Um, did you really call her baby a parasite!?

Even joking, that aint right. Even me who is not a fan of the little people wouldn't have the audacity to do that.

Best. Reply. Ever.

And FTL, why don't you go somewhere else for a while. A long while. Everyone's thinking it, I just have the balls to say it. And I don't even have balls. I'm just done with seeing your not so thought through crap.

Look you are annoying at best and clueless at the very least, but even for you this is beyond insensitive. How about growing a personality and some manners while you are at it.

I believe you owe MsA and her beautiful CHILD an apology.

NVG: Awesome response!

Holy crap, apparently no one here has seen House. And which is worse, calling it a parasite or calling it an alien? I could hardly call a human child an alien, either. SR called it (it being general, and not in reference to anyone specific) an alien and I instantly remembered a scene: "you have a parasite." "a PARASITE?????" "Oh it's no big deal, you can give it a name, dress it up, take it to play dates with other parasites..." (paraphrased) and I know eeeeeeeeeeeeveryone is gonna see this and say House was being insensitive too, and so on, since everyone seems to be in a shit-ass mood today, but I wasn't even referring to MsA. At all. Ever.
Has anyone noticed that the one person it should matter to (I haven't forgotten you, NV, I'm sorry) most hasn't replied? I will apologize to NV since I know it's his kid too, but MsA doesn't appear to be offended, or maybe she didn't see my response.

MsA, if you haven't seen it or are just noticing, and you're offended by it, I sincerely apologize. I wasn't referring to peanut, and I never meant to imply that it was referring to peanut.

I think y'all need to get a fuckin' grip. This is what I hate about written posts as opposed to conversation, it's too goddamn easy to take something in a way it wasn't meant to be taken in the least, and automatically connect it to something it was never meant to be connected to. Jesus Christ. I was thinking about something completely fucking different.

Oooooookayyyyy.....

So. Yeah. We're all supposed to realize that you were talking about an episode of HOUSE instead. Of course. It's so apparent. Obvious, even.

Now, I completely understand what you were trying to say about written word versus actual conversation, and how the two can potentially convey different meanings even though the words are the same, by way of body language, intonation, facial expression, etc. But you completely fucked the dog here, kiddo.

In context, no matter what playful lilt there was in your voice, you were following a conversation regarding MsA and her little boy. The connection was inescapable, no matter what may have going on in your mind. There is no goddamned reason everyone should have known you were talking about that one time in that one episode where Dr. House said that one thing to that one chick......

Also?

HOUSE contains approximately one billion times more awesome than all of your posts combined. So the "insensitivity" you perceive from House, in the hands of these writers, comes out as clever, witty reparte. Comparison to your post = no.

We may need to "get a fucking grip", but you sure as shit need to get a fucking clue.

I had referred to my own pregnancy experience and my own idiomatic train of thought.

Technically mammalian reproduction does qualify as a parasitic relationship.
It is not a symbiotic relationship as the developing fetus does not contribute to maternal health, and in fact puts great strain and demands on the female without returning anything tangible to the relationship. (Emotional well being aside in higher mammals and the eventual goal of perpetuating the maternal genetics aside.)The organisms in lichen get a better deal than mammals.

The are cute little parasites, though! Except for naked mole rats...they are at no stage in their development what I could call cute and keep a straight face.

We should, however, pause to remember that gestating humans are in a highly volatile emotional state resulting from drastic hormonal imbalance, and anyone who knows as much as MsA about making sure the bodies and evidence are never discovered really should not be baited when they are in said condition. Additionally humans tend to get very upset when you essentially call something generally considered cherubic and the embodiment of innocence a tapeworm.

I love babies, my hands reach out for them of their own volition and higher mental function ceases when I am near one.
I am aware that they are technically a very endearing ex-parasite. I am also aware of exactly what their mother went through to get them here and still cannot explain why we put ourselves through that more than once, because we KNOW BETTER the next time. Who thought mammals up, anyway?!

Let us remember that even Zoe was not immune to the schmoogie-woogies...

Exactly what HK said. You are no fucking house, that's for god damn sure.

And stop bitching about "written posts" you seem to be the only one that has problems with it. If you noticed you are always the one fucking everything up. No one else seems to have a problem with their posts being "taken in a way that it wasn't supposed to be"

And don't try to cover it up. People were talking about a baby and you say "parasite" right after. Man up and apologize instead of making excuses like you ALWAYS DO.

*preps self for another tirade, but*
when the meaning of something isn't clear, but you think I might mean one thing and not something else, there is always asking. "Whoa. Are you calling MsA's baby a parasite?" response: "Oh jeez, no. I was referring to House. Sorry about that." If I'd been on at all today I would have been able to respond sooner and put this whole misunderstanding to rest before it blew up, but I haven't been near a computer so, sorry. And if anyone even noticed I did apologize, so holy crap put it to rest. I explained myself and apologized and even PM'd MsA asking her to please weigh in, even if only in another PM, and I anxiously await her response. Jesus.

I find it hard to believe I fuck up *everything* and ALWAYS make up excuses since I don't go around deliberately insulting every single person on this site. I try not to do that even accidentally but apparently I sometimes do, and I while I appreciate that being brought to my attention, the manner is a bit... I think the last time I had a tirade was because I'd had a bad day and I misread something someone else said. *familiar?* I'm not gonna leave over a misunderstanding I've already apologized for. I love this place too much and the fact that I apologized should speak to that. If I didn't care I would have said "I don't owe anybody anything. Fuck all of you, whatever."

I'm not covering anything up, I was explaining myself and what I meant. I WASN'T referring to MsA at ALL, but apparently no one believes me when I say that, and I don't know how many different ways I can say it.

But since my previous apology apparently wasn't enough:

MsA, if I offended you in any way, I am sincerely sorry, and didn't mean anything by it. I hope you believe me and I hope you forgive me.

Thanks for the apology FLT, but yeah calling my baby an it and a parasite is not really a good choice even if you're kidding. Rosie's alien comment was a continuation of a long standing discussion about how when you can see the baby move it kind of looks like alien and how it feels very alien to have another human moving inside you...( again it would help you not make missteps if you read the posts more carefully)
NV was fairly offended by the idea of the baby as a parasite since it's like calling him a flatworm or something else that stems from unclean or disgusting sanitary conditions.
Also it's best to remember that if you're referring to something you might want to include that in your post
I do think you have a tendency to not pay attention to other posts and not really think through what you say so it gets you into trouble more often than anyone else.
If you're going to joke try to remember to put LOL or smile face or something to add context to your post
