I guess I’m screwed… I didn’t take either. I say no to strangers’ candy… even though they have the best-tasting candy… ---

of course. Why would anyone I know want to give me poisoned candy? Friend: You need a ride to school? Me: No thanks, I’ve got my own car. That didn’t end the way you expected it to, with me dieing and such, now did it? Hmm. There’s candy laying here. I think I’ll eat it. _eat_ tastes delicioufsffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff (Uh-oh, it looks like I died and my head landed on the “f”. ---

Even though I’m dead, I’ll reply. Try holding down about 5 keys at the same time. Only one will repeat. I guess it should have been something like vcxzaserfffffffffffffffffffffffffffff ---

I was just thinking about this today. It’s probably all in my head, but it seems like everytime I post, no one else responds. I have also had many failed threads I have started. Maybe I am just too stupid for the SDMB? Any suggestions? ---

While I don’t think anything about my posts shows evidence of killing the thread, many times I have posted on an interesting thread, have provided what I thought was good input, and have then seen the thread sink down into oblivion without anyone responding to my post. I’m sure many posters have encountered this, including more popular posters, who are more likely to elicit a response to their post due to said popularity. ---

Hey, CD I thought you were dead. LOL I don’t know how other people edit their posts, do they? Are you sure? Maybe they just post perfectly the first time! LOL And if the bottom says vb is on, how come I can’t use it to post images? HMMM … verrrrrry peculiar… 😃 Mo - I wouldn’t worry about it. Sometimes you’re the bug, sometimes you’re the windshield. If I see any of your threads going down, down, down, I’ll make sure and post 🙂 Banger - That’s happened to me, maybe because I waited too long to get into the discussion and by the time I post, everyone’s said what theywanted to say and/or they agree so why counter post?
