Hello!

I heard that same story, but I can't recall when, so I probably shouldn't tell it.

What's up in your corner of FR?

'Night, Irish!
I'm sorry I wasn't more fun, but this migraine is getting the better of me...
Maybe tomorrow ~~

I'm terrible with math as well.
Throw numbers at me and I need to reboot my skull every few seconds.
But gadgets I find cool.

And to think, I was going to get involved in an ex-gay cowboy thread!

Are we still in the Castle?

Of COURSE we're still in the castle! Happily on our way to Mars, in fact!

You have been missed...

I get a blue screen of death in my eyes, and say "beep".

Yah...that's close to what I get...except the "beep" is more like a "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz."

Right...No one to do hackneyed caricatures of dictators that everyone is already sick of; no one to post random lines from great works of literature for no apparent reason at all; no one to test the bounds of irrelevancy...

I get the "Hunh?" as well.

But you have to admit, you ARE unique!

And we are SO lucky to have you!

*hugs*

I'm kinda jealous of those who 'get' math easily.
I can slog through it, but I get the beep and hunh right before my eyes glaze over.

I admire people who can do it in their heads. I struggle with a calculator and still can't make it work like it should.

*sigh*

I have a death touch with technology.
I''ve been extremely lucky that my computer stays working.

But you have to admit, you ARE unique!

Euphemistically speaking, of course. "Was" and "am" can be two different things.

I DID use the present tense...I consider you unique, whether you are "here" or just lurking. And I think your sense of humor is exceptional.

(For what it's worth...)

I haven't been lurking at all. It isn't my thing.
