Please meet my best friend in the world, mandi’s mind 101. I think I have accidentally hooked her on our little fetish, “the straight dope.” She is 20 years old and lives in Umatilla, FL. She has a 1 year old girl, and an annoying husband that loves her to death. She is slightly obsessed with trains, due to her working in a train store.
Please everyone give a huge, warm welcome to Mandi’s Mind 101…
Hiya Mandi! Nice to meet tubagirl’s “beatest” friend. I hope she doesn’t beat you too much…
I already email Unclebeer to fix it…

Hey there, Mandi’s Mind 101. This is an outrageous place to have fun. What a switch that a woman is the one who is into trains. I usually see disgruntled wives driving around with bumperstickers that read;
“Pray for me, my husband collects trains.”
I was going to write a book about locomotives once, but I got on the wrong track, lost my train of thought and ran out of steam…
:: bah dum bum ::
Why is she your beatest friend? Do you hit her? hehehe
Welcome Mandy!

Weird, when I came in there were no replies. I must hit refresh everyonce in a while.
Obviously it was supposed to say "beetest friend. Maybe. How 'bout we just go with “bestest?”
Damn you UncleBeer! Ruining all our fun. 
What fodder that would have been for sequential thread titles too…
OMG!!! She’ll kill everyone if you spell her name wrong!!! Aghrrrrhhhhhhh!!! Run for your life!!!
mand-i mand-i must spell right!!!
Hi Mandi~
Welcome to the best little message board online. Well, for me it is the ONLY message board online, but I tend to be somewhat sheltered. And if I got addicted to any OTHER message boards, I would have to quit my job. So, I am avoiding any other message boards out there.
Okay, I’ll shut up.
Hope you enjoy your time here as much as I do!

Welcome, Mandi! Please don’t be put off by how stuffy and proper folks seem around here. ::rolls eyes::
In other words, when people proposition you, feel free to flirt back, zing 'em back, whatever. Lame jokes about trains (I’m sure you’ve heard them all) entitle you to stomp the offender into goo. Anyone caught humming a certain Barry Manilow tune you get to flay with the rusty lid from a tuna can then roast over a smokeless fire.
:::faint music swells in background:::
Omigod, I can’t look!
–>Veb flees the carnage<–
My, aren’t we in a peculiar mood today? Rusty tuna can lid? Stomping one to goo? Methinks Veb has been taking some early nips of the brandy. Started our weekend early, did we?
Oh yeah: Scotti, you forgot a “D” person in your sig.
Oh, my heavens-
I just KNEW I was going to forget someone!
Well, I just didn’t think your sweetie would appreciate it if I included you.
(How is that for a save?)
Welcome. [obligatory newbie thing] You don’t want to know what felching and squicking are. [/obligatory newbie thing]
Have fun.
And don’t go into the pit or start a thread for ChiefScott consisting solely of smilies.

Brandy? Brandy?! That’s another godawful song that I’d mercifully forgotten.
Thanks, Demo; another welcoming thread shot to snot.
Mandi? You are welcome as jonquils in spring…so toss me that can of tuna while I wrestle with the can-opener, spray Raid on Demo’s bathroom spider (don’t ask) and line dance on Demo’s scratched record collection. (Barry Manilow Goes Heavy Metal: The Elevator Anthology.)
Nothing to see here, folks; move along.

Howdy to both Mandi and her Mind.

S’all right…she got the important “M” one.
Thank you for the warm welcome, and spelling my name RIGHT!!! Thanks for taking my back Lisa, she has once too known the wrath. . .
As for the song, I think its great, I have it on Kareoke.
Train Jokes. . .Well i dont know any, but I do know that there are and infinite number of old men with and infinite number of old lionels they got when they were a kid and an infinite number of stories that they feel they MUST tell my of what happened to them, because you know the one THEY had must be worth a million bucks my now or something.
Sorry about the Ghost Thread I shall research in the future.
Thanks again Lisa for introducing me!
Mandi. . .aka Mimi
Don’t worry too much about the ghost thread. There is nothing new under the sun anyway. Have a great time!

ahhhhh… she graces us with her presence finally… She obviously needs to understand that being a Doper is 24 hour experience and lifestyle. I’ll admonish her next time I see her
hurumph!
Now really, tuba dear, we should encourage Mandi to have a life, don’t you think?
