I always miss the good stuff. Oh well, what can you do?
Interesting enough, someone FB stalked me and sent me a friend request telling me they knew who I was, and how dare I dis their DU friends. I kind of thought it may be someone from here testing me, but maybe it really was a DUer. Not surprised. It was creepy though. I had to change my privacy settings. I have been fairly honest here, and anyone who knows anything about me would have figured it out anyway.

Did I say I was leaving?

Well, I thought you might display proper manners and GTFO, but, then again, you're a DUmmie, so I reckon not.

I was up very late last night (this morning?) and saw that message. I didn't post anything because I didn't want to encourage whoever it was.

I do have proper manners. I was raised in the south. Duh.
Actually, many have asked me to stay. I know a few would like me to go, but the others (the nice people) asked me to stay, so I think I will. And I guess if it makes you mad, so be it. However, I don't understand it.

Well I missed it of course! And now it is gone, but I do appreciate the mods for acting on it. I figured it was almost common knowledge by now anyway. I told TVDOC, and then I told one other person. One person PMd me and already knew who I was, so I guess I am no mystery.

You are welcome here as far as I'm concerned....just don't get me started on DADT...kay? :-)

Well I just didn't know. I still don't know who it was, and I don't care. They may have been the one who outed me, or it could've been numerous people. After some of the personal info I have posted here, anyone who kind of knew me at DU would have figured it out.

lol I am obviously going to have different views here than many people. That has already been proven. But I didn't come here to disrupt, and I know I am changing no minds. I have been kind to everyone except those that have been very rude to me. I do have to defend myself. But it is interesting to see others point of view. I am not closed-minded. I am open to listening to all views, I just may not agree with them. :)

Here's an idea: Why don't you post this vanity shit in the Lounge or GD where it belongs? You might find more of your nice supporters there.

Not looking for supporters.
Vanity? hmm. ok, not sure why you think that but whatever. I was informed that I was called out last night, and I am addressing it. You don't have to post in this thread if you don't like it.

I have seen posts from Soleil at DU, and she's actually one I thought responded with good answers to whatever some of the idiots said over there. She was pretty open when she first came onboard about the topics she recently posted, and it didn't take much to figure out who she was. She also announced that she left DU, and I happened to see that thread in the DU lounge.
It seems conceivable to me that certain people at DU only visit safe topics, look for likeminded people, and learn early on to ignore threads with people who they don't agree with. I bet there are CC members who never read the dumpster section, just as there are sections on this board that I've never been to before.
Soleil, I'm relatively new here on CC, but from what I know of the members, no one here would stalk you on FB.

A couple of people went to bat for you. I would've said something, but I didn't see the need in giving that person attention :).

Well, you keep crowing about how many people here respect you and want you to stay, then you act like a wounded duck when anyone crosses you, so you might be more comfortable in a forum not specifically designed for insulting moonbats.
A vanity thread is one where the subject is the writer him- or herself.
This is The DUmpster, where moonbats and their lunacy get unloaded on. Specifically, it's for documenting and dissecting threads from DU and other batshit crazy Leftist sites. I'm not a Mod or anything but I find it strange you come in here and expect sweetness-and-light.

You can talk down to me all you like. Again, ignore this thread if you don't like it. I am from DU this is the DUmpster. I was called out, and I am responding. I am sorry it bothers you. That says more about you than me. Ignore. Easy to do. Trust me.

I saw the post on my way out to work, and left a short, annoyed response to the hit-and-run poster who did the outing. I'm glad to see it is gone.
I was also afraid that a primitive would eventually put two & two together, since you did post some fairly specific personal details that an angry dumpmonkey could plug into DU's search function. The one and only post from the OP was something like "Soleil isn't hardened enough to post in this forum" - they posted your DU name in the title of the thread.
Aside:
Note to those who Mole DU - if you get a donor star, don't use it to hammer search for material to post here. You'll get nailed for it. Properly using Google's Advanced Search feature works just as well and is untraceable.

Now that is a top 3 question

You are welcome Soleil.

I've already been accused of being vain!!! :bawl:
No, I am not hawt. I am beyond hot. lol. I kid. I kid.

You're not getting it, but then I should have remembered from whence you came.
Thick as a brick.

