Stretch, I hope that you enjoy your time here. It has been fun and informative for me, although I tend to become so preoccupied with not making spelling, punctuation and grammar mistakes that I inevitably make stoopid mistakes, as I did in my last post to this thread. For example, I do not know how to type the first letter of your name, sorry. I have found that posting to other’s threads is a good way to test the waters and get a feel of this place. Beware, there are sharks and pirates hiding amongst the friendlies! Sort of a “fins to the left, fins to the right” sort of atmosphere at times, but definetly entertaining and informative.
Chefguy I’ll let you off this time, as I also have an evil twin who is responsible for all the things I won’t own up to. Yeah, Hollywood chickened out, and we lost both a lot of revenue as well as the opportunity for some locals to play extras. Sheesh, what’s so bad about being waterbound for a couple of weeks while the mountain belches?
The correct spelling is goings-on, so you were at least right about the “no apostrophe” part.
As for the first letter of $tretch’s name, the dollar sign is the shift option for the numeral 4 key on most keyboards. The line through the S is solid on the key, but the character definitely* has just the little segments at the top and bottom when the post appears on the board.
*I realize you didn’t “open” your most recent post to this thread to corrections, but since I mentioned the common misspelling definately in a recent post about pet peeves, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to insert this reference
I see what you mean about not jumping in with both feet right at the start. But it sounds like you are doing better than I am.
I jumped in with both feet… And I don’t think they liked my feet very much, I got a thread closed and lots of rolled eyes and comments that were… not designed to make me smile. I’m now working on being able to talk and be ignored… How do you do it?
And on the bondage and sheep sex… I got all of that and I think I only mentioned breasts (which I must admit, I wouldn’t do in front of strangers in person, so why should I think it’s ok on the internet? They do have a point).
Beginning, end, it doesn’t matter. I’m heading towards 7,000 posts now and managed to set a personal record yesterday by killing three threads: Here, here, here, and pissing off another poster who had some stupid rule in his OP about listing more than one Seinfeld name (I apparently killed that one, too, since nobody has returned to it since my little faux pas.
Ahh! Now there are so many replies in this thread it’s making my head spin! Hee hee, I guess you can’t win either way. I’ll try to get cat pictures posted as soon as I wrangle away my camera away from the friend I loaned it to. Stupid :wally is taking so long with it!
May I suggest that if you’re sensitive to rejection, that you never make the mistake of posting in one of those ‘Do you recognise the doper above you’ posts that periodically turn up here.
Speaking as another one who never gets recognised (and there are a lot more of ‘us’ than there are of ‘them’!) I strongly advise you to keep far, far away from those threads. It’s a little rough on the ol’ ego even for me - and goodness knows I’m blessed with an abundance of self-confidence.
