Where are the happy posters, who like to share their jokes and humor?

What's the funniest thing, you have seen on TOTV?

We all know this is a great site for getting together and sharing ideas, that will save you time and money. The admin's do a great job, but why do some posters feel a need to put others down? One reason maybe, is they feel by putting someone else down, they become elevated in their own eyes.

What benefit does one derive, by hurting others feeling?

Isn't GOD's second greatest commandment, "to love one another as I have loved you". We should all be here, to help one another.

Off soapbox...... flame away.... as I was just sayin.......
Not for me. It's still fun and I have met many new people that I like to call friends through here. If everyone agreed every minute on everything, then it would cease to be fun. You don't have to agree with me nor I with you. I do respect that you have your own opinions and that is a good thing. It allows us all to look at both sides of the board at hand and the edges, too.

If someone wants to vent on me or put me down, go for it. As my husband has always said, "Give it your best shot, honey, 'cuz you're throwing spit balls at a battleship". Until someone else puts their feet in my shoes, they have no idea how they fit or what they are talking about as to how they feel on mine. Besides, going after me, they are leaving someone else alone if that's what they enjoy.

A little levity here:

"To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target."

"The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese."
