This & That Thursday
I have an itch to do another blogstream movie. What should we do this one on? My warped ideas:
1) Baby pictures - We have to guess who is who again.
2) Tatoos - Again guessing who is who.
3) Just Feet - No I don't have a foot fetish, but we can do barefeet, shoes or dress them up funny !!! lol The possibilities are endless as far as creativity, silliness and photography goes....this one is my vote!
We have a blogger that is flying the nest off to college...please visit her and say good bye and give words of encouragment to our scholar! Recommended by Colo: http://tzone4u2.blogstream.com/
New blog page - http://blogchurch.blogstream.com/.....please check it out when you have a chance. Don't take this wrong but I have met alot of Christians here on blogstream and before I did I thought they were all going to be too serious. But let me tell you, my new Christian friends crack me up!!!
Friday - We still need an easy place to play poker tomorrow night. Please send me links! I can't play really fast and we need someplace that uses fake money. I would like a big table so as many of us can play as possible.
Saturday - Over heard in NY !!! I love it...
Sunday - Our Biggie T interviewing a mystery blogger for the Blogger Enquirer.
Blogging Rules Re-Cap
1) Lucy - If you post something...do not delete it. It is cowardly and manipulative to do so, unless it hurts someone.
2) Lucy - No more blogstream romances. Not one turned out well.
3) Lucy - If you don't like someone's blog...move along cowboy. No one is holding a gun to your head to stay and read.
4) Lucy - No fighting ... no biting.
5) Lucy - If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
6) Lucy - Remember this is not real life, it is a fantasy world.
7) Lucy - Don't take blogstream so seriously...it's an illusion. People only show what they want others to see. No one here is 100% truthfull. We all omit facts about ourselves. Don't you think there are criminals among us? Child molesters? Preditors? No one is as they seem so don't be so darned surprised when you find out.
8) Lucy - Being a popular blogger means NOTHING. I am all smoke and mirrors. There are so many old souls out there who are poets and artists who have much more talent than I do. This all means NOTHING in real life.
9) Lucy - If you say you are going to pray for someone .. do it. Take a minute and say a prayer.
10) Lucy - When you are in the blogstream chat room, identify yourself. Don't be incognito and don't hide.
11) Polar Bear - If you are going to use PM's to be nasty or disrespectful to someone, you should expect to get a response publically.
12) Cuban Husband - Being a rock star is good.
13) Uncle Scratch - If your going to write poetry or fiction on the Blogstream, grow thicker skin.. sometimes the feedback you recieve will not be positive.
14) Cuddle40 - Never be impulsive when considering to "Deactivate" your blog. It hurts others to think they are being locked out. Sometimes an old post is better than nothing at all.
15) Prank - If someone is not interested in having a dialog with you in PM or having a Chat session, it may truly be nothing personal. We all have lives and jobs and one may have to attend to that first. So a no thank you is just that, nothing more.
16) Lucy - This is more of a suggestion than a hard rule: I have finally figured out how to blog and eat at the same time. Cut food into tiny pieces and pick up with left hand. Use your right hand for scrolling, clicking and when commenting..........hit only emoticons!!! You won't spill a crumb!
17) Misty - Alright.....ummmmmmmmmm.........I think we should all get together once a week for a big blog stream orgy that way everyone will be sexually satisfied and no one will feel left out.
18) Colo - Do not assume you know what someone else is thinking.
19) Colo - Do not believe everything you read.
20) Colo - Always remember that the number of hits any blog receives has nothing to do with how much someone is loved.
21) Colo - No one has to tolerate or ignore abuse from any source.
22) Colo - It has always been important to me to support other bloggers.
23) Colo - Remember this is not realtime.....sometimes people are not responding to you because they are at work or they don't check their email every 20 minutes. If someone does not come to your blog everyday do not take it personally they may be feeding the dog or burping the baby.
24) Lucy - This of course does not pertain to me and I do not have to follow my own rules......do not drink and blog. If I had to follow this rule I would not be blogging right now. So there!
25) Cuddle40 - Be supportive to the person without encouraging bad behavior.
26) Misty - NEVER LET THE STREAM RUN DRY!
