Dam I missed the SPAM- Updated for that scolding Doris

Rate: 36 Flag

Been missing the OS community but just have had to be offline 24/7.

My life has become something for bad movies and ... that's about it for now.... ahem!

This morning I  was able to log on for the first time in a straight week.

Saw that some Spam fighting insurgence went on and thought , "How fun so wish I could join in." Didn't even get a chance to read one.

 Then was alerted to some form of Dust up where someone has SCOLDED the participants of this Spam insurrection.

This is a post that aims to say hello to all my OS palsies( and you know who you are,) and to firmly SCOLD scolders of all stripes.

 I rather be spammed than scolded. Scolding must be reserved for ...ancient seniors, perhaps. Judges too can get away with lots of scolding as can parents of toddlers.

 Life is Absurd. OS is therefore also absurd. OS is  fun sometimes. It has benefits. Some fine souls reside within its cyber walls. Many keep coming back for more.  Some flee or flounce too. That's the way it is. It's only  sooooo0000  serious when somebody is dying or has died.

Seriousness must be reserved for serious occassions . With all doo respect, the effort for us all to rise up together for  a silly anti-spam cause is not serious.

As I said, there is a hypocrisy inherent in this silly post -- I am scolding scolders.

Perhaps a Shakepeare quality sonnet got lost in the frenzy. So what. The management has shown us all little regard and we should all get pissy more often, to be honest.

For a long time I have wanted to admonish  scolds. Thank you.

My father used to scold me. I stopped listening to anything after that.. I like you like some nice peace and quiet and good words.
Those are hard to find these days. At least the spam is silent.

HUGGGGGGGGGG
Fernsy! Be careful about scolding the scolders, they are verrrrrry serious scolders. BTW, when can you give us an update on your travail? Glad you could make it!
Grand to read you lass. I thought the "Spam Fest" was a fine uprising of a frustrated people. Venting the spleen is good for the soul. I tend to ignore the "scolders" especially when some rather unfortunate comparisons are made trying to undermine the effort and shame the participants.
Strength and peace.

Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spammity Spam, Spammity Spam!!! I'm the one to blame. Friday Morning I put up a post with a little rant and what I hoped might be some constructive suggestions:
http://open.salon.com/blog/jmac1949/2012/06/08/fkin_spam_bots_recaptcha_a_fix_that_every_it_idiot_kno

... and kablooey! Everyone has been jumping on board and so far I've seen very little scolding... just a few polite objections to some of the ideas that have been proposed.

I'll be posting a harmless graphic proposal for Monday AM which may get some attention at OS IT Admin and the ED_I_TOR. Drop by and check it out... join the party.
Linda: Hey there. Missed you. I refuse to be scolded. Will only tolerate if not tolerating it will get me arrested.
Mattsy: really hate over serious scolds. Bane of my existence. Silly silly silly. Would love to update cause wow what a friggin dreamlike madness is happening. Hopefully will give some updates soon. Thanks for asking.
Scylla: You are one of the main reasons I am so drawn to OS. I missed the posts but I got the gist and it looked great. It didn't remotely resememble mob mentality or sociopathic hate crimes. again an ahem.
Jmac: Ah, so you're the instigator. Shame Shame Spam spam. Will join the party if I can. I think I might clog the feed with anti scold posts so I hope your post doesn't get eaten alive.
We could have all written one letter and have it signed be everyone, demanding that Spam be wiped off the face of the earth (or at least OS, probably stretching it a bit, huh?) and it would not have gotten as much attention as all the fun posts and comments that were written. I would bet the people in charge where drunk and laughing their asses off all night. Let's hope they all have the hangover from hell!
fernsy? I've enjoyed the fern ' fiddleheads'

I mentioned they taste like buttered beans.

I worry I ate to many. I lost my "mild breast."

A doc wrote in RX papers I have mild fat breast.

People who think 'stuff' makes sense are f'ed`UP.
The Screwed-Up creeps run for Big Shits positions.
If folk were here we'd have a Spot Of Tea. Rita etc..

Creeps who think they are cool? Spell like Rotten Eggs.
I hate the smell of Spam cans. Yep. LIFE IS ABSURD.
There are a few inner-secrets. No tell. Just smooch.
Scanner: Definately. Whatever works. I bet some great stuff was written. Hope to catch up on it asap.
Art: Mild fat breast? How intriguing. LIFE IS ABSURD ABSOLUTELY. Smooch your mild fat breast for me. Tea with you and Rita sounds excellent.
Nice to see you and this. It's these kind of skimmerishes that convice me adults and children are one in the same. That isn't meant to insult anyone. I adore children.
Neighbors that kill your grass for their own selfish purposes deserve a sound scolding, as well, and maybe a tit for tat.
Scolding scolders as they soldier on to stop spam . . . oh, but I wax profound here.
Yeah! You are back! (Which sort of proves, we do have feelings for each other when regulars go "off-line").

