scorpette thanks for the congrats on the droid but ski soooooo, so sorry to hear your news about yours
Is anyone else on the wait?
I de-linked myself from the FB site before getting the keys, but that's ok, for the moment will let that settle and will think of a way of trying to make it safe access.
I did think that we could arrange for whoever held the control to arrange to be online at the same time as a person wanting to join. Then, the person wanting to join can describe their current profile photo with some specific detail on it, make a join request and it can be cross referenced... you see? So if some random troll tried to get in we would know it wasn't valid because they wouldn't be able to get a photo with that detail onto their profile... plus if two people tried it at the same time we'd know one was trolling.
Is THAT too complicated? I think it's a way to be safe, though, as I absolutely agree with you Casper that we need to protect our RL identities.
This also means that we need to make sure that "friends of new BESH" are hidden and so on.
OK, moving on.
Ski and Casper could you please video your illicit not-sure-whether-man-or-woman sex for our viewing pleasure information. I think it could be a good training session for us all. Obviously we are going wrong somewhere - maybe this is the answer.
I did start to wonder at some un-Godly hour this morning whether one needed to use contraception if doing bumsex given that we now understand sperm's ability to walk through walls. Obviously only if one didn't want to concieve. I also wondered whether this is why gay men don't get pregnant - they have those extra-thick condoms after all, don't they. Maybe we should teach them where they are going wrong.
Of course then I woke up to reality and the real world and stuff. But I then started to think that if people can really drop the butter dish by mistake, then maybe that's the answer. Go back on the pill and you'll immediately be up-diffed. sigh
FA I am not at all proud of saying something "so spiteful". I was laughing at the fact that you'd thought it offensive enough to get it removed given the other topics in this thread. As it happens, I am a calm, friendly and nice person but I was up in arms at the fact that you felt that it was acceptable to saunter into a group of ladies who are finding the fact that they are struggling to conceive extremely hard, and make a comment about "falling pregnant". That was insensitive and ignorant in the extreme. For you to then claim it was "your little joke" showed a lack of judgement even worse than your original comment. My "little joke" was clearly about as funny as one of GB's speeches and was intended to make a point, not be funny or spiteful, bitchy or bullying. I am sorry that you didn't realise that; it seemed obvious enough to me.
I also accept your olive branch. Further, I apologise to the group for reacting originally and plan now to not react or comment again. Kindly leave us in peace and find a group where you will be with people whose company you enjoy.
