I deleted a comment today because I knew that it would cause trouble if I left it up. It's hard to have a conversation on here because some people get bent out of shape over things that shouldn't be a big deal and aren't meant to start a fight. I'm still upset about a comment I made months ago where I said how much business I did at CVS and some people I like but don't know jumped all over me for it. I was actually embarrassed because my figure was so small. I didn't realize that it would freak people out. SD sure has changed from how it used to be.

I tend to post first and then read it back and go oh wow, I shouldn't have said it this way. I'm also a nut about typos and grammar.

I've done a lot of editing with this post. I can't help it, it's my personality.
By the way, why did you come back to SD under a new user name? I'm pretty sure I know what your old user name was, but wouldn't want to out you here since you didn't come back under that name.

All I can say is wow. I wouldn't want to deal with a brown recluse or an alligator. I've had bear encounters when I was backpacking but it was no big deal. If the bear wants to eat your food and wreck your backpack, you have to let him do it. You can hang your stuff but they'll just climb up the tree to get it. It sucks if you're a couple days out but at least you'll have a good story to tell when you get back and that's the important thing - getting back. You have to always stay safe.

I had a rottweiler that I loved very much. Sometimes after our walk he would get too excited when I'd give him a treat and accidentally touch my hand with his teeth. It wasn't a bite or anything like that but it was enough to draw blood and it hurt like hell. I can't imagine what being attacked must've been like for you. I'm so sorry.
I forgot the sharks and Man o Wars. LOL

The bears are getting to be a problem in the mornings in the neighborhood when people are walking dogs and exercising. And kids will be out at the bus stops very soon too. (Really, people are the problem. We keep expanding and taking their wooded areas so they have no place to go.)

Oh yeah, it hurt pretty bad. I had 20-something bites on my right arm (doctors best guess), around 10 on my left and a couple on my back. At least one of the sets of bites on my right arm went all the way through. Its been over two years and I still have issues on the right side. At least I can kind of talk about it now.

Finally, Chris swam out with my pants when he thought that I had suffered enough. I would've been better off in school that day...
That story was worth the price of admission! LOL

Quote from schnauzermomma :
Does anyone else ever wonder, when you can see that someone quoted you in a thread, what exactly they said when they've already edited their post and their response to your comment is gone by the tme you visit SD?

Was it a nice comment? Was it a snotty comment?

Maybe I'm the only one!

I mean, I've already been accused of spreading misinformation by a fairly new member, in a thread for a store I've shopped at for 17 years. I suppose I just shouldn't be surprised by anything these days.
I wonder too.

I know Ive said stuff about keeping store stuff in the correct store thread. It really isnt personal and it has far more to do with quoting and the store that's being discussed working it's way out of the replies after so many quotes. That can get super confusing to me. But, I never mean it in a mean way. I know I certainly can switch topics on a dime and lose people IRL so I understand the impulse!

Plus I get super jealous about the RA deals since we lost all of ours. drool

Was it someone really active on the Viggle thread? He reminds me of him...

Quote from FabulousPickle2826 :
This was in late Jan. I was getting ready to start couponing again and I signed up for SD. I was FP before I knew what happened. I would never have picked FP as my SD name. I don't even like pickles...

I'm not sure why you would want to out me or even mention that. It's not a secret. Lots of people know who I am.

MD mentioned something about a website with V. I have no idea what that is and it's definitely not me. I don't do any social media.

There was a lot of weird stuff that went on back then. It had to do with a private group that a few of us were in. Somebody decided that it would be fun to create friction between the members and I got caught in the middle of it so I left the group. Right after that, all hell broke lose. I have no idea what really happened since nobody will talk about it but I heard that there were nude pictures being sent around, affairs, and all sorts of bad stuff. I got a call from somebody's wife yelling at me for going out partying with her husband. I've never met the guy in my life and I guess he used me as an excuse for whatever he was doing. Anyway, some people in that group absolutely hated me and you may be friends with them. I can't say what's true or false because I have no idea since I wasn't there when things got really bad. All I did was stay up late and chat with some people that I considered to be friends. Nothing sexual or anything like that and definitely no pictures. The whole mess spilled over onto SD and a few people made it their mission to attack me constantly. I had enough of it so I left.
I actually said I wouldn't want to out you, I never said I was going to. Plus, I could be wrong based on my first thought, given your comments. And yeah, I don't know what V is either!

You definitely got caught up in a bunch of stuff I never heard about, though at one point I think I was in that same group. There was a time when everyone was still communicating a bunch privately, but I was getting behind at work, had some major family priorities and I more or less had to let go.

It makes perfect sense for you to come in new, if you hadn't mentioned being around back in the day, I wouldn't have known. Sorry if my question brought up bad memories for you.

FP, you did say that you dont do apps so that *would* exclude you from Viggle. I had forgotten that. It's your sense of humor that reminds me of the other person.

Viggle was an app where you could earn rewards by watching TV, playing videos, etc. You could buy cheapie cell phones and create a farm to farm Viggle rewards. In its heyday, it was great. You could earn $15 redeem for Target, use that gift card to buy a new phone that came with a $15 gift card to various food places and then you'd have another phone to add to your farm. I still have lots in Lowes, Sephora and Old Navy. I'm on my last CVS Viggle gift card now. It ended maybe 8 years ago.

It really is time for me to go. I have a busy week ahead of me spending all of my store money and getting ready for my surgery. After my recovery, I'll have to evaluate everything. If I'm not going to do printables and rebates, it doesn't make sense to do this. It's way too hard and I'm getting products that I don't want rather than what I need. My best groove is at RA and I want to continue to shop there but I don't have the computer skills that I need to do it. I'm going to delete my recent posts. It's been fun and I wish the best for everyone on here.
hugGood luck! May your surgery go well and if you decide that you are not coming back to SD, then may your life go well.Pray

Good luck and I wish you the best. Otoh, I do not understand the oft deleting of your past posts; just doesn't make sense to me but then again so many things my hubby does doesn't make sense to me either and I put you near his age, possibly a bit younger, lol.

I really hope things go well for you with your surgery, no one deserves to live with all the issues you've had. And I hope you'll at least drop in and say hi every so often even if you are not shopping.
