There should be a warnIng label.

I was just joking when I said that. When I first joined i should have gotten the drift with the name, Mock, duhhh....And you guys have it all written out clearly...i just neglected to read it and just jumped right in....i felt like the new little fat kid in recess that wanted to play with the cool kids on the merry-go-round but kept getting pushed off by a couple of the bigger kids. But i was going to keep jumping on until i could squeeze in and find a little place. Cause shit, it was the fastest, shiniest, most exciting ride on the playground....

I have to admit i was taken aback initially with some of the insults i received and I'm older, a business person, allegedly mentally sane (although that would be greatly disputed by my children, husband and friends)...i digress....There were a couple of times at first i had to grab myself and say, "for {#%+] sake, you are a grown woman, are you going to allow this virtual stranger on the Internet to rob yourself of a moments joy? Get back up on that damn ride before I kick your ass".

As funny as that seems now, I think we need to be sensitive to new members who might be depressed/off balance or just plain bat shit crazy who might go blow their heads off instead of those coming from a healthy perspective and seeing Mock for what it truly is. A really cool place to come and laugh ...I can grab a glass of wine, sit down after a stressful day at work and just laugh out loud at the things you guys come up with to say to each other...Some of you guys could write for Saturday Night Live...

I also love the intellectual conversations about current issues from all different sides....very stimulating ....yet I can drink my wine and be in my pajamas...also helps me from jumping off a bridge of boredom when my husband is watching some dumb ass show like the one last night about people grabbing cat fish with their hands. Shoot me.

And the icing on the cake for me is the true crime component. And we have a real police officer who can give us her perspective along with the sexy yet classy Duchess to navigate...I'm in heaven with my teeny little spot on the merry-go-round....no warning label needed...
