Have You Ever Noticed How Many Questions of Late Can Be Answered by Two Simple Words, “Good Grief”?
by Paul Gladis
Question by Michelle Joseph as Proserpine: Have you ever noticed how many questions of late can be answered by two simple words, “Good Grief”?
Gotta get back to my homework, but just had the thought as I was searching for a good question.

No, school is still in, but the University courses require a lot of homework here in the USA.
I get lonely sometimes and find this a “safe” way to take the loneliness away.
The question was not meant to be mean…… I just noticed and thought ,”Why not ask if others have also noticed.”

Good point, never thought of recovering from “the night before” as a reason.
It was a half serious question, though.
Just seemed a little odd I would notice it today,
nothing of great value on my part I suppose.

As you can tell, it is becoming one of those morning…….
Every time I pushed submit, I got “not available” and posted Bolide’s edit,
But to the edit at hand, yours.
Very cute and well done.
But, content, is for me a very serious issue with the current problems unfolding with Yahoo.
They may break Yahoo up and sell her off in bits and pieces……
And I am not aware of a platform of this nature anywhere.
And if you bother to look at my posts, I do answer questions most often where a simple, “Good Grief” would work as you so cleverly have shown.
And enjoy them most I think.
But for some reason this morning seemed a little odd…..??

Edit for:
Hot chick…..
That is how I felt. The questions just seem to be such that a simple “Good grief” would suffice……. and found it amusing……
in a good way.

Have noticed…… wonder sometimes if they do not have a “vault of questions” and they open the door and recycle the deposits to us regularly.
“Best of the worst” very good…. and the Korean war question is scary, because it could be real.
And if the POE thing, the inside joke or winking, is more of an issue than I realize.
It is a shame because there is a value here that many seem to be missing.
One of them is the opportunity to very quickly learn how to write essays, which I have openly confessed was one of the reasons for being here.
And now that circumstances have forced me to go back to school, I am so thankful for having taken full advantage of the forum.
Though still weak in written English, I can tell it has greatly help.

The character Charlie Brown was Always saying it. He was a product of the comic strip “Peanuts”
The links should help.
It could also be an euphemism for “OH Good God….”
It just seemed a little odd this morning, because it is rare that I would noticed the “overall” value of the questions.
((Big hug…. Hi.))

Panther:….
Your sentiment is mine.
The reporting system is a living nightmare for me….
I am a paranoid **************** and can function well in between episodes, but the fear of being hunted just drives me nuts.
I hurt very easy and to have people openly assault me sexually is really really hard to accept….
and does create for me problems.
I do not report them nor block, but it does make it very hard to want to expose myself.
It is the reason, in part I choose to ‘walk” with Kathleen and Earl……
they and their friends for the most part have been very kind.
But, I am thinking of a series of questions on Eschatology but maybe after I get more settled.
The University study and homework is an absolute must, without a lot of effort I can not keep up.
And if I fail, my last hope of succeeding as an artist will collapse.

School must be out in the USA.
EDIT I was not referring to you. I was referring to the barrage of juvenile nonsense from certain others.
