I never thought I'd become a welfare queen
Pete, I agree with Refried when saying that there is no way SD had anything to do with this, I’d bet my life savings on it (wait..if I had a life savings then I would). It’s obvious from how she expresses herself on here that just isn’t how she roles. That girl can debate herself blue without putting down the other person or needing to do something behind the scenes. To me it is obvious who the person on the CB posts is – but hell, I see no point in posting it up here. They’ve hated Josh here, and hated Josh there (although at one point they were gushing over him – to extreme levels so basically they just go from one extreme to another which is bizarre) - so who cares if they use different screen names on each site, they don’t use their real name on either one so it’s all behind the screen anyhow. Mindy, I’ve never understood why you always play the victim with whatever it is you rant on and on about with SD. You write well, you contribute good things to the site, but sometimes you get on these kicks about how you feel your situation with her went or about her in general. Not that I’ve caught everything but I’ve seen quite a few posts where you’ve been the one attacking her. SD doesn’t just get angry, name call, or stalk out like you’re trying to imply so really how about checking what you’re saying or making yourself believe. I’m not saying everyone has to get along but you are far from the victim in this case. I imagine this entire site will suffer a loss of hits if Josh is actually gone. I've disagreed with him on several things in the past and I've also voiced my discontent at how he has expressed his anger when it's there. However there were a lot of entertaining, funny and interesting things he provided many of us with for reading. I'm still hoping that the rumors aren't true and maybe he's just checking his own issues and will be back on here soon. We all have issues and that sometimes need a little (or a lot) of tweaking.— January 13, 2010 9:41 a.m.
Hangin' on the Telephone
Miss Manners also frowns upon those who are sitting at the dinner table with company and are taking phone calls and holding conversations that are completely non-emergency. Not many people I know who do those but those couple that do baffle me each time.— November 16, 2009 4:29 p.m.
The Diaper Darling -- Astronauts Gone Wild
#22 You can always out buy people, and their properties, and keep building and luckily, there are more than 28 properties in this bigger game. And refried I am a fan of “refriedguy” as an aka, it brought giggles.— November 13, 2009 11:13 a.m.
The Diaper Darling -- Astronauts Gone Wild
I’m in on that Monopoly game, and I don’t really give a crap about who’s been playing longer. I make my rounds, keep building, and go from there. So far it’s been working out fine. All the people who want to throw a wrench in my game because they don’t like my game piece can kiss my a55. They can try to block, but I’ll always have a chance to roll the dice. Of course, there were rules before I got her, but rules can be changed, so I can be sure to make a difference on what's to come The history of any game is important to know and remember, but games evolve - no matter how simple the pieces are. http://www.wellnessbriefs.com/cmspage.asp?file=sp…— November 12, 2009 4:34 p.m.

#132 - perfectly said, as usual.— October 30, 2009 11:35 a.m.

Yeah, I think thats the same one I saw get pulled...was totally bizarre. I can't see them pulling Sundi's questions/comments though, but I guess anything is possible. I just know that the writers here have no pull on what gets removed from the site so if they were for some reason pulled, Josh isn't why.— October 29, 2009 9:44 a.m.

It's pathetic that this is even all an issue. The column gets across the point that Robert is a beautiful human being. I especially like "He got a huge smile on his face and said, “I know all the songs.”". Robert is ill and the petty arguments that are being brought up here and the letters section is a complete disgrace to follow a celebration of life party which was thrown for him. Nothing negative was in the article, sadly however much negative has been written afterwards. Everyone involved (expect Robert, who I'm guessing knows nothing of any of these exchanges) should probably learn what matters when someone you love is fighting a much more important battle. WOW.— October 29, 2009 8:28 a.m.

Tam - are you possibly referring to the letter in the letters section? Although that doesn't appear to have been written by Sundi. If Sundi sent a letter or email to the Reader, we wouldn't see it online (unless they publish it, in the hardcopy). For it to appear here she'd have to actually come to this site, create a user name, log in and post (as you did)....do you know what her screen name is?— October 28, 2009 11:42 p.m.

Tam, just an FYI posts rarely seem to get deleted on this site (however I have seen one case where something not so risque was taken down) and Josh has absolutely no control (or influence) of what stays on or gets taken off these forums, it's all on the website administrator. Also, anytime I've seen one be pulled down, something along the lines of "Comment Removed By Website Administrator" appears - although I guess I'm not positive that's always the case.— October 28, 2009 11:11 p.m.
Craigslist Craziness -- The Costume Edition
Josh - I thought the same thing when I saw the title, but then saw the content was different. This story actually has been covered by a few sources so figured we were just getting your spin on the reported story, as usual. However, it seems like you should be able to explain that without resorting to name calling which is on par with a four year olds preschool playground fight.— October 26, 2009 5:01 p.m.
