<p>Lindsey has a good friend, Miguel, that she met when he was traveling in Jackson Hole. He sent her a newspaper article on his new rommate at Princeton. You guessed it, Simba-son. It’s a small, small world.</p>
<p>That is really funny. It IS a small world. :)</p>
<p>Well, the truth is starting to leak out. There are really only 1,400 or so people in the whole U.S., each armed with multiple jobs, screen names, etc. So the odds that we bump into each other is fairly high. </p>
<p>What about all the “others”? Mainly escapees from fiction or from one of the advanced “Sim” programs that was never released. And you don’t really get a good look at most people in crowds, which tend to be generated by the same computer technology they used in the “Lord of the Rings” movies. (Little known fact: Peter Jackson, himself, is in fact a “sim.”)</p>
<p>I always suspected that…</p>
<p>LOL TheDad. 
By the way, is your D. going to come home for a few weeks before school starts again?</p>
<p>Bandit talk about a small world. I live 30 minutes past you on I-30 going toward Texarkana. I really thought it was so crazy when I saw that some one else from my part of the woods was on this forum</p>
<p>Welcome to the club…Sulphur Springs???</p>
<p>Yes!! Home of the twelve foot cows!!</p>
<p>Hi, Carolyn. D has been home for five weeks, four left to go, including one of vacation next week. She managed to sprain her foot taking off on a jump in ballet last night…we have an appointment with the physical therapist at 8am tomorrow. All of us have had to adjust to her being home again…her schedule is not quite so footloose as she’d been accustomed to…fitting in her “up until 2am” inclinations with our workaday schedules has been ummm. Though much to TheMom’s disgust, my own bed time has been reverting to its natural night owl tendencies with D around…12 or 1 instead of 11. A marriage of Lark and Owl.</p>
<p>I hope your daughter is doing well with her recovery from oral surgery.</p>
<p>
Always on your toes, TheDad…</p>
<p>Anyone in here live in Dallas?</p>
<p>30 miles east…</p>
<p>Oh, that explains a lot, TheDad. So you are a real estate agent (unless I’m mixing you up with another ccer… or maybe you’re *also *the real estate ccer), an actor, and an old Jewish guy who likes tradition. :)</p>
<p>Are you going to take TheD to Smith? I have been dying to get your signature(s) for a while now. Just make sure to sign the “Pirates of the Caribbean” video, the playbill from the “Fiddler on the Roof”, and the printout of the CC homepage in different handwritings (and please don’t sign my video case “TheDad”!:p).</p>
<p>Do you think TheDad’s autograph reads Johnny Depp?</p>
<p>Of course. Don’t you? Or are you a Tevye believer? I’ll unveil the truth about TheDad’s identity once I have gotten the signatures. :D</p>
<p>(I have my fingers crossed for Depp!)</p>
<p>Yemaya, I thought I’d PM’d you back. No, D is going back to Smith on her own. The second year isn’t the Big Deal like the first and no Shopping is involved. </p>
<p>I have a number of signatures. In my first job after college, part of my duties involved forging the signature of a U.S. Senator…I could do both his formal and informal. I felt like the forger in “The Great Escape.”</p>
<p>:( At least when I finally finally meet you, I’ll get a lot of signatures! TheDad…Johnny Depp…Tevye…a U.S. Senator…all of the real estate cc-ers…curmudgeon…the president of Smith…maybe my friend Jennifer…You must be many people if there are only ~1,400 in the U.S.!</p>
<p>bandit - i went to harrisburg with my boyfriend a few weeks ago (a 5 year anniversery date thing), and when we were in line at this imax theater we started talking to the people behind us. it turned out that the woman lived three roads from here, went to our high school, and was friends with/graduated with my aunt. she also was best friends with one of my professors from college. it turned out that the guy was a professor at my college (and he taught the one course i wanted to take and didnt get a chance to), and the two kids with them had parents that taught at my college too. Talk about a small world.</p>
<p>Yemaya, quite often I’ll just make my mark, an “X”, instead of all those pesky signatures.</p>
<p>Probably a custom you adopted during the filming of “Edward Scissorhands”</p>
