Anil (loykalina) | 303 comments I am angry with myself for not being able to find an appropriate complaining phrase to quote Roger's reply to ask whether he means "affect someone very strongly in a way that is difficult to forget" with under the skin or not.

There's an 'edit' button right by the reply button in your posts that only you can see.

The set up should look like this:
reply | edit | delete | flag *


message 2207: by Danni (new)

Danni | 248 comments @Rick, yes you are definitely a troublemaker of the highest order and I regret to say that I left you off my (far from exhaustive list) of troublemakers. I am also aggrieved to say that since you have been in this group I have mistaken your identity for somebody else called Rick and only just realised that you aren't who I thought you were!

@Boyd, I am discombobulated to admit that you made some very good points.

I am extremely annoyed to have spent time thinking about the whole parenting thing and to have pretty much thought up an entire essay about my thoughts on the whole issue of what kids should/shouldn't be allowed to see.

So anyway, I do have a 14 year old and I've been thinking about whether or not I would be happy for him to read the posts in this group, and snort! who am I kidding? He has an extremely smutty mind (I have no idea where he gets it from) and if I want to kid myself that he has never seen anything worse than the stuff on here then I'd be a total idiot. Any time he goes on Urban Dictionary he finds much dirtier stuff than we've ever come up with.

When they built my son's school some bright spark designer decided to print huge lettering across the walls - so yeah, bonus marks for anyone who can guess where the kids all stand to get their photos taken in front of the word 'ANALYSE.' They're not stupid.

Now, I am the first to admit that I'm not exactly a strict parent - my two main rules for my son are 'be nice' and 'don't ever try heroin,' and will also admit that being a lax parent I don't check everything he looks at online (I also believe that kids have the right to some privacy) - my belief is that it's impossible to physically restrict access to online content (especially with mobiles, friends' houses etc.) so I don't, BUT I do bring up my kids to know what is an appropriate way to behave, and to know the difference between 'right' and 'wrong.' I hope that that supercedes monitoring all their actions. Anyway, it seems to work - they're both happy and well-behaved.

Now, I do have an 11 year old too, and would I be happy for her to see what's in this group? Nope, but in all reality she would have no interest in reading it anyway, no way of accessing it alone, and even if she did read what was written, she would have no idea what any of it meant - as I'm typing this we are watching Big Bang Theory and Sheldon has just asked the guys 'Any of you fellas got wood for my sheep?' - it totally went over her head. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is kids pick up on things and seek out information (e.g. about sex) when they're ready to do so, and censoring their every move is IMO pretty pointless.

Anyway, essay done, and now for an onion head emoticon cos I only just found out how to do them.

I don't think anyone (certainly not I) is importuning that we grossly misbehave on this thread or act uncivilized (what's more civilized than sex for fun). My gripe was about the (unfortunately probably true) offense American media seem to take to the most common word for excrement, and the (somewhat less reasonable, I feel) critique that leaving out the middle letters of certain other words does not offer enough "protection", and third, that, considering all the other truly adult talk on this thread, these two words, common as swearwords to any 6-year old nowadays, should somehow represent a danger to this thread viz. the authorities that be, who are now, one must assume, no longer of the same calibre as before.

As such, I feel once again, as several times in the past couple of months, severely infringed upon in terms of my comfort level and sense of friendly, semi-private companionship that I have been enjoying here, whether falsely or not. This is crimping not only my style but also my (shallow part of, but nevertheless) soul.

Like someone at a party suddenly shushing everyone because the neighbours have gone to bed (or woken up, whichever).

It is pretty. It enhances her eyes.


message 2214: by Goesta (new)

Goesta Old fuddy-duddy here grumpily opines that the dye job looks unfinished, though he reluctantly admits he likes the colour.


message 2215: by Lori S. (new)

Lori S. (fuzzipueo) | 2809 comments I am saddened to see the downturn of joy on this thread and wonder if there is a way to bring the level of fun back up to where it was before. I would think that with all of the wordsmiths who live in the Complaint Department they would be able to not only find a way to circumvent the rules without actually breaking them and use them to their advantage.

