There have been some pretty heated debates/discussions in this subforum over the years. Some of them seem to get pretty personal. I share a bit of blame in it too. Just so you know, I don't hold a grudge, and I hope you don't either. ~hugs~

[William Tell]

We know.

[amy31416]

I don't hold grudges for long. And I have to be having a pretty $#@!ty day to be mean, which I have been...I apologize for that.

[Muwahid]

Even me?

[heavenlyboy34]

Even me?

Yup, even you.

I know that sometimes I come off as too strong. Sometimes I read what I wrote back to myself and think--gee I sound a lil harsh, but I don't mean to be. It's really hard to relate with just words sometimes. You can't see or hear the tones and inflections of people when they speak or look into their eyes and know that they really just want to help.

So to anyone I might have offended? I'm so sorry--didn't mean to--never did. Huggypies to everyone.

[Suzanimal]

I don't hold a grudge either, even when some $#@! calls me a bitch.

~hugs~

LMAO-- Whenever someone called me a bitch, I'd just say--"that's right and don't you forget it either".

[Deborah K]

Same. I know that sometimes my snark is taken seriously. And sometimes I come off like I'm lecturing - it's cuz I'm an old, cranky broad. Don't hold it against me.

I once saw a bumper sticker that read: You call me a bitch like it's a bad thing.

Pfft, I don't care, I've been called worse by better people.

Those were funny.

And I have been thrown out of better bars.

I think one of the most remarkable things I've been called here was "slut" by Nang. I felt like a teenager after that, I mean just how many 59 yo'ds can you call a "slut" these days? Too bad she was serious, because we could have really laughed that one off together otherwise.

[William Tell]

Even me?

Pussy.

Forgiveness kicks ass. Love is forgiveness. Some folks are a lot easier to love, some folks not so much... but with daily practice...

Ouch! Who put these burning coals on my head?

Proverbs 25:21–22
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.

22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.

Here's a little piece from one of my favorite resources:

The “burning coals” represent the enemy’s conscience. It will bother him when he receives kindness instead of retaliation for mistreating you. The burning is painful, yet at the same time beneficial. It helps him come to repentance. The reward from God is a clear conscience and, we would pray, the good will of a former enemy.

Contrary to the erroneous picture some have of the Old Testament as being full of revenge, this proverb is in keeping with Mosaic Law: “If you come across your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to take it back to him. If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help him with it” (Exodus 23:4, 5).

One’s enemy might be a stranger, a neighbor, or even a family member. Whoever it happens to be, we are to treat him with forgiveness and love.
This proverb is quoted in Romans 12:20. There it is part of a wonderful passage in which the apostle Paul tells Christians not to repay evil with evil but to overcome evil with good.
Ehlke, Roland Cap: Proverbs. 2nd ed. Milwaukee, Wis. : Northwestern Pub. House, 2001 (The People's Bible), S. 253

That donkey part reminds me of someone trying to carry around a grudge. "Here, let me help you with that grudge." Good stuff.

Have you been drinking again?

Are you saying he stopped at some point?

Have you been drinking again?

I don't drink. Or smoke. Or use any other mind-altering substances. Not conducive to a healthy state of being-at least, not for me. Your experience may vary.

[heavenlyboy34]

lolz.. Since when does having a tiny glass of O'Mara's once a year count as "drinking" (in the perfective verb aspect, which is how it is used in this context)?

I tend to do things in moderation, but I'd have to be zonked out of my head to tell this bunch that I loved them all. Ah heck, I guess I do

If I told you you have a nice body, would you hold it against me?

Different strokes for different folks. As a general rule, I love everyone unless they give me reason not to.

Johnny Winters loves everybody too.

I'm a Midwestern boy of mainly German heritage. We like other people. We just don't like to be mushy about it.
