Pissed in someone's Cheerios

[BobbyLaker]

I always heard it as "peed in your Wheaties", a cereal which had the same medalist shills for their marketing.

"The breakfast of champions."

Medals... pah

Samuel Johnson's 1755 dictionary defined oats as "A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland appears to support the people."

And perhaps that's why Scotland has such fine men, and England such fine horses.

Must be true, b'coz my husband comes from a long line of Wallace, Stewart, & Sullivan clans... and most days, the way he can engineer a 'fix' for anything broken, you'd think he was a Mcgyver, born and bred! Secretariat should have such breeding... but then my husband is just a bit of a horse's ass at that. smh Men! Gotta love 'em.

I've always felt Captain Crunch fit in with masochism, remember what the roof of your mouth felt like after eating a bowl of that hard as fuck cereal? Then they took it up a notch with the crunch berries. But I always came back for more...yes, I did.

It's the other end you need to worry about!

That was quick. I know who she is. A very good and prolific writer. I respect her work, but made a good comment and gave her a high score on one of her stories, and it was promptly deleted, but she got the 5 anyway. I will not disclose her name on a public forum like this as it would be inappropriate and drag her into a discussion she doesn't need to be dragged into, as she sometimes hangs here.

The question is, do I try and message her on the Board here, or should I just let whatever is festering in her mind continue? I will continue reading her stories and rating her stories (I even think I have one of them saved as a favorite), but if I feel the need to comment, I will do it anonymously, though I hate doing that to an author.

I probably wouldn't read or comment on her stories henceforth.

Giving her a pass isn't being vindictive. It seems to be what she wants you to do, from how you have characterized this. Why would you want to continue to engage in any way?

Don't sweat it. Let it go and don't give it another thought.

I had almost the exact same thing happen to me two years ago. I left a very positive comment on an author's story. She deleted it. I was curious why, so I sent her a PM. She said she suspected I was part of a group from whom neither she nor her friends wanted any comments or contact. She was not hostile to me about it, just matter of fact. I was confused and explained I wasn't part of any group and never disparaged any writers or readers in comments or otherwise. She then told me it was because I was friendly with one specific author (with whom I am assuming she had a serious falling out).

I wasn't going to comment on this thread, but I can see you are bothered by this. I was too. I try to treat everyone with kindness and respect, whether it is in my virtual life or my real life, so it really bothered me that a writer whose work I respect did not want anything to do with me for reasons I initially could not fathom.

Now that I do understand, it's a good reminder that sometimes the way that people treat you has absolutely nothing to do with anything that you have done. Rather, it's entirely something that they are dealing with.

So if I were you (and I once was!), I would not let it bother you the way that I did. You likely did nothing at all, and I don't know that reaching out to her would give you much more information than you already have. Feel free to PM me if you have questions or would like to chat. Keep your chin up!

Why is that woman's pussy showing?

Why is that woman's pussy showing?

It's a fox...

 

[onehitwanda]

It's a fox...

If I squint hard enough I might believe you. It must be a humorous novelty item of some sort, because that's the weirdest goddamn sporran I've ever seen.

That's the Scottish for you!

A sporran with a fox head on is a thing still - there's suppliers who acquire the heads from roadkill.

The random white sheet behind? I suspect just to help hide a braw bulge...

I guess it's supposed to be horse hair. The idea of wearing roadkill, though...

You are harsh

Better than a fox that's died of anything else... One died in my garden a few years back. Lots of fleas and was remarkably difficult to get into a bin bag as rigor mortis had set in and their legs are longer than you think.

Horse hair would make more sense, but if it's meant to be, the artist is crap.

I have to be honest, all the foxes I see around here are so manky I wouldn't want to touch them with a pole. I'd probably just pay someone to come and deal with it while I just stuck my fingers in my ears singing la la la

Noted. I think Cheerios works better for an international audience, though. I'm a bit older but don't remember Post-Toasties - though when staying with the American side of my family, I rarely explored the pantry beyond the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and the Golden Grahams. You can get them in England now if you want to pay about 9 dollars a box...

Two of the brst cereals ever.

Time was of the essence, to stop a small child playing with it...
