    Abdomen, n.: The temple of the god Stomach, in whose worship, with sacrificial rights, all true men engage. From women this ancient faith commands but a stammering assent. They sometimes minister at the altar in a half-hearted and ineffective way, but true reverence for the one deity that men really adore they know not. If woman had a free hand in the world's marketing the race would become graminivorous.

      I've been here. In this sub-forum or "Need Help? Ask here". Sometimes I stumble into the midst of a troll fight or a sockpuppet show and more times than not I back out quietly.

    hmmm...now thaat you mentioned it.  yeah life in forums has  kind of sucked lately.  hardly anyone i know even is ever on and if they are,  i always miss them at the wrong times or wrong forums.  lol.  in fact, half the time, hardly nobody ever seems to be in forums.  its like a ghost town half the damn time.  lol.  oh well.  what can you do?  lol.

        im sorry faybe.  i wasn't referring to you when i said that.  sorry. i didn't mean it like that.  of course, there's still good friends like you, ann, mega1, pinky and lynne that I still run into so often which keeps forums from becoming tragically boring. lol.  anyway, im sorry, i didn't offend you did i?

    No I didn't take it that way. Pinky said night so I figured I'd see if you were still around and let you know. I have to get to bed too. Responsibilitles you know. On a lighter note I made 99cents today.

    Yeah you too. it's the difference in time for all of us I mean Australia, New Zealand, Texas Florida, Greece. No wonder we miss each other at times. There's a few strangers who come on to post ads and never write too, I think they kind of confuse things. I go to welcome them and they haven't written anything. I've even seen a couple that have copied their whole hub into a forum page.
    Maybe they need a guide. Night Stevennix.

    A forum is what you make of it, if you don't put in the effort to liven it up, why should anyone else?

      they should entertain me!  I don't want to have to DO anything!  THEY are supposed to say charming, interesting things and then listen to me while I go on, and on, and on, and on, and . . . everybody HAS to agree with me!

    Since it is a public forum, and people stumble on it and see all the words that have sexual context to them...decide to stay for awhile just for the forum.  I agree, it would be nice if it were a private forum...but...not my decision.

      The one I'm referring to is still public, just has much more moderation and member approval. Although, most members are approved. It's really to just discard spammers.
