Here's my thoughts....if it is not negative...leave it. If it doesn't fuel negativity...leave it. As far as the new corner of posts(PDA)....I'd leave it. I find life simple and great here not having to hear or read sad life changing stories or those wanting freebie stuff. I know that sounds cold hearted, but, come on! Don't you think it is too soon to change anything yet? Aren't people's feet still learning the sidewalk over the first changes??
Do I read jokes personally??Once in awhile....but know the ones not to check on:)Humor is a different level for all of us but, there is obv. ones that should have their own rating:)Prayer requests....I believe sincere and not bothersome. Now, if you are wanting to make this a shop talk only...then just say so. Nothing but quilting or quilt talk here....people can learn how to 'pm' someone if that is what they need to do to share something off topic. Just call it....we shall follow...:)Skeat
