<p>bluecroo, exactly. </p>
<p>So pull up a stool and we’ll start pouring. </p>
<p>Then we will quote awkwardly, wrongly, and with abandon.</p>
<p>There are strange things done
in the midnight sun
by the men who moil for gold . . .</p>
<p>Ooo, it works!</p>
<p>
I live in the same twilight zone as you, Alu. So it’s manual keystrokes for us. We’ll need something strong for fortification - whatever SB is pouring for blucroo.</p>
<p>Bummer. I hit control i and my instant messemger screen came up. Phooey.
I guess I’ll have to do these ** manually**
Yup, it works :)</p>
<p>I really, really want to quote! But, I can’t even figure out where to find the <em>!@##</em>! brackets on the keyboard and I haven’t had anything to drink yet!!! Am I missing something? Perhaps a few brain cells??</p>
<p>I have been hanging out in one of those political threads (we were talking about how the pres "misquotes awkwardly, wrongly and with abandon when he speaks) I had to get away! Sheesh! </p>
<p>m&sDad…tell me about the pledge while SBmom pours me something with a twist.</p>
<p>Blucroo-
If you have a standard keyboard, look at the two keys next to the “P” (lower case… the { and } are upper case on these keys)
And don’t say I didn’t warn ya about those scary political threads. The one I was lookin’ at yesterday must have gone south bigtime this evening, ‘cuz the mods seem to have erased its existence! Gosh- I put up with the craziness yesterday, and missed out on the debauchery tonight. Serves me right for venturing away from my computer. I’ll never go out on a Friday night again… I promise. I’ll only hit SA. Sorry for goin’ elsewhere… How about a glass of Chardonnay, please. And just curious, can anyone give a “cliffnotes” version of what happened in the “draft” thread??</p>
<p>jym…thanks. If those keys were any bigger they would have grabbed my fingers and used them for a swizzle stick. Ok let’s try it…
(drum roll…)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>m&sdad: tell me, tell me</p>
<p>It works! My children will be so proud!</p>
<p>blucroo-
SUCCESS</p>
<p>jym, that political thread (where I was lurking the last few days) did go south early this evening. Don’t you have it rigged up where you receive the messages as emails (the threads you’ve posted on, that is). Anyway, they were throwing words like bigot and homophobe around and a mod came on and said keep it civil and that was the last message I got. I can copy the last few and PM you if you are interested.</p>
<p>OK, a glass of cabernet for me. I’m learning how to

, too.</p>
<p>Hi tookie-
My filter does something weird to emails from cc. Sometimes they come, and sometimes they don’t. The only one I saw was “hey guys cool it-- keep it civil” (which piques my curiosity even more) but when I tried to open the thread, it was gone.
I’d love to have you pm the last few posts. Any chance you can cram them all into one pm to me, as I will have to do more cleaning out of my inbox. Its almost full. Thanks!!</p>
<p>Could someone please hit “B-4” on the jukebox (“Good Golly Miss Mollie”, by Little Richard) and pour aries a double? I am getting a little worried about her.</p>
<p>And tookie-
You are a sweetie- thanks!</p>
<p>Hey, lets all party hearty tonight- after all, we get an extra hour’s sleep. Is tonight the costume party in here?</p>
<p>Greetings all – back from Zurich after a 28-hour travel day (don’t ask… it involved Atlanta airport, though…) and my luggage has gone missing. (It was Delta: let’s see, who else lost luggage on Delta flights?) I had it in my hand to clear customs in Atlanta, then placed it back on the re-check belt after having an agent fix the crumpled transfer tags (during which process she made sure to stick the small tracking number stickers on two parts of the bag, so I <em>KNOW</em> it’s identifiable), so at least it made it over the ocean.</p>
<p>Now to figure out how to get back on Pacific time and read all those pages of SA that popped up somehow while I was gone. Right now, I’d be happy if someone poured me some COFFEE! Black and sweet, in the European manner, please.</p>
<p>Mootmom, I just did the about face, 24 over the ocean and back to the EU. My luggage made it this time. Not in August. It was a sad rush to the Bay Area for me at the beginning of October. Death in the family. But I have been granted a glorious sleep and have adjusted for the first time in a few days. A first for me. Maybe the fates knew I needed it.</p>
<p>Welcome back, moot. I was beginning to wonder as to your whereabouts.</p>
<p>Sympathies to you, overseas. But glad the fates are granting you some glorious re****l sleep.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear of your loss, overseas. Glad you re getting some well deserved and much needed sleep. I am curious, though, about the adjective that jmmom used whose internal letters somehow hit a censor screen. Can anyone decipher it and s-p-e-l-l it like that so it doesnt get filtered out?</p>
<p>mootie. Welcome back! I am so sorry you had the snafoos in our airport. They are building a new international terminal so that this silly thing of having to recheck the bags after they go through customs will end. If there is anything I can do here in ATL, let me know!</p>
<p>That would be R-E-S-T-F-U-L sleep, jym!</p>
<p>Dumb censors…</p>
<p>The word was rest ful (without the space).</p>
<p>Ahhhh… duh. Thanks patsmom. I think I need one of those cups o’ coffee too, please. The head isn’t awake yet.</p>
<p>*** and thanks too, over30. I feel silly. I tried several known bad words in there to “fill in the blank” and couldnt figure it out :o</p>
