Funny, Scarlett!

LoveItaly Feb 26th, 2006 06:57 AM

Oh thanks soooooo much Scarlett, I just about spit my coffee all over my screen!! =-o Now you tell your Yankee I could make a list of people I would like to share that site with, LOL.

Yeah, nice troll, red_dog. You obviously have no clue what a "ghetto" is if you think the east side of Portland is one!!!

I agree wholeheartedly with Red Dog that Seattle is truly a fantastic city, that's why I live here.

But I don't see the need of insulting our neighbors to the south to make your point. Plus I'm not sure who you are arguing against. I have never heard anyone say Portland was "better" than Seattle. Two entirely different places.



suze Feb 26th, 2006 08:35 AM

You are considering moving to Duluth, Minnesota(!) and you're complaining about Portland - now WHAT'S that about?

LoveItaly Feb 26th, 2006 11:04 AM

suze, isn't that funny...guess Seattle isn't all red_dog thought it was :-D

Orcas Feb 26th, 2006 12:05 PM

Love that website, Scarlett!

gomiki Feb 26th, 2006 12:26 PM

Oh Scarlett...I'm with LoveItaly! I jumped and had I been holding coffee (or anything else) it would have been all over! And then I started laughing! Thank you!

LoveItaly Feb 26th, 2006 12:42 PM

Hi gomiki, the funny thing was one of my grandson's had been on my laptop the other day and unbeknownst to me he had turned the sound up. So there I was, sipping my coffee, clicked on the website and heart attack time, LOL. Sure woke me up for the day!!

gomiki Feb 26th, 2006 12:54 PM

LoveItaly, poor thing...even worse! Heart attack time lol.

red_dog Feb 26th, 2006 02:21 PM

Ok, are you all done acting like 5 year olds?

Yes, Seattle is freakin awesome, but that doesn't mean I am going to live in the PNW my whole life.

I might want to live different places and experiences different areas of the country. I have already lived in the SE and NE United States, but I have never lived in the Midwest.

Just because someone moves from an area doesn't mean that area is bad. Sometimes people get bored with the same ole...same ole.

Anyways, flame away all you want. That's not gonna change my opinion on Portland being a dump compared to Seattle.

Scarlett Feb 26th, 2006 02:28 PM

red dog, why should we stop acting like you? or are you not 5 years old yet?

when you grow up and know how to talk to people, then we will too. Personally, I enjoy being 5.

red_dog Feb 26th, 2006 02:33 PM

Scarlett, that was a lame comeback. Can't you do better?

Scarlett Feb 26th, 2006 02:43 PM

No, what more do you expect from a 5 year old?


LoveItaly Feb 26th, 2006 02:49 PM

Oh for heaven sakes red_dog. You are now interested in moving to the midwest because you have been in Seattle long enough. Great..some people love to move around the country or the world from time to time.

But why may I ask, since you are thinking of possibly moving to the midwest did you feel the need to start your thread

Orcas Feb 26th, 2006 02:53 PM

Let's just all admit it. Red_dog did start a thread that is fun to work with. Okay, red_dog. I'll bite. How long have you lived in Seattle? Are you really just planning on moving for the sake of moving? Are you moving for work? Are you related to someone named Bunchargum?

LoveItaly Feb 26th, 2006 02:54 PM

as I was saying before Fodor's rudely interrupted me LOL, why did you feel the need to bash Portland OR? What was your point pray tell?

You love Seattle, that is great, a lot of us do. You don't like Portland, OK, some people don't. But what was your intent regarding your thread? Please explain? I don't think I saw any post where anyone was "shoving Portland down your throat" You just come across as a troll looking to stir things ups and perhaps being a bit bored with your life?

Good wishes to you wherever you decided to move to. Hopefully you will even move onto another website that will appreciate you more then most do here.

LoveItaly Feb 26th, 2006 02:55 PM

Ah Orcas, good question!!!

AustinTraveler Feb 26th, 2006 03:03 PM

It's definitely been a week for trolls. First there was Iwannabeatexan, then mireaux7 (same troll as wannabe), and now red_dog. Who knows, maybe all three are the same troll.
