In Reply to: Yep. Nice to know that trolls can even find this board. NM - Happy MT Robin
following me around, stalking me.
i told them it was creepy on the other board.
I just dont get it. I come here to be happy and converse with other MTs about fun/normal/curious stuff...
Reading this post was ridiculously stupid and made me roll my eyes and remind me that no matter how we argue in politics... im way above responding to something with such low class.
so sorry guys for bringing the crap over here. i try to leave it over there...

Keep politics to politics board.
//
Take it to the Politics board please.
Too many complaints of political discussions taking up the Gab board, so please take this discussion to the Politics board.
Thanks all
And you are right about the politics board sm
you can't say anything without someone jumping all over you on that board and some of the responses are silly and childish. Every time someone posts verifiable information, people on there respond with silly inuendos and comments.
To the Politics board, where it belongs.
i dont go on the politics board
for exactly the reason i get too angry
it's weird when you are mistaken OVER THE COMPUTER to be someone else...
but whoever that was i probably agreed.
so you are okay with the grape research but expect me to shell out money for everyone in need, whether they really are or not. SHOCKING!
an opinion is not a soapbox.
and i can use CAPITALS for a point. i know in the computer world that means "yelling" but mine is making a specific point.
silly to get your panties in a bunch over that
Shouldn't this really be on the Politics board? sm
you are labeling global warming science as rotten, and basically making remarks about Obama that pretty much should be noted on the politics board, not GAB.
Please use politics board for political topics. NM

Me too....talk about it regularly, esp. the politics board...lol nm

At least keep your venom to the Politics board, would ya? sheesh nm

Liberal & Conservative merged to one Politics board.
........
Political and candidate topics go on Politics board.
Thanks.
You need to read sticky warning at the top of Politics board.
"let people express his or her opinion and move on"
Use the Golden Rule, don't go over there if you get headache, stay on MT boards.
Heads up! The Gab board is for general discussion not to include MT, Religion, or Politics.
This was put into place when we very first set up the Gab board. We have a Christianity, Conservatives, and Liberals forum that you can post on. But, let me be clear. I do not condone trashing of anyone's religious preference and neither should you. I expect posts on any of these forums to be respectful (that does NOT mean we are censoring, there IS a difference). This is NOT open for debate. These are the rules. If you can't respect them, you don't need to post here.
It's all about politics (nm)
politics of
There is some evidence that Americans started taking the bible literally when we stranded here as pioneers. That is when the line by line scripture as truth came about. Unfortunately, I think that our American literalism has been taken advantage of by unscrupulous politicians of all sorts, including unscrupulous clergymen and women for their own personal monetary or sexual gains, etc.
I do not think every word of the Bible was supposed to be taken literally, even though I am a Christian.
oh you are SO wrong - it's ALL about politics....sm.
YOU might not see it as being *politics* - rather something religious (?) - but it's ALL based upon politics today.....Saying or not saying different religious greetings during holidays..........being allowed to or not - freedom of thought/speech/action
most definitely *politics* - get your head out of the sand please......
No MT, no politics, no religion. Anything else is ok.

No SS Increase! Not just politics sm
This is for everyone who has a parent/grandparent/aunt/uncle/etc. who has worked their USA hands and/or kiesta off all their lives. We paid off the big loans and we punish those older citizens who gave it their all, put their kids through college on their own dime and/or moreso to build this country! Booh, hiss!!!! I thought we made a good choice, but now I am rethinking me thoughts! This is personal, not politics!! Thmbs down, where do we write, anyone know or care to know???
I agree about the office politics...
and that is a definite plus about being at home. I like the fact that I don't HAVE to talk to anyone if I don't feel like it (unlike being in an office), but my schedule gives me the freedom to socialize with my friends and family when we want to get together and also be active in my church during the week.
No MT, politics or religious posts here. NM