For Rick: Smiley

For Goesta and his magical story: Smiley

@Lucas: Smiley for throwing this thread out of whack (for a good reason to be sure but still ...).

For the thread as a whole: Smiley <= Can we get back to this? I think so, it'll just take some creative thinking.

And this is for everyone because all I could do was laugh when I saw it:
Smiley


message 2216: by Goesta (new)

Goesta I am appalled at the lack of photographic evidence for this news item:

JustJen "Miss Conduct" (just_jen) I am grumpy that I don't have anything to complain about at the moment, but have to say Lori has found the best, most fittingest smileys ever. Love them all, but the village people take the cake. :D

Not so grumpy, just want to say she's quite pretty and I like the dye job!


message 2219: by Fangtasia (new)

Fangtasia @Tj, I am in a paroxysm of rage to have to say she looks gorgeous. I wonder what your hubby would say if he arrived home to find his daughter sporting neon green hair, like I did, a few days after my daughter graduated HS.

@Lori, hate to say it but, I 2nd JustJen's post. The YMCA smilies are killing me. Too precious.

I am aggrieved to provide a bit of comic relief: I fell yesterday, from a sitting position about 4 feet off the ground, and ended up on my knees on the pavement. Suffice it to say even my thoughts got shaken. Want to know what my hubby said when I told him? "I'm gonna have to attach a bungee cord to your waist, see if that'll help."


message 2220: by Tj (new)

Tj (bluesmokey) | 632 comments So irritated that my dang "illness" doesn't even allow me to ride in the back sieat of hubby's truck for long without huge consequences! Ugh, today is one achy day. I'm taking the correct meds but it will be DAYS maybe weeks (I really hope not) before I get back to what I was.


message 2221: by Goesta (new)

Goesta I am seriously annoyed that the effectiveness of this regrettably brilliant gathering of one-and-a-half-plus-wits for the purposes of dispelling grumpiness by flagrantly exercising it is far greater than my own poor ability to remain chagrined about anything for long.

I am further addled that I was trying to find a "sexy smiley" in response to Lori's flock thereof, and found merely this, proving the utter inadequacy of the google search engine in understanding my needs (or maybe not?); in any case it is, I regrettably conclude, a youth-friendly image, since my safe search was on:

Macky (mactut)

I'm kvetched ( love that word whatever it means) to have missed loads of posts. So I'm adding my thoughts in pictures too..... What about a group hug...and I'm being terribly subversive by posting it on the main group thread....so there!!!!!


Ije the Devourer of Books | 14524 comments I am kvetched to have to agree with Macky that a group hug is a good idea especially if Goesta"s friend above will also be partaking thereof.


message 2224: by Goesta (new)

Goesta Regretfully I do not speak for his bellybutton, which is apparently famous and named Zac, but would certainly vote for involving it in the festivities.


message 2225: by Danni (new)

Danni | 248 comments TJ, I think her hair looks pretty damn fabulous.

I'm loving hating the group hug, and strenuously resisting the urge to use tongues.

OK, so now I'm going to share something with you all which is a source of much heartache for me. This is so much more than just a complaint, it is an absolutely miserable happening which I need to get off my chest/heart (whatever!)

Yesterday, I was doing what I usually spend my spare time doing and stalking my favourite ahem...film star, Kevin Warhol. This is usually a source of much joy for me, but my world pretty much fell apart when I stumbled across a horrific photo of said object of my desire receiving cooties (in the form of a kiss) from a...a...(I'm not even sure I can say it)...a...girl! I'm not sure I'm ever going to get over the betrayal.

The only solution to the pain of unrequited love is probably to just burn my laptop.

Gabbo Parra (lordgabux) | 559 comments I'm positively chafed that if their lovely daughter's hair color is all TJ' hubby has to complain about he's a blessed man, as Fangtasia genially countered there a lot of crazier things out there.

