Well, you've run it up the flagpole, so let's see who salutes.

I'll pencil-in time to work on that but will have to think outside the box to surpass Ty's baseline effort.

Proposed rule on FB cliche story competition: no posting one-liners on this crap. If you can't come up with something at least as long as what Ty posted, don't post because it's not funny, it's just annoying.

Go hang out in your vomitorium. We'll throw a rock through your palladian window when it's over.

You can post one line, but only if you repeat what someone before you posted and add your one line to it. That's how that other one was drafted.


It was a dark and stormy night....

Hey! Why don't you set up a board? This could be the most fun anyone's had since they took over the Sports Board or International Board or whatever back on infirm and made it into a bar where the cool kids hung out!

Perhaps I can translate for you...

What I was saying was "This whole thing strikes me as being lame and seems like the kind of thing that will only get worse. So if you all could just let me know when it's over, I'd appreciate it."

Of course, I was doing so in the spirit of the original post.

But it was an added bonus that it annoyed you.

If I can be perfectly candid, I think you're dropping the ball, here. I mean, honestly, it's like, as easy as falling off a log.

You've become quite the curmuffin, haven't you?

Perhaps I can translate for YOU -- I was agreeing with you.

The thing about this entire thread that amuses me is that I actually decided this morning to start throwing annoying little phrases into most of my posts just to watch paigow mock me for them. I know some people would avoid a paigow-mocking like the plague, but I'm sorta warped I guess.

I started with "go the way of the dodo" (10:16 a.m. CST), followed by "wave the [____] banner" (11:11 a.m. CST), followed by "hiding [your light] under a bushel" (1:15 p.m. CST), and I was planning to continue on until she caught on that I was mocking her for mocking me, but, alas, the board has turned the joke back on me by beating these inanities to death. Now if I continue I appear to be bandwagoning instead of engaging in my carefully contrived plan.

Foiled!

paigow, "you may have won this battle, but I will win the war!"

For those keeping track, she only mocked the "way of the dodo" one, but I'm sure she would have caught a few more before realizing the joke.

(back to the drawing board.)

So, how do people feel about this? I'm assuming that people don't say it as often as her, but do other people do this? What is your view of how much is too much?

While I feel like telling a loved one that you love them is a healthy expression of one's feelings, saying it all the time removes the power of the sentiment and the feeling behind it. Does anyone else feel this way? It's like when the secretary says it now, it's an after thought.

I also feel this way about compliments, but probably a little more to the extreme. I rarely compliment people. But when I do, that person definitely knows I mean it.

I bet you've been on pins and needles waiting for me to reply! Sorry; I was away.

I think the key is to talk about how each of you feels about it and, if you each need different things to feel loved, come to a compromise.

It will not surprise you at all to hear that I need to hear it often and I say it often. If you have the misfortune to get involved with someone who is sentimental like me, you may have to say it more often than feels natural to you or she won't really feel like you love her and she may have to say it much less often than feels natural to her or you'll think it is just rote and doesn't mean much. You can tell someone that from you a compliment is rare but when you give one it is really a huge deal, but, if the person is "wired" to need more frequent affirmation, knowing that intellectually isn't enough to feel it emotionally.

Of course one could always decide that the other person just has to accept you as you are but if you each did that, neither of you would get what you need emotionally. And that observation comes from the voice of experience. "Hmmm, I know he loves me but he almost never says it. I'll just say it all the more to him so he can see how good it feels to hear it all the time!" Fast forward to frustrated Fugee and smothered SO.