'Hardened' - I'm not an idiot but I don't even know what that is supposed to mean..
Not Hard Right enough ?
Hard Hearted ?
Ripped on Steroids with Buns Of Steel ?
Well, WhatEv I guess.. :popcorn:

Sure, yeah, ok. Take a look in the mirror gal.
If you hate it SO bad, why do you still post in this thread? Can't help it can you?

I'm not a gal, and there's nothing in this thread I hate. I find your ignorance and/or willful obtuseness fascinating and delight in pointing it out to you.
Where is this "call out" you claim? Where is it and by whom? No, the DUmpster is not a forum for DUmmies to answer call outs from other DUmmies. My other point is, you can't come in this particular forum wearing your "DU colors"...
I am from DU this is the DUmpster.
...and then whine about all the big meanies here.
Then you wrote this ignorant comment:
I've already been accused of being vain!!!
after I explained to you what a vanity post is.
You amuse me.

Well good then. Have fun with your amusement. And while you are at it, get off your self-righteous high horse. You look terrible on it.

My opinion,worth not much as it goes really...
In the past we has Miss Mia posting here,even served as a mod yet she has a DUmp persona.
I know what it is and will never reveal it so don`t ask.
Her posts there did and do reflect that she isn`t a crazy person as far as I am concerned and do respect her.
So now we have another person from the DUmp take up a membership claiming that they don`t like a lot of what goes on there.
Each is free to make their own judgments of things and I will be honest and open to say I am a bit cynical still.
The reason Soleil is that whenever something ugly or controversial is presented to you regarding postings at the DU you claim to not know about them or the person yet when it is mocking some of the inanity you are familiar with the posters in question.
Maybe you just don`t want to address that ugly part,or maybe other reasons.
Anyways,I also respect the positions taken by some here and as a person that wanders the island from time to time it does become difficult to not be repulsed by those who willingly fall in with that ilk.
However I guess it needs to come down to a this or that policy here at CC where one is welcome to be here and debate or discuss civilly political disagreements keeping mind they may have disruptive motives or if they are to be scorned regardless of demeanor.
It matters not to me much but would rather have a situation where someone that has been a lifelong democrat simply because their parents were can have a chance to think about and observe an intelligent discussion of the other side.
I wish all were to see what a bunch of demented and idiotic fools the top tier at the DUmp are and what they wish for this country.
We cannot be harmed by that.

For the record there was a thread posted early this morning by someone that revealed this persons DUmp name in an obvious attempt to get them banned.
Maybe some here would enjoy that but again citing Miss Mia my opinion is that isn`t a good thing.
The thread was deleted.

Now that my identity is out in the open, anyone who has a "mole" can go search my posts. I think you'll see that I wasn't lying. I am willing to listen to people here, and hear your side. I think that says something. Maybe not.

WTF is a vanity thread doin in the DUmp?

Interesting enough, someone FB stalked me and sent me a friend request telling me they knew who I was, and how dare I dis their DU friends.

I really don't know what the last sentence means. But I will say that I have read some around here, and know you've been in a bad car accident. I hope you are recovering. I wish you a full, speedy recovery.
I remember your name well because my baby calls my mom Ree. So, not to sound stalkerish, but your name stood out to me while reading around.

To be fair, it didn't start off that way - in the wee hours of the morning, a Primitive dropped a dime on Soleil's identity as a drive by posting. That thread had since been deleted. Soleil started this thread to respond to the drive-by poster from DU (we can only assume) here in the DUmpster where it would be noticed by the Dumpmonkey, but it has since spun out of control.

Waah I missed the post, I wanna know who you are. :p I don't go over to the DUmp much so I wouldn't be able to guess who you are by the things you have said here.

We have had former DUers before, some have played nice, others not so much.
Even though Soleil has ruffled some feathers by simply being here, I have no problem with her dishing on her former cellmates. I have read several of her posts. She is one of the few reasonable folks trapped in that asylum*. Maybe She will stick around, maybe not - but I do not feel she is here to disrupt.
*This doesn't mean we will agree with her on many issues involving politics, however civil debate is good.

Oh yeah I have. Probably will regret it I am sure! lol!!