27) Chey/His Queen - Judge not lest yee be judged 10 fold and the Queen of Wrestling shall have to come and bodyslam the dickens right out of ya! I have spoken! Amen!
28) Chey/His Queen - Oh ya treat others as you would have them treat you or your family! Or fear the rath of The Queen Of Bodyslams!!
29) Imposter Lucy - There’s something very strange about Grandpa.
He hasn’t been the same since Grandmother passed away. He just sits around the house watching rap videos on MTV all day. And we worry all the time, Grandpa thinks he's Busta Rymes.
30) Colo - I like to encourage other people for their creativity or be supportive of them if I feel they are having a rough time. I like to give them tips on how to be read in case that is important to them. I think that there are a lot of people that need support.
31) Captain Morgan - I s'pose taking a shit in the sink might qualify as a hard and fast blog rule. Whoever shits in the sink CLEANS the sink!
32) Cuddle40 - Bad behavior is being down right rude when you don't like what you read. Being overly offencive to a mostly moral persons senses. Writing things that you think but should not be said in public.
I am not a prude, far from it, but I do have a line that I will not cross an the stream; a line that I may cross with my hometown friends.
33) Colo - My experience her has been the oppisite I have encountered people who think the modicum of anonymity gives them the right to vent on other people. They express their anger in a way that they would be much too afraid to do in real life...
34) Captain Morgan - Ok.....here's Captain Morgan's #1 rule of blogging: ALWAYS believe that whatever you choose to post means something to someone on the Stream. Nothing is too trivial to post and no one is good enough to judge what another Streamer chooses to post. If it doesn't work for ya then scroll on.... hit the delete button, take a cold shower, smack your sex organs with a hammer or do whatever the hell it takes to get past whatever wound you up to begin with. We're a family. A magical family. Sometimes the magic gets temporarily skewed. But it always returns to it's normally happy state eventually. So.... take some meds, smoke some homegrown smoke, sip on a glass of rum or just take a deep breath, fart if ya feel the need and enjoy the ride!
35) Polar Bear - Do not let a big fart then walk away.... If you are going to stink up the place then at least claim it and name it! Just a side note... my Fart Rule comment was intended to be a metaphor for meaning if you want to go causing a big stink around the stream...then dont be a coward and run away or block comments after you have said your piece... Have the courage to name what it is you are trying to say and claim it by not changing or erasing your words or changing those of others...
36) Chey - Never claims a fart it belongs to the one closest to the fart at the time!
37) Cuddle40 - I guess my last rule for myself wold be: Agree to disagree. Learn to walk away.
38) Cuddle40 - As far as the horizon, the city stretches out. Filled with people full of doubt. Mostly happy sometimes afraid; but mostly weary. Wanting to share or be saved from the day. We collapse into another reality where we can actually be ourselves for a change and share ourselves with others. Than there is the city, filled with people filled with doubt. We don't love each other but we learned how to be friends.
39) Mistress Reba - Beware of how quickly you might snub a new person here as they could be the most creative mind you have ever encountered yet just blew off...
If you really have a legit problem/complaint with someone please make it to the offending person after all they are the only person who can really correct it, show common courtesy...
In situations such as these (public domain) remember this old Crones profound thought that came from an old friend be careful and always remember...
"Be true, be blue, BUT never, ever be yourself".
Look at people (until you know them VERY well) as a bar crowd...
They will sit next to you on a Bar Stool all night long and buy you drinks BUT walk out the door and tell them you are hungry and they wouldn't buy you a hamburger if you were starving to death...
If you really do find a few GOOD TRUE friends here hold onto them and cherish them as they are damn sure hard to come by...
More than...
Blessed Be & Live Free...
40) Bookworm - it's okay to be passionate about your cause (politics, religion, etc.), but don't be surprised when others don't share your viewpoint. No personal namecalling when you're disagreeing with someone's opinion. Even Oracles of wisdom can have an off day.
Sometimes the emoticons can express our feelings better than words.
Remember, Profanity is the language of the inarticulate. While we all use it from time to time, is it really necessary to use it in a heated blog debate? Too much and your comments could be deleted or blocked.
Or simply apply the golden rule to blogging: Blog unto others as you would have others blog unto you.
