You know she is a man don’t you? ha hah a
I’m afraid this has been asked and answered back on page one.
Sounds kinda familiar. 
Preach it, sister!! Amen!
See? I told you you were a sweetheart. 
You’re welcome. I just call 'em the way I see 'em. No charge for the tips, either. Every board is a little different. As for the multiple quotes, Copy-And-Paste is your friend. Of course, you can only do that in the preview window. But, you’re not off by much; you just left out the /'s in the closing tags. They should be **
[/QUOTE]
. Preview also gives you the opportunity to correct your typos, should you choose to (and, some people get pretty snotty about them, so you might wanna consider it), as well as giving you access to a bunch of toys.
Stranger in a Strange Land was one of my favorite books, as a teenager. Life-changing, in some ways. I haven’t re-read it in years. But, I think I grokked it well enough that I don’t need to.
Wouldn’t think of it. At least, not unless she wants to make love to it, our first time. Assuming we get to that point.
Well, kinda. That was “used to be a man”. That’s a little different. I draw the line at men who are still men.
whiterabbit’s maternal unit checking in here. We didn’t KNOW she was going to meet a guy when we all went out to the comedy club the other night! We were going to see another comic, who’s a friend of MINE! Excusez moi for being present when sparks flew! (But you notice she never gave me credit for passing on her phone number via my friend to this nice young man???)
Anyway, the shoe thing. I have to admit I HAVE sat with female friends and discussed guys’ shoes. But strictly in a professional context – i.e. sitting in a courtroom as the reporter, and later discussing with the clerk the really nasty soft wrinkled loafers one of the attorneys was wearing. If you want the professional power look, those are NOT the right shoes. Same thing for suit collars that leave a half inch of clearance behind the neck. Minimal tailoring is NOT an unreasonable thing to expect since most men’s suits are tailored for free – unless you’re buying them at K-Mart, of course!
Well, congratulations, Davebear and whiterabbit! It’s always so good when the good ones win…
Typos???!!!?? I gots Typos??? :eek: :eek: I had No Idea!!! Is there a treatment for it? Can I just get drugs? Do I have to abstain from key-boarding till they’re cured? ;-Þ
You really figure I’d notice them in “preview”?:dubious:
Yo Mama! No, wait. That’s not right. Hiya, Mama. That must have been some crossbreeding experiment! What the heck species was the paternal unit?
LOL! Now that you mention it…
Yeah, I hear ya’. My horror, when I learned recently that one of our project managers was wearing the same ratty, broken down, boat shoes he wears to our office while visiting a client (!!), had the rest of the guys in stitches. I mean, these are some nasty, ratty looking shoes! I couldn’t imagine ever going to see a client in those shoes. I’ve seen street people with better shoes!
Okay, wiseass. But…ahem… I did notice that this is the first post of yours that I’ve seen that didn’t have any typos. Well, except for the one smilie. Must be a coincidence, huh?
Oh, and for the nightly update; still no reply to my email. 
Strange crossbreeding indeed, what can I say? Actually, I started off here at SDMB as candy (butrscotch), but in a moment of epiphany realized that my true vocation in life is as a mama tiger for my young. whiterabbit actually comes from candy, too (have you ever had it? The most addictive candy I know of), so it makes more sense in that context!
I’ve known people who don’t read their email for days or even weeks. Weird, strange, peculiar, and, if you ask me, ought to be illegal. Everyone should have a chip implanted in their brain that says, “You’ve got mail!” and keeps saying it till they respond, especially to MY mail! (Or, in this case, YOUR mail!)
Wyatt, while the goal here is perfect typing (as well as grammar and spelling, not to mention avoiding attracting folks like the Fat Police[sup]TM[/sup] by intemperate references to people’s size), fact is that most of us are far more eager to just get our words of wisdom out there than proofreading our own posts. I’m practically the queen of screwed-up coding, due to my fast-but-sloppy typing techniques. So just learn to :smack: yourself periodically when you screw up, like the rest of us, so nobody calls you a :wally!
:smack:
Got it! 
Yes, I remember when you made the switch. But, I had no idea there even was such a thing as whiterabbit candy. What’s it like?
Yeah. It’s driving me insane. It’s annoying when people don’t respond in a reasonable (to me) amount of time, under normal circumstances. Under these circumstances, it’s excruciating! I think I may send her another one, today, if only to find out if she got the first one. It didn’t bounce back from the server, so I assume it got delivered.
Hi Sherri! You can stop lurking, now, if you’re still following this thread. It finally dawned on me why you were smirking at me, last night.
It’s two words, but White Rabbit is an Asian candy. (I think it’s made in China, but I could be wrong, and I don’t have a bag to look at right now.) It’s this white chewy stuff. I know that doesn’t sound terribly appetizing or descriptive, but it’s oddly addictive. I’m guessing you can get it at pretty much any Asian store.
I keep meaning to ask the mods to capitalize the “w”, but I keep forgetting.
And I never should have mentioned to Mama Tiger that I was in this thread.
That’s okay, us Mamas can always find our young.
awwww! Big hugs DB!!
Even without a mother’s instincts, I’m sure she knows how to do a search.
And the nightly update iiiiiiss…nothing. Still haven’t heard from her [sub]the evil wench[/sub]. Actually, I’m a lot calmer about the lack of response, now, for some reason. Now, I’m just disappointed, mostly. But, I sent her another email, partly because some response would still be nice and partly because I don’t when or where to pick her up on Saturday. Call me silly, but I think those picky little details matter. I know where she lives (I walked her home. Not sure if I mentioned that.), so I’m assuming that’s where, but I don’t know when.
I know! The sorts of things I haven’t been able to post lately…and it’s my own fault, I introduced her to the boards! Arrrrrgh!
No email yet, Dave? Well, could be a thousand reasons. Will you be comfortable calling her if you haven’t heard from her before Saturday?
And who’s Sherri? Did you name the aardvark?
I like the single rose vs the spring bouquet—no vase, lugging a boquet around all night…a single pink or yellow rose, or a more unusual color?
Thanks, CanvasShoes!
Sucks, don’t it?
No, still nothing. And, no, I won’t be comfortable calling her, but I’ll do so if I have to. I have what I believe is her cell phone number, but only because it was on the caller ID box. She didn’t actually offer it to me, so I’m hesitant to use it.
Sherri is my ex-GF, whom I suspect is keeping an eye on me, here. At least, I’m pretty sure she has read this thread, based on her behavior, Tuesday night, when she came over to pick up a few odds and ends, and have dinner. It never occurred to me she would do so, but there’s no other explanation for her behavior.
No name, yet, for the aardvark. I’m waiting until I know his personality better, so I can pick a suitable name.
Thanks. If they have them, I’ll probably go with a violet or peach color. If not, pink or yellow. But, I may be forced to go with red, if that’s all they have, as is often the case.
