Nope, I'm housing illegal firearms in my closet. Next to my pile of cocaine and hookers. Of course it's effing registered.
And yes, Mav, I agree, it's why I don't name names. I don't know them so it could just be me misinterpreting what they are sharing here. Not like that happens here or anything. It's the same as people judging me here.
I will take it further. I have two HS friends on FB who both have recently posted about going to the shooting range. I judge them. Why would you want a hobby like that??
Clearly I have no room to talk since my hobby is sitting on my arse watching tv on my kindle.
But then, it seems most of my FB friends are gun-loving hicks. Right after the shooting at Sandy Hook, many of them went and bought guns and/or went to the shooting range. Blech. I find guns to be scary in all honesty. I don't think I could ever own a gun myself. The possibility of something going terribly wrong with it is too scary to me.
This scares me more than most anything I'm seen posted on this board. Really.
Ha.
No really. You have spent years putting a great deal of time and effort on this board, and many others before GBCN MM, into demonstrating and trying to convince us that you are unstable. So either you *are* the unstable person you show in your posts, or you are the unstable person getting their jollies by creating your unstable online persona. Unstable people that own guns scare me. They should scare everyone. People that care for you should be scared for for you. I'll joke about many things, this isn't one of them.

Wait, what?
I was on TIP before MM and left TIP because all the good people left. Also, I really like the "educated, all business, money advice" of MM. So where this "many other boards" comes from is odd.
Additionally, I don't think I put a lot of "time and effort....into demonstrating that... unstable." The idea that you think that I post things on purpose with the idea that I'm trying to prove myself as unstable is hilarious. And really strange. I feel like I spend more "time and effort" trying to prove I'm stable. Although, I've long since realized that proving my stability to internet strangers is pointless.
People who care for me, know me IRL and know that I'm not some unstable, asshat who is going to shoot up a theater or elementary school. But rather someone who will speak her mind, stand up for herself and give you the shirt off her back.
I'll fully admit that I can be a vindictive person. But I'd probably pull something similar to that SO poster who sent information to someone's boss. I'd rather get someone fired, have sex with their H, or straight up punch them in the face before shooting someone.
I take gun control very seriously also.
But you think what you want about me. After all this time, clearly I don't think that highly of GBCN opinions of me.

and this is the honest to goodness reason I did not participate in the SS exchange. I know gypsy said we could make special requests, but I did not want to take the chance of someone forgetting or slipping up.

I don't hold grudges. I don't like you. But you're not worth enough energy to devote into being a bitch to you. Nor is anyone on this board. I can't take personally insults from people who have never met me.
But trust, if we were IRL enemies than well, I'm sure your imagination is pretty spot on.
ETA - Even if I did get you in the SS exchange you would have gotten a great gift. I may not like you, but at the end of the day I don't know you personally. That's not reason enough to give you a crappy gift or store the information for when I'm Chicago or something.
Here is mine. Mines @ related but I have no clue why the girls on my BMB can work when they are 35 weeks pregnant. They are all complaining about it and asking if people are still working and how they do it. I would imagine the majority of people are still working.
Also, if you can't do your job correctly don't complain that your employer is trying to get you to go on maternity leave early. If you are a server and cant be on your feet all day maybe you shouldn't be working that type of job. Your employer shouldn't have to allow you to take 5 million breaks because you are tired.
I hate posting these because I always sound insensitive. I just think people should think about these things before getting pregnant.
So every woman should have an office job/other cushy job that allows you to sit/take breaks in case you happen to get pregnant some day? Or should all women quit their current job in favor of said cushy job just while they are pregnant?
I work with preschoolers. I'm either on my feet or the floor 90% of the day. The other 10% I'm in little kid chairs. Some day when I hopefully get pregnant I'll more than likely be uncomfortable most of the day. I will not be quitting my job when/if I hopefully get pregnant.
I agree with the complaining part though. The other stuff just grated on my nerves. We can't all work jobs that are easy on a pregnant body.
Bliss, I don't know what velvet was saying, but I'm going to say that what makes me nervous about you having a gun is not a fear that you'd shoot someone else, but rather that we've seen you write about how awful and hopeless you've been before. I'm hopeful that's all hyperbole, but it always worries me when people who have been truly depressed have the tools to hurt themselves. Obv. you could hurt yourself in lots of ways, but guns are so much easier, more hurtful, and more final than the other alternatives.
I don't understand white people and their competition/bragging/constant commentary about their sunburns. It's like every time 1 of my roommates is out in the sun, we get a daily commentary about their sun burn and showing it off. I find it bizarre lol. Like doesn't this happen every summer that it doesn't need to be talked about constantly?
My skin actually peeled from being in the sun and being on doxy for malaria prophylaxis over my vacation, but I didn't feel the need to show it to everyone daily and act so shocked.
I also find it annoying when people come up to me after they've been in the sun and put their arm next to mine and say "I'm almost as dark as you!" I've gotten that my whole life. Again, I find it bizarre.
Maybe someone can help me understand
I talk about sunburns when I get them because they are really, really painful to me. Even someone just casually touching my back would cause intense pain if I had a sun burn there.

Are they guys? I think it's a (white) guy thing. I never hear women bragging about sunburns, they are too worried about skin damage and wrinkles.

I get sunburned really badly but I don't make a point of showing it to people.
But one of my biggest pet peeves is when people say/do things to call attention to themselves (which is where I stand on the Bliss thing, as long as it's being discussed), so unless people actually ask me about something in my life I generally don't talk about it anyway.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone brag about sunburn? Tan, yes, but sunburn, no. Sunburns are awful. I complain when I get them, and get really mad at myself.