Have any of you been reading the Politics forum?
I wonder if anyone has been getting any work done.
So you protest about politics being brought
proceed to participate in the very behavior you are objecting so stridently to. You are entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to share your opinion. I am not saying that you aren't. I just find it rather interesting that you choose to actively participate in the very behavior you're protesting so loudly against.
I really don't care to argue with you, just as I don't really care for the politics board. As far as tomorrow, for my kids it is historic event. Only one of them was old enough to remember Bush being sworn in the second time, and he was still to young for it to hold a great deal of significance. I would like to foster in my children a respect for the process of our government and why our founding fathers designed it the way they did. This is part of that process. It is not about race for my younger children, although my 8-yo still doesn't understand why a black person, or anyone else not Caucasian for that matter, had never been president. My 6-yo thought nothing of the fact that a white woman or a black woman or a black man or a Hispanic man could run for president. In fact, she was a Hillary supporter and then a McKinney supporter because, "boys are yucky."
For some people, tomorrow is a catharsis on many levels, for the past 8 years to the past 200+. If you can't see and appreciate the significance of the event, then I feel very sorry for you.
I hate office politics! sm
That is why I enjoy doing MT so much. It is just me, the doctor's voice and my computer. Of course, the occasional emails from supervisor. But the way this industry is going, I see myself doing something else. What that is I don't know yet, but I am beginning the search. I thought computers would be a good field to get in.
Could someone tell me if there is a Christianity board as well as a prayer board (sm)
or are they one in the same? I have some faith related questions, but don't want to post on the prayer board again if it is specifically for prayer requests. I do not see a Christianity board listed. Thanks so much.
Main board, gab board, company, etc, just like here,
x
Very likable and nice, as long as one stays away form politics
especially if one belongs to the other party, lol.....
naw - that was the old board that did that, aka the 'other' board!
why was it here and not on the Politics board anyway?
Am not talking politics here at all, talking
about how she views the southern culture which apparently she knows very little. I do not care about her politics- what I care about is by making a statement like that only shows a persons ignorance. My maid is working today, has lived in the gettos all her life in a big city and when I asked her about it she said something she has not seen in maybe 30 years. In her neighborhood there is all sort of crime that goes on (well, that is about everywhere) but if anyone would see it she would be 1. Like I say, could care less about Whoopie's political views other than the fact she got that wrong. Neil Boortz also was saying the same,;he said she was probably still holding the south in such a light because of her inability to go into a upper class restaurant here in town dressing in blue jeans. Being as she was born in NYC, we southerns still say da.n yankees! So true here.
Is that board still available?
Thought I had it in favorites, but takes me to the main board . . . I do not have board options to the left though. Anyway, the Gab board is to gab about anything not MT, so I'm sure she's fine here, but I had been trying to check out the WAHM board yesterday and couldn't get there, so just thought it funny you brought it up today.
a new board??
Oh, I love it. We can yak about anything here? I'' be back! 
RE: Gab board
Sorry about that. . .I'm new to this site. I'll take my questions out to the Company Board. I might get some additional advice there. 
I don't think many on this board ... sm
I posted on scrapbooking one time and didn't get any response. I love to scrapbook and I am about to finish up one that is a thank you gift for the family that we stayed with last year on vacation in Colorado.
I am limited in what I can spend on it so I have to depend on a paper cutter, scissors and I love corner punches. I think I have seen the machine that you are asking about but I really don't know anything about it.
The question I posted back quite a while ago is concerning scrapbook programs on the computer. Do you know anything about them? I think I would like to use one of those programs but I have not found anyone as of yet who is knowledgeable about them. I was trying to research that one day through Google and found this website. You might find the answer to your question on here: twopeasinabucket.com This is a scrapbooking website and I found it quite interesting although I didn't have a lot of time to spend looking for the answer to my question. Good luck!
About using this board -
Does anybody know why, especially in the replies, when I click on the subject sometimes I just get one letter or a mark, or there just isn't anything there? Am I doing something wrong?
I think there is only one Jan on the board,
so you can always skip her posts if you don't want to read them.
When somebody is hurting, it is only natural for a caring person to offer whatever they have that could help. Every Christian on earth was once a nonchristian, and somebody led them to Christ, perhaps by offering them help or hope in a time of need.
Nonchristians of all kinds are also free to offer whatever help or hope they have to offer.
I saw this on another board I was on
and it was said that Walter Reed will not pass out cards made out to "A Recovering American Soldier." So you might want to check before you do it.
Thanks, JMR, we need more like you on this board!
Thanks so much, will copy your info down. MERRY Christmas, and thanks for your positive and kind input!!!
what other old board?
.
What other board?

