Well, unless you count 'Cecil Adams worship. I’m nervous. I feel like that bad kid the family moved away and left her behind. I imagine sitting in an empty house, peeling wallpaper and an old picture of lil’Ed hanging askew on the wall. Dust bunnies blowing across the floor. Don’t leave me behind ‘new’ Dope!! I promise to be good, good, good from now on!! ---

This reminds me: We need to make sure the posts and threads of the Left Behind Message Board war are still there and ready to move. The search function does not seem to be working. For some of the newer members, we were once invaded by the denizens of a fundamentalist Christain Message board dedicated to the preservation of the “Left Behind” books and movies. There intent was to cast out all of our demons and bring us to the light. A good time was had by all… ---

Beck, no way are we leaving you behind. If you’re not at the new site, I’ll go all Forrest Gump on you and rush back to fling you over my shoulder. Since I’m only 5’2, you may get some road rash on your forehead. Hope that’s OK. 🙂 ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Oh. Man. I did not know that… It was long ago–so long that I may have been just lurking before formally joining. Anyway, if I recall things correctly, they appeared in all the forums we had at the time, which was fewer than today, and they were a pain. I think that’s why GD is labelled as, “This is also the place for religious debates and (if you feel you must) witnessing.” ---

No, **Beck** , it’s okay. I’ve been getting those occasionally for the last few months. Nice break from the 502s/504s. 😉 ---

When my sister was a little kid, she had one friend she walked home with. One day, the girl came home with my sister, and she was crying. Momma found out that while the kids were in school, the parents had their house painted. Momma helped her find her way home. ~VOW ---

Awww. That’s sweet. I used to have a problem remembering where my locker was in high school. I swear they moved it around on me. I went a whole semester w/o a civics text book because it was it the moving locker. This kinda feels like that. ---

Hey, Beck, you made me do something I’ve never done before. I’m still not used to this new board, but I saw you started a thread in the BBQ pit so I had to read it and say ‘hi’. But I got to the end of it only to see it was closed for further comments. I thought maybe I should pit the closing, but then, that’s just not me. Anyway, hi! ---
