just ignore and let this one die

That is a terrible thing to do to the guy that has been so politely stalking you.

No way! The red shirt guys always get killed.

Sometimes my Red Shirts survive:



"Pity about Schlegel, isn't it, Lt Lexxi?"

"Better him than me Captain".

Yeah there's more too, after he cut off my braid (he only did it because that's how boys show they like you, they hit you and stuff) he became my 'boyfriend', walked me home from school, carried my books and beat up other boys on my behalf, who were also trying to 'like' me by hitting or chasing me. But when we were in 6th grade, our moms, who were friends, decided we were too close, and if they didn't split us up, I'd be pregnant before I was 13. So I got sent to private school and we drifted apart...when I came back to the public school system, in 10th grade, we'd totally moved on, he was dating cheerleaders and drill team girls and I was seriously college bound, not his type at all anymore. He wasn't mine either, was arrogant and a jazz band musician, they all thought they were 'all that'. So I didn't let him know I was back, and he never knew. He married a cheerleader, I went on to college. We hooked up at our high school reunion, both on the reunion committee, both divorced. So it's a 2nd marriage for both of us, probably better this way as we've both settled down some. lol

@3 - getting punched in the nose by a stranger on your first day of kindergarten might have been one of the defining moments of your life. It could explain a lot... just saying.

I have no kindergarten stories.


My mother ended up basically moving every three years as a kid. Daughter of an army officer. Father stayed in same place as a kid. Father and mother moved all over the place before second child (father in air force). Retired from Air Force as didn't want kids to have the disruptions mother had as child. (edit in that they meet at college)

Rather wish they had moved around. At least once. I really needed a chance to start over with a new group of neighbors/students when high school started (I actually begged them to move, heh). At least I thought so right before I started. And after I'd been there. oh well. heh.

I've lived in the same area my whole life. I'm eternally trapped. If people end up coming back, living more lives on earth, I'll probably end up here again. Forever. life after life. Never leaving. I mean living elsewhere beyond breaks for school, or vacation (not that I've ever had a vacation - I've been places, like England and Mexico but one, England, was school classes in England, second was vacation-like, but between college semesters). I did go to college far away (two different, one graduate). Same state though. Large state.

You should google him... find out where to send cigs and candy

this explains much...

Threadies, I'm going to Blue Linden's office hours later today to argue for keeping these Forums. If you have a comment to make in support of the Forums, can you post it in "If the Answers 'forum' is a non-starter, where to next?" thread? I'm cutting and pasting all constructive comments into a Notecard to give to Blue at the meeting.

Let's make an effort!

Howdy folks!

I don't remember much about kindergarten, but I definately remember starting 1st grade.

Up until I started 1st grade I was Ricky, I'm not even sure I knew my given name was Richard. So during the first few minutes of the first day at catholic school this huge mean nasty ogre of a nun we had as a teacher starts calling out "Richard".
I had no idea that she meant me. She proceeded to chew me out telling me that my proper name was Richard and that when she called Richard I had better answer.

Well, a week later my family moved out to the suburbs and I was enrolled in public school and never went back to a catholic school again.

However, I've gone by my "proper" name, Richard, ever since.

Just so you don't need to ask: We never got married.

i'm too late for this, and i can't wait to find out what you learned.

Well, it was a very civil discussion. I'm kicking myself for not logging it, but oh well.

Long story short: Blue took lots of votes:

3rd party moderation: bad or good?
Light or heavy moderation?
Inworld ban = Forum ban?
Beta test of new forum software?

Maybe one or two others. I hope we tried to get across that we want to keep the Forums as is, but were grudgingly willing to try another software, as long as they ported all existing info from here to there.

Most votes were roughly split down the middle, except for light vs. heavy moderation - that was all "light" (or none.)

Gayathri Linden was there and had no clue that nearly everyone has issues with SL Answers. I pointed him to a couple of threads here. Both Blue and Gayathri are totally decent people.

i'm not a racist... that's all i have to say about that.

Nor am i and in the interst of posity re mr obama i couldnt possibly care less if he were three feet tall and green with polka dots- its his politics that suck in my extremely not humble, admittedly arrogant and tough! opinion. tvm... and now enough from my rants...

i was strictly speaking about his looks, not his socialist politics.

I know you well enough to know what you meant- i just wanted to be sure there was no future twisting or misconstrued understandings later on- and of course my wonderful typing- i meant posterity!

Did you go in the sci fi avi?

Did anyone ask them why they have refused to update THIS software for over 2 years?
