No fair, **wring** , I posted _to_ you about those facts. 🙂 The notices I mentioned were just happenstance. I retain my GhostPoster title.

People flirt with me all the time IRL, but never online. Must be my font or something.

Yeah. Every time I read one of these threads and I’m not mentioned, I think to myself

“Must not 'ave made an impression.”

Oh well. Luckily, I don’t care! Hee-haw!

The only time I’m mentioned in a flirt thread is after I insinuate myself into it by flirting with someone already there. That’s fine though. Totally all right.

FWIW, **A girl** , you are, what in some circles would be called, a _stone fox_.

Ggrrrroooowwllll!!!

Hm. Does posting your photo somewhere on page 3 in that [AmIHotOrNot.com](http://AmIHotOrNot.com) thread count as having made it into a flirty thread?  
'Cause otherwise…  
(although apparently I learned I need to smile more. hmph)

Yep,I am flirtless, too. I’ve been posting for well over a year and am yet to make any sort of impression. Oh well…

I myself am oddly unflirted with. Can’t be the mod thing; Euty, Coldy and John Corrado have people of both genders flinging undies at them.

Can’t be my name; what’s dead sexier than a woman named after a dingbat male economist? Who was stone ugly and a reclusive twit when he alive, which he hasn’t been for a long time, so we can assume his apperance hasn’t improved much. (Though death may have actually improved his personality.)

Can’t be my picture on the People Pages, because it isn’t there. It’d _prove_ how physically adorable I am. If it were there. Which it isn’t. It got lost in the mail. My computer ate it. My dog ate it. _I_ ate it. (burp!)

Well, after being ignored in that fashion for months, I have basically thrown myself at the mercy of Welfy, and am awaiting her reply…

Until such time, I am also alone…

and lonely…

and naked.  
Hmmmmmm… maybe I’m intimidating… ah well, hey A girl, great thread idea…
