"Thritto" I didn't look that up. Is that a word? Can I use it either way? I feel a "thritto" coming on......
To wander off on a tangent (as usual), I am so glad to see you "still" here Boudicca! So many wonderful and interesting people come into this little world, make a mark, and seemingly disappear in time. I was absent for so long that one of my returning fears was that I would be missing some of the reasons I came/come here. Of course, there exist any number of persons here that fit this fear, so many that I can not possibly innumerate all of you, so please take this as a blanket sentiment!
You know, sometimes I get bored in The White House, so I make postings here and there under other names. Some say I'm controversial and some love me for just being that. I can't tell you my full name. DJT
All I can say is that I have ALWAYS received help from other members on here, quickly and with great knowledge They point me in the right direction so I can research for my self, and have never been anything but kind and gracious, The combined knowledge and expertise on this board is just mind blowing and I for one am extremely grateful that these members take time out of their busy days to answer my questions, Of course sometimes I am a wee bit disappointed when what I thought was a priceless treasure turns out to be a pretty common piece. but they have been 100 percent right, so rock on board, you all are wonderful.
Queensberry is the only way to do it, I agree. We are not savages ( only sport I like is boxing,) I watched some MMA the other day and could only handle a minute. IT'S TERRIBLE imo so Queensbury for me allll the way xxx
Well said Say it slowly! I know I had a bumpy start here. I didn't know really what to expect or what was expected of me in terms of providing information. With my post first post, I interpreted some of the responses as harsh and maybe a bit curt. It took a bit for me to latch on to the personality of the site. I've learned that some folks are really great at communication and some are wanting. I think some of us automatically hear a negative with some folks responses, and certainly tone of voice is missing with this format. A little kindness and patients can go a long way with newbies as they are just maybe trying to figure it all out. Keep it fun!
Our Boudicca deserved a thritto. Please feel free to use it any way you want, but remember, you heard it first on Antiquers. She couldn't leave if she wanted to. We are too attached to her, so the weight of the throng of people would keep her here.
Either way, do what you do! I have missed this place so much that I would consider one of your "educational" rants a welcome home gift.................... Though I really have no right to an opinion on this one as I am not up to date on the subject of this thread, so in essence I am just thrill-seeking............bad Mansons, bad boy! My apologies if this seems to be inciting a riot - not my intention............. yet!
Wow. Why all the head games Golgatha? Isn't life hard enough? We're all in the same boat so let's be helpful to each other, or go home. Yes, sometimes people's written comments may be misinterpreted as terse or rude, or just plain mis-spoken, but there are very few here who do it deliberately. They don't last long.
