Now that you mention it...
I was on vacation when you made changes, and I don't quite understand what is supposed to go in the GCC forum. Pet pictures and jokes?
I haven't looked at any of the PDA's except when I was trying to find information and pictures of the wedding. But those were in the GCC forum.
Is there a thread that clearly defines the difference?

Never mind. I found it.
It doesn't really matter, of course... I know what a pain it is to moderate, but I do miss seeing the regular chatty threads.

I love to look at the pictures of babies, kids and pets. Please leave them in the chit chat section. Thanks for asking.

Patrice: you do a great job; don't make it harder on yourself. What's that rule? KISS--keep it simple sister. If it's all in ChitChat, one can skip pets or skip babies or whatever. Sometimes I like cute things, some times I don't. I don't like having to go to different sites that's why I like this section. Now go have a nice piece of chocolate and a glass of wine since you hit yourself in the head; oh wait, that's what I'd do. Thanks for all you do for us.
Peace-Jan

my personal opinion is that pets and babies both belong in PDAs. period. but, once we decided to let pets back into GCC, it began to feel awfully wierd to leave them but delete the kids. i could picture myself staring down the snout of Susy's schnauzer, and fuming because my cuddly-poo grandbaby got the old heave ho. it just didn't seem fair.
my "question" was my way of letting you all know that i wasn't going to delete the kids anymore.
but, FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD, don't turn GCC into an endless flood of babies and pets. take turns, ya'll. keep it moderate and reasonable. otherwise Admin is gonna kill me. :shock: :lol:
p.s. i know this is going to sound harsh, but i'm going to say it anyway. i have no sympathy for anybody who's "afraid" to post.
1. if you haven't seen anything like the post you want to share in GCC lately, and you aren't sure, just ask first. it's too easy.
2. keep it in perspective. if you make a mistake, only the post disappears. you'll still be safe, sound, and as welcome as ever. we aren't going to send thugs to your house to drag you out of bed and beat you up in the street. we won't spit on your kittens, kick your puppies, dress your kids funny, or eat your last bag of cheetos.
cross my heart :wink:

I still love the board but find it more time consuming.

It's nice to hear we won't be kicked to the curb if our post is deleted, but it still feels bad when it happens. I speak from experience. Too many rules and censorship is not a good thing. (no, I don't think that is a political remark.....)
And, Karla, I am sorry I missed the haystack. Now, that is something I know I really would have enjoyed.

I love pictures of critters, and love to see everyone's pets. If deviants are using those pictures for bad intent, I don't want to know about it!

It doesn't matter to me. I sometimes click the thread open...other times I don't. Now...I have not been blessed with grandkids, yet....and I know that when I am, I will want to share...safely. I do have a dog and, of course, he is the most beautiful dog in the world!

this is a virtual neighborhood. we feel like "just us", but we are really "just us" plus anybody in the world who wants to watch through the window or listen at the keyhole.
