I Have a Question...or Seven

Forgive my ignorance, but I am really not in-the-know with all the undercurrents of nefariousness in the former incarnations of the bookshelf.

Am I supposed to pick a side?  I just don't understand the new order of things, so can you explain it to me?  I visited the abookshelf2.org practically every day, though I rarely posted comments and never posted an actual new topic.  

I'm very happy to have been invited here, and I see that I am in good company.  My guess is that this was created so that we could enjoy ourselves in the absence of certain people and their tendencies towards certain types of posts.

Is there something I'm too stupid to pick up on with the split of the site, or do each of you plan on participating both here and the one that Cyber and Rosa and Kath are creating.

Please let me know.  

Your pal,
Respighi (whose real name is Jenny...and I'm enjoying a Lime Dreyer's frozen fruit bar..sooo tasty)

As far as I am concerned, there are no sides. I like having choices, and I like seeing people here who were not interested in participating in the old site because of its overall vibe. Why not enjoy both?

Respighi Jenny,

You don't have to pick a side (and don't pick your nose either.)

I view you as a good old broard and that's why you were invited.

Try Haagen Daz Mango sorbet. It's Heavenly.

"My guess is that this was created so that we could enjoy ourselves in the absence of certain people and their tendencies towards certain types of posts."


....and, yes.

Brenda said...

i don't think anyone here picked a side. i just moved to the other side of the neighborhood.

Jenny Robin said...

Ok, good. Thanks.

And Emma, if I can't pick sides and I can't pick my nose, can I pick the other side's nose(s)?

And I don't know how to do extended entry...never tried it...but I know people got mad at others for not doing it on the old site, so you'll hafta learn me or forgive me. But apparently, don't pick my nose. Emma cain't stand fer no nose pickin'.

Jenny,

I really like minute maid mango or strawberry bars. it's just pureed fruit frozen on a stick.

I plan to participate at both places as long as i feel like it. i'm happy to see people who had left the old site coming back. some people get on my nerves, but i'm sure i get on a few myself, so we're even.


I'm also happy for tree, she no longer has to be shelf mom to us all. quitting her job and quitting the shelf mom gig must mak eher life so much easier. yay tree.

No sides at all, Jenny. I say you can post wherever you want, whenever you want. Dangit, it's a free internet.

vq said...

Btw, I sent a little note earlier to Rosa and Mike to thank them for taking on the job of running the site. I rather expect that they'll be very good at it--and Kath too, of course. I told them that at this time, I wasn't requesting posting privileges, but that I would be stopping by to read.

Clank Napper said...

Definitely on my side.

mavis sidebottom said...

Im on both but then Im a right tart

vq said...

It's what we love about you.

mavis sidebottom said...

I might not be on the other one much longer if that inane fuckwit calls me meme one more time

Brenda said...

i was wondering how long it would take.

Maryetta said...

What may you post and what may you not?
A few pointers (It's been a while, so if I forget any...feel free to add some)
No rhapsodizing about King, Grisham, Steele, Koontz or Rice.
Kathryn does not like to be referred to as a "guy".
Do NOT bring up Murf's failed love affair. I know it's been eleven years, but the thought of it still makes her want to go out and HURT someone.
Do not rhapsodize about Princess Diana. Mum can't stand it.
Do not ask for homework help. Do not help anyone with homework.
Don't bring up Tony Blair or that new Brown guy. Again, Mum won't stand for it. I kind of like Tony myself...oh well, I see Mum's coming, so MUM's the word.
Don't bring up George W. Verb and most of the rest of the people here (with one notable exception) won't stand for it (unless you want to bash him of course, than that will be perfectly all right, with one notable exception).
Do NOT bash Richard Nixon. You may try, but I will make it my life's mission to make your life miserable if you do.
Do weigh in on celebrities clothing choices. This is a speciality of both Emma and me, but anyone can join in the fun.
Do use the verbs "lie" and "lay" correctly or....see note about Nixon.
That's all I can think of at the moment. If I think of more later, I will write ....more.

And I'm

Murf

Nice work, Murf, nice work.

vq said...

P.S. Alex, I love you.

"I might not be on the other one much longer if that inane fuckwit calls me meme one more time"

Hey! *I* call you MEME!

mavis sidebottom said...

you my little hoosier can call me meme, you have earned the right so to speak and anyway Im irrational

vq said...

Now the phrase "that inane fuckwit" keeps floating through my mind and making me smile. Thanks, A.

Gail said...

inane fuckwit-what a wonderful description. I must include this in my descriptions of certain people.

Jilly said...

i had to go look and see just who the inane fuckwit was, because honextly several people sould fit that description at times, and i have to agree with Alex, what an annoying fuckwit. I was going to ask if you'd said something like "her you skanky ho, don't call me meme" but you probably have. one of these days some people will be forced to take their medication and communication will be possible.

I can hope

And a laugh about some very old broards. As far as I can determine this is real. You should be able to copy and paste the link, if it doesn't work.

TURN YOUR SOUND ALL THE WAY UP.

CAR ACCIDENT IN TEXAS... PRICELESS!!

The accident occurred in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
This is a phone call from a man who witnesses the accident involving four elderly women.
It was so popular when they played it on C.H.U.M. FM, they put it on their website. The guy's laugh is contagious.
