    Nope, only harmless ones on Answerbag. Bacon, loonies and bananas.

    I remember that. Someone would get fixated on something and others just joined in. I never did. People changed their monikers for god's sake to reflect whatever was in vogue. Not me. I don't do that. I'm not a joiner or a copier or a bandwaggoner. I never got the point except it was something silly something thought up and others followed suit. If it was a joke I never got the punchline. I'm not  a follower so of course I didn't think much of it. I knew it would peter out and someone else would think up something else and some folks would join in again and another merry-go-round hamster in a cage would be born. AARRGGHH! Sigh. On the other hand I was a Jet Packer. I was an HONORARY member. I remember my AB pal "Mental Mum" invited me to join. When I told her of my fear of heights she said I could be an Honorary Member. Don't know if you recall but Jetpackers flew all over the world to help people in need. I have a fear of heights so I was grounded but I always made cocoa from scratch and baked cookies for the Jetpackers before their flights and had cocoa and cookies ready when they returned. I was and used to be RosieGHM Jetpacker. RosieG Honorary Member Jetpacker. Those were the days. The last Jetpacker besides me was Ed. I don't know why they left or where they are but in my heart I will always be ROSIEGHM Jetpacker. I do miss Answerbag and always will because of the folks who were there who aren't here for whatever reason. Good memories. Thank you for your reply Sbf and Happy Thursday! :) This post was edited by RosieG at November 29, 2018 4:01 AM MST
