Did you ever notice

That when we talk about quilting we share different techniques, happy dance for eachother and share shopping spots?

When we talk about off topic things people get offended and sometimes even leave the group?

I've been posting here since 1996 and maybe my memory is just poor, but I honestly don't recall anyone ever leaving the group because they were offended over a quilting technique.

Maybe we need to get back to basics, follow our charter and share our quilting.

Just something to think about.

I dunno, Marcella, people do get pretty worked up over the wash / don't wash controversy. ;-)

Now that just isn't true Kathy. You know if you don't wash then you are quilting wrong. No controversy there ; )

Yes, you put the individual slices on plates and deliver them to the table, then who would know?

Works well with cakes too. ;-)

welcome, Linda. this is usenet, you get anything and everything. just set up a filter to skip the OT (off topic) if that is your preference. we do discuss quilting here but like a real quilting bee when the usually ladies sat around the frame chatting about all things in their lives, we do the same here. we all have our moments, good and not so good, oh well. thats life, eh.

grab a cuppa and pull up a comfy chair and stick around a while. if you feel like it do tell us abit about yourself and your quilting. got anywhere online we can go see pix of your work?

we're a nosey lot here so be prepared for more questions and watch out for the begs, geez, you guys, give the lady a chance to find her place round the frame. pass the m'n'ms please, ok, who took the bowl this time???? some of them you just cant trust with that bowl of chocolate, lol. ok, time to check and see whos hiding under the frame with it. hmmmm. well lookie who i see, not again. arghhhh. its always the same ones. :)) cheers, jeanne

I am being totally OT here but.... I was at the store today and they had bags of BIG m&m's. They were noticeably larger than the usual size. Have you seen those yet?

ROFLOL - I was in heaven cause they've introduced "buckets" (about 1kg) of M&Ms, smarties, all sorts of yummies.

You will notice that most of the Off-topic posts are marked OT. If chatter bothers you, skip them. We're pretty happy the way it is.

Howdy! I've seen the BIG M's, but I prefer my M&Ms in their original form; the hard candy shell to chocolate ratio is easier to understand that way. "Did you ever notice" --keeping this on subject/topic: Hershey's Premier Baking PIeces, Milk Chocolate Filled w/ Caramel-- OhmygodIdiedandwenttoheaven!!! This quilter will just take a little break w/ these babies tomorrow, some may even end up in a batch of cookies. Or brownies. The rest will have to rest peacefully on my tongue.

Ragmop/Sandy--taking a quilting break to hack&cough&see the doctor-- that's what I get for mowing in the very dry outdoors in beautiful n.Texas --I should stick to quilting

I use Agent Version 2. I tried outlook, but couldn't quite get the hang of it. When I am away and on someone else's computer, I use Google Groups on the Net - much less efficient.

I'm all for washing. I'd rather not be stinky.

That missing pie slice just means if I want one it will be easier for me to serve myself. I hate to remove the first slice because it's the hardest one to get out of the pie pan without making a mess.
