14431. Magoseph - 4/2/2005 7:47:04 PM Hey, Cap'n, ;-)! 14432. PelleNilsson - 4/2/2005 7:57:55 PM I learned early on that :-) = joke and ;-) = sardonic, so I'm permanently confused. 14433. Magoseph - 4/2/2005 8:13:00 PM Do you know what this one * means, Pelle? ;-)? 14434. jayackroyd - 4/2/2005 8:59:48 PM You're supposed to use a larger font to make that one clear. IAC, while I'm a fan of TLAs I've never liked emoticons. 14435. PelleNilsson - 4/2/2005 9:07:37 PM Which one? And what are TLA's? 14436. Magoseph - 4/2/2005 9:24:35 PM TLA - Three Letter Acronym 14437. Magoseph - 4/2/2005 9:41:16 PM You're supposed to use a larger font to make that one clear. IAC, while I'm a fan of TLAs I've never liked emoticons.
Oh, I see--I didn't know that, thank you.
This one, Pelle: * 14438. jayackroyd - 4/2/2005 11:38:05 PM ROFL
14439. PelleNilsson - 4/3/2005 7:58:36 AM :**: 14440. Magoseph - 4/3/2005 8:59:22 AM Good morning, Pelle. Okay, that ends it now-- Jay, you and I are The Three Asterisks.
By the way, the Random link to the Mote isn't there anymore--have you noticed?
14441. wonkers2 - 4/3/2005 1:36:16 PM Then why don'e we nuke RI's link on the MOTE? Screw PP! Death to PP! 14442. Magoseph - 4/3/2005 7:00:34 PM Nuking PP, are you bonkers, Cap'n? I know this is you talking now, don’t bother to deny it, I know you steal Wonk's’ username whenever it suits you—I’ll talk to him and tell him not to take you on his boat anymore.
I’d rather nuke Pelle than go after PP, if truth be told—he’s much meaner than PP will ever be, you old renegade you! 14443. judithathome - 4/3/2005 9:34:26 PM I am going to do my civic duty and take a job for 10 days (April 2o through May 3) as an early-voting poll watcher for our candidate for mayor. He asked me if I would do it...each candidate can appoint his choice of poll watcher and Andy chose me.
I will only do it from noon to five for 10 days and will be paid to do it. I told them I couldn't do it in the mornings because I have to go to exercise and I wouldn't want to keep the dog cooped up inside for the whole day, anyhow. So two other ladies are going to take the morning shifts. 14444. robertjayb - 4/3/2005 10:43:54 PM Better take along your combat cane, judith. 14445. judithathome - 4/4/2005 1:10:33 AM I plan to, Robert. And a bag of celery to snack on....
I have a funny story to relate. My son came to our New Year's Day party and about 3 weeks later, he called and wanted to know who a lady was he'd met there...he couldn't remember her name but he described her and I figured out who he meant...she was "sitting on the porch and had curly dark hair and a really pretty smile..." Well, that had to be Kathy! So one thing led to another and they began to exchange email.
Last night, he met up with us at Gallery Night and Kathy was there. I noticed he didn't seem to recognize her and nothing "sparked" between them and later he said to me "Who is that?" and I said "It's Kathy...the lady you've been emailing" and he visibly paled and said "Mom, that's not the lady I was talking about...."
No love connection, evidently, and I have dropped out of the matchmaker business. 14446. wonkers2 - 4/4/2005 1:50:10 AM Just kidding, Mago. I have nothing against the good professor. You or somebody noted that the Mote link had been removed from the RI website. I assumed it was PP. 14447. Magoseph - 4/4/2005 3:28:53 AM Wonk, I know you were kidding and so was I--now I can only hope that Pelle believes that I was kidding because it certainly looks that making jokes is not my thing.
Judith, it is indeed a funny story about your son and the woman guest. Congratulations on your job as an early poll-watcher and please tell me what this work entails exactly? 14448. alistairconnor - 4/4/2005 8:37:50 AM What a cruel story, Judith! I love it.
Two questions :
- Is Kathy heartbroken?
- Who was the mysterious lady with the pretty smile? 14449. arkymalarky - 4/4/2005 7:40:36 PM Oooh yes! Answers to those two complete the story!
Enjoy your job, Judith. Sounds like a great thing to be doing.
WRT emoticons, they don't bother me. What does is people who don't get subtle humor without them, especially when they complain when people use them. Someone needs to develop an emoticon for "brick to the head." ;-)
14450. arkymalarky - 4/4/2005 7:44:09 PM Conference was great, hotel was great, weather was awful. We didn't "do" Charleston because of that and being so tired from the driving. I couldn't change to a flight, which I'd about decided I should have, but the other Arkies who attended said the flight was awful, and at least take-off was probably pretty bad going home, too, because it was so windy.
Bob and I might have enjoyed the trip more had 1) the weather been better 2) it had been later in spring--no bluegrass and 3) I'd felt better. I would have backed out of the trip if there was any possible way, but there wasn't, but now I can mark that one off my "to do" list.
And again, the conference was fantastic, so I'm very glad I went.
