A distinguished-looking gray-haired lady hesitantly entered the psychiatrist's office.

"I'm here at the insistence of my family," she told him.  "They're concerned because I like waffles."

~~Official Mod duty. As a reminder since I had to do some clean up. Please follow the thread rules by the thread creator.  These rules are in place for a reason and to help keep this thread around.~~

 

On 7/24/2017 at 6:43 AM, SAT said:

Tell us your gripes, fears, hopes. (And we'll quickly put you down.)

All are welcome -- chew the fat her, pass the time.

 

A brief history of this thread: it started off as a place for VJers to rant, vent, talk. It has evolved into an everyday friendly conversation.

 

THE RULES of the thread, from the undersigned.

 

1. We like each other here. So don't be a jerk..
2. No Facebook links.
3. This thread is not for debates, not for fighting.

4.. This is a conversation. Keep it light-hearted.
5.. If you see antagonists, just put them on ignore.
6. Many. If you think that your stinkiness don't stink, please stay out.
7. Not everyone on the planet is going to agree with you, so don't push issues.
8. Please don't push your political and religious beliefs here.
9. If you don't like the people here, please don't post here. VJ is full of other threads.

10. Please don't post anything that'll link anything to your identity. We've had problems in the ancestral threads.

11. Have a sense of humor, don't be such a stiff. Remember? humor?

 

Don't take anything personally, half of the stuff said here is just jive (In the case of T-Bone, it's 100% jive).

 

From me, the OP.

This thread is politically incorrect. Come in come in, rant away. Let us tell you how to suffer. Let us make fun of you..

 

Me.

I try not to talk politics or religion. We all have different beliefs and I'm sure it would lead to unnecessary fighting. 

The current events section is an example of what happens when you mix many ideologies + stress + craziness in the world. 

 

If I was one of the offenders, I didn't realize it and It certainly wasn't my intention, sorry!

excited about tattooing again today after a month hiatus. I'm doing some vintage black and grey flowers in a few hours
