There was to be an Arizona Dopefest… SanguineSpider and child did not attend… can you guess why? _wink_ Tee hee! Really, my kiddo was pretty sick, snotty nose and everything but some of my posts and threads made me wonder if I should _EVER_ attend a Dopefest! Perhaps I will get the chance one day, “OMG” posts and everything. Most of the pals I’ve made here (assumption) don’t live in Arizona, regrettably. So **MOVE** you guys!! Actually, I consider a lot of you a pal (not going to list ya). Anyone that doesn’t “yell” at me via the board, is on the pal list. Now… in reality, the numbers are probably very small but I can dream can’t I? ---

I don’t do TMI stuff – what if my sainted mother were to read it? – so the times I’ve regretted posting have been times when I’ve royally lost my temper and turned the flamethrower to “11.” Sometimes words that the red haze in my eyes makes appear to be Righteous Wrath, look a lot like Hurtful Bitchery when I’ve cooled off. I’m trying to be better about this (with some success, but not total success). But yeah, there’s a coupla things I wish I hadn’t said. ---

I have to echo **Jodi** - I don’t venture into TMI territory, but there’s a few Pit threads out there I’d love to delete. Late night thing - then I wake up the next morning, and some thought enters my brain: did I really say that? 99% of the time, it turns out I did say it out loud. Tonight’s regret will be my decision to post my picture (no, I’m not telling y’all where.) ---

Many many posts… far too many. Thankfully they’ve become less frequent. ---

I notice lately that I often see a topic that annoys me, absolutely need to respond, write four or five sentences, and then realize that I have nothing to add. And delete the post unsubmitted. Come to think of it, probably I should have done the same thing with this one… ---

No, never. That’s why I have a ridicuously low post count even though I lurk every day. ---

I don’t often post and regret it later. This is because like many others, I often start posting and get a couple lines then realize that nothing to say. Kinda like right now. Of course, I should also learn to stay out of the TMI threads. So far nothing has come back to bite me in the butt, but if I’m not careful you never know what might happen, or who might be reading. This post was written (spoken?) using my new Dragon NaturallySpeaking software. Yes, I bought a new toy and yes I think I’m in love. ---

No, not yet. However - When I first got my hamster, I spent a good half hour poking it in the bum with a sausage. But it doesn’t really matter if I regret this tommorow morning. All this is an anonymous (for most) means of spreading information, and whenever you can, “teh funnie”. If I should happen to regret too much or get banned, there are plenty other proxies and necrophilia related names out there. God bless the internet, and god bless Al Gore.
