I really didn't come to TV to spend my time debating if the Ice is too cold or too hot and just what are the rules around Ice.

So, I wish for you all to live long, to prosper and be happy with the time you have left.

I am now going back to enjoy my cool aide and all that TV has to offer.
Martian, if you are still on... I'm sorry you are leaving and hope you will change your mind. Off topic, but have you heard about the Civil Discourse club? I think it meets every other week. You might enjoy it. Civil Discourse Club - The Villages, FL. - Home | Facebook

Sorry to see you go M, It can be overwhelming especially when talking about anything controversial. Now you know where the majority stands here with politics, MMJ, and even dog poop lol

I agree with the above poster that said maybe just tune out for a bit. Life is way to short to sweat the small stuff.

Drop out for a while, take a deep breath, and enjoy your new life. Yes, there are "curmudgeons" on TOTV. Also, people for whom TOTV may be their only contact with others. And of course, those who just have to have to last word. Just let it roll off your back because it's their problem, not yours. Come back when you're ready.

I do detect " Pouting and a sprinkle of Sulking".

So with that in mind, I will give two There There, and three pat's on the shoulder. So pull yourself together time is on your side.

It helps to smile when you wake up. " Bonus Time " There There

For the most part ever since Al Gore invented the internet forums and review sites have been a place to complain both legitimately and falsely. Frankly, I wouldn't take it too seriously especially here where we are mostly all a bunch of alta cockers (*)

If Martian signs back onto his thread I don't see why he wouldn't want to stay. What a crack up!

While looking up what “alter cocker” might be in English, I came across this story of an “Old Fart”:


Guy goes to his to his girlfriend's house for dinner and some tv watching. As they're sitting on the couch watching the tube, the old retriever, Rufus, wanders over and lays right under his feet. The guy, whose stomach has been acting up after eating her cooking, starts getting a bit bloated, the 'ol gut pressure is building up and he really needs to cut the cheese before something internal ruptures.

Finally he can't stand it anymore and cuts a small one, "bwweeeep". The girl, shocked, looks down as says, "Rufus!!". Guy thinks that this is rather fortuitous turn of events so lets another small one loose, for test purposes, "Bwwraaapp". The girl again looks down at the dog, "Rufus!!!"

Thinking he is now home free since she's blaming the poor dog, he waits a couple of minutes then really lets go, "Fweeeeebrapbrapbrapsputsputsputfisssss...." Ah! Relief!

She looks down at the poor dog and exclaims, "Rufus, get out from under there before he craps all over you!!!!!"

You're getting "alter cocker" mixed up with "alter caca."

Confusing cocker with caca is called sharting.
