Don'tt get me wrong, you people are cool, but man, I can do this
for hours and hours and it getts as if doing this fills that
loonlinness void, but aren't we just living here in a virttual,
computter led fantasy world? It would be great if we all coould
get together for real soomewhere, sometime....I know I'm nnew here,
butt alot of you seem to 'virtually" know eachotther pretty well and
maybe I'll get to know some of you too in time and it would just be
a "real" good tthing to do. I know all cann'tt do it because
travel, finances, oor otther reasons, but maaybe try for a date inn
the springtime, so prior tto a meet, we cann get a shoow of hands and
see if there's enough of us participatinng to make it worthwhile!
I for one , don't need another addiction problem(computer), unless it
has tthe probabilitty of going from virtual to real!
The last few days, all I've done is manage to swap cSI, Law and
Order, sci-fi channnel and fox nnews, foor virtually gettig soome
friends!!! Moostt of you regulars, too me, seem like down to
earth, good , decent people annd it would be a shame to let the
assholes annd scumbags steal the real world when decent peoople cope
witth this virtual life! I'm not puttinng anyone down or nothinng
like thatt, just sayinnng that the computer should only be our doorway
and nott our home.... any tthoughts?

and if you're wondering, nO, I'm nnoot ann elementary school
drop-out!!!! my keyboard letters stick and I ain't wastinng anny
more time correctting my writes!!!!!!!

I was not going to mention that Bumper sticker again that says "Support
Higher Education send a cop to kindergarten." But everytime I see
posting with that many errors I think it and it makes me laugh. No
offense meant or intended. Thank you for making me laugh today though.

I knew I should have made the corrections, now I'll always bear the
stigma of being an idiot! Let's see a little compassion for the 44 year
old mentally challenged guy who has posting problems!!!!!!

No not at all I just wanted to say thank you for making me laugh. I
figured I would share the thought with you as you might find it humorous
as well.

malfunctions!) was the word but (spelled as butt!!!)

Dear 44, I know exactly what you're saying. I have a very hard time
being serious with a keyboard and a monitor. I know everyone is a real
person, but I think too many of us get so caught up in this that we
actually have put a personality, face and voice to the pictures we see.
I'm sure that many of the things said to others on this site would NEVER
be told to the person face to face. I grew up before computers so I'm
firmly stapled to the ground. Hell, I don't even trust my online banking
account.

I'd show up if other did that I wanted to see, if it were say in Las
Vegas (considering thats probably the cheapest place in the country to
Fly).

Sushi,
You don't trust your on line banking account?....
I took it a step further.....I won't bank on-line!


Sluggo,
Las Vegas would be perfect since airfares would be affordable
to almost everyone! But then again, Wingdale,N.Y. would suit my
pocketbook!!!!

vegas does sound good, would be kind of fun to meet every one, except
maybe spay, when I hear that name I just think what they do to female
pets.

sushi, I am with you on that on line banking, I have carried it one step
forward. there is a notation on my account, that even if a person has
all the right answers even my account # and my card #, they are not to
give any information. I must go into the bank in person with my card in
hand to get any information.