You don't pay for the other board....
the best thing about it is nobody is nasty towards each other, no name calling if you have a different opinion about something, not much whining and complaining about how horrible someone's job is, etc. A nice breath of fresh air over there. Been on the political board here lately? If you want to see nastiness, pettiness and childish behaviour, hop on over there for a bit.
Where is the other board?
I would like to communicate with some nice people.
Can you tell me where the other board is too?
Thank you.
How many on the board
are finding it hard to make their house payment, car payment or credit card payment?
No you do not need the board, but you do need
xx
this board
I would liken this board to a bus stop. Or talking to someone in line. Americans love to do that. Mindless chit chat, no politics, religion, or anything too personal. I hope you are not scarred, but virtually (pun intended) no one feels super anonymous here. You are okay, just remember you are at the bus stop and these are not your sisters....
This board isn't a job interview.
This is a place to kick back, relax, and vent. I don't see this as a place where people have to behave professionally, although it'd be nice if they behaved more politely.
There's a time and place, and what you see is appropriate for this place. I'd expect to see professionalism on the job search boards.
There are all kinds of ways to get work done. You're right that it's a privilege to be able to work from home. You do it in your manner, and others do it in theirs. As long as the output is professional quality and timely, the methods are as individual and as varied as the people.
That's my opinion and I'm stickin' to it!
Why is there so much assuming on this board
because once you assume you know what you are talking about, usually wrong as you are in this case. I took in my stepgrandchildren, 3 of them, 8, 13 and 15 and raised them for 3 years. Their mother on crack, their father in prison and they went around their real grandmother's home and she sold dope and illegal alcohol from her home. I went to their school, middle and grammer, endlessly. I saw things I never saw as I was growing up, so disrespectful to authority figures. The mother took son to crack house with her, kids lucky to eat 1 meal a day when not living with me. So instead of telling me I don't know, think I have probably lived it. I doubt all the kids getting the diagnosis of attention deficit really fit that category. Oh, tell me I don't know about that either, not so because a neighbor of mine used to get a check and had her son diagnosed just to get a check. Get your head out of the sand.
On another thread on this board....
someone made the comment about giving girls a false sense of security and not getting PAPs and physicals because they got the vaccine. That was something I hadn't thought about previously.
I was talking about this with a friend of mine and we got on the subject of DES that was given to prevent miscarriages and preterm labor in the 50s and 60s and the side effects that came from it. I googled DES and the one website has a copy of an old ad that states "recommended for routine prophylaxis in ALL pregnancies" with a picture of a smiling baby above the statement. We all know how that turned out!
States have made all kinds of vaccines mandatory for admittance to kindergarten, but there are ways around it, such a religious exemption. I have another friend whose kids have had NONE of their childhood immunizations. I'm not saying I agree with anything that drastic, but her kids are in school.
Anything BUT transcription on the Gab board, please. NM

anyone who has to come to a public board like this
Anyone who has to go on a public board/forum and brag on and boast about ANYTHING- ( about A MAN, no less *L*).....just makes most posters question the credibility of such posters. Anyone who is truly happy....has no need to type all this on a public forum....nor to hang out on one....
the hubby *put you on a pedestal* so now you can reach the keyboard....*lol* -
Now really, all the nasty, antagonistic posters, and in this particular thread, should get off their mommy's computers and go outside and play because from my view, it's a spectacularly gorgeous day outside
*laughs*
prayer board
Do you have a line right up above your post that says "Mental Health Board - Autoimmune Board - Prayer Request" ? For some reason I can only see this when I'm on the Gab Board.
Yes "Gab Board" is on the right but
I still don't see what you see. I feel like an id!ot. I have seen the prayer board before and have even visited it but it is not here now.
