What if we were to make January a month of no negative posts? That is, if a newbie posts about something occurring, we thank them for the information instead of doubting their word? If someone says something you disagree with, you thank them for their opinion and keep your negative thoughts to yourself? If you get the urge to be snarky, you simply type your response but don't send it (deleting it later)? If you get the urge to be negative for any reason, you say it to yourself but don't post it?

I promise to not roll my eyes at VPL food posts (sorry, VPL, couldn't resist). I promise to not think "snarky" when Doug is being witty (again, just couldn't resist). I promise to not let the praises to the rafters about the Morses get stuck in my craw and "force" me to say something. I promise that if I don't like the food or service in a restaurant, I will keep it to myself for 31 days. I promise to not let those poor, misguided conservative souls get under my skin.

I second that motion! Happy New Year everyone!

Redwitch, you are such a marvelous person. We are all very blessed to be a party to your wisdom.

And how about these:

Let's don't pick on all people of a certain profession because we think we understand how their profession works.

If people post that The Purple People Eater was sighted in their neighborhood just let it go.

True story. A elderly lady in south Atlanta called the police station to report that GIANT turkeys were running all about in her backyard. Deputy rolled his eye, I'm sure, and they all had a good laugh. Turns out that a truck had overturned on nearby I-75 and a bunch of ostriches had escaped!

I'm in.

Yes...during January (and thereafter) a cup filled 50% is 1/2 full...not 1/2 empty.

Ahhh-TV! We're living the dream in Paradise.

Redwitch. You know I think the world of you but never more than today. Excellent plan.


I will try to be nice.

That is a wonderful idea!

Redwitch, as usual, is the voice of sanity and I totally agree with her plan.

[Karenu]

Wonderful idea!

[shcisamax]

EXCELENTE ! Such a better thread than mine that focussed on what was wrong ....Redwitch actually came up with a positive solution. Bravo! I'm in.

[l2ridehd]

So for the whole month we can have no dog poop, round about, bad food, or electric vs gas debates? There will be no posts.

[shcisamax]

Now that's the TOTV I remember.

[Jhooman]

I'm in. Well said, your brilliant.

Happy New Year!