LOL. My picture has been posted all over this board so I could regret it just as much as you.
Not to change the subject but I'm watching a show on TLC right now where this girl is addicted to eating chalk. You don't eat chalk do you? :p
-

No, I don't, but I will watch out now for my baby girl. She loves to eat anything. Of course she is at that age where anything goes in your mouth, but now she always says "yummmmmm" after eating it even if it is dirt. I have yet to buy her sidewalk chalk because I am quite sure she will eat it instead of draw with it. :P
-
Oh yeah I have. Probably will regret it I am sure! lol!!
MMMMmmm Yeah... :-)
But its not all bad news - There were threads - mostly at CU, before the Ronulan Invasion - where you were often considered among the Hottest at DU.. :popcorn:

Speaking of olives, we went to the Olive Garden this evening. I had a thought over breadsticks. I thought to myself, I said, "Self" - I call myself self when I'm thinking to myself - "Self, wouldn't Olive Oyl and Popeye be perfect cartoon spokespeople for Olive Garden? Ya'know, they could be in Olive's garden" I didn't answer myself, though.

Do you get diarreha when you eat at Olive Garden? I think it's the bread sticks. :p
-

I am on my phone, I always make typos when I'm on my phone. I meant "yeah, you ARE ok looking". :thatsright:
By the way, eating chalk is called "chalking". What your baby is into is probably called "dirting". :-)

That's why I get the eggplant. It's the antidote.

Speaking of gardens, my dear old grandpappy used to grow his tomato bushes inside a cage of rusty fence wire for support. He claimed the rust caused the tomatoes to have a better flavor. Anyone ever hear of that? Sounds like an old wive's tale to me.

You know, they make baits and traps for ants, roaches, flies and stuff, but they don't make anything for spiders. You see a spider ambulating across the floor, you have to be fast enough or stealthy enough to swat that sucker or you're just S.O.L. They make sprays but you pretty much have to spray it directly on them so you're left with the same problem of running them down or sneaking up on them. That's no small feat with the rapid transit motherhumpers we have down here. They are some high-speed low-drag arachnids. I get an exterior treatment from the pest control people every three months, spraying under the eaves and around doors and windows and such, but I think that just runs them inside the house.
Why don't they make a Spider Motel like they do Roach Motel? I hate freaking spiders. All sizes, all types. I think it came from the time I was, like, four years old. I remember it well. I was playing outside in the yard. I raised up my arm, and on my forearm was this gigantic wolf spider. All I could do is stare at that sucker and scream. My legs finally remembered the mechanics of how to run, but unfortunately, I couldn't take my eyes off the alien life form on my arm and ran full tilt boogie into an oak tree, nearly knocking myself out. When I came to my senses, the spider was gone. Probably crawled off unfazed into a pile of leaves. I've never been able to abide them after that.
-
Ya know, I didn't really follow CU that much even though I made a few posts there. I have been to DU and surprisingly enough there are some folks there that have shocked me (in a positive way) with their attitudes towards the 2nd Amendment. Of course, I still can't fathom Liberals, how they got that way and what gives them the right to play "Robin Hood".
While I don't agree with the majority of the folks at DU, if they can take the heat here, abide by the rules, then they're welcome here as far as I'm concerned.
-
They say we are never more than 2 feet away from a spider.
-
We have these HUGE wood spiders around here.
F'ers can even swim!
I HATE spiders.
-
They say we are never more than 2 feet away from a spider.
Ah, yes. That 11 member panel of international know-it-alls known as They. They say THEY it's an acronym but I don't think They have said what it stands for. Maybe They will later.
-
They say we are never more than 2 feet away from a spider.
I wonder some times how many insects I have eaten in my lifetime. I'll bet it's measured in tens of pounds, at least. I'm not just talking about the insect parts in packaged, processed food, a certain number of which are allowed by law along with rodent hairs and various excrements. But also those which have sought refuge in my mouth while sleeping. I mean, I can't remember any specifically, but odds are some have managed to get in there, and that's not even counting the dust mites that supposedly inhabit everyones mattresses and pillows. We're breathing them in all the time.

whenever i get a packet of m&ms, i make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species.
to this end, i hold m&m duels.
taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, i apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. that is the "loser," and i eat the inferior one immediately. the winner gets to go another round. i have found that, in general, the brown and red m&ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. i have hypothesized that the blue m&ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. occasionally i will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. in this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.
when i reach the end of the pack, i am left with one m&m, the strongest of the herd. since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, i pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to m&m mars, a division of mars, inc., along with a 3x5 card reading, "please use this m&m for breeding purposes." this week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of m&ms. i consider this "grant money." i have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. from a field of hundreds, we will discover the true champion.