As usual, you have put your finger on the nerve of the issue.

Damn, now where is my OS Novocaine needle? Gonna check under da couch.
Really? Seriously? You're going to scold now? When you haven't even put a photo of a plain donut in your post? Not even a single french fry or leftover frosting, drawing from your sister. Doo is a typo my fanny, you wretched girl. Where is your heart? Can you not feel my need for French cruellers on the monitor.

I have had to look at photos of fried SPAM!!! Go look for yourself you hypocrite! God help me, my retinas are still burning but have I once complained? No, I have suffered in silence. I have put up posts like this and I include a photo. You used to give us a photo too but now you're on your high horse. Well I never...

I failed to mention I ordered off the senior menu at IHOP. Sigh, I also get to scold. I loooove being old and crazy. Did I mention all the Whoops Errors annoyed me???

Maybe you need a serious rant about something other than your own life. I hope things are going okay with you, I wish you felt only smiles inside. Apple fritters to you sweet heart.
Congratulations! You're # 66 on "OS's CREATIVE FORCE:ΤΗΙS COMMUNITY ROCKS" list by Stathi Stathi. :o)

So glad to see you, Fernsy!

R♥
i mean... not even a plain donut!

fernsy! ;~)
Mimetalker: Yes, we are all children. Some kids are adorable -- some(many?) not so much. Good to see you too.
Justphylissfornow: Yes, a scolding for sure. Tit for tat or just blind vengeance also has its place.
Erica: Waxing profound is wonderful.
Kate: What a lovely comment. Thank you.
Doris: You scolding scolder you. LOL for real on your vicious comment. eat your words when you see my update. Next I'll post a fry. Or is it frie? I really don't know. Please, don't further scold. Please see update asap.
Fusun: Good old Stahi Stahi. Thought she was a sweet Greek fellow and it turned out she's a pretty young girl. Will check out her blog asap. I hate saying asap but it's an acronym that helps. good to see you Fusun! As you know, you are my mija.
AmyA: Super Thank you!
MyfavoriteVenezuluan(spelling bad today sorry): Please check update. Will update again considering your comment. xo
I love it when you bring your sense of humour with you ...

Best wishes, fernsy :-)
I'd be sad if we missed something, but I think we're all pretty good at separating the wheat from the chaff. It's just there's a crap ton of chaff around these days! May it decrease.
You missed one hell of a party!! It was awesome!!! :D

There was scolding? Spankings too? :D
Bravo for getting to the heart of the matter. And welcome back. Hope all is okay.
So glad to see you back. I hope everything is OK!
Hear hear! Yesterday I went to Lamar's, a donut legend in the KC metro area, and bought several glazed donuts and two cherry-filled bismarks(sp?) covered in white frosting. My blood sugar level might return to a normal level by Monday...
"Soldier not scolder"??? Is that more like a bitch bitching about somebody bitching or more like a person who has made a career out of writing posts about being bullied and threatened being best Mattie buddies with somebody who TRIES (unsucessfully) to bully and threaten?

Say hi to Kate for me too. Maybe she will write another one of those EP winning "How I crashed my bike and landed on my face" posts. Those are GREAT!
Is that a glazed doughnut or a plain bagel?
I would love to scold but it only seems to work on my husband...no one else is scared of me.
Oh! Ohhhhhh, enormous sigh. I lovelovelove food pictures. Off now to drizzle chocolate syrup over double berry cheesecake ice cream with fresh strawberries. Maybe later I'll have candy while watching my pilates CD.

