).

I'm partial to the white popcorn myself. If I do buy the larger yellow
corn, it has to be a hulless variety. Whatever you buy, don't waste your
money on the Pop Secret Jumbo Popping Corn. It's the worst tasting stove
popcorn I've ever had.

Sigh to you and steve. There are always exceptions. I'm talking about
neighborhoods with single family houses and yards. No lock box things
down the street like you have. I have never seen that in a "normal"

You really do hate losing, don't you?

Again, my whole point was neighborhoods with single family homes with
yards. I've never seen a down the street lockbox for the street, etc.
All neighborhoods here have individual mailboxs and no locks on them.

Exactly! People would actually have to come up with something else to
talk about. They could try cooking and posting about food, but food
doesn't seem to be as popular a topic around here.

You're in an older city/community and don't travel far from home. I
think it's done more out often west anyway.

I don't want any chemical corn. Microwaved is awful. Movie corn is
disgusting. Pan popped in oyl is morbid. The best popcorn is air
popped, drizzled with *real butter*.

Agreed! The corn popped on the stove in smoking
oyl is the worst... not only is it TIAD it'll kill you.
Anyone who likes popcorn need an air popper.

Your only function here is to be made fun of. And you're pathetic enough to encourage it. Too bad your porky daughter is going to have to live with the collateral damage. Since you've been half-witted enough to positively identify her by name, image and location on the internet. What a great mom!

This is classic! She's become such a bothersome ****, even the nicer people want nothing to do with her!

That is indeed what it stands for. However, the job that I had entailed
quite a bit of things. My team was in charge of all of these things, and
making sure that everything was running and being operated as they should.

A lot more than that Jill. If I had to list out every single thing that we
did in a day, it would read like a novel. I've already written enough. I
retired from that job almost 20 years ago. No need to rehash it all.

I did that stuff too. Okay, shower and not tub. I don't post about
everything I do. Not even close to it.

So? I posted of it. You posted of butter and margarine. Do I pick your

I may have had an Icee as a child. If I did, I don't remember. I know I
had a few Slurpees. Not many. Even some of the sugar free ones. Didn't
really care for them but when it is hot, I sometimes want something super
cold. The Icee sounded appealing. Angela liked it. I did not. It was
very sweet. I don't like things that are very sweet. And now thanks to you
I know why it was so sweet. I won't have one again. Now let's just drop
it. K?

I don't know if I did or not. Even though I lived in NY, looking at
mailboxes was not what I did.

You're right. And even when *I* try to make a post about food, they turn it
into something else. I also gather that in their world, everything is black
and white. If you like something, you always have to like it. If you
dislike something, you always have to dislike it. You can't ever try a new
thing. If you do, then you are somehow lying or backpedaling. Everything
is always the same. Nothing ever changes. I'm glad I don't live in that
world.

OB Food: Edmonds (where I grew up) has food at school parties. For
birthdays and such, they are allowed to bring in pencils or stickers. Or
even extra recess. No food. Some parents are complaining.
