Jcpenny....are they in existence anymore?

It's kind of sad to see all the major stores I grew up with that people saw as the behemoths of the day and would always be around... Now going extinct.

JCPenney
Sears
K-mart

The Gap was for those who were cool and had money, but you don't even see many of those around anymore.

I miss the days when shopping malls actually had places to shop.

All the cool kids buy their clothes from Hot topic... Nothin like buying a fresh set of Tripp pants only for them to fall apart on the bus ride to school.

Sorry Narrow Path. You'll have to satisfy your matchmaking urge with someone else.

I wasnt trying to match make even though you both already seem like an old married couple. I thought you could both do with some rest and recovery and return in the new year refreshed as both of you have been making snippy af comments to others recently. Yours seem to be a boredom thing and Lanolin well its either her personality or shes mad at the world. Im not saying either of you dont have anyhing good to contribute to CC. YOU BOTH DO when youre not trolling. Its a shame if newcomers see this and leave, then what are we left with? The same old group talking about the same old things? And since you both have that stubborn streak and dont want to lay in the warm sun and drink pina coladas then Im going by myself! 😁

And talk about trolling, who then does a big public vent about another members shes supposedly romantically involved with. On the singles forum.

That is beyond hypocritical. You sort out your own personal problems, dont drag the whole world into it.

Hmm... Well of course I can't speak for Lanolin, but for myself I'm more jaded than bored. I've been here for years, and I've seen 'em come and seen 'em go. And my snippy comments are because I've seen some things happen before and know how they will happen this time. To paraphrase Sherlock, if you have seen something happen a thousand times it is a very strange thing if you cannot predict how it will go when it starts up the thousand and first time.

Let's see... The latest negative reactions you gave me were in the posts where chong rolled through and fired off a few sermons at us. That is as good an example as any to illustrate the point.

We get a lot of Self Appointed Preachers (SAPs) coming through here. Sometimes some people feel the need to preach at others, to feed their self righteousness, and usually the sermons are rather recriminatory in nature. So when chong came in and started preaching at us, and the sermons were rather condemning, it was a pretty good bet we had another SAP on our hands.

However there were a few unanswered questions before we could be certain this was another SAP. Would she fire off a few sermons and move on to other forums? Would she hang around and keep berating us? Would she ignore my comments or would she get upset and fire back or would she roll with it and make some jokes about the mild critiques I left in her threads? Her response would tell us much about her and her purpose here. So I left a few comments that were not too harsh, but picked at some facets of her sermons that could use a bit of mild criticism, to see what would happen.

Of course we got no response, because apparently she fired off those sermons in a drive-by, on her way to other forums.

Mind you, I do not explain this defensively. I don't owe you an explanation, nor do I need to defend myself against accusations. I offer this explanation as a courtesy. You seem like an awfully nice person. You're a bit quick to jump to defend someone, even when the old forum hands are saying "Yeah, no, you shouldn't be defending that one," but for character that's not necessarily a BAD sign for you.

Unfortunately I can't explain a doggone thing about Lanolin. All I can explain is me. And I can't explain everything about me, as I don't fully understand myself. :sneaky:

You lose the argument when you try and get personal Lanolin. Big difference between knowing someone and us two being anonymous online. But carry on keyboard warrior, we live in the same city dont we? Both go to baptist churches. Hmm...
FYI I forgave him. Its what I had to do to get peace. Doesnt mean my eyes arent open to the game tho. I thank God for my mistakes and my lessons.

Oh I get the whole jaded thing and Ive only been here since July and feeling jaded already.
The way I see it, Chong made threads that I found useful and interesting and so did others. I didnt find them condemning but then isnt the bible condemning? Among other things and I do not find that a bad thing either.
SAP? Never heard of that til now...another way to show youre addicted to CC ? lol
I dont mind people preaching here and in some form or another most people do. For those who dont get fellowship or go to church, maybe they appreciate it?
I havent been here for years like you have so Im not yet suspicious of everyone that is new. Altho I read your post in another thread about multiple accounts and then the thread went from 21 posts to 17 rather quickly.
Am I am awfully nice person? I can be nice and I tend to be in general. I can also be angry as shown by the personal thread about you know who but that anger was really disappointment and frustration and I eventually began to shift from it thankfully.
Not sure why Lanolin told me to own snarky lol my chat history shows Im not inclined to have a go at random people in all these forums....
No you didnt need to owe me an explanation but you did and I appreciate it and you might remember back when I started here I showed you my cards, I told you I thought you were a troll. But even that doesnt take away from the high respect I have for the many posts you make that are not trolling lol. So enjoy your Christmas with your family and God bless you Lynx.

Oh Lanolin is just Lanolin. Don't let her bug you. She spouts off whatever she's thinking. We've gotten so used to it that by now it's just background noise.

I'm not usually one to advocate the ignore button - I haven't yet used it at all myself - but in Lanolin's case it might be a good idea to use it if she irritates you too much. I can guarantee she's not going to stop any time soon.

And yeah, SAP is something somebody else on this forum came up with, so it might in fact be one of those signs.

er, not trying to argue with you Narrowpath, just stating an observation.

Quit projecting YOUR trolling.

Anyway back to topic, I think Narrowpath is obviously addicted to CC. Lets pray for her!
(and me lol)

Personally, I found those "sermons", as you call them, to be quite refreshing, and far from self-righteous.

There's still a JCPenney by me. Sears and K-mart both bit the dust a while back. I'm pretty sure that we have the internet and online shopping giants like Amazon to thank for the demise of Malls across the nation.
