"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

What about those of us who can't... ever... make up... our minds... about... anything...?

Then why are we discussing it instead of saying "I don't know/I have no opinion about this"?

Most ellipses contradict conversation's flowing and efficiency in decision making, IMHO. That's all. If I'm doing something, I wanna do it right and thoroughly, you know?

I can always claim I met Sox at Sparky's wedding! Which is also where I met Sparky.

I loved my wedding.

Glam! I thought of something else to send you but now I cannot remember what it is. Unfortunately, in my case, my pre-pregnancy brain has not returned. I'll remember when I trip over whatever it is.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am just posting to see my user number!

Welcome Lurkers!

Come on out, more lurkers!

“Not dead yet!”

I still can't figure out how to see my user number on my Mac.

I have Macs because I'm a dork when it comes to computers.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Barb, you are 2166.

I'm 68. I must not have had much to do that day.

Maybe you should change your tag, Sophia, to "Lurkers to become a poster should gather immediately now here".

(For posterity, her current tag is, "Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here".)

I found out that if you lurk too long, you start thinking of responses to posts and threads, and then when you do post you do so with the responses that never actually made it to the board in mind. And people can assume the new poster is, you know, insane. Could just be me, though.

Learn from my mistakes, people! Postify! (It's like testifying, only typier.)

Because books.

Wow. 1149 used to seem so high!

“Not dead yet!”

Barb, you are 2166.

Wow. See, it feels as if it should be so much lower because I lurked without registering for the longest time. But I like it because it has my favorite number in there twice. And no, I don't know why six is my favorite number, it just is. Always has been for some reason.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Hey, ND, no fair posting your user # without also telling a bit about yourself. Introduce yourself, baby! Do it for the lurkers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not for nothing, but the lurkers theoretically already know everything about us, due to the lurking....

Oh yeah. I delurked somewhere else one time with a whole list of things I was going to respond to from the previous year. Good times. Then I re-lurked.
