What it seems like, to me, is an example of an attention whore. SOmeone who really doesn’t get enough attention, and maybe enough still isn’t enough and needs validation. Guess what! After I post this, I am going to brush my teeth! I am going to use Colgate baking soda toothpaste, and my brish is red and white! I know you guys wanted to know and I am just so proud. 😃 ---

Let me – ah, here it is. _For general discussion: from frivolous chatter to deep thoughts; from harmless diversions to life-changing announcements._ We are all posting on a public message board. We are all expecting/hoping that someone will read those posts. Ergo, we are all “attention whores,” by gum, you’re right! ---

Yes, but my posting of my dental information (TMI!) shouldn’t be of interest to someone who actually thinks it happens all the time (as well it should).What kind of nut thinks people care about their dental habits, or sexual, or bowel habits? Some people do; but I wouldn’t brag about it were I them. Hold on, I’ve got a piece of corn stuck in my teeth; the lower incisor, or the right hand side… ---

I was explaining why I felt that my post was appropriate (having precedence, at least) but ultimately, it’s not my judgement call to make. ---

Why not give us a paper cut and rub a little lemon juice in it? Oh now I see. The sex threads are buggin’ you because you’re not getting laid. Now it makes some sense. I guess. ---

I \*am \* getting laid, regularly, and I hate the “OMG I had sex threads!” This is the SDMB, people, and I rather thought we were more mature than crowing about it. It’s juvenile. I am not going to inform you about my sex life. (But what brought me into the thread was not the sex part, but when it was closed. Closed threads get me in there almost every time.) ---

I just want to share that I had an amazing tryst with my man last night. I trumpeted him melodiously at first but when he began to obstacle my passage I tootled him vigorously. It was wonderful. 😉 ---

So, the fact that you’re just realizing this now means that you previously responded to this thread without having read and/or comprehended the OP? Do you do that often?
