I am deleting all on my friend's list who are only here to make a couple bucks.

I'm with you. If I can't find some common ground with people who request me, I'll decline. Unfortunately, in the beginning, I was concerned over hurting people's feelings so I accepted everyone. That's why I now find myself needing to weed them out.

LOL this is OT but your pic is the same one I had months ago LOL...I wish it would animate in here though, then I would have kept it..I like my Noodleboy though :-D but I think its time for a change again :-) back on topic though, a lot of ppl have mentioned over the past few months about getting spam mail...thats so bloody annoying!

Oh Thank You Raven!! Yeah I had to get an animation shop thing to make it animate, the file I downloaded only animated on my profile page and not in comments, so I had to resize it. I got that Jasc Animation Shop 3. Its pretty cool. I had a really funny one up before. A stick figure typing at the keyboard and his arms dwindle down to nothing and he starts banging his head on the keyboard, it gets pretty bloody. But it was hilarious to watch. hehe Yeah I hate spammers too, its pretty annoying and it makes me feel like Im just a number or a piece of downline. Im glad Im not like that with people. Bay xx

Well spoke raijin, well spoke!

yes, icing is almost as fun and delicious as whipped cream, but I digress. I did the deletions and it really wasn't as many as I thought. I had to go through some and really look at their discussions and the quantity and the conversation factor. I only ended up ditching about 10 of them. I'm very reluctant to get rid of old friends who have been gone a while. I find myself threatening to do so all the time, but then I think that if they come back, I'll miss it.

*nods* My first friends on here I will never delete, even though some of them have said they aren't coming back. I'm just sentimental like that. :P Hehe, fun things! Sorry, I couldn't resist. :P

OMG, I couldn't delete you. You are too much fun.

I used to accept all, but I stopped doing that. My thing is not really whether they reply to my discussions or not. It's the quality issue. I might not ever reply to a discussion about the silly thing someone's cat did, but i appreciate the time and effort put into such a topic. People who post 50 plus a day are doing this for different reasons than I am. I just see not reason to retain them.

I would never delete you, annie. Your posts make me think. Keeps my brain charged. No, I started this discussion because of someone on my friends list who started a discussion about making over 60 dollars this month on this site. My first thought was, "they are neglecting their discussions if they are making that much." It just got me thinking about the lack of commonality. This person is here for the cash. I'm here for the conversation. Nothing in common so there is no reason to retain this person or others like them.

I'm so glad I'm still your friend, Cyn! I also saw that discussion, if it was the same one, by the person who made over $60 in a month. I should say I saw the title, I never got to the whole post but how do they do it? They'd have to be posting non-stop and not even reading what they're responding to. That's something that really annoys me when someone responds to a post and I can tell they didn't read the whole thing because what they're responding to has little or nothing to do with the original post. They read the title and MAYBE the first few words then just type whatever comes to their mind, then it's off to the next one. In my opinion they shouldn't get paid much for doing that because those aren't "quality" posts by any means. I might not get around to responding to every post and for some it takes me awhile but I read every word of the ones I post to. Anyway, I'm very happy that I'm still your friend; you make me think too and keep my fuzzy old brain somewhat active. Annie

Oh no. I could never delete that mother of my son's future husband. LOL

It's not really even that, space creature. It's a difference in reasoning. I'm here for conversation and enlightenting discussion. Perhaps a bit of debate. Many are here for the pennies. Them and I will never connect, so there is no point in continuing.
