10803. Ms. No - 8/12/2004 4:03:50 AM Lord, I'm envious. I'm still sleeping with no covers on and the fan blowing on high. 10804. SnowOwl - 8/12/2004 5:20:15 AM How did he end up with a Czech mate? Is he the globetrotter, or did she come all the way to NZ to seek him out?
He ended up with a Czech mate by way of checkmate. They "met" playing chess over the Internet. After a couple of years she came down on holiday, they met in person. She went back to London where she's been living for several years. He followed her. They're now together in a little love nest in Shepherds Bush. 10805. marjoribanks - 8/12/2004 6:43:13 AM In reading through the past week or so of this forum, I must say that I've gotten immense pleasure and not a few real laughs out of the charming tag-team posting match of Woden and Resonance.
Just adorable, aren't they?
I want photographs. If not here, then I'll e-mail for 'em. 10806. wabbit - 8/12/2004 7:47:01 AM Photos, we want photos!
Meanwhile, my sister tells me they have boarded up the restaurants and the house, unplugged the electronics, moved the valuables upstairs, collected the pets, made lots of ice, charged up the cell phone and are as ready as they can be for Charley. Now we wait and hope it isn't as bad as Georges was. 10807. wabbit - 8/12/2004 7:48:15 AM SnowOwl, what a nice story. So many people meet online these days. 10808. judithathome - 8/12/2004 7:54:55 AM Now we wait and hope it isn't as bad as Georges was.
Nothing is as bad as George is.
10809. tmesis - 8/12/2004 8:28:26 AM Sons? Daughters-in-law? How old is everyone here?? 10810. tmesis - 8/12/2004 8:32:45 AM Because if this is an online retirement community, I'm really sorry about that gay porn photo. 10811. marjoribanks - 8/12/2004 8:40:48 AM I would say that the average age here is higher than other similar fora that I've frequented.
Maybe 43-44, or even higher if we only count the top 20 posters or so? Actually, it's one of the things I like about the site, because there is a whole lot less white noise attendant.
What's your story, tmesis? (Welcome to the Mote). 10812. Magoseph - 8/12/2004 9:07:46 AM ... I'm really sorry about that gay porn photo.
Oh, don't be, tmesis, it's done and forgotten as far as I'm concerned--only you could have chosen one with some young hotties, though.
10813. tmesis - 8/12/2004 9:09:43 AM The politics and religion/philosophy threads seem to be mostly garbage.
I go to school. I think farts are hilarious. 10814. Magoseph - 8/12/2004 9:10:44 AM What's your story, tmesis?
Yes, come often here and talk to us, tmesis. Call me Mags. 10815. Magoseph - 8/12/2004 9:15:41 AM My two sons went through that fart's stage. How old are you, tmesis? 10816. arkymalarky - 8/12/2004 9:20:47 AM Because if this is an online retirement community, I'm really sorry about that gay porn photo.
Why? They all looked like retirees. 10817. arkymalarky - 8/12/2004 9:21:57 AM I just turned 45, btw. I've been here almost 8 years. 10818. marjoribanks - 8/12/2004 9:24:08 AM Actually, the religion thread regularly goes through a spate of hectic activity that is unusually informed and thoughtful given the usual general internet fora standards.
Part of this is because we have one very well-versed resident poster, the maddeningly unrepentant fundamentalist kuliginthehooligan. Extremist, yes. Always game for a battle, also yes. And then there is the immensely more palatable Pelty who you have already met.
These men are on your side, one suspects. But add them together, and the other posters who show up now and then, and you have a far more formidable intellectual playground than is usual in places like this. 10819. marjoribanks - 8/12/2004 9:28:44 AM Now, tmesis, you may wish to browse the religions threads archived at this site to understand a bit about this site's background. 10820. marjoribanks - 8/12/2004 9:32:39 AM I'm 36.
I remember when (choked voice) Res was appallingly young, so very wet behind the ears that one constantly felt the urge to pat him on the head and slip him a silver dollar for his book larnin.
Now, (gulp) he's all growed up for real and (sob) he's found hisself a missus. Why I cain't hardly figger how the years gone by. 10821. arkymalarky - 8/12/2004 9:36:34 AM Are you and PE the same age? And Res is right at 30? I can't keep up. 10822. Magoseph - 8/12/2004 9:38:01 AM I ran two miles today, so there, I'm young.