Thanks fernsy, you are a good friend.
Hi,Fernsy,it is monday morning,shortly after 3 a.m.Yesterday,no chance,only very early when the US was asleep,I managed just one entry.That was it for the rest of the day,
I hope you have had fun.
Kim: Best wishes much appreciated. Thank you.
Nilesite: yes, the chaff is too plentiful. I do feel as if I missed something fun and cool.
Tink: But was there a lone donut? The party continues!
Jl: Thanks. It seems that my mission to eradicate much seriousness might have some takers :)
Deborah: Hey! Thanks. good to see you.
Nanatahay! Never heard of a bismark donut so can't correct spelling. Lamars sounds like another reason to live .Hope your blood sugar always stays stable. Great to see you.
Leaping: It's a glazed donut for doris and inverted.
Snarky: I'm a terrible scolder too . I was a joke as camp counselor. The kids would be like " you need to scold us" and I just couldn't.
Doris: Ha ha watch Mari Windsor while eating dinner. xooo
HeidiB: Hope you had fun too, dear.
What? No chocolate?
LOL
Het, GF! So GOOD to see you. Boy, you missed quite a rebellion--pitchfork-carrying peasants at the gate, and everything! Hope it actually will get us to act with ever more cohesion in future.
My best to you!
:)
R
THE PARTY GOES ON...;D
Scolders are annoying! But its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, a lesson I learned from my children!
PW: It sounds so fun. Rebellion is great. Insufferable scolds be damned as we seek a spam free site. Again, so glad to have you back. You put the TAY in PAR- TAY.
Tink: It does!
AsiaRein: Hmmm. Can't figure that one out. Will keep trying. Good to see you.
You won't be getting an RP after this, Fernsy, but I am with you. Scolding is worse than spamity spam spam spam.
You DOO know I love you...right?
fern-woman: Aren't you sweet! So good to have you around, GF! be ready for our second Chicks-only par-tay next month!
:)
@ Poor Woman -- Chicks only???? Uhm.....just in case you wondered...I'm NOT a chick...and you know..I like to par-tay ........... Root Beer and the works!!!
Is that a Dunkin Donut or Krispy Kreme donut? R
Sorry, JD! it's a Foodie Tuesday Chicks' Night In event. Guys generally like different moveis than we wimmins. No use pretending, but y'all do. If you guys choose to hold your own party, however, we might find it fun to peep in on occasionally!
A DUDE'S party???
Yeah....with sprinkles...
You could decide to hold it at your blog, then invite the other guys. You can all snort, hawk, spit, belch, scratch, and do the caveman thing ove BBQ and other guy-type goodies.
Why not?
Uhm.....'cause I like chicks???

Oh well....... Ferns....my friend.....you are a RIOT !!!! :)
All the same, we tend to hang out in our p.j.'s and give each other facials and eat chick grub and watch chick flicks.
Wouldn't want your dear lady wife to get the wrong idea, now, would we?
If she gets Donny Osmond, then it is all over for me anyway.
Moot point ! :)
Always a pleasure to see you, my friend, and what Matt said. R
FernsyFerns, you never know when Art will come by in the truck for us; stand at the ready. He drinks Fat Tire Beer not tea ...Hi!
Miguela: Ha. No RP for me evah!
JD: I Doo love you too.'
PW: I'll be there , dear. JD is an honorary chick. I tell ya.
Trudge: It's a generic copyrighted google image donut.
Toth: Always good to see you too. Matt is wise. Serious scolders are not
Rita: Fat tire? You are right!
Fernsy,I too can not stand scolds and I like you very much for your "I am scolding scolders".And I have admired Kate too!!!I think that there is a decency in one that writes his/hers oρinions with arguments and ρositivity.Rated (and the list numbers is totally accidental!!!!)Best wishes!!!
I join the lists of SCOLDER like not so muchers.
My family scolds me enough
for my blatantly sexual poetry
while all the while I thought it was so full of
vague innuendo
I've only used the word cock in 2 poems
and thats because me poetry professor dared me
he said, prize and jewel were trite and overused
nice to see you even with all of your being busy
I hope you write about it someday
I will be here to read
if OS is here and not turned over to the SPAMMERS
I do wonder what I would do if I did not have
ample knowledge of the next soccer game
rated with love
Rated.....
too bad ya missed it....was a helluva good time had by "all?"...
STAHI: I just wanted to comment to you on the readers pick page but comments were closed. Yes, bullies and scolds have already sunk the readers picks into the toilet. I love your defense of what's right and good and your standing up against insufferable phonies. You make the Greeks proud!
SteeleBreeze: I'm settting time aside on the weekend to read as many as possible. If you are a new... welcome. Aside of a very few nasty scolds most are lovely here.
RP: Ha ha. Only twice. Cute you. I don't go much for sexy stuff, but find you and your work delightful. Hope we never scold one another.
I knew that too was no mistake. Miss your tiny little avatar face and your voice and words. I thought the spamming was awesome.
Jaime : I knew you'd know it wasn't a typo. I alwasy miss you when you are gone. Kinda cool. Hope you are thriving out there.
hey i do NOT LIKE the implications of that
comparison of yr life to a bad movie...i hope it is a
lifetime movie...where the gal triumphs in the end after
defeating the forces making life suck...because...reading
this post reminds me what a remarkable writer u are,
and how much i have missed yer face ...

you hit it gal : " Life is Absurd. OS is therefore also absurd. OS is fun sometimes..." that is MY deeply held cherished theological-literary belief as well............
fernsy, write us a story?

HeysweetJames: Yes, a lifetime movie. OMG, so lifetime movie where the protagonist has such an outalandish story to tell . I can't help but hope it ends as well as those things do. I fear I've seen too many of those and count too much on that just right ending.
Thank you James for your fine comment. Absurdism is what it's about. I'm almost sure of it. Will write you a story soon, buddy.
Algis: Thank you for gracing this post. xo
