27774. arkymalarky - 12/1/2013 9:23:01 AM Recovering from yet another holiday respiratory infection and spent the day googling old mote ids and reading posts. Pretty neat. And if anyone here participates in the perfect world, they need to know that wot has them on red for some reason.
Funny how you realize the people you miss seeing when you read back through the posts. I've only looked a few times and briefly. I never seem to take the time. Really makes you appreciate wabbit's archiving work. 27775. thoughtful - 12/1/2013 4:08:46 PM Thanks arky...I too miss the days of debate when we had many more participants. I even kind of miss the flame outs!
I'm on another board now where the norm is utter politeness. I've already been excoriated for suggesting something "sucks" and another has been corrected for daring to use the term "hate". Can you imagine???
27776. arkymalarky - 12/1/2013 5:54:48 PM Wow. What on earth do y'all talk about? And how many people are there? ;)
I grew very tired of the constant fighting, especially after 9/11. It lost all entertainment value after that; but the occasional flame war could be very entertaining, and there were some really funny exchanges. One had me laughing too hard for someone with laryngitis and a sinus headache, and I already can't recall what it was or who said it. Joezan was always funny to me. It may have been him.
After I got involved with AR politics and education issues here I was less invested in daily Moting, and now all that's past me and I'm in a great job I've gotten in the habit of only using my phone, so I don't know that I'll ever try another board. I'm looking though. I saw the well is still going. I have had blogs and may get another after this school year ends. 27777. arkymalarky - 12/1/2013 5:59:37 PM And strangely, though I took and still take all the people very seriously and consider them genuine friends, I couldn't take the drama here seriously at all. It made me think of Burns: Would some god the giftie gie us, to see ourselves as others see us. 27778. judithathome - 12/1/2013 8:52:20 PM Great number you got there, Arks! 27779. arkymalarky - 12/1/2013 10:28:24 PM Oh, neat! 27780. Jenerator - 12/4/2013 12:13:44 AM Remember RustlerPike? I wonder what ever happened with him.
Anyone see Ruth lately?
How is Pelle?
27781. Jenerator - 12/4/2013 12:14:02 AM PS - Thoughtful - I love the picture and message! 27782. arkymalarky - 12/4/2013 1:17:14 AM Pelle passed away. 27783. arkymalarky - 12/4/2013 1:19:56 AM I think it was planning posted in the news thread. He had popped in for a moment some time before, but he must have been ill then. 27784. judithathome - 12/4/2013 4:54:59 AM Pelle had a forum at my place (AM) and he never said a word. Never complained, never talked about his own health.
The forum is still going, as a memorial to him. A guy from Australia is running it. 27785. robertjayb - 12/4/2013 9:17:05 PM HooRay Me! I remembered my username and password and can sign-in without pestering wabbit for the umpteenth time.
This bit from the Houston Chronicle is me:
Now that I'm older here's what I've discovered:
1. I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.
2. My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes (blueberries for me) and all-bran.
3. I finally got my head together and now my body is falling apart.
4. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
5. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.
6. If all is not lost, then where the hell is it?

I have hope of one memory problem being eased with the wrapping up of cataract surgery this week. For the past year or so I've been juggling four pairs of glasses and driving the patient spouse nuts keeping up with them. The ophthalmologist says I may be able to really lose the glasses altogether.
Now if only I can find a hearing specialist as competent a the eye guy. 27786. arkymalarky - 12/4/2013 11:39:17 PM Haha! Great to "see" you Robert!! 27787. Jenerator - 12/4/2013 11:59:46 PM I am saddened to hear of Pelle's passing. We argued a lot, but I always had a soft spot for him, and I think he had one for me as well. At least, I hope so. He was a good man and so smart. I always think of him this time of year and his orchids.
When did this happen? 27788. Jenerator - 12/5/2013 12:00:50 AM AND, every single time I pass by a Collin Street Bakery. It was so neat that a family in Sweden ordered their fruit cake from Ennis, TX. 27789. arkymalarky - 12/5/2013 12:13:10 AM I'm not sure. 27790. judithathome - 12/5/2013 3:03:04 AM Last year. 27791. arkymalarky - 12/6/2013 4:34:42 AM Y'all socked in Judith? 27792. judithathome - 12/6/2013 4:50:31 AM Pretty much...from the latest map I've seen, it looks like it's going AROUND you guys! It looks like it stops just to the north and west of you guys, whatever that little blue patch is is...the sleet and mucky cold are pink and white, and they keep saying "missing this little blue area here...."and pointing to where y'all are.
Hope so...we're freezing our asses off here. 27793. arkymalarky - 12/6/2013 5:12:22 AM We're under an ice storm warning but it's 31 right now. They're saying early morning.
