Topic: Excuse my ingorance please...

Additional Comments: On two topics above I read the word DOATER.  I must be stupid when it comes to computer jargon because I don't know what this means.  So I went to dictionary.com and the definition for the word doater is "a fully mature harp seal".  So when somebody posted "Doater Alert", what exactly does that mean?  I'm too embarassed to put my real name.

  • I don't know ''thing of bread'' either...I do know ''purse hay'' and ''discosting'' though. ~~misspm
  • i have no clue what that is or shuffling his papers..or purse hay?? i'm clueless. i'm actually a little discosted!! LOL! --carm
  • Is ''purse hay'' another way of saying/writing ''per se?'' Just guessing because I've never seen this on the board. eom/Jenny
  • A 'thing of bread' came fram a poster named Katina who apparently couldn't remember the word loaf. Can't remember why we all started using it... And yes, 'shuffling papers' is pretty discosting! Another poster, I want to say pixie sticks?, was sunbathing and saw a guy in a car watching her. At first she thought he was shuffling some papers...he wasn't. eom Ralphi
  • OMG ralphi i remember all that now!! remember katina? wasn't she a little crazy? well, crazier than most posters? wow!!!--carm
  • Jenny... a poster here was mentioning some of the stupid things they have seen written on this and other boards and ''purse hay'' stood out above the rest. cgem eom
  • I'll never forget ''shuffling his papers''! That was one of the first posts I read when I started on the Board! Too funny!...eom Candy Girl

    And in the last few years a doater requires a recipe!  This is not a law, of course!!!  LOL

  • Oh I forgot about the recipe semi-requirement! Next time, I promise!..eom Candy Girl
  • A doat requires a recipe too? I thought it was only a rant? Glad I read this. ~~misspm
  • You might be right, misspm!! I lose my mind often! I guess I just thought there can't be too many recipes!!! LOL eom fuzzwuzz

    Years ago, we had a poster named Doat. She liked to tell long stories. Hence, the term "Doater" came to be...
