BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids Why do I find it so unappealing?

fbritt, I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your cat, Zoe, so recently. It's so difficult, and it really helps to talk/post about it, doesn't it? I like that Rainbow Bridge story (animals who pass away go to the "Rainbow Bridge") - I wonder if there's any truth to it. Anyway, my thoughts are with you. I know it hurts for a long time.

Those are badgers?

Huh! I always thought a badger would look more like a gopher. I just looked at your post, Manatee, and I swore those looked like anteaters, so I was going to post a question, "What's up with the anteaters?"

I have learned more about exotic animals in the last few weeks; combine that with bushy birthing, and it's no wonder we're a popular forum.

I must say, in hearing about how many people are involved in animal rescue projects, I'm beginning to feel a bit moved. All I do is care for my cat and give a little money to the Texas Marine Wildlife group. *shrug* Maybe I'll look into animal rescue. How did you all pick your critters? Some have bunnies, some have...slider sugar flying things (just teasing, Ingilbert, I know what they are now) ... some have hedgehogs...anyone like bats? >:)

Of course, whenever ANYONE mentions badgers.....

Thanks for that, Duane - it's rather mad!

Angela, the badgers in my picture are Eurasian badgers. The American ones look quite different (and, no offence to American badgers, far less attractive, in my opinion!).

That's one of those 'viral' things that once you hear it, you can't get rid of it.

Someone mentioned how obvious it is that the forum is labeled "Married No Kids". If you look to the right there are a number of posts that are listed from all over the forum area with the latest discussions. It's easy for someone to click on one of those and not realize what forum they've entered... especially if they are new to the forums or threads in general.

Hey there Moe, I understand where you're coming from on that; it's a very easy mistake to make, but this lady (I assume she's a lady from her username) knows full well that this is a Childfree forum, so I do think it's rather unfair that she appears to be trolling.

No, I love badgers and hedgehogs! American badgers are a lot wider though. Yes, less attractive, I think!

Okie dokie. There's always someone who likes to go into the Buddhism other alternate religions (for lack of a better term) who like to stir things up too.

I, too, have made this mistake.

I entered a discussion once on something I saw posted on the right-hand side about someone not being allowed to enter a country because she was too obese. So I charged in there, posting, "I must say I'm glad someone, somewhere finally made this woman accountable to her own health issue."

I had no clue it was in the Large & Lovely room -- whoops. Moe called me out on it too. It wasn't until later when I realized where I had posted...it would be like going to the Parenting room and while they're trying to discuss best practices in "Time Outs," for me to post something like, "Just SMACK the hell out of 'em!"

Since learning that lesson, I always take note of the room I'm in before posting, and I must say, I've declined to post some things after such realization.