Don't take yourself amd your blog so seriously. It's a recreational hobby not a matter of life and death. I don't know of any cases where a person has died from not blogging.
Last, but not least...the old Midwestern saying that goes something like: Be sure the words you say are sweet...Because one day you may have them to eat.
41) Puppy - We are all unique individuals and all have our own idiocycricies.(how the heck do you spell that?) Don't pick on mine and I won't pick on yours, hehe.
42) Six - My only rule is to turn the music up louder when Negativity comes knockin' at my door. :)
43) Grandma Baba - Maybe we should have a grievance committee to air any problems that arise or are questionable----we don't have to run a tight ship, but we can be ok otherwise...I am rambling again, so had better end here---need another beer anyway....I think all in all , that all of us a bunch of nice nutty people..oh no, made me think of the beer nuts.....will be back later to see how everything is going down....never stop talking to each other....maybe we should install a gossip column, too---we all love gossip--and I heard those fart jokes...anyone good at farting should contact donuts and apply for the dart fart olympics which are coming up, I have alread passed the test and am raring to go, so to speak.....later, you all
44) Life if Peachy - Mine is not a rule - its a pet peeve. I hate people that make this place feel like high school again. This is not a popularity contest - this is a place to vent and share and comment and interact with other adults! If you stick to yourself and don't comment back or show your appreciation to other bloggers, then you won't get the "interaction"! If you don't want people commenting, then shut off the comments section. If you don't like what you read, then move on! There are now over 12000 blogs to read - if you don't like one - you got 11999 more to go!
45) River Rat - Add a tiny note at the beginning of all cc's so people know what you are refering to..it can get quite confusing trying to figure out what everyone is talking about ( and also remembering what we ourself said to who, especially if the return comment comes 4 days later).
46) Grandma Baba - since everybody has a different mind, different talents, we still can make this blogstream be a fine tuned piece of blogging, since each of us has comething to contribute and does so----each in his or her own way...that is all anyone can ask for...its like we are all differnt nationalities with different voices and this is the melting pot.
47) Rita B - I do think a kind word is better to anyone, especially someone we only know online. It is hard to really know what is going on in someone's life so being supportive is always the way to go! I express my own opinions, but I would hate to think some comment I made ruined someone's day.
48) Sherry's Cherries - I have a rule that I'd like to add. When leaving a comment, use common sense and read it again before submittal to be sure it actually says what you want it to. Tellin' on my self here, I was asking Scratch when he was going to post Mind Freak #6. I wanted to be flattering when I asked so I started, got all done, and well, Best I can say is it contained a phrase that was downright provocative. Needless to say I took the offending part out and rephrased. Laughed a lot at myself over it since, but I make no bones about being the age I am. Can you imagine the reaction if he got the original remark.
We can do these things by accident, so, lets check our words out before we submit.
49) Annie S - How about a suggestion, not necessarily a rule, that folks click the cc button when replying to a comment so that person will know they've been responded to and will have a chance to answer back in a timely fashion if they so choose.
Also, I'd add a few words of encouragement for those that feel unheard--remember that for every positive comment you receive, there are no doubt tons of other people who share similar positive thoughts but just don't have the time or courage to post them.
50) Squash 4 Brains - When in Rome, do as the Romans, EAT ITALIAN! It is OK to be private. This is NOT a confessional, and the Pope doesn't blog here(that we know of). If someone is only PMing without leaving any public comments; be wary.
51) Prisoner of Hope - We are JUST bloggers. We may or may not be anyone special in our real lives but in the reality of the blogstream we are ALL JUST BLOGGERS. Let's not think more highly of ourselves than we ought.
52) Shiloh - Speak the truth, but always in love.
53) Colo - Don't take ourselves so seriously
54) CiaMarie - Just because someone in the Stream family drops out of sight with no explanation for a number of months, don't think they're gone forever!!
55) Nuttymomof6 - If you don't like what you are seeing there is a little x up in the right hand corner you can always use :)
56) RHolt - 1) Be respectful to others, and try to post something constructive. 2.) Note to self: See rule number one for once in your life.
57) Valkyrie - Don't follow anyone else's rules. Decide for yourself what's best and right and moral and good for the planet. Then do it.
