What to Talk About???

[Marilyn]

It's really hard to start new threads here. Life is basically religion, work and politics. Religion and politics are apparently off limits, and you certainly don't want to hear the boring stuff that is going on at work. (At the risk of sounding political, I'm so sick of their bigoted jokes there anyway. Yesterday the big joke was that the rose garden will be plowed under in January and replaced with a watermellon patch. Please, please, can't we be better than that????)

Weight Watchers is going pretty well, but that's pretty boring, too.

Lets see, I'm going to the Peddler's show with some friends Saturday morning and a wedding Saturday afternoon and a gospel meeting Saturday evening.

My life is pretty routine since the girls are gone. Hubby and I are doing well, just day to day stuff though.

Don't want to talk about the economy. That's pretty much a bummer.

What can we talk about????

We can all be respectful towards each other, I don't see why any topics should be off limits.

There's the weather, doggies, cost of gas, cost of electricity, cost of groceries, helping each other, etc. And, there's always our kids to talk about. What's wrong with talking about our jobs? Just talk!

I don't get your post Marilyn. We can talk about anything here except politics so what is the big deal? I would think the ladies feelings here would come first over your political beliefs.

I'm personnally glad it's against the rules because every time something political comes up you try to shove your opinions down some of our throats and I think everyone should be able to have their own opinion. Since feelings get hurt here because we're made to feel we are wrong if we don't agree then those types of topics should be avoided. Simple logic really.

Guess it's time to start using the block feature again.

So are you blocking me, Janet??? and I really and truly thought that you were and are a dear friend. You're making me cry. Is that what you are trying to do????? I'm shaking now, so I guess I'll go.

I really love this forum and don't feel that I've shoved anything down anyone's throat.

We're friends.......or that is what I thought.

Peace to all!!!!!

Ladies, Ladies!!!!! We ARE friends and we can get along. I don't know what to say to help this situation.

Marilyn, Please don't leave our forum. We do value your friendship and your opinions.


All I know to do is to pray for this situation.....

Lord, we come before you in praise and thanksgiving for this day that you've given us. We thank you for this forum where we've been able to make new friends and expand our knowledge of our wonderful nation. You know that we've just had our election and that feelings are still running strong. I ask that you'd bless and impart wisdom to our new president elect, Barack Obama. I ask that your presence would be near him, guiding him all of his days as he makes decisions for our wonderful nation.

Lord, I also ask that you help to heal this rift that has arisen on our forum. I ask for peace and love for each of us that are on here. Help us to say words to build each other up and not to look for things to cause contention between us. Help each of us to have a closer walk with you and live our lives according to what you would have us to be. In your precious name I pray.....Amen
