I didn't even know this place existed.

[Hoof Hearted]

How silly am I?

[theHandpuppet]

1. Welcome!

You're not silly -- I only started coming here about a week ago. Good to see you amongst those who will not be assimilated!

:hi:

[Hoof Hearted]

3. You wanna know what's really funny? I almost made a post requesting a supporters forum to Skinner!

Dear God, how embarrassing THAT would have been!

600 replies all reading basically: You idiot!

and me :blush:

[judaspriestess]

2. Hey!!

I stumbled upon them when John Edwards was still in. Its a little sanctuary for us.

[rodeodance]

4. welcome to hillary world--

[Hoof Hearted]

5. So I can actually breathe here? Let my blood pressure go back down?

Is it safe?

[xmas74]

6. You're quite fine.

This is just about the only forum I read on DU now. All the others-even the Lounge-tend to make my blood boil.

[calico1]

7. You are safe here.

:hug:

[BlackVelvet04]

8. About as silly as I am because I just got a pm that told me it was

here. LOL Gheesh, where have I been?

Well, welcome to US!

[xmas74]

9. And we've been in the trenches together.

I see your comments all the time.

Welcome to a breath of fresh air.

[BlackVelvet04]

11. Thank you....

I apologize for any comments that were out of order. I'm just so friggin' angry I get carried away.

I see your comments to but I think you're nicer than I am.

If any of you guys ever think I need slapping down please let me know.

[xmas74]

12. I'm nice?

According to a few posters "over there" I am a racist bitch who needs to be "smacked down".

Aren't you happy you've found a place where we'll accept you, compared to "over there"?

[BlackVelvet04]

14. Well, I'm just a

mean old bitch, so we're in good company. ;-)

[xmas74]

15. I like this kind of company!

I had to put yet another one on ignore the other day. He informed me that I had no idea what I was talking about and that of course the military supported O. I stated that I live in a military town and he lost my county. When he found out it is Air Force he (of course) stated that only the "less than intelligent" are stationed there.

I informed him that some of the best pilots are stationed here (since it's the home of the B2 "Stealth" Bomber). I ignored a few more comments until I read comments of his correcting spelling and grammar of other posters. That is when I put him on ignore.

I didn't ignore him because of his differing view. I ignored him for behaving like a mannerless ahole.

[BlackVelvet04]

16. Amazing....

I have probably 10 people on ignore. One of which is the one who apologized and took a sabbatical today.

[xmas74]

17. I bet we have the same one!

Is the person in question possibly on the "petite" side?

[BlackVelvet04]

19. yep.....

and shall we say lit?

[xmas74]

22. That would work.

Fiesty gets too close to describing the poster.

[Qanisqineq]

28. I just have to add

I am married to a soldier, I live overseas with him, and if I do hear soldiers talking politics when I am on base it is ALWAYS positive about Hillary. Doesn't matter the sex or the color of the soldier, it is overwhelmingly about Hillary being more prepared and more capable of getting things done.

As far as republicans go, I don't think they care to talk about their candidates. I never hear people talking about republicans!

[xmas74]

32. I hear the same things.

I always hear the positives about her. My brother served will Bill was in office and he's quite positive about Bill-something some posters have said can't be possible.

[rodeodance]

29. someone did that to me real pricky about it! i wanted to smack h/h!!

[xmas74]

33. It could have been

the same person. I have him on ignore now.

[rodeodance]

30. hey-i did not know you did not know. welcome. its been lonely here for the

most part till recently.

need to get some zzzzzzzzz now
later.

[jillan]

10. Glad to see this group growing!

:grouphug:

[Justpat]

13. Hello, Hoof Hearted.

I discovered this a few days ago. I felt like crying when I did.

It is a welcome relief from the freerepublic wannabes over there.

[xmas74]

18. I just wanted to tell you

that I love your name. I see an "Old Broad" as someone who has seen so many things, experienced so much more than most and isn't afraid to share her opinions.

It's what I aspire to be someday.

[BlackVelvet04]

20. I've been told that I'm the

Olympia Dukakis character from Steel Magnolias.....I'm not sure that's a compliment but at least it wasn't the Shirley MacLaine character.

Remember......Age and treachery trump youth and energy. ;-)

I used to be so worried about aging but it's rather fun to be 54 and feel more free to express myself.

[xmas74]

24. Clairee was such a kick

and had some good lines. Of course, if I'd been compared to Ouiser I wouldn't be annoyed with that either. That's the mouthiest yet most loving woman in the entire play. The idea of growing tomatoes because it was expected but she didn't have to eat them-that was funny.

[BlackVelvet04]

27. Yeah, she was a hoot......n/t

[maddiejoan]

34. heh

I've been compared to the Mercedes Ruehl character in "Married To The Mob"

[Justpat]

35. thanks.

And you have me pegged pretty well.

Glad to meet you. :hi:

[xmas74]

36. Glad to meet you too!

I do so want to be an old broad someday but I know I have time to wait and learn.

[Hoof Hearted]

21. It is a welcome relief! Nice to see you!

[BlackVelvet04]

23. And you.....

there are advantages to aging. The alternative sucks for one thing. I think we need a special avatar for those of us over 30. ;-)

[Hoof Hearted]

25. Been there, done that!?

[BlackVelvet04]

26. LOL good one. n/t

[NastyRiffraff]

31. Welcome to the asylum, Hoof Hearted!

I'm a mean old broad too, see?
