I've got to check THAT out!

DD, I know you won't be back until tomorrow, but I just wanted you to know that I pm'd jessie50, smokey stover, sumanadevii, minou and Tracian (I tried Lyvia and LisaM22 but their mailboxes are full) and told them that you need company over here during the day. I'll try Lyvia and LisaM again tomorrow.

I also told THEM to pass the message on to anyone else they can think of.
I hope there'll be some company here soon!

[quote="Qubilai"]Ah, that's "Qubilai", as in the feared Mongol leader.

I'm a newbie, although I'm as old as the hills. I knew your grandfather. In fact I named my cat after him. I acquired him thus: my wife and I had a black cat that we loved, named Boston Blackie. He disappeared, and our searches proved fruitless. So I posted a message about losing him on trees and poles around our block. They were up only about a half-day before the police politely informed us that they had to be removed pronto, that is, before 5 p.m. Even though the posts were up just a few hours, we received numerous phone calls. Many of them all pointed at the same cat, who bothered people by walking home with them and wanting to come in. One lady said that she new this cat wasn't ours, but would we please come and look at him. Turns out she wanted to get rid of him because he was bullying her little female cat. We drove to her house, saw that it was true, and when she said, "Please take him," we looked at each other five seconds, and I picked him up. We named him Genghiz Khan because of his leadership qualities and fearful demeanor. (I know I spelled it wrong--on purpose.)

HI smokey!

So I got you over here...and where is DDawg?
This is why people who know me never leave anything up to me!

I hope she'll show.

By the way, Qubilai (whom you know better on the CTV Boards as "Uriel," now "Doc Holliday") was being facetious about "the Japanese fella." HE's someone you already knew, also in a previous incarnation, as sansecular.

Oh, crap, my computer is screwing up again. Maybe it IS the machine and not the ISP. Damn.

quiscalus, thank you for inviting those folks! FYI, this is Tracian's board (not sure if you knew that). She doesn't seem to be here a lot lately, though.

Smokey Stover, welcome! Good to see you here! I hope you'll stop by regularly. I've enjoyed your posts on CTV. Yes, I'm a Durhamite (Durham, NC). And although I'm female, I prefer "dawg" to "bitch." I was DurhamDawg and then DDawgGone on CTV. I joined the CTV boards to follow the Mike Peterson murder case a few years back. I spent 4 years on CTV under the two nics before finally getting my fill of CW's overzealous and capricious moderating. I saw a lot of good, intelligent, funny, decent people run off those boards by CW.

I hope we can step up the level of traffic on this board to something approaching what CTV gets on its religion boards. The moderating here is reasonable and even-handed, which is a nice change of pace from CTV.

Isn't bangoskank sansecular's nic here? Anybody know for sure?

DD, I know you won't read this until tomorrow. I knew it was Tracian's board, but since she didn't seem to be visiting much herself lately, I thought it would be good to let her know you are here as well.

I'm going to go try Lyvia and LisaM again (and I'll ask them to clean out their pm's if I still can't get through), and I'll also ask Beach of Dreams and Details.

It phuqing pisses me off that she banned me the last time, especially since there were no real heated debates or discussions going on.
