I have a friend from high school years who, last I heard, was up there.
Does she post here, Heather?
Love the story, Sparky. I'll have to send it to my friends in North Pole. I think that they would get a kick out of it.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

Allyson - i found the 2001 bronze archive disk that Cosmic Bob made for me and i found quite a few posts from Penlind/Cairo and even one or two from her "husband" Riley. i'm going to take the disk with me to work tomorrow. hopefully i'll have time to copy/paste or maybe upload the boards to my site.
also found some amusing posts by/about Geo/Hel Sparrow/Karmic/fill in name here, but that's a different story to write about. *g*

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Matt, I didn't even know that you were in Memphis, and I spent a whole day with you. I kind of suddenly feel like a jerk as I realized the time I spent with all of you, and I didn't even get to the polite "Where are you from, what do you do?" type of conversation, and instead spent all the time discussing things such as the various names of Jefferson Starship.
Not that I didn't enjoy that, of course.

No need to feel bad about it, I'd say a group of technical strangers relating like old chums and just having fun together without needing to ask the typical introductory questions is a good thing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This is very true. It's just something I'd never really experienced before, and I was hit by a wave of horror that I'd seemed uninterested. It wasn't that at all. There were just other pressing things to discuss, like the evolution of John Cougar Mellencamp, tomato preferences, Muppet cannibalism, and the importance of hats on statues.

Also, what the difference is between a swamp, a marsh and a bog. Which led to the great Nilly comment "You have too many words!".

Bwah! I keep remembering these little gems from the day- I'd forgotten that one. This morning I was driving home from a meeting, grumbling about the earliness, when I remembered Nilly marvelling over the greenness of everything. Then I was kind of grateful for my woodsy drive home. Although, still in dire need of coffee.
