But did I REALLY do that much damage by what I said? LOL

Now I always heard that saying as :
to speak softly is silver, to remain silent is golden.
Another of my favorites,
Tis better to remain silent and thought a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt.

I live by this Jonathan Antin quote: "I don't need you to make me understand anything, make no f***in' mistake about it."
Sounds laughable at first, but think about it...;-)

sexual connotations
okay is it just me or do these threads tend to get a bit sexually connotated? Its okay with us being adults an all but there may be some younger people reading these threads. I mean like 11-12 year olds. As we know an obsession with appliances can start at a young age and this site is a perfect place to satisfy those intrests without declaring it to the whole world. Just because someone uses a figue of speech saying they are up to their wazoo in tinsel doesn't mean we have to go all out and star asking what a wazoo is, its a figure of speech for gods sake. Remind me never to try and start a well meaning clean thread, yes there have been some good replies but this sexual connotation should be dulled down a bit, just to protect people who could be reading these threads and are offended by that sort of talk. not mentioning any names. I don't mean to whinge i'm just trying to think of the wellbeing of the site and its users.

Hi Matty,
First let me be the first to apologize if I have said anything to offend. This would be the last thing in the world I wish to do BUT could you please quantify your informal accusations a bit more with some examples? I see some light hearted innuendo but nothing near what I hear out of children of the age that you refer to. Hell...in four minuets of MTV or FX you will hear much worse language and sexual connotation than what I have witnessed from this group since I joined. And what you see on MTV or FX seems to be what kids are imitating today!
I have a feeling that you may be a bit hurt and feeling that your first post largely went unappreciated. For that,too, I am sorry. It really was a very nice quote and I should have acknowledged it.
From the two months or so that I've been here I can't imagine anyone who would want to offend anyone least of all a child!
Again, sorry if I've offended anyone.

HI Matty. Sorry if the discussions in the thread went too far. The intent was never to offend anyone, least a child. I will be more carefull the next time. By the way, the thread you started was great and a lot of fun. Sometimes it is taken too far.

Having done motivational sales seminars my favorite saying is one that I try to live with as well and that is "Think you can. Think you can't. Either way you will be right!"