And I'm stonily irked that I cannot have eyebrows like Saudi hottie. Damn all the Conquistador whoopee that made me!

And I have to throw a blown out complain that nobody has commented on the first paragraphs of Pornandez biography (message 2236).

Anil wrote: I love how eloquently the author describes his feelings in the extract above. Mind you, I am into penetrative sex, especially anal sex. Yet, I would love to have guys who would mean more than sex and ejaculation to me. I know I am being whiny (I haven't been educated in UK for nothing for a year and a half), and I repeat the same thing over and over in regular intervals, but I can't help myself stopping whenever I read anything like the extract. *slaps himself to get out of this silly ostensibly-romantic moment* "

Thank God for Anil's Sex!

Bless you and your penetrative insight into anal sex Anil & thank your for your reference to ejaculation.

These people somehow have the idea they cannot mention sex or use clinical terms or creatively descriptive words for body cavities and discharges. This group has no rules against anything like that.

Why the frigging frell are you all posting sugar sweet sickening shited Smilies and Baby Zac Efron pix instead of the old charming risqué and more than somewhat suggestive posts?

I never said anything about having everything look like a 7 year olds birthday party.

All I did was post the rules which have been the same since day one and the only rule that applies is relation to the kiddie stuff: "There can be no use of profanity (especially those 4 letter words—you know which ones) and no photos that show naked men below the waist."

Any place anywhere on GR even in an a closed xxx adult group requires you follow the GR Terms of Service but that's not my concern; it's up to you to determine how to interpret that junk in every single group open or closed on Goodreads.

So stop walking on eggshells get back to normal or I'm leaving the group out of boredom.

Goesta, this is what Zac Efron looks like like now. Throw away the baby picture and feel free to play with his belly button, lips, nipples, buttcheekcrack, perineum, scrotum, swizzle stick or anything else and party on people!




JustJen "Miss Conduct" (just_jen) Amen to no more baby zach! I mean, I'm still grumbling that Goesta was unable to find the current hottie Zach. :(

Tj,

It's time your husband stepped into the 20th Century, he doesn't have to come as far as the 21st Century and realize women have dyed their hair for thousands of years but he need only think back to Miss Clairol circa 1960 to realize in this country women dye their hair as casually as they paint their toenails.

Instead of worrying about such silliness he should be worrying about you and your illness and never under any conditions allow you to ride in the back seat if he loves you like a husband should love and care for his wife.

Whether or not he is driving he should make it rule that this should never happen to you even by your own volition.

If he wants to be oh so moral about everything he should follow the universal golden rule which is the also the commandment that Christ said that along with loving God is all the law and prophets and that is to love thy neighbor as thyself also sometimes phrased as do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

If he would follow this biblical and universal secular moral truth he must take care that, whether he is present or not, no one with a heath problem who would be hurt be allowed to sit in the back seat—least of all you.

I pray you will soon recover from whatever damage was caused by allowing this to happen.


message 2238: by Kendra (new)

Kendra (book_lover_too) | 337 comments I would like to say thanks to Anil for that ice breaking post but since this is the complaint thread I can't so instead I will complain that I didn't post it first. However, since I have only ever tried it once (anal sex, not posting in this thread, I do that all the time) I don't feel like I would be speaking from a position of authority. I could speak of other things, but that would get me accused of spreading cooties, and since we are all really upset to find out that the lovely porn star Kevin Warhol was caught allowing those said cooties to spread to his person, I felt it would be best for morale not to think of girl cooties, only the now very hot Zac Efron.

Which, by the way, holy crap, where did THAT Zac come from? I hate that I will no longer be able to watch High School Musical without feeling like a cougar! But wait, I am not that much older than him, right?

Anil hasn't changed for the better because he has always been a sexy sweetheart here. I haven't changed because I haven't changed the rules since I wrote them two months and over 2,300 comments ago.


The only people who have changed are the fun loving, fun and loving members who used to joke freely and also take the time to comfort people with serious complaints (that also happens in a section of the Complaint Department where most members don't dare to tread which is at this link:
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

which oddly enough most recently contains some pretty sexy compassion and hugs for people who needed them.)

