Hugs, Flame!
Well..I WILL be bring both my purse and my charge card..from what I've seen there's lots of good stuff!
AND I plan to test out that IGNOR button if I see that knd of sad behavior.
Paws has been saving for just this occasion. --goes looking for something that will look good with my red flips!--

I wasn't there but sorry you had to deal with that. :bighug:
A week ago or so I was at another *cough* for..cough...um; and saw something posted that just made my blood boil - (which isn't often) Thanks to two someones else here I was able to "vent to" and calmed me down so I didn't post a reply.
Perhaps I'll check Ignore button with some spare made just for that purpose.... -makes note to check later -

Thanks for the hug, Fun.
Sadly, people are easily bought. Money talks...and in return, devotion and loyalty is given...and free thought is abandoned.
I heard about and read that post, Fun. Disgusting and childish...from an 'adult', no less. I'm glad you didn't come to me to help you calm down. I was flaming (no pun intended...believe me) and sick to my stomach over it. And did the forum staff step in to stop it?...no comment. I don't get it... :uhuh2: Feel bad for the poor kids.
Why do I still read there??? It's BECAUSE I care about the kids. You'd think that would be obvious in all my old posts 'over there'. How thick and blind can people be? I guess it's summed up in my signature here.

Yep, wasn't sure who saw that post and who didn't. I too, was upset for the kids with that post.
But, boy, did I type a fired-up lecture. Biggest hugs to those who talked me out of it for now. :bighug:
PrincessWendyBird:
How could you Flame? Make a joke and try to have some fun with the new space age? :uhuh: :lolg: I have seen this boasting you speak of in action and it is really disgusting. I am at this place now where it makes me simply sad for this person. Sad that someone is trying to fill up their life by buying affection and trying to fill a void they feel by trying so hard to "prove" their status to those around them. Our virtual world is really an extension of our lives and so there will always be people who are trying to have more and keep up with the Joneses - so to speak. We see it in the real world and we see it in our virtual playgrounds.
King and I have been through a lot in this life so far, as I know many of us have. There are stories I am sure everyone on these boards could tell and perhaps that is why we are all here together. The one thing God has shown us through it all, is that the things of this world will never bring us true happiness. Lots of material things, even the praise of men will leave us feeling empty. One of my favorite songs ever is by the group "Big Tent Revival", called "Two Sets of Joneses"...

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being blessed with wealth in this world. What a great way to be able to use what God has given you to bless so many others. Flame, you and the rest of our NoBS family are blessed with something worth more gold and VIP memberships than life could ever bring. You have a God, family, and friends who love you deeply. That, my friend, is the best "rare" you can have.
KingQuackATac:
Want me to pass some virtual gas near this person's avatar? I remember the last time I did this it left him "speechless" :rofl1:
funfly:
Princess, your words in your post above show us wisdom. While I said previously about the other for.cough.um had post that upset me so much- that part is true, I was very upset and shaken by it. But, as you said above here, I too felt sad for the poster; I still do. Life is strange, we can be upset and/or angry by the words/actions of the same person we feel sadness for.
And:
