Good luck on your sweeps!! I guess it is time for the boring people to take over! Lets just see how much boring weather and polish food we have to catch up on in the morning!! Night darlin!!

Have not seen you on in awhile. Enjoying all the rain we have been having in Ohio.

Just catching up on posts and this is the second reference to "boring polish food" conversations as well as weather conversations.

First of all, we are a group of people from all walks of life, from all over the US (I assume limited to US anyway), different races, multiple gender, variety of ages, brought together because of OWTW, increasing membership often and welcoming new members. This blog was put together to discuss ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. Topics can't interest everyone all the time. Not possible. Personally, I am an 80/20 person. If you like 80% of something, keep it as you will very seldom get 100% of anything.

That said, weather in particular---has been CRAZY this year. Some places it feast or famine, alot of places it is destructive. The storms that have taken hundreds of lives and caused great destruction. That affect us all, whether you knew someone or not directly affected--it hurts your state, it hurts our economy, it hurts our moral. It is nice to have a place to come unload, even if sad, it is nice to hear you aren't alone going though things. Personally, I am very lucky, I have three sets of family members within near misses of the Tuscaloosa mess and I have family in KY that their town is flooded completely. No way to get food in or out. Can you imagine? I don't believe I talked about weather over the last couple of days but for those of you that did, please feel free. These are times outside the norm and everyone needs to feel like they have a support system. Heck, I have a garden and no rain, which pisses me off, just in general, I guess at mother nature. I feed a few elderly couples, they rely on me to eat and I rely on my garden as I am unemployed and it helps out. Just a place to vent sometimes.

As far as the polish food, well I suppose I carried most of that conversation though didn't start it nor did I have it by myself. The point was not to educate or bore you with polish heritage but it was something Ronnie-Tree picked up on and interacted with as well as the Cleopatra conversation. For alot of people, I think the point of the night was to keep her focused on something else except the passing of her father and all that is to come over the next week before it will settle down as well as show her some support. I know, everyone, including me, needs to express our condolences and that is sad so we all worked at keeping her focused on something else. At any time, anyone could have interjected any other topic for us to pick up on at any time.

This used to be a great place to hang out especially in the evening and hell, maybe we need to give Marlboro a call and see if they can start another contest which requires us to focus our energy on something to rebuild the team. I am pretty thick skinned about things so you aren't offending me personally but your comment really misses the mark on what I think this blog was put together for. So you were bored, fine, you're entitled, can't please everyone all the time but do something to make it more entertaining for you but there is no reason to interject the negativity. Hasn't there been enough of that lately? NO, not bringing it up, don't really know what happened, don't really care as not my business, but can't this be a nice place to hang? I know I will get lots of flack for this post and have at it, never been one to care what people think about me anyway. I am not trying to offend anyone but bring some understanding to motives sometimes behind the scenes. Sometimes, there is a positive agenda.

And jemeredith, I am sorry, I don't know you, I am sure you are a wonderful person, I am just responding to your post because of the polish thing but yours isn't the only one, just the most convenient.
