'Cause these are the rules for us

Oh the fun you shall have!

Congratulations!
Today is your day!
You’re now on Free Jinger,
You’re off and away!

You have brains in your head.
To articulate well thought out views.
You can steer yourself in
any direction you choose.
To the Pray Closet, banned, or Journey to the Heart
It’s your fault really, if you are not very smart

The rules are quite simple, so read them with care.
Make sure you don’t break them, to stay welcome here.
Read them and learn them, make sure to adhere
And ask clarification if you think they’re unclear.

FJ is forever
Make sure you take note
No deletion for you
If you end up a turncoat

If you’re a lightweight
FJ may not be your soulmate

A username is constant,
Don’t make a sock
Or else someone will have to
hit IP block

An avatar you are free to have
But not one that moves,
NSFW or spews hate
Those are removed

OH!
THE FUN YOU SHALL HAVE!
[AND THE SHIT YOU WILL SEE!]
 

You’ll be posting so soon!
If you want to take a rest
Deactivation is possible
If that suits you best

If you’re 18 we love you, or older that too
just ensure you’re that or older to continue.
On the FJ forum, you may use words of curse
No doubt someone out there has heard much, much worse

Except if you haven’t
But that sure takes snowflake talent

Threatening people
Is dicky to do
Don’t be a dick,
that’s completely sick
Or you’ll get banned too


People at work
log on here as well
So note your NSFW links
if you’re not without moral


If you start losing your moral
Please do think twice first
Before disrupting the forum
Like an attack of the cursed

It doesn’t matter if you’re cursed
Take care not to write
Fan fiction of all sorts
Til deep in the night

Hate speech is hate speech, we will not argue there
If you don’t understand it, then make sure you’re aware
There are links and resources on the forum as well!
We’ve made it quite easy to avoid your farewell
Will you take it or leave it? I guess time will tell!

If you write in a thread, please keep it in English
So it’s easy for us to establish
If you’re being a good rule keeper
And not just a weird creeper
So we don’t need to be a jail keeper

You can get really annoying
If you forget to delete
Your Tapa signature, that is always on repeat
Or any other signature that you wish to secrete
You’ll end up with warnings that aren’t meant as a treat,
so NOT a treat…

…because you must show respect
For the powers that be
And other readers that be
and the guests that may be
and the rules that rule
Without being all cruel
Please don’t be a fool
Everyone wants respect.

YES!
Respect for you too!

The internet is forever
FJ is that too
If you later have post regrets
You’ll cry and cry, oh, boo hoo

Helpmeets shall organize
renaming, tagging, moving,
Merging things, it’s all constantly improving
without a single hint of you all disapproving!

Oh, there is fun to be had, there’s lots here to read
Just follow the rules, which is all we do plead!
Speculating on minors’ sexuality
puts you definitely in, a place of marginality
Under minors we will also understand
Adults living under their parent’s hand

Keep it in mind
And we’ll have no need to remind!

Speculation busses depart from here
But not with unidentified victims named,
No, oh no,
That shall not be proclaimed

Not Proclaimed!
Whether you like it or not,
Victims are victims
Not some big story plot.

Privacy of others is theirs to protect
Information from public sources- that you may collect
If you are already friends with them and logged in
Then paraphrase well or it’ll go bye-bye in the bin

But post as you will
Within the boundaries defined
Post as you will
But “text speak” is not good for the mind
Post as you will
but try to not be BEC unkind
Post as much as you want
but no one-word replies,
Though your fingers may get tired
it’ll save you from demise

On and on you can type
and follow our rules
let us discuss things as adults
and not as damn fools.

You may post gifs, yeah sure,
in a spoiler you know
If you forget way to often
Into the prayer closet you’ll go
Don’t tell us to ban you
That’s annoying as fuck
If your opinion is different
We won’t be awestruck
Just remember to write posts clear and precise
And you too can find a place in this paradise.

And will you write posts?
Yes! You are there almost!
(All you need to do is follow the signpost)

FJ, IS AWAITING YOU!

So…
St Alan Rickman (RIP) is our FJ patron saint
And with the intelligence of St Rachel Maddow we do acquaint
You’re now on Free Jinger!
Today is your day!
FJ is ready for you
So… join in the fray!

 

Disclaimer: This will never replace the beautifully legally worded ToU. If you haven't read through that yet, you should probably deactivate your account until you have done so. Nor was it meant to replace the Rules...

I forget how reality went too.  Curious may remember it much better.

All I know is that I have very strangely got away with telling everyone that they had lost their minds.  

Perhaps I should have a mini super-speshul user title:  "Miraculously gets away with telling everyone that they have lost their minds!"

