Quote: Are you kidding me? Do ALL OF THIS and still have time to take pictures? No, I didn't have time to take pictures. I barely had time to get dressed! My husband may have snapped a few by the bar, and I think our guests took some photos, but quite honestly, I was just happy to get it all prepared, get showered, and not spill anything while plating (although, I did have a minor fiasco with the water in one of my chafing dishes over flowing as the guests started to arrive). During the party, I barely had time to go to the bathroom!
Pictures? Forget THAT! And I'm not sorry about it either! : ) I see the defensive, but show me the rude, condescending and arrogant. And, if I just proudly wrote up an extensive message outlining my experiences and the first thing I get is not thanks, or nice write up, or sounds like a challenge, or even 'wow, what a production', but "where are the pictures" without a hint of a smile, I might be defensive as well. But more importantly it subtracts from the friendliness and content of the board. It is destructive, regardless of the 'facts'.

While I root for our new hero Ned, and his challenging of FIGJAM It is very difficult for a male to challenge a female without looking like a bully.
The irony lies in the fact that FIGJAM is very much a confirmed, dedicated bully, he needs to change "his" name to Nelda.

I must say I side with MJ on this - I never take pictures of my party or even the table before the guests arrive, because I am usually tending to those last minute details. And I certainly don't want to take pictures of the gory aftermath, either. I agree, but then again I do not have a FIGJAM mentality...if I did...and went on & on for a month exclaming FIGJAM loudly I strongly suspect that I would also be the type that would take pictures to proclaim to my superiorty in the form of photos to the peasants flocking to my feet that wanted to be just like me. Now to make this food related..."Just food for thought."

Darcie, mayhap she has never been on your case but I can assure you FIGJAM can be one very cruel & snarky gal. Can put you down a peg or two.

Fitzie Oh, I agree. She is the main reason I don't post much to TOBB. I just am siding with her on this one point. Perhaps you missed my backhanded compliment about her 10,000+ posts?

I think saying things like 'do ALL OF THIS...' and 'Forget THAT! And I'm not sorry about it either!' could be construed as rude, no matter if there is a smiley face after. And to your point about the friendliness of the board - I've seen her post a LOT of mean comments to others, especially newcomers. This example is not that offensive but I've seen plenty that are. I don't want to get snarky about it (OK, I really enjoy being snarky but have resolved to be nicer), but she has singlehandedly ruined that board for me. This is not to excuse NedKelley, who is being rude as well. I think his antagonism may be a "straw that broke the camel's back" response.

I think we're wandering back into snarkiness... Just an observation...

All,
I have now renamed this thread "Grumbles about TOBB", since that's what it certainly seems to be. Enjoy your grumbling!
