I have no idea what’s going on in the Pit, other than what I’ve read in this thread. I just showed up and decided to stay for tea, if there’s any left. Otherwise I brought some Moroccan Mint, just in case anyone’s interested. Any Girl Scout cookies left? ---

Well I don’t normally drink tea, but I think I’ll have a cup. Ohhh I’ve always wanted to say this; Tea, Earl Grey, hot. ---

Nothing like a nice cup of Earl Grey to start/end the day. ---

This is a jolly civilised thread indeed. I’ve no room for scones or crumpets, having just devoured half a packet of salted peanuts. I’m sure I could manage a cool beverage, however. ---

I tend to read pit threads, but rarely participate. I don’t post that often anywhere in fact, and have been here for a while. The dope still seems as good to me as it was, I’m sure it will continue. ---

I can’t have an accident today so these knickers will remain untwisted. I have on big ole white granny panties. They’re clean, but they’re still big ole white granny panties. I bought them after my surgery to be comfortable and I only wear them when I’ve put off doing laundry and I’m forced to wear something. I’m not a commando kind of girl. ---

It’s not even that I don’t see they have a point, Quasi. I see their point. It means different things to them and to me, is all. I don’t mind not being able to insult other posters. To them it feels like censorship. To me it’s not a big deal at all - real life is rather like that, I guess. That doesn’t make them bad, not even in my mind - we just value different things. Anyway, where is that carrot cake? Pass some over here! I brought the French bread, too! ---

Back with Limes, **tonic** , lemons, and Lillet Vesper, anyone? On Topic, I found the thread in question and it seems to be much ado about nothing for me. I hang out in MPSIMS, IMHO and the Cafe and rarely go to the BBQ. No skin of my nose I can’t call someone a [redacted]. ---

OK Let’s see if I can figure out the multi quoting in a reply thing: Whoo! Hoo! Got it! > [@3acresandatruck](#): > > I’m late for tea, it seems. But we had a beautiful day here today, sunny and mild and in the mid-60’s. It’s only for a day or so, but I’ve got the windows open and I’m having a couple of glasses of cheap wine. **Inner Stickler** , I like when you’re sitting and looking and sitting and looking…and suddenly, you wake up. **3acres** that is one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes quotes. > [@Suse](#): > > Thin Mints with peanut butter??? I don’t care if you’re male or female, _will you marry me?_ Well we’ll have to ask the wife. She will either be more or less happy about that depending on if YOU’RE male or female 🙂 > [@Karyn](#): > > I’m glad that I read the whole thread before posting because I almost said the exact same thing when I read it. I’m going to have to go out and find a girl scout somewhere that can sell me thin mints. So far, not having access to coworkers kids’ cookies is the only drawback I’ve found to retirement. > > I want carrot cake too. OK Here’s another treat, just for me you know. Take your ordinary ice cream sandwich. Unwrap it and let the ice cream soften just a little. The spread a thin layer of peanut butter on it….. sigh…. Yeah I try not to do that very often. I’ve seen ice cream cakes made out of ice cream bars. I’ve occasionally wondered what this would be like. Put a layer of ice cream bars in a pan. Whip cream cheese, honey, and peanut butter until creamy. Spread over Ice cream bars. Add another layer of ice cream bars, and another layer of cream cheese mix. Top with whipped cream. Serve with Irish coffee. So… I haven’t checked this morning. Is the war still on? ---

I’ve having a nice cup of cranberry herbal tea myself. I never go to the Pit so I really don’t care what rules they have in there. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that people whose rage issues inhibit their posting in other forums would be enraged when told to dial it down a bit. ---

Err…I’ve just heard about this, and I’m still in my pyjamas. Is there a dress code? And I’m afraid all I could pick up in the rush is some marmite and a leg of lamb. Is that OK, or should I go to the shops and get something else?
