VANITY!!!! IF I SEE ONE MORE STUPID ONE LINE VANITY FROM NEWBIES I'LL QUIT FR!!! VANITY!!!!!!

[annyokie]

There is already a doggie ping list. FR mail HairoftheDog.

I am cheesed about all the new breathless "DID ANYONE SEE THIS!!!??!! threads.

[humblegunner]

I said I was a newbie....but long time lurker....

EVERYONE claims that... it simply cuts no ice with me.

[MoJo2001]

Management? We have management? Sheesh!! Who knew?

All kidding aside, this is a good thread for venting and goofing off. I know I'm about tired of this Election. I just want it over with a Landslide Bush Victory. WooHoo!

[Mister Baredog]

16.5% can't decide....directly proportionate to the number of morons in america.

Larry Elder says 10% of Americans think Elvis is alive and 6% think if they send him a letter he'll get it. Maybe they're waiting in line at the post office, LOL.

I like your pings and I believe you post them in blogs, where they belong.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I would like to ignore them, but a lot of them are not identified as vanities in the title. Most annoying, when you open something thinking it's news and you find out it's actually nothing but a random thought someone had, thinking it worthy of its own thread rather than a post in another.

Prayer is a powerful thing.

There are certain things we joke about a FR.

PRAYER THREADS are not one of them

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

P.S. Thank you for having made it clear this was a vanity. : )

[MoJo2001]

Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh!

That annoys me too.

Hey!! On a better note, the Packers are doing a BOO YAA job on the Cowboys.

"Just seems somewhat selfish to me....although I certainly would pray for them"

If your prayers had ever been worth anything or meant anything to you, you wouldn't wonder that some people find them neccessary, helpful, and benefitting to the pray-er and the prayee.

Try "Admin Moderator" for all YOUR newbie problems! It KILLS TROLLS DEAD!

[annyokie]

I knew it was only a matter of time until you guys showed up.

[annyokie]

Smooch!

[Mister Baredog]

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Watched it. : ) (That's my kind of game, MoJo!!)

[MoJo2001]

It's not a game. It's a practice session. LOL!

Either way, my Sailor isn't happy. LOL!

[w1andsodidwe]

Exactly right. I have gotten attack on several vanity threads for mentioning this. Thye Admin Moderators must be overwhelmed.

Since so many of you don't like the newbies (like me) who join this wonderful forum does that mean that you once did not like yourself when you were a newbie? When does one go from being a newbie to an oldie or whatever you call yourselves?

Said that since he'd been around the internet since the early ninties he found the term insulting.

I was being interviewed over the phone by an author (-- a lesbian from San Francisco, but that's probably not relevant, although she felt compelled to tell me, so maybe it is or was --) who needed somebody to contribute some chapters and do tech edits on an HTML book. She had to establish that she was the expert because she'd been online longer (bulletin boards didn't count, in her opinion). So I gave her that one. (Why argue about the small stuff when there's work and money involved?) Then she let me know "AND I've been writing about computers since 1990!" Later on in the conversation, I let it "slip" that I'd published my first computer article in 1984, had my first article published in a national computer magazine in 1986, AND had first worked on computers in 1969. (I still didn't get a byline for my work, however, because I wasn't the "expert." I love working with those from the other side who don't like labels!) ;)
