I might. But I won't 'talk', I will 'take'.

Oops, damn spell checker got the spelling right, but didn't read my mind correctly!

Shyantra · 04-08-2007, 08:48 PM

Haha. Wouldn't that be cool if computers could read minds? *thinks about it and then gets a scary thought and screams* Nevermind.

Well I will go no more a roving tonight.

Is there a spell-check on Gnet? Sometimes I want to slap myself for the mistakes I make after finding them once the editing grace period, so to speak, has already expired.
That was a mouthful and I confused myself.

I use Mozilla Firefox browser, which has a built in spell checker. It underlines in red any word it doesn't understand, and then you can right click on the word in question to see suggested replacements. Quite handy.

Wanker! Ha! Thanks Humane-- Firefox is a cool program. I didn't know it had that capacity, though. I'm still using Internet Explorer.

Excuse me. What is an IMDB board? The movie boards? I don't get it. :-(

Vyvian Blackthorne · 04-08-2007, 10:03 PM

Internet Movie Database message boards. It's filled with a bunch of arrogant fugs, I used to be a member of it but stopped posting after the 'LOL EMO KID' messages filled my inbox.

mrs.wes straker · 04-08-2007, 10:05 PM

And why do I remind you of one of them? :-(

Vyvian Blackthorne · 04-08-2007, 10:11 PM

No, just the one post and that was a joke foremost.

mrs.wes straker · 04-08-2007, 10:14 PM

Sorry. I'm reaaaaally slow about, oh, eight percent of the time. I need to go to bed. Damned addicting internet.

Me too. I should have been in bed hours ago, have to get up at 3 AM tomorrow, but I was having too much fun and excitement since my grandson is visiting.
Like a slumber party. It's for sleeping but nobody wants to.

What's it like being a Grandpa? I can't imagine it because my children are so small, but I hear it's even more special.

edible_eye · 04-08-2007, 10:34 PM

I'm enjoying the various personalities on the boards, the more I read through the posts here. Thank you for welcoming me back, those who have. For those I haven't yet "met" - I look forward to trading words... well, with most of you, anyway.

It is such an endorphin rush! Multiple experiences simultaneously:

1) Every problem, every ache and pain, every stress completely disappears when you are holding your grandchild! He is a little pain killer he is! Yes he is, isn't he? Grandpa's wittle anesthetic huh? koochi-koochie....oh sorry.

2) Transitional: I went to sit down next to my daughter when she was in the hospital one day (she was there 3 days), and she told me "Dad, get off of there, I want him there!" pointing to her hubby. In other words, I was now the third priority man in her life, behind baby and hubby. THAT took a little getting used to, but it is the natural course of events and that is the way it should be. My daughter has her own little family now.

3) Realignment: for example, the topic came up in a family discussion that he would be of age to perhaps enjoy Halloween when the time comes (7 months old). So I said I will dress him up like a bat, his second cousin said a clown, and a huge debate arose over what the poor child would be for Halloween.
Then I noticed his dad (my son-in-law) looking at all of us helplessly. I hushed everyone and said "but ultimately it is Dane's MOM and DAD who will decide!".

Don't get me started or I will never get to sleep!

Hi! I saw you commented on my intro. I just caught it today, but I'm glad I'm getting the chance to acknowledge you and be sure you'll see it.

edible_eye · 04-08-2007, 10:41 PM

Thanx. You're the Jersey girl who lives in Florida now, correct?

Jersey is my old, stomping ground. Florida is where I want to live someday.

Anyway, thank you for saying "hi".

As for you, Humane - your grandchild is absolutely lucky to have someone as wonderful as you for a Grandpa.

That was thoughtful of you. What a good father-in-law. I am going to make myself get off of here at 2 if not before then. (Eek)

Really? Where in Jersey? Florida is....OK. We have nice winter weather. I think lots of people from the tri-state area dream of living in Florida. I know I did.

edible_eye · 04-08-2007, 10:44 PM

Jersey - Newark, South Orange, Ocean Township, Ocean Grove and Matawan.

Jersey kicks fuckin' ass.

mrs.wes straker · 04-08-2007, 10:59 PM

You just made me homesick. I now have sour grapes about Jersey and say it sucks because I know I'm never going back. I got here in 2004, and did nothing but obsess for the first year and a half on how to get back there. I went back for vacation and was like, man, people here are rude, it's cold, dark, boring, blah blah blah.....

Truth be told, I still get that cozy feeling when I think of it every now and then. I'm from Middlesex County/Princeton area. It's just too expensive and no one else in my family wants to go back. Oh well.
