I am glad Drew (and the town) escaped any serious effects of the fire. It gets a bit worrying whenever I hear helicopters above.

We are not giving back summer just yet (sorry Clo and Gary). It’s getting up to 40C on Monday and 39C for the rest of the week. Crossing fingers

Fingers crossed y'all stay safe from fires. 

The weather is pretty nice lately. A bit chilly in the morning but it gets up to 18-20°C in the afternoon 😎

Again. I’ve already responded to this, it’s getting ridiculous. 

And the rest of our conversations aren't??

Hello, nutbars... and dugh and Mum.

I still find it hard to believe Max is turning 13 tomorrow.  😮

@dughlas @Headstall The 13th birthday is the hardest, isn't it? You remember when they would crawl into your bed because of a bad dream, or a storm; then you blink, and you're taking the obligatory photo of the kid with their prom date.

@bignick @clochette @dughlas Stop bullying @spike382!

I was going to ask 'what did I do?', when I read the previous posts. Wow! I've been called a shit-stirrer, but that was definitely not my intention. 

Hey, Spikey. I want to apologize if I offended you in any way, shape, or form by implying something that was never factual. I do hope you take a moment to realize I was just joking. Am I not your type? That's cool. You didn't hurt my feelings.

Dugh and Clo, you both are too sweet to get into unnecessary arguments because of me.  

P.S. I'm the cutest guy any of you will ever meet.  And that's according to my mom.

I never once took anything you said seriously, nothing I posted ever said otherwise.

No, not really and it wasn’t “for you.”  The entire thing was unprovoked, bizarre, and completely unnecessary

I guess I’m just supposed to sit back and be told “what I really mean” and agree to whatever people talk at me.

Well sorry, I’m not that guy.

But, no, you didn’t offend me in any way.  And yes, I did realize you were joking so was I, until whatever the hell that was.

Well, could have fooled me. 

But if I may... and I promise I'll bury the subject... when others take our words in a different context than the one we intend it to be, it's not their fault. It's up to us to clarify what we mean in order to avoid misunderstandings. (been there  done that). Open, honest, and respectful communication is always the best policy. 

I hope you give some thoughts to what I'm saying.

And fyi, you ain't my type either.

Sorry, I don’t agree.  If someone takes something someone else says out of context, that’s is definitely their fault, and usually deliberate.

For instance I could read something more from what you just posted, but I’ll take it at face value and move on with my life.

All I know is whenever I am confused by what someone posts, I think of the person posting and how they wouldn't try to hurt anyone (we are all good, decent people), and then I'm all good. Things get misconstrued all the time, here and elsewhere, but we are friends, right? No one is ever deliberately mean, but humor takes twists and turns when we are caught up in it. I believe our biggest goal is to make others laugh, and to me that's a terrific thing. Love you all... and you're all crazy AF.

Decent people could you please stand up!

I'm sorry things got messy because of what I said. It was meant as a joke but clearly things went sideways. I'll think twice in the future.

Oh, no, teenagers are just moody, hates everyone, no one understands them... I see your point.
