Welcome, welcome Jacqui - and as for age, you would be surprised at how aged some of our regular posters are. Intelligence is ageless, n'est ce pas?
-
My first post. I feel very brave.
But what a beauty! Thanks, Jacqui.

It's always with some trepidation that one cliques on "Post Reply" for the first time. Eh what?

I had no idea what I was cliquing into.

She was a little older than in the film when she taught us, but to my teenage eyes she was very elderly.
First, hullo Jacqui! I know exactly what you mean -- the headmistress of the primary school I attended died recently (and before I get slapped around my the Women's XV, that's what Miss Barry called herself) and I saw a photo of her a few years before I started. God, infantile ageism is embarrasing when you're old enough to be on the receiving end. Made all the worse by the fact that she wore her late fifties a damn sight better than I will. :)

Some of us are in our 50's. Some of us a decade older than that. Wecome Jacqui!

Welcome Jacqui. It has taken me a while to 'clique' on PAS, and I still wonder at times whether I hit the right notes. In fact at times I'm down right discordant, and unfortunately I don't always realise until after the 15 minute bell. That's the problem with being a bit off the cuff, you tend to wear your heart on your sleeve.
[Badoom tish]The little altercation above has made me reflect again on what it's all about, and in Russell's post back a page, and in discussions on the CFS thread, empathy does seem to encompass a lot of what is wonderful about the place, at least for me. It can also expose some fairly selfish tendencies, which I know I have been guilty of in the past, and am trying to do better on, both on here, and in the wider world.
No, it's not a clique, but it is a community, and achieving a sense of belonging requires a bit of effort. Well, it sure has for me. But it's worth it.
Gas Panic
Hmm, shall I tell the story about...
Another time maybe. -
The problem is, that I'm almost always doing something that someone disapproves of. There's a lot of uptight people out there, you know?
And sometimes knowing people disapprove is fun. I think the thing that disappointed me most about marriage was the realisation that my sex life would almost certainly not now elicit disapproval from anyone.

My ignorance is showing: what is CFS? Copyright perhaps?

Chronic fatigue syndrome. One of Emma's latest.

Somebody's not trying hard enough.

Actually, I interrogated my ex-Baptist husband quite thoroughly about sexual practices that would be sure to incur someone's wrath. It turned out that most of the on-the-table stuff wasn't going to do it. At least for the fundamentalist Christians he knew.

Next time try the on the table stuff while they're still eating breakfast and see if that helps get their wrath on.

Once we actually own a table again, I will take this under consideration.

So you broke the last one?
-
Immoral people don't own tables? So where does that put me on a scale of righteousness?
-
So you broke the last one?
Of course not - if we'd broken it we'd have had to get rid of the pieces and we're currently carless. It just so happens that the only pieces of furniture I own are a dresser and an office chair. (Any of you in Chch want a dresser or an office chair?)

A box can be a table. A box full of broken furniture e.g office chair, can be a sturdy table. Not saying anything about size here. It shouldn't matter. ;)

Of course not
We really have to work on this lascivious storytelling..

I do love me some crowdsourced smut!
Also, I love that a post about your mum has taken this direction.
I hear she loves it too... -

Pish-posh. The nice thing about PAS is that 99% of the time the most annoying people are the necessary irritant around which forms a lustrous pearl of new perspectives, usefully provocative argument and downright entertaining filth. :)

And, I used to wonder why so many kids didn't want to eat at the table.Come to think of it(no pun intended), we never ate at the table when I was a kid.Hmm? Actually we always ate at the table. Hmm?
