I don't even see an Ignore box, but I've just had the roughest morning of this entire year. Perhaps I just didn't see it. I don't know.
I need lunch.
It is up near the top of the page - just go up until you see "Thread Tools", hover over it with your mouse and a drop down box appears that says "Ignore Thread". Click on that.

Truly don't understand that. Who is to decide who is worthy enough to get a thread to be remembered in? Each persons has different persons that are important and great to them. To take me as an example i hadsnt heard of many of the ones mentioned but they were clearly loved by many in the states. And i'm sure that some of you hadn't heard about the ones i posted. As it should be. And birthdays..... Whats wrong with saying happy birthday in a thread. You don't have to read them but if others like it,, i'm one of them, why not let them enjoy them?

AMy Winehouse! They tried to make me go to rehab but I said, No, no no!
I have a really edgy 12 year old daughter who does an amazing rendition of this Amy Winehouse song. She's pretty crazy and intense. I worry about her sometimes. Having a whiskey-cigarette voice at 12, plus the attitude. I think I'm in trouble.

I think Bryan might have been in a mood when he started this thread. Maybe he's settled down a bit now - being engaged to Lily Sawyer and all.

I think whoever feels compelled to post an R.I.P. should let us know who they are and what their personal connection to them was (laughed at them on T.V. growing up, for example...maybe even give the scene you remember).
I can't think of any dead celebrities yet who have inspired me to do this.

...vehemently disagree...don't read the damn things if you're not interested...plus BJ's own "dead thread" phrasing is out of place, everyone is special in some way, and if we choose to post about them-we have that right as members of this Board, just as you have the right to post that you think they're a pain in your azz...and birthdays???...hells to the yeah, each of us should be recognized individually....gives all that care to, an opportunity to "hug" that someone on their special day, instead of listing their name in a communal congratulatory group grope...I love you both-you know that, but sheeyit!-that hit a nerve...
Yep. I think the birthday and RIP threads in their way express the heart of the SKMB at our best. I can't defend them better than GNT has here.
