I have to point out that Brandi did start this thread for venting....and that's what Julie did. I agree that the chit chat has gotten out of hand...specifically in the trampoline thread, the pictures of us thread and the things that annoy you about non-cfers thread. There are others, but those are the worst. I'm not against the chat, I think it's made a lot of people come here more often and make new friends, and that is a great thing. But if you want to have a conversation, start a new thread, go to the chat room, or come here. I am hoping that this new board will allow the chat to continue and for more friendships to form, but not at the expense of people who just want to get some information.
Brandi- I think the reason you get on some people's nerves on here is b/c you respond a lot of times just with a "lol" or "hehe"or "i love you." Maybe if you could just keep that to a minimum, at least on the Adult board, that would make it a little easier for you. Also, please believe everyone when we say you are pretty. It seems like you are just begging for attention when every other post you make is about how you think you are ugly. Many people have said you are pretty and cute b/c you ARE. I promise! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> So just try your best to believe them for now, and know that the self-confidence you are lacking will probably start to come to you in the next few years.
I'm not trying to be offensive or upset anyone. I really like everyone on this site (including you Brandi!) and I think it's wonderful that friendships are growing and there is clearly so much support. But it will benefit the entire board if everyone tries to be considerate of everyone else.
So, in conclusion, hooray for the new off topic board and may the chit chat live long and prosper on the appropriate board!!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
