As a rule I try not to as long as it is not getting out of hand. I do think though that right now these out of hand moments are becoming too frequent. I am sure it will pass eventually, as right now there are a number of rather heated issues going on with diametrically opposed points of view.

The biggest tool I use, is self moderating. Many, many, many times I will write entire paragraphs, and then I will sit back and think "Naah" and hit the 'back' button on my browser. Often these are emotional posts, and by the time I get to the end of them and I've finished writing, I've looked over it and wondered if it was really worth the upset that such a post would cause, and I've decided that it's not and it's consigned to the ether.

Of course, sometimes some nonsense does slip through and that's what Takeda and the gang are there to intercept. Poor sods.

Anyway, I can hear the dawn chorus outside which means I really should get to bed...

Really? Nobody misses Twinkies? :cool:

Meh. They'll still be around in 500 years.

Too many carbs.:down:

Well yeah, but I still miss them!

I always preferred Hostess Cupcakes. Chocolaty and I always ate them upside down, cake first and frosting last. :sunny:

Phht ... MyFitnessPal reminds me of that ... so I stopped logging my occasional indulgence. :smug:

Reminds me of an old Family Guy episode... :har:

Best part of which was Peter's "shelter" with cases of beer stacked up against the wall. My wife saw that and immediately told me "that's sooooooo you!". :rock:

Now THAT ... THAT is a novel idea. Gonna have to find an equivalent and make the attempt ...

/hijackedthread (maybe, no promises)

Of course it doesn't work with real frosting, but that rock-hard stuff on the store cakes? Yumm!

Don't be silly. It'll wander back on-topic when it feels like it. Besides, you've just returned. I know! Start your own thread on coming back and then it can wander somewhere else. Who knows where it might end up?

Thanks, Steve ... I might just do that. I have a pretty interesting story to tell so what the heck. :arrgh!:
