just ignore and let this one die

So I was out shopping a bit ago -- nobody else in the store and I'm just flying around looking at the dresses. All of a sudden I get an IM saying "Hi". Now, I never thought that was a horrid way to start a conversation -- I have a tendency to start conversation like that in RL also. I always thought saying "Hi" first was polite.

Anyway, I respond back with "Hi", while looking around to see who has arrived - the name does not really indicate male or female. There is a guy on the ground below me, so I drop myself down to a lower height - partly out of politeness and partly so he is not staring up my skirt.

He then offers a brilliant "out shopping?", which I figure doesn't even deserve the "yes" that I am polite enough to respond with. He immediately follows with:
"let me take you out dancing on my roof top"
"under the stars"


ETA: I forgot to include the profile text that about caused me to fall out of my chair laughing. I often look up the profiles on these folks because they do provide such good entertainment:
(rez date 3/14/2009)
My apperence will never be outdated
Top notch to the top, I’m rated
I’m hot and cold I know, I gotta reason to be
30 years old, lots of people are starting to see
that I’m worth my weight in gold and still disease free
Just gimme a chance, I will show YOU the world, you’ll see




Hey maybe we should push him and Annabel together.

You are joking aren't you. I'm beginning to think that the people from the forum take pleasure in taking the piss out of newbies while pretending to be helpful. Thanks anyway. You can learn a lot from what people don't tell you.

You can wrongly assume a lot from what people don't tell you.

Well, I never venture into this thread...but saw the last poster on the main roster.....and was wondering what happened to you, Annabel.

You got a TON of advice from people who were VERY helpful to you. You didn't like any of the advice.....after about 4 pages of not liking the advice....and not issuing a Thank You for responding and for the help.....whether you like the advice or not.....a thread will take on a mind of it's own.....which will include suspicions of people using alts to stir things up.

If you're going to open a thread, and ask for advice...I doubt that anyone will care whether or not you use it....as long as you acknowledge that you appreciate the effort.

On ANY message board, on ANY topic....a new person is going to take some heat....just the way it works....part of getting past this is to cordially acknowledge that you appreciate the efforts of those who took some time to help you.

Clarification for folks unacquainted - me being one of... 'taking the piss out' what does that mean? Not familiar, I am sure I have never heard the term.. sorr - tvm

@ Seven - Wow- heck of a dress- it has its own x,y,z coordinates I imagine

The Urban Dictionary explanation is a little curt, and doesn't even explain why taking the p*** can be euphemised as taking the mick. If you country cousins want more insight into some of our slang, this is the best article I have ever found on origins of British/English swearwords. Be warned, it refers to literature that existed before Columbus.

Good morning everyone! So finally it looks like after defragging and doing other stuff, my puter is happy again. Wouldn't even boot for a few days. Needless to say I backed up my entire iTunes library and all my GIMP stuff once I got it booted. It's still a bit jumpy with the internet connection, but hey. I'll take what I can get.

I picked up a drop spindle


<snippped - image limits>

and have started an adventure into spinning. So far I've said "whoops" only 20 times or so. The eventual goal is to get a Certain Someone to build me a frame loom



so that I can play around. You know what's funny? We've been researching this stuff on the internet, and I remarked the other day that it was sort of odd to be using the world's leading technology to be researching the world's most primitive forms of spinning and weaving. Pretty cool huh?

It's wild. Every time i move half the dress sails up around my face.
