Addendum:

I forgot to add that sometimes I feel God holds me back from writing certain threads, for whatever reason. Maybe I can't find a way to present a topic without it being too polarizing; maybe He's telling me my heart isn't the in the right place when writing it (I have to "write right") :); and sometimes I believe He's leading me to spend my time on other things or to communicate with others in a different way.

On the flip side, I've also had times when I didn't want to make a post but felt like God was pushing me to do so, even if hardly anyone or no one at all answers-- maybe someone needed to know the subject was worth talking about, or maybe God was trying to deal with me as I was writing out my thoughts.

They were choices like how would you approach a problem? Then several different ways of approaching it were the options.

The old system allowed something like 40 poll answers, and every now and then, I would utilize them all. :) It was also a useful option for asking several questions at once (such as asking 4 questions and then creating multiple options for each question, although each question was "technically" one of the 40 poll options.)

I think the new system allows for something like 12-15 answers? I'm not sure -- I didn't count the last time I tried to create a poll. It could still probably be finagled with a little bit, but I haven't had the time to dedicate to trying yet.

By the way, +7 points for using innocuous in a sentence. Man, I wish my cow*rkers were sufficiently literate to handle intelligent conversation...

Innocuous? Is that what happens if you get a vaccine? There will be those that get innocuous against the corona that's been getting around.

That would be an interesting thread. You can have members asking other members for virtual dates and then post about what happened.

You're thinking of inoculations, which inoculate against certain diseases... but they do render the diseases in question innocuous to the person or animal receiving the inoculation.

No kiss-and-tell! If you virtually kiss her, don't go talking about it. That's just ungentlemanly. :cautious:

Come on, man! OK, no kiss and tell but I don't think that snuggling and cuddling is out of the question. Anything beyond that may prove to be problematic.
