awww nuts, I didn't mean for you to feel sorry for me. I still have a roof over my head and not one but two indoor flushing toilets! (after 10 years of making like a bear I still get a thrill out of a proper flush toilet)

I was just trying to point out there are are bigger issues in life than who voted on a photo.

OH still has his finger at this stage, but he can't pick his nose with it. He has to wait another few weeks to get the wires taken out. Then decide whether it's going to work properly or will be better taken off.

I was not trying to use my situation to have a go at anyone. I do wish  the post hadn't been made in the thread though, Instead, maybe the affected person message me, and I could have judged (as I have done) if I thought the outcome was influenced by the shananigans.

Really people, is it so hard to judge the photos on their merits rather than the poster? 

Pimpy thinking of you and your hubby, hope things improve for you soon.

Your photo thread is great, everyone showing lovely photos for the current subject.

(((pimpy))) I hope things improve for you and your OH soon.

AS for the rest, fingers in ears LA LA LA

I for one thank you, it was a welcome diversion and distraction for me too.

Hoping things can continue as they were, a thread to be enjoyed by ALL CS'ers

Why cant one thread, just one thread be left alone and enjoyed.

I think the best thing is to ignore the horrible posts, just scroll past them, and enjoy the thread.

It has been the best thread in my eyes in ever!!!!  And I'd hate to see it go away cause of a couple of bad apples.

Lets ignore and move on.

Now I have to take some pics 

Hope things pick up for you soon, Pimpy. Life can be a real you-know-what at times. 

Please don't give up on the thread. - having just learnt how to post  from photobucket,  I've finally posted my first photo, and it was such fun I'd love to kep going.
