Definitely. I've been around long enough that I saw this coming from a mile away. It's been done dozens of times and usually goes something like this. Step 1 - pile on of intitial topic ( in this case poor unsuspecting blogger) Step 2 - defense of blogger Step 3 - pile on of OP Step 4 - defense of OP ( well I think we did this phase?) Step 5 - people are getting bored but it's still fun so we veer off to totally unrelated topics Step 6 - some name calling or not as you see it Step 7 - back to unrelated topics Step 8 - someone tried to get back on topic, usually this is not successful Step 9 - more unrelated topics, usually about food or sex, hardly ever about running Step 10 - thread dies a slow death but is remembered by fondly by many (usually not the OP though)

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

I forgot to mention that I actually tried a Peep for the first time from when I got them at the race. It was green and I tried it with hot chocolate...wasn't impressed. The rest got given to my MIL...at least I saved her the trouble of having to rip them open.

Beth, I approve of your assessment.
Kay, if you ever come down my way, the Sands Casino has outlets and one of them is a Just Born store. Peeps galore.

The whole Mike & Ike breakup still cracks me up.
JustBorn sponsors tons of races in our area (April and daisy know this) and they always give out free candies, with the result that I am completely addicted to Mike & Ikes.

I always give them to my husband when I get home. He loves them.

we are just bigger with better experience at being judgmental and know how to push buttons, peeps, wine, and pot.

But will this one die a slow death or turn into the next gen chat thread? Could go either way.
LOL... That's right. I should have said: we're BETTER than kids. nah, nah...
Never like peeps myself, they are kind of nasty and I have never tried a stale one as I didn't like the fresh ones. How long do you have to let them get stale?
Also what is everyone's thoughts on Applebees and tipping?
@runjerseygirl
If I'm ever down your way, I will feast on peeps, and then knock on your door to come burn them off with me.
Do you even run?
Are we there, yet?
