    If all is to be believed from what people post - there is such great sadness and lack of morals in the world. People who do not value their own life and therefore cannot value another's life. Also, I have learned, people misrepreent themselves to make their story more believable and sympathetic. Isn't that just like life? Lol

    Dictionary definitions don't cut it for me, my boy.

    I am trying to find a useful grammar link but as usual, high traffic volume is stopping me. I guess I will have to pull out my American grammar book. Hmmm. Now where did I put it? I will get back to you on that one, my friend.

    Another thing I have learned is what George Bernard Shaw said so long ago: Youth is wasted on the young!

    Didn't forget at all. Not at all my friend... Is any other country's usage of grammar of any consequence to AMERICANS? :p

    Nope, bit like everything else really ;)

    Actually Benny boy, look at the top section of your dictionary definition.

    "LEARNT
    –verb (used with object)"

    Ruby,

    Can you read it? Then be thankful. Not that it has anything to do with it but I'm Brit too, and I swear if it wasn't for my spell checker you would think you were on a forum for puzzlers and quiz addicts. Lol

    No. I do believe your sentence structure negates that. Can you tell I am deperately looking for a debate today? :D arggg. Looking to bite the heads off dolls. Arggg.

    BR, my favorite forms of entertainment!

    Okay. I will shut up now. Apologies Ben. You know I love you. And, if you don't then your wife knows I love her and that should be enough.

    Ruby, I counter your negation with the classic WIBBLE defense.

    WHY is everyone in love with married people?!

    Sorry, just had to vent. Have a nice day. :)
  • Apr 1, 2007, 06:23 PM

    Everybody is in love with everybody else. Just human nature. Nice for you to vent here but have you learnt how to vent from people on this site? Have a nice day, sorry but the day is over. Lol

    Take care of yourself. New York, New York. I am surprised you do not have more attitude. Just kidding, just kidding.

    How to be diplomatic. To listen to Chuck. That allot of people don't know how good they have "it". What I don't understand is why people seem to post and then never check back?

    I'm a novice here and I'm just starting to feel some of the side effects. :) I feel like I've opened too many posts titled: "I'm in love with a married..."
    But, you are right... human nature.

    Thanks for letting me vent. But, what do you mean "have I learned to vent" from here? Is there an assigned place for venting?

    Lol. No, I'm very mild for a New Yorker. (A Piscean character)

    manimuth, JH was asking because of the title of this post, What have you LEARNT from this site.

    So, I guess you LEARNT that there are a lot of women who are in love with married men!




    P.S. Hi CurlyBen

    I have LEARNT that another member, of whom I have grown very fond, just LEARNT a new expression. She knows who she is. She knows the expression. I won't embarrass her.

    Let's just say it has something to do with my favorite ape creatures (see avitars) and, what some parents do to their children's bottoms when they have been naughty. They get

    spanked.

    heehee. I said I would post it here. Just didn't say when.

    Ruby,

    Oh Ruby, Best not to mention any names.

    Lets just say I will never admit to spanking.

    I will never tell. My little monkey lips are sealed tight.

    Actually, yes! I've learned to speak up, partly due to this site.

    I finally realized, through this site, that other people all over the world can ask inane questions too and kids are really interested in someone else doing their homework for them!

    You first learned that here? :D

    That's been going on since there was school. The internet just makes it easier for them to trick someone into doing it for them.

    Never answer any questions involving animals, people are just way too sensitive about them.

    NowWhat
    I have learned there are way to many teens having unprotected - drunk sex and now they think they are pregnant. And just don't know what to do.
    I learned the other day there is actually a technique on how to shave your privates! Who Knew!

    Yes, that is another one.

    A couple more to add to the list.

    When a kid is pregnant, if they do not know what is a miscarriage, they do not know how to explain what is happening to them. I assume they are not smart enough to have sex in the first place or to bring a child into the world.

    Matt,

    Do you really believe what you wrote - Life is not fair?

    Don't mind me, I'm into this Law Of Attration thingy and I'm a tiny bit worried that if you believe that and keep on enforcing it then... Life won't be fair for you.. ever.

    Be more positive, my friend.
