That means leave out the emotion. We'll figure out that you're angry, upset, whatever. When you try to explain TOO much, the wording usually loses its ability to be deciphered.

...and then you start to talk in run on sentences and you forget about using punctuation unless you're <b>REALLY!! REALLY!! MAD!!! AND THEN YOU USE WAY! TOO! MUCH! PUNCTUATION! AND TALK ALL IN CAPS SO EVERYONE THINKS YOU'RE YELLING!!!</B> and you start writing derogatory statements about entire groups of people like all stepmothers are rotten and all birth mothers are money hungry out to ruin the father and all fathers don't pay their support and next thing you know the entire thing has gone off topic because you lit a bon fire when all you really wanted was an answer to your question and no one can even remember what the question was or what you wanted and then you have pages and pages of useless information about who did what to whom and what they said when it happened and why they shouldn't have the custody or the support or why they should pay more support or less support and pretty soon everyone is just ignoring the entire post anyway because they've noticed that now its pages and pages long and everyone is talking about something different and there is no longer any continuity to the post yet there you are waiting for an answer to the simple question that you could probably have written all in one or two sentences but now they're all talking about who likes long legs or blue eyes or people with blue legs and long eyelashes...all because you got too excited in your post. ~cough~

what's wrong with long eyelashes and cute butts? haha

can you type as fast as you talk? that key board must be smoking!!

 

[morning_angel]

Ambr...NOTHING wrong with long eyelashes and cute butts at all!! (personally, I like a man with a broad muscular chest and washboard abs *swooning at the though*)

Yeah, I do pretty much type as fast as I talk. I went back to college a couple of years ago and I've done so many papers that I can <i>almost</i> type as fast as I think!!

LOL I remember a stern male instructor when I was a still somewhat shy high school sophomore telling me that he hoped I'd continue to think as fast as I talked. Later, in every debate competition, I earned high scores with the admonition to S L O W D O W N.
