Social Chatting #6

What's wrong with hugs Margaret?
Jedidiah Diligence Breckinridge III
It means there is a fine line between correcting people and being annoying. (And I'm not just saying that because Margaret's my sister. There are several people on here who like to keep a joking or sarcastic tone to the conversation. Not to mention grammar-freaks.)
Jedidiah Diligence Breckinridge III
(I believe she was talking to me. There are a lot of Sarahs. :) )
Margaret Eddy
Too close. I have a personal bubble that has a roughly five foot radius.
Hugs violate that.
Ian R.2
You must have a hard time socializing with people then.
Sarah B.
I know I was thinking last night about how its so hard to know when someone is joking our not. Just about every post is a joke of some kind.

It's true that she's an introvert. But really, she's becoming more and more sarcastic, because you keep reacting. I'm just sayin' I've had a lot of experience with sarcasm. I don't mind it (even employ it myself occasionally) but if it seriously bothers you the only thing to do is ignore it. Trying to correct people over the internet is really tricky.

noah
lots of the others are sarcastic sometimes, just not as much
Sarah B.

So true!
biblebee
Okay, Sarah e
Ian R.2
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Sarah B.
Carissa, you NEED to get a computer.
Margaret Eddy
Yes. He already made a heroic attempt, but failed miserably.
Jedidiah Diligence Breckinridge III
And remember, kids, I'm not trying to throw cold water on the conversation, it's just that occasionally now that I'm 18 I feel all adultish and responsible suddenly, and feel like I have to keep you young 'uns from getting into too much trouble.
Margaret Eddy
Socializing is over-rated.
biblebee
Sarah b I know but I can't right now
biblebee
Margaret how so?
Ian R.2
Then what are you doing on Social Chatting #6?
Sarah B.
Bye.
Ian R.2
Bye Sarah!
biblebee
Bye Sarah b
Margaret Eddy
Exactly the same question I ask myself: "What am I doing on Social Chatting #6?"
I congratulate you Ian. You really hit the nail with your head.
Ian R.2
How old are you Margaret?
Jedidiah Diligence Breckinridge III
four and a half, she has been for 13 years.
Margaret Eddy
I'd prefer not to say. Once a lady gets to a certain age you are not supposed to ask that question.
Margaret Eddy
Work on your socialization and you will find that out.
biblebee
Margaret snickers and you've reached that age that doesn't exist??
Jedidiah Diligence Breckinridge III
Brilliant deduction, my dear Watson
Ian R.2
Work on your socialization and you will find that out.
Was this in reply to my "How old are you?" question?
biblebee
No you are not ian…. She's older than you.
Margaret Eddy
If he doesn't know my age he shouldn't ask that question, because I might have passed that age that doesn't exist.
biblebee
And how can you pass that age if it doesn't exist?
Margaret Eddy
I'd prefer not to say. Once a lady gets to a certain age you are not supposed to ask that question.
@Ian: it was a reply to this, which was a reply to that.
Margaret Eddy
You have also hit the nail with your head.
Ian R.2
How could I have known you had reached that age if I didn't know what your age was in the first place?
biblebee
facedesk
Margaret Eddy
You shouldn't have asked, just to be safe.
biblebee
Ian there is no age like that so it's fine that you asked her ;-)
Margaret Eddy
No, that was the desk not a nail.
Ian R.2
Thanks you, Carissa! :)
Rachel the Alaskan
Careful, Carissa! :)
Margaret Eddy
There is an age, it is just different for different people.
Ian R.2
Hey Rachel!
Jedidiah Diligence Breckinridge III
Alright…my brain is too full of BB stuff to continue deciphering this conversation. Therefore, you are all [mostly] on your own. Try not to let anything explode kiddos.
biblebee
Ian R.2
Well then, See ya Sarah E!
Rachel the Alaskan
Hi! For some reason it won't let me reply to anyone specifically; I'm using my dad's ipad.
Margaret Eddy
Ian was the only one in danger of exploding. The rest of us were just pouring gasoline on to help cool him down.
biblebee
Okay Sarah e
Hey rachel
