Well, what can I say? From the last few pages of responses, it sounds like you’ve been having a very distracting time from your troubles. If that’s what you need, then go for it… you’ll need it. F\_X ---

Well, I suppose, if that turned out to be the case, I could still make it to the Dopefest, once I got done laughing, and left. Yep, they still have 'em.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Wyatt \* > \*\*Oh, and **D.Bear** I don’t think you need to take **FreeBe** personally. I also saw them show up in a another thread where they were having to spend a fair number of posts explaining that the harsh-reading thing they posted was just supposed to be funny. So, I’m thinking they just have a bit of difficulty descerning how their words sound, in print. \*\* Was that the whole ‘monogomy’ thread? She SO did not get it. ---

**Tanookie** said: > [@](#): > > You just noticed it got weird now? I think your threshold for weirdness must be higher than mine… Err yeah, prolly. 🙂 But yeah, only now has it gotten truly strange. From my POV & all - the current poster has actually a very high threshold for weird and bizarre things as long as they are neato-keen weird and not bughsit weird like some people’s weird coworkers who get nicknamed Moe in Seusslike poems. Spit? Swallow? Oh so glad to have missed that. _shudder_ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Davebear \* > Oh, and Robot Arm, she also suggested maybe I could bring a male friend. Of course, it’s the night of both the Dopefest and your bike ride. It’s unclear how many women will be there, but it would be at least three, maybe more. And, it sounds like they’re all available. Ooh, quite an offer, but I’ll have to pass. My social skills tend to drop off pretty sharply when I get around too many strangers. Thanks for thinking of me, though.

Tupperware parties _hmmf_ I prefer candle parties and lingere parties although I do also have a weakness for pampered chef parties. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Robot Arm \* > **Ooh, quite an offer, but I’ll have to pass. My social skills tend to drop off pretty sharply when I get around too many strangers. Thanks for thinking of me, though.** Aw, crap! I was hoping that having someone I knew, there, would keep _me_ from crawling into my shell. I’m the same way. I can do one-on-one, no problem. But, groups scare the crap out of me! I don’t know anyone else who comes close to fitting the parameters, though, so I guess I’ll have to go solo. I’ll just have to see if I can muddle through, because I’m not backing down. I wanted a different lifestyle, and this is certainly different. > [@](#): > > \*\*[sub]If you miss the dopefest, when are you planning to get your pie?[/sub] \*\* If I’m not there by the end of the evening, go ahead and eat it.
