Such hypocrisy! Given the bullshit you got yourself into by trying to
"save" a girl just because she was in "need", and your own subsequent
insanity not least through failing to work your own program, in what
way are you qualified to criticise anything anyone else tries to do or
say for others?

What?

Where and when did I try to save someone and subsequently get myself
into a load of insanity through failing to work my own program?

Until that happens, there's no pot, kettle or black in what I wrote,
Rosie. Yours, yes. Mine, no.

ROTFLMAO!

google yourself, and see how you took gails inventory, while
scolding her for doing the same thing!

yes, POT-KETTLE-BLACK

You're the queen of that particular brand of behaviour here, so what
makes you think you're qualified to add any comment is quite beyond
me, even though your behaviour comes as no surprise.

I wasn't scolding anyone for taking another's inventory, I was
commenting on both the hypocrisy and the apparent absence of truth
within that inventory.

Unless, of course, Gail knows something about JB's activities that I
don't and so is referring to "privileged information". But that seems
unlikely.

You do not have the least idea of what you are talking about, Blue. That
girl had nothing to do with what happened to me. I don't blame her so, why
should you?
Are you saying that my program is not as good as JB's? HAHA..I am not the
one flirting with wanting a drink everytime something in my life goes
haywire. Yep, I chose and made a mistake last year. It was my mistake. No
one to blame but me. You are so funny at times. I have one good thing
going for me. Maybe one day you will find IT, too.

Blue, as JB would put it, "Isn't that gossiping:? LOL!

Gail,

You know for sure that I have ever said such a thing ?

Irrespective of whether or not you do, Blue's words do not fit any
definition of the word "gossip" that I've come across:

gossip (Èg�sIp) n.

1. casual and idle chat: to have a gossip with a friend.
2. a conversation involving malicious chatter or rumours about other
people: a gossip about the neighbours.
3. Also called: gossipmonger. a person who habitually talks about
others, esp. maliciously.
4. light easy communication: to write a letter full of gossip.
