Not now! Apparently, it closes at night. Then's your best bet. But keep it short and unfunny.

I think we should all be much more mature about this. The "other" thread states quite clearly that it's for "mature" people, so you were quite out of order, cosmiccat, going in there and adding all those highly risible posts. Making fun of Flagg was quite un-selfdefensive of you, and editing your post to remove your offending remark after he had already quoted it was completely inoffensive, don'tcha know, what, what!

It's no good. I cant keep this up. This thread makes no attempt to be serious - yet we are, when it is needed.

I apologise to Postperson. She has attempted to set up a different thread. I do say it was quite a brave attempt. From reading it, I'm sure cosmiccat did not set out to destroy it - far from it. Up to the point where she put in her little monologue, the thread was utterly content-less. Unfortunate, but true. Instead of being welcomed as a content contributor, CC got evacuated upon, from a great height. What a mess. I re-apologise to Postperson.

Can we get back to the fun now?


Thank you Lau. Quite an accurate description of what went on. I truly entered that thread with the idea to help move it along, make it an interesting place to visit. But you are right, it's time to get back to the business of fun.

You are wise beyond your years! We're just here for fun, friendship, support, information, and all things positive anyway. Life is too short for getting snared and banned. Besides - there are enough problems in our lives in the outside world! We'll have them here on occasion just due to the fact that we'll occasionally misunderstand what each other is saying (being Aspie). But for the most part this place should be a place to unwind and get to know each other. And the longer we know each other and become familiar with one another's personalities, the less misunderstandings we will have.

When I found out this January that I am Aspie, I joined thinking "Wouldn't it be smart to become friends with others who share my condition, and seek their counsel and companionship throughout whatever time we will have left in this lifetime?"

I hope that we'll all be able to check in on each other, as often as each person decides is right for them, for as long as each person would like to do so.

And the fun is... we seem to be running at about one page per hour, so we have about 18 hours to go before our 200th page is filled.

For those that remember the 100th celebrations, they were just about enough to shut the thread down (they coincided with the shootings).

Knowing our collective luck, the up-coming 200th will be every inch as disastrous.

For the 100th, sinsboldly came up with the words and I immediately saw how to arrange them, and hence we found the theme for the occasion.

So... I have just had a PLAN! Anyone who cares to bother... PM me one letter (no. I mean one of the 26 letters of the alphabet, not a digitised version of a letter from Winston Churchill to Mahatma Ghandi), and as soon as I've got a few (enough... more than two?), I'll publish them back here (and beg you to stop). Then someone else can brainstorm something out of them... add letters, anagram it, whatever. Just an excuse so we can seed the random creativity. (I can't do this sort of this "to order". Last time was an accident.)

Hey Lau!

Good to see your good counsel, as always. I'm wound up tonight (would blame the wasp stings, but erm..., that would be a lie).

I've probably contributed substantially to your embarrassment in this situation. So I apologize to you, PostPerson, Flagg, and anyone else's feelings I may have just hurt.

I can already tell this is going to be even better than CFR (Chinese Fart Rag)! !! Hahahahahaha!
I'll bet the letters will be 16 of one kind, and 50 of the second kind. :)

But leave it to us. We'll make it into a party somehow. <Animal House> "We're just the guys to do it."

Much like the rest of the world, I just stumble along.


Naw, they know how to stop multiple accounts. Unfortantly some of us know how to get around it. One way you'll just plain run out of other computers to post from. Not really the computer, they ban me here, we have 3, I need 2 going at all times, can't multitask, but I need it, I still couldn't make another from this house (IP address). The other is pretty much illeagal, doesn't take much of a threat to stop that one. So yeah they know how to stop it. I mean after all there are probably more geeks around this place then, well, some other places.

I like Bob Dylans version of that last line a little better. "I keep on, keepin on" Probably mangled it, pretty sure it's from his "tangled up in blue" song.

Rule number 428 - Zanne has five brothers so when she wacks a guy, she means it. Let the guy beware.

A problem for one truly is difficult for both. I admire all women who stand by their injured/ imperfect husbands, and vice versa.


We are all imperfect. People who think otherwise are seriously deluded.

Yes, flagg brought it up on the other thread. Is Flagg a moderator? I never know who anyone is. I can barely remember the names in here. This is why I always dated men with the same names and who looked alike. The trouble was, they all figured that out!

Lemon and I secretly talk!

Coffee dude! Get gwferuson a drink and something to eat!

Go ahead and tell coffee dude what you want, gw. He's been bad so he has to serve us here in the Dino cafe. If he's bad, just tell me and I'll wack him with the riding crop.

Oh and welcome.

Not a problem! Of course, we do things the old-fashioned way in these parts . . . now, where did I put my hammer and chisel?


Here, let me take mine out for you. I had my hubby put in a door and hinge long ago for just such cases.
