I'd like everyone to meet Evry1sMom. She's a good friend of mine whom I've been talking with for about a year via IM. I think she'll fit in quite nicely. So, flame her a little to make her feel welcome. Here's your Mom!

Okay, well, she was still signing up when I introduced her, and she is having problems getting her password. Aren't I red-faced.

She'll be here, I promise. She had to take her kid to the doctor's while she waited for her email to work. I really didn't plan out this recruiting thing very well.

Mom. the decision has been made.

Besides, you'll love it there. They have Bingo and Euchre, and you'll have a TV in your room.

Of course we'll visit.

Hey, it's not my fault. It's not hers, either. Her damn email kept on pulling a 404 and she couldn't get her password. she said she was done when I posted. But she's online now, and I'll try to get her over here.

Just admit you made her up. She doesn't really exist and the sooner you realize that the sooner you can begin getting treatment for your psychosis.

"Hey, it's not my fault."

Uh huh. The old Richard Nixon dodge. Well, it didn't work for him and it ain't working for you.

Do you have any other imaginary friends? Maybe a 6 foot tall rabbit?

Babar --

You haven't been seeing any 6-foot white rabbits lately, have you?

Any strange interludes with Claude Raines?

It's okay to have an imaginary friend, just don't start introducing her to the other children, okay?

Is there any purer love than the love for mother? I don't want to even begin to think about what you're insinuating.

And you used <font color=00FF00>all three</font> of them in a single post. You might want to warn Mom not to stand next to you for a while, until the curse wears off.

Hi Mom! Can I get my nose pierced? Oh come on, all my friends have their noses pierced!

YES I'd jump off a cliff if all my friends did it! Geez! Why do you ask me that every time I want to do something fun!

I'm going to the library now, okay? YES the library! YES I'm telling the truth! Man, tell just ONE LITTLE FIB....can I go now?

See you later! YES I'm wearing clean underwear!

Another mother. Great. That's all I need.

Seriously though, welcome. If Babar vouches for you, you must be OK.

So are you a Wendy and Peter Pan kind of mother, or the dreaded I-had-such-high-hopes-for-you kind?

Mom, let me warn you about a couple of the posters here.

WallyM7 is fine, but when he talks about the voices in his head, just nod and smile.
Ukulele Ike talks with his mouth full.
Babar714 has a tendency to make up imaginary friends.
UncleBeer will pretend to be nice to you, but don't turn your back on him, because then he'll denigrate you with his clique.
Eve is actually a dominatrix, so don't get in a thread alone with her.
The moderators will say "this is a nice friendly environment", but as soon as one word passes your lips that's mocking/critical of one of them, whoosh! you're out the door.
Never use the word "fat", "evolution", or "god" in a post, otherwise you're in for big trouble and a never-ending thread.

I have much more information available on the regular posters. E-mail me privately and I'll give you the straight dope.

I've fixed that. Today at lunchtime I walked backwards under a ladder and crossed the street right before a black cat ran across it. But thank you for your concern.
