Do we need a "Happy Place" section on FF?

It seems like , I log in here and all I see anymore is someone pissed about something . Usally, a member has stated his feeling and is getting crapped on by the the far right group or the smaller far left group , Nobody has the right to believe the way they feel anymore . ITs just unAmerican to be respectful ,I guess !

It is no longer just reserved for the debate discussion area .

Politic's , Religion , the War, Gun Control , offending our foreign members for their beliefs , it don't matter .

Is anyone on here ever happy ? I really wonder anymore.

Prove it ! Try to write something nice .....

I do believe we need a happy place section where a member can write something good that has happened and where people like me can read it and say

"Great news"that makes me happy"!

You know guys, happiness is where you find it.I think a lot of you are looking at everything with the cup half empty instead of half full .

Let me ask you a simple question : Where or what would you do if everybody just got so pissed off that they just don't come to FF anymore ?

Kinda a big slap in the face to the great guy "Doc" who started this website.

Most of you don't even know how this website started .

I was told it was someplace to come and talk mainly tractors and other lessor events and be respected for your beliefs . It has revolved and expanded from there .

Bob S., one of the first to join, invited me to come over from that other tractor web site .

We lost some damn good members who finally just walked away over the years .They just got tired of the constant crap and bitching as new members came on . I was one of them for awhile .
Does that mean we need to stop taking in new members? No , but could some of you just try to be a little more respectful to your fellow members? Remember nobody died and made you God here . We all have opinions on here that matter to us or we would not put them in print ,knowing that we would be slapped down every time it did not agree with you .

I am going to my "happy place":flowers: now .........

I like having a "Happy Place", Al!
A little over a week ago, my wife's co worker (who we sorta adopted because she comes over here and eats our food) Told us her step dad was being life flighted to a larger hospital because he was having problems with breathing and his heart wanted to stop.
Seems he contracted N1H1, Influenza A, and the resulting pneumonia. It didn't look good at all for him. He's been hanging in there for a week now. His kidneys started shutting down last Sunday and his blood sugar rocketed! I got a text from "Our Little Squirt" telling us that they've removed the feeding tube as of today, but he's still on oxygen and is still classed as critical. However, he IS on the mend!
Our weather improved greatly this week too! :clap:
Life is good!!!!

I always thought that JUNKMAN'S CORNER was our "happy place" for all sorts of fun discussions.

I am happy. Three days in a row we now have had sunshine. What a wonderful site to drive in the country and see all the combines going. No dust though that makes it even kewler but the weather is great.

Business what I thought would come to a screeching halt the end of October looks now like we may have work until the end of December.

And as bad as the economy is for some I have my health right now, a wife, and three great kids. Oh yeah and a dog named Annie.

Agree!

Did you see my My New Friend thread? There's a big bright beautiful amazing world out there waiting to be shared.

Well our one ball stallion is showing signs of growing another ball so maybe we won't have to eat him after all. The bad news is we're watching close to get him CASTRATED as soon as possible.

While, by definition, I see people having some of their worst days when I am at work, we saw a woman yesterday who, it turns out, was having an inner ear problem making her dizzy and nauseous. I have never seen someone puke and smile at the same time! She was very pleasant and funny while feeling so sick. So nice not to have to deal with misery and crabbiness!

Al, I couldn't have said it better myself. I tend to stay away from the debate and discussion section as I come here for a good time to unwind. And for me to bother going to that section of the forum to watch people bitch and moan about the current president just doesn't do it for me. And notice I said current president. Because before Obama, there was an awfull lot of Bush-bashing on here to with the general attitude that he's the worst that's ever been....until Obama came into office. But I'm not here to talk politics. Just to get my point across. The open forum lately has basically become the Political Debate & Discussion - Part 2 section of the forum.

And since, as Al put it
Usally, a member has stated his feeling and is getting crapped on by the the far right group or the smaller far left group , Nobody has the right to believe the way they feel anymore . ITs just unAmerican to be respectful ,I guess !
this type of thing continues to happen, people like myself, Deadong, and other foreign members are not entitled to have an opinion that goes against anything American, slowly but surely, we'll all just fade away and keep our opinions to ourselves.

Case in point!!!

Another case in point!!!

If everyone would just keep the political Anti-Obama BS in the Debate & Discussion area, then I think things would go allot better around here.

Good post BigAl , I know I,m new here , But I,ve enjoyed looking around , But some posts are allmost depressing reading . Yep I got opinions too , But I like to keep them to myself so I dont upset the apple cart Ya might say .

All I know is their seems to be a bunch of great folks here , As long as people agree to disagree its all good in My book . I,m about as happy as They come if the Wife & I wake up everyday , even if not the best of health sometimes .

Just seems some folks dont appreciate what We do have & dwell on the negative things . Just My thoughts . Just FYI , I type & spell the best I can . I,ve got some really bad typing habits I get pointed out all the time . So I,ll appolagise in advance . I hope everyone has a great weekend . Bob

An all happy place would be great. I get bored easy though, and happy gets boring pretty quick so I probably not spend a whole lot of time there.

Well I did not know that and "Junkmans Corner" was gone for quite a while so we had no happy place .

Well ....looks like there are others that feel like I do . I am glad its just not me that was wondering what the hell was happening to FF .

The locker room is pretty happy.

Thats true ,but not when Sushi post those "God awful" pictures of his latest love addiction :sad:. It should'nt have to be "R" or "X" rated to be a happy place .:wink:

Good idea Al.
Junkmans corner is a fun place, but not the happy place you described in your first post.

I think we can stand another forum. I for one do tire of the debate forum at times, but I can't help but read it ...a happy place post could help.
I'm willing to give it a try. I'll create a happy place forum later tonight or in the morning and this thread will be moved there to be the first post in that forum.

OK DOC!!!! Thanks ! I got hundreds of "happy stories" and most are dumb things I have done to myself these past 56 years . I gotta go find some of my old FF "Happy" post to transfer and to make fun of that I have written through the years !!!

I've heard that if you feed an Austrailian dog some vegemite, he will immediately lick his a** to get rid of the taste!
I.....do NOT care to know what Vin does.......:unsure:
