Not me! You, Wer?

Somehow, William in Drag does nothing for me. Come to think of it, men in drag in general are a turn-off, so I will just leave him on the cloud with the incontinence meds and fishnet stockings and stilletto heels and cut my loses. It was so enlighening to read that I think I will stay screwed for a long time.

*cackle* sorry Marcia... the befuddled look on your otherwise intelligent and perceptive face really cracked me up!

Stace, this is definitely not one of my better days. (digging a hole to bury that perceptive face so it percieves no more...)

WHAZZA MATTA YOU HEY? (IRL issues?)

IRL...but virtual...the current one we have been concerned about...I just stuck my foot in where I should not have...Hope I am forgiven.

by whom? certainly not me, the Spring's court jester...

No, not by you...not ever you. You are not cruel enough to do that.

Alexander Greece - I guessed that... Just wanted to hear it I thought so ;-) Stacey or was this a convert effort to turn THIS topic in the hottest conferenece on the Spring?! Absolutely a convert effort, heh heh. All the Cheryl versus Cheryl vs doppelgangers is beyond me... so I throw up my hands in imagined helplessness and move on... ! So sorry, Stacey. It was quite rude of me, like speaking another language over someone else's head. Marcia and I were referring to two Cheryls who used to be at the Colinfest. One drops by less these days, only occasionally, but is loyal, as she is the keeper of some intimate article or other of Darcy's (a character Colin played.) The other was there for a few months and left, and she was quite opinionated. As to "doppelgangers", well, to me it's like weltanschauung and weltschmertz and bildungsroman and undestag and all those other German words you'd better use right or you'll look silly. Lord knows I don't need help with that. Ask Marcia why she's going all literary on us all of a sudden. I myself fell victim to the thrill of using gang signs outside of our turf. Please accept my apologies. 'then why waste time when you could be doing something you enjoy?' comment ...hear that affirmation/reprimand/mantra from another! Me too. It's the old "unbearable lightness of being." I'm having a great time or finally free and then I immediately clamp on the lead weights, make a slight hole in my oxygen tube, and leap into an ocean crevass. Occasionally someone knocks on my metal helmet and points up. I'm always forgetting that's an option. Stacey the tiramisu I was just wondering how he does that. But if you can't say, I understand. Marcia Now I am also lost...I think it is time to find something else to do. No! No! Now why would you do a thing like that? We can't carry on so freely in Firthland, and besides there's no guys there. Maybe a nap will make you feel better. Or a good stretch. Can I call you sugarplum? Sometimes it just slips out. I called my one of my lawyers honey (the one I don't know so well, a woman) the other day when we won big. It's truly a term of endearment and respect. Men here wear lavalavas ...hanging in front and in back. I've seen pictures of these things. I envy your official duties. You definitely rule; Malo-peeking is a much better official duty than reviewing the troops. And you soldiered through in a tough situation. Bravo. I cannot renounce my crown, because I am too vain, but I'm happy to welcome you aboard. Maybe it's better just the two of us. wer Oh, I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay..." LOL! I expect burly is relative, since you've been described by our man Ray as big (not runt-like). In the South and West, I'm average sized. In the North, I'm a giant. So the mystery remains. Karen LOL!! ;-D Karen you dog. Stop lurking and join us. Wer: thanks for the link. Trippy. Like Stacey, I throw up my hands in imagined helplessness and move on... Marcia Come to think of it, men in drag in general are a turn-off I don't think the point is ever to turn us (women) on. I'm sure our William had perfectly good reasons for whatever he did and carried it out with great savoir faire. Lumberjack, burly, or runt, as long as he didn't trip over himself, and remembered to hike up his skirt to run, he could have cut a dashing figure. There's so much being written these days about men in drag...but I don't know that that adds to a discussion of hot conferences, and also Alexander will say he's not following again ;-) Marcia, you apologize more than I do! What on earth did we do wrong? You're so much fun, whaddaya worrying about?

You did nothing. I think I need to get over the flu I got yesterday and I will feel better. I just need a hug...!

I'll be back to comment after some sleep...

xxxoooxxxoooxxxoooxxxoooxxxoooxxxooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Thank you, my dear quimby...My spirits are a little better this morning, butmy eyes resent being asked to focus on small print. x0x0x0x0x back at you.*smile*

O

Thanks....I can actually see that, but it keeps coming and going..and coming...must be my eyes again ;) (Looks like someone has been at the HTML programming again. Very nice, dear!)

hoho, Quimby, gotcha: "The other was there for a few months and left, and she was quite opinionated. As to "doppelgangers", well, to me it's like weltanschauung and weltschmertz and bildungsroman and undestag and all those other German words" Yep, I know what you mean (harhar), even though YAPP ate the Bundestag's "B", and the Doppelg�nger's "�"'s two silly dots and added something precious to the general Weltschmerz I have at the moment, like the hangover from some stingy friend's cheap wine at that party that lasted until sunrise and broke up in a argument nobody ever understood what it was all about afterwards.

...sorry about the missing umlauts. I will try harder next time. and, quit drinking that cheap stuff...it will rust your plumbing and make your head feel dreadful, ruin your joie d'vivre and other Irish terms;)

*lol*

Marcia = Cheyenne ? Huh, das verwirrt mich jetzt aber, I must say! Anyway, Marcia, needn't be the bottled stuff - many folks substitute this nicely by using lead pipes for their drinking water... (BTW, that wasn't CHEAP wine, it just was a lot...)

(...I was just using your words)...not implying your having overindulged. Gak!! Your water is that bad, is it?! Causes brain damage...downfall of the Roman Empire and all that! (I meant your personal plumbing...btw *grin*) hmmmm...which Cheyenne might this be that Marcia=???

over-indulgement in wine is something I can relate to this morning :)) ::headache:: :)

...poor mikey...wear very soft slippers and use rubber dishes. We must be very quiet while this wears off...shhhhhh!

so i tell you... marcia = quimby = cheyenne = charlene = ch... that right? guess not. mikey, best wishes! had an aspirin yet? vitamins, fresh air and darkness might help, too...

rather than a noisy dealing floor and glowing computer screens, you mean? Ahhhh that's where I went wrong :)

Oh yes, indeed! This calls for muted everything from sounds, visual stimulation, and probably oral, too. Unless on of the latter two would make you forget you had a hangover?! Happy thought, indeed! (computer screens give headaches to healthy people...turn it off or very dim, anyway!) *hugs* Mike!

Alexander: sorry, Marcia and I really are two different people, as I'm sure she'll attest. But you're catchin' on, clearly.

Hi Quimby. I've missed you of late. now that CF's birthday is over, perhaps you will not be such as stranger.

gotta chuckle every time I see 'CF' Brandon and I refer to gobs of people milling as a 'cf' or huge traffic disorde rs as a 'cf'... affectionately known as a 'cluster fu�k'

Welcome back, Potte...erh, Quimby! Sure I catch on! You know, I always dig everything... What were you talking about, run that by me again, pls?

Oh Stacey! *lol* Now you've done it. That is all I will see now when I head cf. Guess that's why we also use ODB and DB for him (Our Dear Boy or Dear Boy) for which someone will have a ready alternate meaning...*sigh* I haven't a clue who I am anymore...suggestions of yours are as good as mine!

You be Marcia? I guess?

You Peeked ! Indeed, the one and only that I am aware of around this very special place. *smile*

hey it's me! Potty Mouth!

I could have figured pouty mouth, but potty? Pardon, Miss?

given name to all of those who espouse nasty words outta their mouths... like the stuff outta people s butts

Oooh, THAT potty! Hey, but pouty mouth would be nice, too... Wonder if I ever meet somebody around here who pouts...

I probably do on occassion...

... YOU? I'd never have guessed!

Hey, don't pout! That was jes' kiddin', gal!

*fake pout* (furrowed brow and jutted out lower lip) no you weren't...

Ah, girlie, donna play games like dat! Din'tcha Mommie tell ya tha brows-trick gets ya wrinkles? (hehe, should cure 'er!)

*wide eyes* *straight brow* (can't help laughing with this kinda get up on my face!)

Something like this??? �:-]

That's gotta be her!

very nice!

You got it....! ...and I got the nicest letter back for my efforts *grin*

That was my look, too on post your primary email here, and all that stuff yesterday. I can still feel the headache!

You get upset with yourself too easily. I've made worse mistakes than that millions of times around here, so much so you'd think I was getting paid for it. It doesn't really matter. It would be scary if no-one EVER made mistakes.

i second that! it's only funny because we've all done silly things like that before...

Yeah! You remember how Jim and I used to fight, Stacey??

Gotcha, and thanks. Icannot bear for people I respect and like very much to think I am being truly stupid on purpose, or as Jane Austen put it, "I cannot bear to think of [him] out in the world and thinking ill of me" Again, thanks. I should have realized long ago that there was no malice in any one of us toward the other...*hugs*

point well taken Marcia (and again I didn't mean to hurt your feelings) but one thing I have a problem with... you worry so much about what others think of you... especially those you feel closest to... Why?? we all really enjoy you and your posts, have confidence in that. those you care about, care about you 9and if you get any sense that they don't... you don't deserve that... I know you don't want us to have to walk on eggshells around you... please just believe that we like you and appreciate your views and thoughts and especially feelings. and then, if at anytime you do feel wronged or angry, we can discuss it... but i don't want our idle and ridiculous banter (and ability to laugh about silly things) to put you on edge (or us on edge either)... so... take a deep breath of Spring air and smile... we are amoung friends...

Yep! ...and I can feel all the warmth and fuzziness. Unfortunately stuff going on in my Hilo home (NOT Spring home)was making me more tense and cautious. I can see it now and will head it off at the pass next time. No eggshell walking...makes a mess on your floor and hurts bare feet. As we were! *hugs all around* *BIG smiles*

thanks Marcia! (for the fundraising prompting in another conference!) EVERYBODY... I am trying to raise $4200 for the Leukemia Society by December 1st... my great feat that I would like you ALL to sponsor is a marathon run... 26.2 miles Most people are donating a dollar a mile -- $26.20 but I have had some WONDERFUL surprises of more (including $100 form an uncle, $100 from my boss and $100 from my boss' boss!) ANY amount would be FAN-DAMN TASTIC as I have a long way to go... good vibes would certainly help as well! I have described this in detail in fitness but w/ this kind of prompting from Marcia, I'll post it around somemore!

Post the address Stacey, so folks know where to send it.

Stacey Vura r-33 JMTC 10100 W Ute Ave Littleton, CO 80127

Did I mention my side-line is actually axe murdering? And now I know where thee LIVE!!!! �visciously sharpening my axe and teeth�

Hehe, not like some others here, no? I used to be pretty cool at "grinding an axe", and if I get going, I still sometimes do...

Ah ha! Actually now you know where I WORK!!!! And hopefully the armed guards out from will keep you at bay!

Not if I hide the axe and pump up my boobs!

*laugh* I'd come running outta the building to see that!

ha-ha! I'm banking on it....! And then, WHAM!!! OFF with yer head!

*ouch* perhaps you're telling me you'd rather not donate to this cause then??

As generous as she is, she'll donate proceedings from her last three commissions to your cause, and then BAM! off with yer head... Bet she uses a machete...

damn it. OUCH

But you'd still have the contribution, and a way cool PR that every other team will be envios of!

not if i don't finish the marathon!

Oh, I guess she'll possess the strenght of will to wait 'til you cross the finish line...

Nope, I'll use my axe - one carved by an artist, so at least it will be an aesthetic way to go, right? In fact, I shall have an exhibition on sight - art in motion! YES YES YES! This might just turn out to be my big break! Stacey, I'll donate. Tell me what to do.

well... hmmm... how to do that different currency thing? I called Team Leukemia and they said the currency/check has to be in US dollars so... are there was to get money orders in different currencies? Alexander, Mr. Entrepenur... do you know how to go about this?? (Thanks Ree-head!!)

Stacey, I could sponsor you, then send you the money in cash, via insured mail. That would be the easiest thing, I think.

Woo Woo! Sending cashola through the mail! (Do you want me to send you the sponsor forms??) n oops

There are International Money Orders (or used to be) obtainable at your bank. If someone in Zurich, the very city where the Gnomes who will take over the money of the entire world (according to the crazies) cannot get a money transfer, I guess we are all in big trouble!

do you know about those Ree-head?

Sometimes they are called International Reply Coupons...

Yeah, I know about international money orders - I know the fees they charge on them here especially well, plus they take WEEKS to get anywhere. That's why I suggested insured cash. Doesn't matter - we'll see when the time comes. Send me the forms, Stacey, I'll sponsor you gladly. R. Walton Klosbachstr. 72 CH-8032 Zurich Switzerland Tel.: (01) 382 10 64

they are in the envelope... gotta take em to the post office to see how many stamps to put on! THANK YOU!

cool!

I'd love to see the stats for which conference was busiest for the last few days. I do believe Geo gave Drool bit of competition for the title of hottest conference. Does this server allow such statistics?

I think so, can't think of the actual mechanics right at the moment, have you perused the yapp guide at http://www.armidalesoftware.com or on http://www.spring.net/help ?

Thank you! Just curious, is all... I'll go take a look around the Yapp guide. I did not know it existed. (Learning stuff all the time here.)
