So many of the people on this forum seem obsessed with booze
I wasn't going to respond to your offensive post earlier this morning because I thought most would just ignore or dismiss it. Yet the people of this forum welcomed you regardless of your insults, that should tell you what type of place this is. We are a group of people, with a common interest/St John, that have become friends. If your only contribution to this forum is going to be to antagonize and make derogatory observations maybe you should go to one of the other forums and take Tortolla with you!
Man this is nuts! 
This post, in the same week that another lurker, made the statement that this forum is the best forum, because it's like a family. Wow, we sure blew that one out of the water
I have to admit, I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!
Pete, You're the best!
I too, have a few years, until I'm in the 40's, two to be exact, but who's counting.
To all the "family", I know we all have a problem, but drinking isn't it. St. John is!
Love you all!

Melanie and others,
This was sent to me just after I left the Forum and your thread. Maybe it was a sign, premonition or whatever but worth the read.
Why Parents Drink
A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not
shown up for work and had not phoned in sick one day. Having an
urgent problem with one of the main computers, he dialed the
employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's
whisper.
"Hello."
"Is your daddy home?" he asked.
"Yes," whispered the small voice.
May I talk with him?"
The child whispered, "No."
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is
your Mommy there?"
"Yes."
"May I talk with her?"
Again the small voice whispered, "No."
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the
boss asked, "Is anybody else there?"
"Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman."
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the
boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?"
No, he's busy", whispered the child.
"Busy doing what?"
"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman," came the whispered
answer.
Growing more worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter
through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, "What is that
noise?"
"A helicopter" answered the little whispering voice.
"What is going on there?" demanded the boss, now truly
apprehensive.
Again, whispering, the child answered, "The search team just
landed the helicopter."
Alarmed, concerned, and a little frustrated the boss asked, "What
are they searching for?"
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle:
"ME."

Those of you bemoaning the "old days" and the "old timers," need look no farther than how juvenile this board has become. Drinking, nekkidness, drunk broke friends tour -- it's crass now. There isn't witty banter any longer.
And you say you're friendly, yet you refer to your chosen ones as members of "your family," implying that the rest of us aren't. This is a forum of insiders, making their plans with each other. Yes, the old days are long gone.

Wow, Lucy... Where did that come from? I've been around here for only 3 months and the group here have made me feel very much a part of the family. I think some of the other new members will echo that. Sure, we don't have the personal relationship that some of the longer-term members have, but that's just the way it is. If I join a new group socially in person I can be welcomed into the group and feel like a part of the group, but still not have the history. That will develop in time.Lucy wrote:Those of you bemoaning the "old days" and the "old timers," need look no farther than how juvenile this board has become.

Just like any forum, there are going to be long-time members who have those relationships. In some forums I have read, it is impossible to become one of that group. Here it seems to me that it is not seniority, but willingness to participate. If you lurk (and I'm not saying that you do), then you will never be part of the "family" because no one will get to know you.

Time to start working on convincing the wife that we have to go back soon!

Everyone has their own opinion as to what they consider crass and witty. Thanks for sharing yours Lucy. I respect that you have set your limits, but please respect that mine may be set a bit different than yours and that doesn't make me a degenerate or bad person, just a person with a different opinion as to whats crass and witty. Everyone certainly has the right and ability to skip over anything that crosses their boundries.
I at first thought that there were cliques on the forum, but as I lurked and read many of the posts I saw that I was wrong. Some people post and reply more than others do and as happens in real life, the more dialog people have, the more chance they have to become friends. Maybe because their sense of crass and witty were similar...or maybe they just found they had something in common. And what's wrong with making plans with each other. Seems to me that may mean that the forum works as the social tool it was meant to be.

Lucy Lucy Lucy,
Oh my girl what is up with you. I took some time to read your other posts. I found the one you wrote to Jorge of particular interest. These folks are just having fun and enjoying thier own piece of what they share together. It just happens to be STJ and each other. Where oh where is the harm in that. After all, it kind of fun, entertaining and very informative, from time to time.... Peace!