Joke, of course! :laughing-rollingred:

Possibly not a verbatim quote.  I kind of like it here in my fairy tale metaphor and haven't found my way out yet.  But now I'm picturing all of you wearing hennins and leaning out of turret windows....which is amusing me to no end.

 

What *ARE* you drinking on this vacation of yours?

*snooty tone*  I live in 1910.  It's the age of men.

Nothing adult...sadly this is just me more chill than usual.

although I have discovered the joys of peach tea.  Maybe there is something in that? :)

Years ago on a flight from Charleston I had the best peach tea I have ever consumed.

For a while, I knew the brand, but sadly, I have forgotten.  I will admit, though, that it is something of a holy grail for me . . . . 

Good peach tea could indeed cause one to wax lyrical - although I suppose it would dispatch me to the South and not to a fairy tale.

I've been on a mission for a while to try to learn to like herbal tea and this was victory.  Funny that it smelled awful in the package so I didn't try it for weeks - then decided to and while unbrewed (raw?  I'm new to tea) it smelled really minty, I can't taste the mint at all once it's done.

I think I'm going to get majorly offended and go off and sulk in a corner.  I may even flounce!

 @Destiny and @HerNameIsBuffy  upvoted me for describing myself as a PITA! :laughing-rollingyellow:

 

I upvoted you for preemptiveness because all the cool kids try that.

      They need to apply for a cottage food permit.  In order to fill out the application, they also have to have a food handler's card (or ServSafe), have their kitchen inspected, and pay the application fee. ($355). 

      Cottage food laws exist for a reason. Just selling random baked goods on the street is illegal. And so is advertising that you are selling unapproved, unpermitted items. It's just rude to all the people who went through the legal channel - putting together a safe product, investing in the proper equipment and permits, and getting food handler training. 

      https://agr.wa.gov/cottagefood

      There's someone in my state who is trying to loosen restrictions on our cottage food laws and it's not going anywhere, thankfully. We really don't need an outbreak of listeria from eating improperly stored meat from a roadside stand. 

      Actually I'm not sure they need a cottage food permit if they are "giving away" baked goods in exchange for a "donation". It's a slippery slope, but it's similar to a bake sale. I'm not sure what the policies are in WA. Regardless they don't strike me as people who are scrupulously clean ("We can't take showers, we use disposable wipes instead") so I think I'll be passing on the pie offer. Of course they are more than happy to drop off pies at homeless shelters if you would prefer. The first of the funds raised will be used to purchase pie making supplies and packaging. I think they have a long way to go...

      What gets me is needing "a fresh start" (I despise that term for so many reasons) less than a year after receiving a very large sum of money from others for moving expenses and hotel rooms and deposits and whatnot. Now they want to move again. I understand wanting to get to a lower COL, but have they really researched what that will look like longer term? Will they be restless again in a year or two? And most importantly, how long do they think they can sustain this lifestyle? I know they think they can't even perform a remote job because of deadlines, have they asked themselves why they have issues with deadlines? Perhaps executive dysfunction, a learning difference or something that can be treated to overcome? (ADHD here). Watching this situation is painful.

      I'm putting this here since it's about Monat.

      Spoiler

       

       

      Another Abbie, Abbie Jean Camuso used to promote Monat big time on her instagram account. The scales have fallen from her eyes as she's just posted this

      Holy shit! So it wasn't even Karissa who recognized a problem?! How do these people have children?!

      Remember Karissa is the one who had a very sick child (Anthym) and still took her out to eat knowing she was sick. After lunch she finally took the poor child to the ER.

      I have a feeling that her mom knows how much risk is involved in her births. I think her mother will fly in for the birth so she can basically force her to go to the hospital if she’s bleeding out. I think her mom urged her to take the last baby to the hospital 6 hours after birth.

      My obstetrician said after age 42 the miscarriage rate goes up pretty sharply.  He also said the risk of placenta failure (and subsequent stillbirth) in very late pregnancy is higher in older mothers, so he recommends either an induction at 39 weeks or weekly biophysical profiles (an ultrasound where they had some kind of checklist to measure the baby's heart rate and how much he was moving).  My pregnancy was pretty uncomplicated, but you'd better believe I wanted those weekly check-ins for reassurance!

      I'd be more worried about postpartum hemorrhaging if I were one of these moms with 10+ kids.  I've never experienced it, but in the hospital they were watching me like a hawk and they said it was because it was a 6th baby and women who have had many prior births are at higher risk of bleeding too much after the birth.  At least if you homebirth with an actual midwife there is someone to recognize the problem and intervene.

      I have a feeling that her mom knows how much risk is involved in her births. I think her mother will fly in for the birth so she can basically force her to go to the hospital if she’s bleeding out. I think her mom urged her to take the last baby to the hospital 6 hours after birth.