Rat spit! JustJen is correct in thinking it was Zac Efron who changed for the better.

Well how many times do you have to see the words "Dumb Jock" after my name before you realize it's true.


It wasn't really too hard finding that picture. I googled Zac Efron. So while Zac E Baby changed he wasn't exactly trying to hide that delicious fuzzy treasure trail leading the way down his abdomen to his manliness!


message 2240: by Kendra (new)

Kendra (book_lover_too) | 337 comments I wish to complain that TJ is obviously a cool mom because she let her daughter dye her hair (very cute by the way). I was not allowed to dye my hair until I was 18, which by that time I was so afraid of messing it up that I haven't ever dyed it. Only highlighted it once. Yay for cool moms!...I mean boo! for cool moms.


JustJen "Miss Conduct" (just_jen) Pretty sure he meant Zach changed for the better, but I could be wrong. :(

Oh JustJen my dear one so smart and wise and kind, I still am a dumb jock but at least somehow I got his name spelled correctly Zac (not Zach.) And I'm the one that makes all all the typos so getting it right is a miracle for me. :-)

message 2247: by [deleted user] (new)

I am complaining that even if I had a good night out with banko and only won one free card too banko next time, now I am in more pain and I know it take me a least two days more to go back to "normal" again. That is the problem when I want out just one day to have fun or take a day out to "party" :-(

Well I want to have fine dinner on my birthday in May and there is a anniversary for old classmates on May 11 in Odense that I want to go to, we will only be 13 students and 2-3 teachers from that time. I am just lucky they did not decide to make the party on my birthday May 5, because it seem to be the day everyone else want to make some kind of anniversary on that day(MB Association have also anniversary).

I hate that I have nightmares too, and my mood is down today too, like over 1 1/2 month now?!? Hate it, hate to be in pain, no sleep and tired all the time :-( I just want to be pain free and happy again.

I hope I do not get a stiff neck again, are feeling I am close to that and I do not want that, will try to only do the things that I need to do and stay still and not move around so much, maybe that will save me for more pain, I hope.

Everyday I seem to complain, but I want the complain to be that of the smaller kind, not this health Threatening, but about other things.

Sorry Lucas never meant to change the way to write and express my feelings/mood, just want to try one time with the emoticon.

Thank you Kendra for your sweet and kind words that means a lot to me, thank you for the support xxx <3

Helle my friend you can use all the emoticons and smilies you want any time. Everything you do is perfect. You are kind and you care about people and I'm so happy you are part of our group.

I was kidding about the emoticons and smilies :-) because I wanted people to have fun and be free to express themselves just like they always have. So it was just a fake complaint - not a real one. I was joking to try to liven up the party.

We need Aves to drop by and make us all laugh with one of his stories about his dates. Unfortunately he is busy studying for his exam.

I think is dreadful that you cannot go out and have fun playing banko (baccarat) without needing two days to get back to "normal." I hate that you have trouble sleeping and have nightmares and pain. I' have said a prayer and hope your father the dentist can make them give you the biological medicine you need.

I care a lot and send you best wishes now and always. With lots of hugs- Lucas


message 2249: by Goesta (new)

Goesta Well, glad miffed we got got all that sorted out, one less thing to complain about. Must kvetchingly point out that I had been searching for "sexy smiley" not "Zac Efron" when that popped up. Frankly annoyed that LL sussed to my razzing him with said puppy pic. Peeved at myself that I prefer said puppy trail to said 4-o'clock shadow. Will I never grow up. Already exhausted by the realization that any lasciviousness will require (which, admittedly, is no change from my habit) ejaculations (in the sense of verbiage) of more than three syllables duration, just to stay on the safe side. That represents an excremental inspanse in digital dexterity (in the sense of typing).

I'm sure we're still allowed to annoy our leader no end with dreadfully cuddly emoticons, it's in the rules, after all.
