I've got Hotel California running thru my head. And now I'm worried were showing our ages with the song choices. Ya both are old. 1976 and 1977. I see it more as Miley Cyrus "Wrecking Ball. " Just kidding. I wasn't born yet!

I remember sitting in the lunchroom at my first job and everyone was talking about where they were when Kennedy was shot. I belted out that I hadn't been born yet. If looks could kill! I was teased about that for years. And then they all got old and retired and someone new asked where were you when the Pope was shot. It made me laugh.

I'm not stalking her, calling the police in her hometown, demanding she appear and entertain me, or anything of the sort. Amateur. And this is where I lost it ...

You mean we can't ask where a pea is anymore?? And here I was wondering where Skybar/pea has been. Haven't seen her in awhile.
Ashley hasn't posted on FB in awhile or she Unfriended me.

The Tier 1 thing ... lol. I have vague recollections of old threads discussing tiers or something similar - ring a bell for anyone else? This reminds me of that old saying, "If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it." So... if you have to ask who is Tier 1, you probably aren't one. It's okay. I'm not either. There's a lot more of us than there are of them. Lol.

I for one miss Ashley, and anytime I literally LOL while reading a thread, I consider myself highly entertained. Thank you all you hand/face slapping drunken peas!

I was pretty late to the old board, but when I first read "Tier One Pea" there, I could immediately deduce what/who was being referenced. If I had been new HERE and read it, it would have been a head-scratcher. And that's a good thing. Very good.

This makes me really sad. Do you really think this place is so bad that you have to "escape"? Because I know a lot of us actually enjoy this place and come here for advice, support, humor, debate... And we actually enjoy it. I agree that people were a little harsh with Ashley, but she got just as much support and kind words. She's a big girl and can handle it. You may have meant your post as a joke. But it just came across as bitter and a condescending slap to those of us that are still here in the "vortex." I absolutely do not mean it as a joke. I am dead serious and it is not a hand slap. It is a slap across the face. Make no mistake about it. For all who come for what ever reason, you feel you get something from it; fine. Great even. For those who STOP coming, what right does anyone have to call them back? We are like a bunch of alcoholics who can't stand it if a "old buddy" (we don't even know their name) stops showing up. WE are going to go find him and haul him back to the bar to drink because we can't bear to think that just maybe we too should spend a little more time doing something else. When Ashley stopped posting it was very apparent this was NOT a good place for her. She was very stressed over lack of time with her family and lack of time for her crafting, yet she spent the precious few free hours she had here where she was not deriving any benefit to her. Calling her back does not do her any benefit but steal her time from her family and her life. It just makes a bunch of people who didn't even pay attention to her real name feel good. You benefit from it. She doesn't. If you really care about someone on this board, get to know them off the board. Then when they disappear you can get in touch with them. But if you don't care enough to know while they are active don't get sobby and pretend to care after they leave. Let them leave in peace. "Call her back?" Um...last I checked, no one is required to read, respond or post here...whether they're summoned by the evil vortex or not. Perhaps you need to let yourself out of the vortex if it makes you this hostile.

I think what is so bizarre about voltagains post and face slap is she reacted to the op like it was a foreign question that had never been asked before..when in fact people ask about missing peas quite often and don't get the face slap. Very bizarre.

I guess I was asked about at the right time then. Good grief. (It was sometime last summer. And if I didn't have a few peas tell me about it, I probably wouldn't have came back when I did.)

I would definitely NOT be asking about Yubon if she went missing. And now I am putting on my flame retardant suit. Wait...do we still have those on this board?

Post by penny on Mar 21, 2016 21:33:56 GMT
Is this a bad time to wonder how penny is? I was thinking I haven't seen any posts from her in a while. ETA I'm an idiot cos she posted a few days ago Aww - that's sweet, thank you I was so exhausted at the start of the year that even when I was awake I wasn't really able to focus/follow discussions and noises would tire me... Wasn't an escape attempt - my brain wouldn't let me plug in to things... A bunch of you know I have severe depression and looking back I think that was what was going on... The holidays were done, facing a new year, wondering about the future, thinking about the past type thing... In the middle of February I got chest pain (felt like there was an expanding balloon inside my ribs)... Couple trips to the ER, ruled out anything cardiac, respiratory, or gallbladder related... Two weeks later I was having emerg surgery to have my gallbladder removed...lol Those three days in hospital were amazing... Completely got rid of the pain of course, but they had me on Dilaudid and I was so unbelievably high! My brain couldn't have gotten worked up or worried about anything...lol I had two great nights of sleep, three days of a brain that wasn't digging itself into a hole, and I've felt clear headed since... Good lesson for me about how stepping away and not thinking about 'problems' can actually help... That turned out longer than planned - sorry if I've hijacked the thread... It was kind of you to ask about me - put a smile on my face So many great people here that I can't imagine 'escaping' you all

So I took a quick look at her blog.
Oh my! If she is doing piecing on her way to work and way home , she needs to be writing a book! Tips and trucks of hand quilting on public transport!

aw jeez. Did you guys scare voltagain off? I like her! Even if she got a little cranky here. Also, I wanted to add, it's not necessarily true that a member wouldn't know she (or he) had been tagged unless she checked back here. I get email notifications whenever someone tags me or quotes me. It's a pain in the ass sometimes, but that way I never miss it when people are talking to or about me (unless I ignore my email for days and then mass delete everything, which has been known to happen ... but I try, anyway). You can make adjustments to notifications on your member page.

She hasn't been posting since 18th which isn't like her.

You can make adjustments to notifications on your member page. I like Volt too, but after what she said about Ashley, I'm not going to try to suck her back in if she needs to step away. Just because I'm getting positive things from here. Because I'm balancing here/life/ work well doesn't mean others are. Hey I'm willing to let the dishes sit a bit after work if I want to check on my peas. That might not work for others. Plus my kids are 17 and up and ought to be independant. Not true for every one. Your brave Lucy very brave

I want her to know she's missed.
I understand she may not see being tagged and beetlejuiced the same way that I do (as a positive), but all the same. I want her to know she's missed.
