and nice of you to show us what your son does when he's not posting here. Too bad he can't do anything about those flies,though.
Commenting on talent and the resultant art, pear-o? Is that your claim? Then I suppose that your references to "son" and "sonny" are a part of your interpretation of art?

Ouch. krs, I owe you an apology. I didn't mean those things at all as hits on you personally, but as part of the banter having to do with you as junqueson. There's plenty of precedent for uncomplimentary comments about junqueson (who, let's face it, lacks something in the filial piety department), but looking at that quote, I can see how you could take it as a slam. I didn't mean it that way, do not think you have flies on you or that junquemama was representing that (we all know those are wood chips), and am sorry it appeared to read like a hit. It was a joke, but jokes can sometimes come off wrong, and this one did. I did not mean it the way it sounded, and I apologize for it.
I stand by my commendation of junquemama's art (and for coming up with the best use for an ice machine I've heard of to date), but I am willing to ascribe what I read as outright meanness on your part to her and to me as the product of hurt feelings that I caused. So I take that back too--the part about "ugly."
I mean what I am saying here, whether you believe it or not. I hope you feel better, regardless. Please don't continue to link junquemama's art and my expressed feelings about it with bad stuff between you and me. It's not right, and this I ask on her behalf, as an artist. Please.

Without any friendly overture implied, pear-o, you should know that my own mother is long dead, and that junquemama is a friend of mine of long standing. Any reference to filial relations between us derive from a wonderful set of theatrical scenes that she and I played out on an ebay board long before either of us ever posted here.
As to that friendship, she is one of perhaps three people online whom I trust implicitly and without qualification, and more than one person has discovered that I'll toss out caution in her defense.
One day I may pursue her with an avid and romantic intent even though she covers her face at night in a horrid avocado goo.

Without friendliness inferred, krs, I would like to say that I had no idea of these facts, with respect to your own mother or the duration of your relationship with junquemama. I know I've always enjoyed watching the two of you together, but didn't know where it came from or how long it had been going on. I can also better understand why you would react so strongly to suspicions about my intentions, and appreciate your allowing the insight.
Should you choose to exercise your future options with respect to romance, you might consider adding sour cream and tortilla chips to the encounter.

I have always taken inspiration from the relationship that you and junquemom have. I remember how I felt the first time I was referred to as nobsmom. It warmed my heart. The best thing that these boards can bring is the feeling that we are valued as people and not just some faceless id.
How ARE you doing, dear?

I am getting real tired of this!!!!Why is it that gossip elsewhere is placing suspicion on exchanges here? From what I can tell it is only gossip and not to be believed.Lots of accusations but no proof of anything that I can see. This is how I see it ...if women here were in terrible "danger" someone who "knows" would email us and tell us why. Wouldn't they? JMHO
krs,pareau, I know how much you hate this but I am doing it anyway! {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}to you both for being who you are. I enjoy both of you,ornery as you can sometimes be.
Junquemama,I like your cartoons,they made me laugh.Thanks for showing them.I also have been enjoying the exchanges between you and krs for a long time.
And now, against my better judgement..I hit "post reply"

Thanks, rawbunzel. That felt like being handed a tall glass of sweet iced tea on a long, hot day. Much appreciated.

Hi Nobsmom!!,
Raw buns and Shelly, this isn't/wasn't about any other board, or about you. I said what I did because of the repeated references to me in posts to Junkmom, and for no other reason, in this thread.
I've got to be quick now, as Junkmom is sure to wake up soon, and I want her to find my comment that given her widely known culinary skills I know that she and I could make beautiful gastrointestinal music together, especially with the added impetus of diaphramic pressures resulting from our shared laughter over this pure nonsense.

ShellyHerr, Not to worry! I know your comment is not directed at me. I also am pretty darn certain that you are just you and no one else.
Pareau, I have a full pitcher here if you need another tall glass of iced tea. Anytime.
Thanks Barry,it isn't always easy to say what we think here is it? Sometimes I just can't take it anymore and have to speak up!

Oops! krs, posting at the same time! I didn't
take what you said as being about me...or shelly. But with what is going on elsewhere it did help to fuel those flames.That is why I said something. Also not directed at you specifically.

A new epidemic of vague allegations and accusations lately. Too bad that they can't be quarantined within their points of origin.
