NOW I know why so many tag lines say 'mature content'!

To be very honest I had nbot thought about this eather. Looks like I wiull have to think on how i post things from now on.

Well, daaaaaum, girl!

I actually GAVE my oldest son his very own 'curse' word when he was about 5 years old. Something had made him so angry he was about to burst, so I told him to yell out "Toot!" when he got like that, to release some of that tension, you understand. It was so cute to see this little guy shouting "Toot!" whenever he got that angry! Any word can be a curse word if you use it in that context. I wonder what myLot thinks about that one? If this conversation is deleted, we'll know, huh? LOL

Hahaha! So true, selece! Good to see you back! How did your semester go? How long do you have before you leave us again?

Oh, man! Sorry, selece! I JUST noticed your response. That's one thing I don't like about myLot. They don't let you know every time someone responds! Grrrr! Anyway, I'm doing pretty good, thanks for asking! Hanging in there, anyway. I have so much to do before winter settles in, but I think it's settled in early this year! It's COLD outside! Just 44 degrees right now... that's FAHRENHEIT, and it's almost 10:00 a.m.! Getting ready for my son to come over right now. We're having a pumpkin carving party! I've never done this before, so it should be fun. I bought 4 HUGE pumpkins. We're going to have quite a mess! LOL But, at least I'll have a bunch of seeds to plant next year! I had to organize something like you did once. YES! It takes a LOT of work!!! I never want to do that again. Whew! All the phone calls, making sure things were bought, making sure people had what they needed to do what they had to do, making sure it all came together in the end, etc. etc. I don't envy you your experience, but I applaud your doing it! Keep up the good work at school! What are you majoring in, anyway? Did you ever mention that? If you did, I forgot or didn't see it, sorry! I'll make sure to check back on this discussion before 3 weeks have gone by! LOL

Hehe! Umm... I think I have a month here or more. I'll be away by late November maybe. Had a fun semester but a tiring one. I was even an organizer for one major event on our college days, it was very tedious. Never knew it was that hard to organize one. LoL. How about you, how's it going?

I did the same and had the same happen to me. We'll miss out on a lot of great discussions if we choose not to see those of 'mature content' since most of them are quite benign. Unfortunately, we also get those that truly ARE of 'mature content'. That phrase has always rubbed me the wrong way, anyway. From what I've seen in the movies and on TV that claim the rating 'mature content', I'd say the viewers who enjoy them are anything BUT mature! 'Lecherous' might be a better word!

I understand what you mean. You are writing about something very innocent (if roaches can be considered innocent, LOL) and they wouldn't let you use it. I had the exact same thing happen to me with another similar word. I DO understand that myLot is trying to keep the nasty comments out of here but I've seen a few truly offensive comments posted here. They were deleted soon afterward, but they allowed them to be posted! I don't get it.

Huh? You mean the word hard is also a forbidden word? If that is the case, the how are we to express the meaning of something that is not soft? I guess the mods have their reasons for making a word forbidden. But it would be great if they could at least publish the list. Then we do not have to try and figure out and guess whenever we make a response or post a new discussion.

Yes, I can believe it... now. So many extremely common words have been used as slang for nasty things that it's difficult to find words that have no adverse connotations! (I almost said "hard" instead of "difficult" but thought myLot would take even THAT the wrong way! LOL)

I was just joking about the word 'hard'. But you have made an excellent suggestion! They should post the list of 'mature' words so at least we'd know what were are dealing with here!

Balls! Why da noive of dem! LOL So many common, everyday words are used as some kind of offensive slang these days that you just don't know what to write! MyLot obviously has an automated system that has these key words in it that are 'tagged', just in case there's the slim chance that they're being used offensively! I've had to completely change the context of a response I was TRYING to write because of one word that myLot thinks is offensive, when it was so very innocent! I can't remember what the word was, offhand, but it was very similar to your comment about balls. Only I got more than a 'mature content'. They wouldn't allow me to POST it! Just like another response in here by annjileena, she was trying to say the long version of the bug, "roaches", you know, with the c**k in front of it. It's just a bug! Geesh! Okay, I promise... no more #@!&*#@ swearing!

Oops, I meant myklj999, not mkl. Sorry myklj999!!!

Life is taking me to a new direction, but I don't know for how long. I have so many writing assignments, it's not easy to squeeze in mylot. I was on vacation for 10 days, so that set me way behind. I included a picture,but they never look good when you upload them. I'm alive, I'm not on mylot, but I'm fine. PM anytime, but I only log in once in awhile. (for right now) This conversation is wild! I love reading everyone's comments. travel lightly I miss you too, anawar

Hey there, anawar!!! Long time no see! I hope I see you around again soon. What's happening? Hope all is well or at least relatively sane. I wasn't so much ticked off as I was baffled by the whole thing. Flummoxed? Flabbergasted? "What the 'hot place you go when you die if you've been really, really bad'?" Just a passing brain fart. Oops, there's another one of those words! Brain wind? Yeah, our country really IS falling apart. It's scary! That's an entirely new topic of conversation, though, that could go on indefinitely. It's honestly scaring me pretty badly right now with the stock market crashing and everything. THAT won't hurt me directly, except that I inherited some stocks from my stepfather that were worth around $14,000.00 at the time; they're probably worth about $140.00 now. Guess I'll hold on to 'em and see what happens. Take care of yourself! I've been thinking about you and wondering. I'm always afraid to PM people who've apparently disappeared because, if I don't get a response, I'll worry REALLY badly! It's so nice having you around! I hope you can at least poke your head in for a quick "hi and howdy do" now and then, like you just did.

I hear ya and understand completely, relundad! I don't need to listen (or read) offensive language, either. We hear enough of it as it is in our everyday lives already! It's a shame that our so-called "civilized" countries are becoming so uncivilized! I was just commenting on something like that earlier this evening to my husband. Whatever happened to the DECENT movies like A Christmas Story or The Sound of Music? One of my favorite movies of all time is called "Trip to Bountiful" and there is not one single word in there that could even remotely be construed as offensive. It seems that, these days, that's all you hear in the new movies coming out. It's so sad!

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. When my kids were younger, I rarely even used the word 'heck' or 'shoot'. I'll admit that, occasionally, their alternatives pop out of my mouth, but it's usually when I'm driving and I see something incredibly stupid or incredibly dangerous by another driver. I never suffered from 'road rage' but sometimes I'm just so taken by surprise by other drivers! If they do something that almost causes me to have an accident, I can't take responsibility for what might pop out of my mouth! I told my kids that 'car' language is different than 'everyday' language. LOL
