You should contact TV people. You could make a fortune with
a sit-com or a reality show, just called, "Julie."
I'm serious too. All your episodes would be a big hit.

If not that, consider writing a book. You say you're a writer.
So many of your stories here are odd yet interesting to read.

You have great material and a good writing style.
Don't let your talent go to waste here.

Nothing "low life" about Julie. Stop being so damn mean.
She's one of the very few always nice people in this group.
Interesting and odd stories and always creative responses.

Easy to pick on because she never fights back.
Same with John K. That's another nice fellow.
Unique in his own way too.

Bullies like people that never fight back.

There must not be very many bullies here then. By your criterion,
you are one of the only bullies.

Logic:
A. Bullies like people that never fight back.
B. [Julie] never fights back.
C. Most folks here do not like Julie.
D. Therefore, most folks here must not be bullies.

Creative? That's what you call that? She lies and makes up excuses
to cover up th lies.

Regardless, the price of Coke is no more expensive than it was
before. Please try and keep track of the conversations and don't
let her distract you with these "creative" replies.

You have got to be kidding. There is everything low life about her.

John Kuthe never tells any of us to **** OFF? Your idea of a "nice

I have written books. Just never tried to get them published. I have short
stories published under a pen name. I will not give that name here.

The price of beverages in cans has gone up here. At least soda, seltzer etc.
There is a can shortage. I can't speak for canned juice, beer, etc. as I
rarely buy those. Bottled soda is cheaper than canned. At least it is here.

Creative Bryan but you know that's not what he was saying.

Julie has no mean streak. Plain and simple. Those of us who like her,
are not known as bullies nor are we in any way.

She may be confused and confusing at times, but she's not a mean person
at all.

She is confused and confusing because she lies so much she can't keep
her stories straight.

Kick a friendly dog often enough
and he'll bite the hell out of you.

Is she lying? Or directly answering?

If you asked me 5 years ago if I liked Beets, it would be an emphatic
no. Ask me now, and I still hate pickled beets, sweet or not, but
regular ones suit me fine.

Couldn't it be the case that Julie is the biggest liar, *and* Dave is the
most boring? I'm the meanest, right?
