Forgot: bet I could have had a decent drunk with **Guinestasia** (sp?) (RIP) and basically just razz her about the Penguins (NHL) for the majority of the sit. ---

@Guinastasia. Discourse doesn’t know she’s deceased. It still knows how to spell her name. Same with any other former poster back to the Earlye Dayes. ---

Not many… I mean, you’re all nice people, but I have no huge urge to meet any of you save for maybe those I’m friends with on Facebook, the main four that come to mind (that still regularly post) would be @Johnny_L.A @dogbutler @Biggirl and @swampbear Some others, like @pulykamell , would be obvious choices…save for I’ve already met them (although I miss him greatly on FB). Others I know the FB name of, but couldn’t tell you the name they have on here…and Im not about to list their real names in here, so…ya’ll know who you are. If we are friends on FB (Im Chris Nealon), then it probably applies. I think @OneCentStamp may be one and that @cmyk is another, but not sure. It’s embarrassing how I dont know their screen names,but only know their real ones, actually. Oh yeah, @Mahaloth . I wouldn’t mind meeting him, I think we’d have a lot in common. ---

Hey! What a pleasant email to receive. I used to go out and meet plenty Dopers but I’ve gotten old and reclusive and now I never leave me house. Everyone is invited to visit me if you give me a heads up. Well, not any time soon as I’m in the middle of moving out of state. But when things are settled. . .. ---

You misspelled @Northern_Piper and @Ukulele_Ike (or was that @Ukulele_Ike1 ?) If you start with the @ and a couple letters, then pick the name from the pop-up dropdown, you’ll spell it right every time. Not that it matters in this case as these two / three people are now inactive. ---

The only time I’ve ever met another Doper was under, shall we say, less than ideal circumstances. A couple of years ago I took a dream vacation consisting of a 2-day train trip from Seattle to Chicago, which was to be followed by a 4-day stay in the Windy City to see the sights. Unfortunately, I caught a stomach virus on the train, and on the morning of my third day in town I woke up violently ill, had several dozen episodes of vomiting and diarrhea, became so dehydrated that I went into hypovolemic shock and was at risk of systemic organ failure, and wound up spending a week in the hospital before I was healthy enough to fly home. @Folly was kind enough to go to the hotel where I’d been staying, collect my suitcases, and bring them to me at Northwest Memorial so I could actually dress myself once I was well enough to be moved out of the ICU. Infinite thanks to him. That being said, I wouldn’t mind meeting @J.Michael_Straczynski someday. 🙂 ---

And I’d do it again. And perhaps a third time! But that would be it… ( sorry, Futurama quote ) ---

I should contribute to the thread I guess. @pulykamell We should have coffee sometime and talk about turkey breasts. …I mean Hungary.
