The contest?
In 200 words or less, write what do you miss most about old mean Paulding.com.
These contest entries are stand alone and should not be answered. Second, while all rules apply to the entries and no personal attacks will be tolerated, there is one 'identity' that can be pummelled mercilessly.
That identity is known solely as "Leardear" and that identity will be created as a popo. As far as 'who' leardear is ... I suspect that s/he might be a multiple personality ... but leardear takes a lot but I suspect s/he can dish it out so be careful.
I will choose a few folks as judges for this effort. Obviously the folks I choose will not have entered.

Pubby, you getting into the Thanksgiving spirits already?

They may see the good you do as self serving.
Continue to do good.
They may see your generosity as grandstanding.
Continue to be generous.
They may see your warm and caring nature as weakness.

I already asked that in the other thread.

Why does it have to be political correctness? Why can't it just be common courtesy?
If Tylenol, duct tape, or a band aid can't fix it... you've got a serious problem!

I miss the Pcom that was here when I first came on. Their was lively discussion on all sorts of topics and disagreements were just that. I am new to the South and have learned a lot from this site. Some topics I stayed out of...Just not my cup of tea but others I just jumped right in and had a great time. As an outsider looking in, at first I was a bit intimidated but that never discouraged me. The first two people that made me feel welcome were Lady Raider and Jabez and the first person to aggravate the piss out of me was Lesley (maybe because she reminded me of myself when I was younger) but sorry Lesley there have been others who have really angered me in ways in which you haven't even come close. Within a few weeks, I felt at home and made many really good friends and continue to do so. We are like a big family. We have our arguments, we share tears of joy and sorrow, we dislike each other and we love each other and even if we don't admit it we truly care about each other. Families go thru periods of change and come back stronger all the time. That is what I wish for this family. I am not always nice and I am not always bad but I am just me for what it is worth and I thank you all for being just you.
A government, for protecting business only, is but a carcass, and soon falls by its own corruption and decay. Amos Bronson Alcott

You know...I used to write poetry and it has been a very long time in writing anything(No, my poetry was serious stuff) so I thought what the heck...just a little laugh of my response. It's just a first run write though.My entry:
Hey, what do I miss about mean ole Pubby’s site;
Not a day went by without knowing, there was a fight
Now I sit and stare; wonder at words,
Not knowing what to say, or what I heard
Somewhere deep down inside;
I miss the old days, when thoughts collide
Now a contest has been hatched and born;
Is something up or has Pubby’s pants torn?
He tells us to spell out why, only 200 words or less;
So I sit here and wonder will this become a mess?
So should someone like me spell it out or will I pout;
Because somewhere along the line, I may be out.
Who is this LadyDear that I may lash out at, or should I surmise?
What the heck, it’s a contest with premium membership as a prize.

Edited because I just read the rules. I'll be back with an essay. A years membership is worth my 2 cents.

My Entry:
I miss how "real" the old Pcom was....where people didn't always agree and everything wasn't all perfect. Deep down in all the anger and hatred there was love.....certain people disliked each other but at the same time if someone needed help people would come together to help that person if they liked em or not. Sure people disagreed but thats life. Being real is much better than being fake and being what you aren't.

If you didn't see it with your own eyes or hear it with you own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!

One thing I've come to understand as a writer is that you always write what you want.

PS: I remember being assigned to write an essay on why I like my sugar sweet. What did this essay end up being about? Kissing girls of course.
