Which Way is Up?
« on: July 09, 2003, 12:43:43 AM »
Uh...truly, now, EVERYTHING is bass ackwards :o

Um...is my karma bad(er), good(er) or about the same.

IMHO (and I don't think it's just my opinion), seems like most people are staying 'bout the same...probably, because like me, people don't feel right cursing someone/some post they like...because that's bass ackwards!!!

Patti

PS...is bad(er) good (this week only???) I don't even understand the question....

The present changes in the way Karma operates are permanent. In fact, if you notice that any changes made this week last for more than a few days, you can probably assume that they're here to stay. We've been contemplating making several changes for a while now, so rather than throw them at everyone all at once on the same day I decided to make a whole week's event out of it - and to also throw in some foolishness just for fun.

Okay MB...I just cursed you (I've never done that EVER before...except by accident to  :-*Birdie :-*).
AND FOR THE RECORD  EHEMM...MY KARMA DID NOT CHANGE WHATSOEVER ::).

Was it bad (as in you're hurt or I'm mean) that I cursed you, or was it good/you are pleased??

This is permanent??? (I was sort of hoping/infering from a mod's post, that if no one really utilized curing/cursing...it might just 'disappear'.)

Oh my ... who's on first?   [confused5] [goofy] [lghg]

I guess listing most recent post first is not permanent?

And now being cursed is a good thing?  We don't want to be cured?

And it's only Tuesday!  :o ;D

Eleanor...if I'm reading it right...I don't think you can cure or curse right now...I think your curses have to be 50 higher than your cures.

So honey...to be ??nice??, I'll curse you??

Patti

IS THIS RIGHT??

As I mentioned in the Which Witch sWitch Week Topic over on CE/A '03:

If something/someone appeals to you, reward it/him/her with a curse. However, if you don't like Karma and would like to see it gone, then you might want to do the opposite. ;)

Stay away for a few days and oh, my. Everything goes topsy-turvy  8)

See, it's summer time. Traditionally, a period when mind candy is de rigeur. Here I am finally watching things like Attack of the Clones and House Hunters (If you were living at home with your parents, empty spaces would appeal to you too) and reading crap and now you're trying to make me think  :'(

This is so not fair  ;)

BTW, love the new "Iron Bastard" and "Iron Bitch" monikers . . .
