I Love this Site

Blog Posted:12/20/2011 5:30:00 PM

Has enriched me in ways nothing else has. So much so, that when PS admin said "Hey Nancy, you're cussin' too much," I said, "Okay, I won't any more and thanks for lettin' me cuss for as long as you did." No prob there.

My only prob with this site is that within 6-12 hours after I access it, my comp is so infected with viruses that I have to do a boot scan which takes about 3 hours and cramps my style.

So if you see less of me, it's because of what I just related coupled with the fact that there are other exciting sites where things get expressed civilly and don't shut me down.

Am NOT dissin' the anti-profanity thing here, I know lotsa words and am cool with tonin' down. Do wish that the sensitive poetic souls who monitor this place would find a (maybe even somewhat less sensitive) soul to keep it clean (from viruses that is, not from profanity, profanity is very well monitored!)

Namaste

The world would be so stale if we were all alike, you bring that rebel rouser feeling here to soup, and your comments are positive. so be yourself i say. harry

I paid for a "fixit contract" from Dell and get sent to India where all the sweeties work like hell to clean me up and get me in action again. More money than I like to spend but it was worth it in peace of mind. Re you; Unique, don't change, love you just the way you are! :)

Ah, now I see. I'm entitled to a few D'OHs. At least until I get to sleep through the night and I'm not running after a little girl who has started tearing off full speed and yelling, "ME NAKED! ME NAKED. HA HA!" She'll probably be cussing by three. ;-) Hugs, Cyndi

Yeah, Chris, prob because I posted this pretty quick after a three hour scan. Mega viruses.

Yep, so to illustrate, I just now posted a po and my antivirus program piped in instantly, "Hey, Nancy, there's some not cool things happenin' right now, do you want us to defend?" To which I said, "yep, sure do, thanks." Just so ya know.

Yo Andrea, I think Cyndi may be right, it's not the soup but some artist that's messin' (notice i didn't use the f'n word) me up. So will be more careful on many fronts. Preeshya sistah, yep, namaste ~N

Thanks, Tracie, backatcha and Cyndi, yep, cussin' around kids is wasting time 'cause they're gonna learn how to do that anyway. Parental time's better spent on other stuff. Feelin' the love from both y'all, needed it, sendin' it back too, thanks and namaste ~N

Hi, Nancy, I wonder what is making your computer have viruses here. I never notice anything like that here. I don't go too many places online. But maybe it has to do with the security system you have on your computer? Anyway, I wouldn't know. I can't even make myself a decent avatar!! haha, I was wondering when Soup would get you on the F word!!

Viruses just suck. I had to decontaminate my 'puter, too. I did not get the bug through this site, but by visiting a beloved ARTIST site. I was attacked! Bizarre. As an adult, as long as I'm not being insulted or degraded, I get that everyone's language is different. I used to cuss a lot. ;-) But I edited myself because of momhood. You know I like you, just the way you are (pardon the plagiarism from the Brigit Jones Diary Screenplay). Your style is unique and I always enjoy reading your poems. It is the different 'flaves' in this soup that make it delectable. If we were all potato and cream, it would be pretty dull. Spices are needed. Hugs, as always. Sorry about the puter woes. Are you sure they are from Soup?