I bought a bag of Hershey's Kisses at Wal*Mart once that had this coconut creme filling in the Kisses. I have never seen that permutation before or since, though I have searched for it.
I believe that bag of Kisses was a one-off. Someone at the factory decided to experiment or just on a lark made this one bag of such candy. I was the one lucky enough to find it, but I'll never know that pleasure again.
Life can be so rewarding and cruel at once..

Are you related to Vesta by any chance?

You know, they make baits and traps for ants, roaches, flies and stuff, but they don't make anything for spiders. You see a spider ambulating across the floor, you have to be fast enough or stealthy enough to swat that sucker or you're just S.O.L. They make sprays but you pretty much have to spray it directly on them so you're left with the same problem of running them down or sneaking up on them. That's no small feat with the rapid transit motherhumpers we have down here. They are some high-speed low-drag arachnids. I get an exterior treatment from the pest control people every three months, spraying under the eaves and around doors and windows and such, but I think that just runs them inside the house.
Why don't they make a Spider Motel like they do Roach Motel? I hate freaking spiders. All sizes, all types. I think it came from the time I was, like, four years old. I remember it well. I was playing outside in the yard. I raised up my arm, and on my forearm was this gigantic wolf spider. All I could do is stare at that sucker and scream. My legs finally remembered the mechanics of how to run, but unfortunately, I couldn't take my eyes off the alien life form on my arm and ran full tilt boogie into an oak tree, nearly knocking myself out. When I came to my senses, the spider was gone. Probably crawled off unfazed into a pile of leaves. I've never been able to abide them after that.
We have a lot of black widows around the outside of our house. Big fat juicy ones. :o

We have these HUGE wood spiders around here.
F'ers can even swim!
I HATE spiders.
I get bit while out picking berries every single year. Leg swells up like crazy. It's gotten so that every spider scares me. Thus, it's my job to run screaming from the room and my husband's job to remove it WITHOUT killing it...just want it to leave my house.

My dad used to live in the grape vineyards in Sonoma County. We'd walk out the door and see tarantulas and scorpions all the time. Tarantulas were kinda cool but the scorpions HURT.

This thread is looking mighty loungy. Off to the Lounge with ye.

I used to watch Mad Theater and Horror Theater on Sat. afternoons as a kid -- same guy in death makeup hosted them both -- and inevitably a giant spider movie would be shown. You know -- the one where the giant spider would suck all the blood out of whatever screaming person was unlucky enough to be around until they looked like a dried up old husk. Used to scare the crap out of me! :o :o

Oh yeah, and in the evening, Twilight Zone and Night Fright. EEEECK!

And yet, the same spider movie was used in one of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 riffs and it was funny as hell! I miss Joel Hodgsen and the 'bots -- anybody else here an MST3K fan??

I am. I miss it. It was just so funny.

How about mixing spider DNA with goats?

I've been buying the DVDs and have my son hooked on it! I think we're up to collection XIII or XIV. I know both groups have their own things going now -- Joel Hodgsen has Cinematic Titanic and Mike Nelson has Rifftrax but I haven't seen anything from either group.

I am a fan as well. One of my faves was Jack Frost.

I do not think we are related, however this is one person I would love to pull up a chair at my table. I will be glad to cook for them, Taco Bell take out and a bottle of beer.
About MST, perhaps the only TV program I would drop everything to watch.

Not TS'd so far anyway. I don't post there anymore.

After finding you here, and they will, don't be surprised if they TS you in absentia. Our guests on line members are always double digit.

Bab-5 man, eh?
Best SF show. Ever.
My single favorite scene in all of Bab-5. Of course there are so many great ones, but this one, to me, epitomizes the best of Bab-5 (and hell, it's Jurassik and Katsulas, the best of all of them).
