As long as you don't know it is ripped, it is not ripped.

This thread used to be a place to hang out, talk about nothing, and pick on each other. None of it was taken too seriously. I am not the only one to notice that the tone has changed in the last few weeks. Sure, there is some fun and funny stuff, but the amount of that is decreasing relative to the number of mean-spirited posts I have seen. We used to police it ourselves. That hasn't happened much lately. It has been quite a while since I have had to make a call out post in here about this topic. I probably should have done it some time ago, but did not. I was hoping someone else would step up and do it. Alas... My point is (especially for the newer posters in here) that this thread is supposed to be mostly frivolous fun as well as a place to vent (along with things like FT's soap, how our families are doing, kids successes, health concerns, etc). The other stuff should be taken elsewhere. If it continues as it is, I'm afraid one of the mods may make this thread go poof. Nobody here really wants that, do they?

All I saying is please reign it in a bit. There are plenty of places on the forum to troll and be nasty without it being brought in here.

After my last post...

Greetings from the suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee.

I got in about 90 minutes ago. The drive wasn't too bad overall. Traffic was worse getting through Chattanooga than it was getting through Atlanta.

No Polar Pop this morning as the person in the store had it locked for a restroom break.

Fortunately I brought a couple extra cans of Mountain Dew. I had to make do with that. I did stop at the Buc'ees north of Atlanta for gas and lunch: a chopped brisket sandwich and 2 hot apple pies.

At this exit, there are a few food choices (Arby's, McDonald's, Waffle House, Subway and Hardee's), so I will not starve.

Amen-
If I didn't expect some good natured ball busting I wouldn't post about losing my job and looking for a new one.

I did indeed go to Arby's. I did not have a Hope Solo.

I did get a French Dip. Haven't had one in a couple of years. The sandwich was much smaller than I remember. Shrinkflation at its finest.

I will be quite honest this thread hasn’t been fun loving for quite some time. I never really got into the good natured ribbing but I never had a problem with it and I think most members in this thread knew that about me. I spoke my point after having been told I was ghetto life Steve being shown that my town was nothing but a waste and was also told not to bring sports discussion in this thread. I answered all 3 posts accordingly. For that I get asked what’s bothering me and told it was only a joke and no response on the other one. I am as fun loving as the next guy but sometimes you just have to answer back. Lately as far as this thread goes I really couldn’t care if the moderators squashed it as I think it has run its course. Toodles Folks.

I'm kind of here, too. Putting some of the peanut gallery on Ignore has helped, but certain storylines and narratives have gotten a bit old.

Tells us how bad an area is, someone agrees and makes a comparison, cries about it.

Nobody else whines about Baltimore or Mass or Vermont or Pennsylvania or Chicago.

Well, maybe Chicago, but that’s in the football forum.
