Missed opportunity!!!
R.A. Lafferty has died (in 2002, so it’s not like I missed it *recently*) but he lived (until he died) in Broken Arrow while we were there, and I never knew it.

I’ve done both. Actually, I prefer the latter approach.
This email struck me because my friend is not and never has been associated with the military, and seldom ever voices her political opinion.
After 60 years, I learned something new about her!! :o]
If a person is much smaller or weaker than I, kicking them would be uncivilized, no matter how obnoxious they are. If the person is bigger, kicking would be unwise!
And aside from the kicking issue, there are some excellent thoughts in the list.
True. I like the list. I could have taken out the kicking parts. But I’m not awake yet.
I’m as awake as I’m going to get! I refused to get up and feed the dog at 4:00 a.m., but the kitten turned up wanting to sleep on Frank’s head.
Seeya, Bill wants the computer.
I tried, it’s hit its limit now.
Oh, wow! Correct apostrophes! Please stay as long as you want, and you don’t even have to bring brains.

IF it’s not a ping, then what *exactly* is it, huh?
A banner. You’ll note that all the ping text has been removed.
Thread. Full stop.
Got it - a banner. It’s good to have the vocabulary to make these fine distinctions.
If things went well, he could avoid the sand traps. They were such a bother to rake out afterward.
I once issued a list ping with a visitor’s name included and he thought I had added him to the ping list. I try to avoid that; I don’t like being arbitrarily added to ping lists.
I'd file for a name change...
We discovered, to our dismay, that dragging a tread along in zombified form past thirty thousand posts bogs down the system.
(Oops)
So upon further reflection and discussion, we decided to leap from thread to thread at the end of each month.
Preferably it would be a thread posted by a troll that we would set up shop in and turn to our purposes.
Such as they are.
(General chat and discussion about literary pursuits and brainstorming bizarre sci-fi ideas. Among other things.)
We’ve been a victim of our success, as trolls have learned not to post threads close to our moving day.
So we’ve had a donated thread or two along the way.
Welcome aboard, and enjoy the show.
As always, we aim to entertain.
(And if we give this thread more exposure by our circling in holding pattern, then full speed ahead.)
Like this?
LOL, something like that.
HALO jumping into a thread and taking it over like pirates would be more apt.
But with this thread we’re in holding pattern.
Just wish we’d find a worthy dishonoree for us to descend upon.
I know, patience.
