Muenkel 0 #101 December 17, 2004 Jeffrey, I've corresponded with you in pm's before. I honestly think you've gotten a raw deal here. I actually appreciate your blunt and creative way of expressing yourself. Online, I can understand people making 'somewhat' of a judgement of a person's persona. However, until you meet that person, I think passing judgement is assinine. There is so much more to a human being than what you see in the written word on the internet. The sad thing is, I think a lot of people are trying to fit in with who they perceive as the "in crowd". Which IMO is pathetic because almost all here are well into adulthood. For those who have passed judgement on Jeffrey, have you ever pm'd him? Have you ever really had a conversation with him? I have and guess what, he's a cool person. We don't agree on religion, but agree on politics. But there is a lot more to life than those two topics. Just my .02. Cheers, Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #103 December 17, 2004 I know a boatload of dz.com people. Almost all of them are exactly like their online persona. Very few exceptions. A lot of people on here have an "in crowd" that I refer to as "friends". Friendships made by meeting people, doing things, and sharing experiences. If someone doesn't know a lot of dz.commers, it is their move. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #104 December 17, 2004 QuoteThe sad thing is, I think a lot of people are trying to fit in with who they perceive as the "in crowd". Which IMO is pathetic because almost all here are well into adulthood. Very well said. In any arena, on-line or otherwise, when one changes themselves to fit a particular parameter and be "accepted" into the in-crowd, ignoring who they are so as to have "friends," (and on-line friends, at that, who are just as likely to not be the way they appear either....), it's a sad way to live. I wish people'd stop playing games...but if wishes were horses, beggars would ride and all that. Sure, Peej gets loud and raucous. So what? So does most everyone here. I've not ever found Peej to be anything other than real; he has an opinion, he states it, and it's clear. Whether I agree or not isn't the end all nor be all for his opinion to exist. And frankly, if all one desires is a synchophantic following, then one has a long row to hoe.

msxtreme 0 #107 December 20, 2004 And the Drama I prefer these days is... SUNSETS. Sunset BOAT Rides ... Sunset SKYDIVE loads with AMAZING people ... Sunset out-on-the-deck-with TALENTED friends and CHOSEN family members ... Sunset EXPRESSIONS of LIFE, LIBERTY and PURSUIT of HAPPINESS ... But then again, that's just one woman's thoughts.

diablopilot 2 #109 December 20, 2004 QuoteSo, should I go with the 21, or the 27? I'm thinking that a move to an 88 might be too drastic from my 150 though. Ya think a 98 might be a better choice, or should I stick with the 88, knowing I'll just have to work my way into that size? The 27. But go with the 68 and get it in red. (The staining, you know?)
