Fletchesmrs, I think some of the comments in this thread have been designed to wind you up intentionally, some people have been riled to type out stuff that probably isn't the best thing to write...so please forgive them for that, I very much doubt they would say it in person. Out of the 9000 members on here, some are morons no doubt, but 99.99% are down to earth, genuine people...but I've yet to meet or talk to someone on here I dislike. It's like any group really, it takes all sorts for the world to go round.
I've never met you, nor spoken to you before...but there should be no need to 'take a joke' or accept some of the behaviour if you feel it actually is spiteful.
I'm 20, and find some of the attitudes on here old fashioned, whether that be about women, or immigration (which seem to be the two I think are more prevelant)...but it just makes me laugh, some people say stuff jokingly, some people actually believe what they say though. A female friend of mine came on here to have a look, she was impressed with the help and knowledge, but found some of the comments to be from 'creepy old men' or 'sarcastic (word I shan't use)'. She was puzzled why I thought so much of OOF, and I expained it to her.
I enjoy being on the forum, and I regularly see a fair few of the members. I'll talk to them about Omega's, and everything else...but none of them have ever said something I had a problem with. I think problems arise when you've never met that person in 'real life'. Posts on a forum define someone, if they write something you don't like, because it's only in written form you can never tell exactly how it was meant. But if you've had the benefit of speaking to them in person, you know what they mean.
Some things said on the forum I disagree with, but I know that the members on here have a heart of gold.
I hope this comment hasn't gone on for too long...but just take a step back and think; 'Ok, that's how it is sometimes...that's one person out of 9000 I'm not so keen on...there's always the other 8999'
thank you... you do speak wise words for such a young man ( no offence) just feel this forum is not for me ( maybe it is PMT ) after all i am a woman !! every time i come on here i offend someone !!

You haven't offended me fletchesmrs you chucked it & I chucked it back at you, so we're even! I was also genuinely asking how long you'd been doing sugarcraft? I find it fascinating to watch 'er indoors turn a block of sugar into works of art!
I DONT DO SUGAR CRAFT NUMB NUTS I MAKE WEDDING FLOWERS !!!!!!!! MEN !!!!!

I am assuming here that you meant Silk or artificial wedding flowers? If so, you could easily have corrected my honest mistake, as you said you 'make' them? which led me to put 2 + 2 together & get 5!
If on the other hand, you meant 'real' flowers, then allow me to put you right for the next time you slag someone off! Real flowers are grown in the earth, they may well be 'made' by a higher being, but that is certainly not you! Real live wedding flowers are 'arranged' not 'made'.
So, belay my last post regarding me not being offended!
You are without a shadow of a doubt the nastiest specimen of gene pool tinkering I have had the misfortune to come across! The female version of Billy No Mates!
