Uh, you asking if its cloak time again?

-- (sonofdust@votes.yes), August 11, 2003.

Hellooooooooo..anybody out there???

-- SAR01 (busy@thepc.com), August 11, 2003.

So we're cloaked again. What was the problem?

See, Gayla, I told you that I lurked here.

Maybe when I finish the tech writing I'm now, I'll get relaxed enough to write a "post card" of Ohio's Amish Country in the fall. If I tried to do it right now, it'd be very boring.

I'd write things like there were 85 rotting wooden fence posts, erected in 1943, along the road to Kidron, instead of telling you that coming down the road from Kidron to Aaron Yoder's homestead at dusk, travelers will be greeted by a row of rotten smiles, the original fence line, curving around the Yoder property like it was laid out by a drunken workman.

Looks like I need to relearn some HTML.

Wow Meemur! You've been holding out on us all this time!

Can't wait to read more of your postcards! :-)

I can re-send the password to my list of FRLians, if you'd like.

Ok, what happened was this:

We got some poster doing weird posts on very old threads for a while now. If it had a link, I disabled the link but left the post. Then we got one telling us to do something unseemly -- with each other or with our individual selves, although I'm not sure which -- and I tried to just take that part out.

I got into Admin ok, but it wouldn't DO anything. So I cloaked us until TRICIA or KRITTER or GAYLA figures it out.

sniffle ... all I know how to do is hide us ... sob...

Helen, I think it worked, it just won't reset until midnight. Check it out tomorrow.

-- (just@helens.helper), August 13, 2003.

Is it tommorrow yet?

Is the check in the male?

-- Robert & Jean Cook (RobertCook@GA.herewith Lon), August 14, 2003.


No, it's not tomorrow. It's today.

You'll just have to trust me on this one.

-- (sonofdust@to.day), August 16, 2003.



But that was yesterday, in the last time zone.

Or the day after the night before tommorrow, in the next time zone, if you're behind the other international date line.

-- Robert & Jean Cook (RobertCook@GA.herewith Lon), August 16, 2003.


Ok, NOW it's tomorrow!

-- (sonofdust@to.morrow), August 17, 2003.

Not yet.

It's still yesterday.

-- Robert & Jean Cook (RobertCook@GA.herewith Lon), August 17, 2003.


Not yesterday where Carol is - it's tomorrow. It will be yesterday here in an hour or so, and then it'll be today where Carol is. Unless she's not upside down anymore...

-- Tricia the Canuck (jayles@telusplanet.ent), August 17, 2003.

Well cloaked Helen.

It's the day after tomorrow here now and the unseemly post has vanished or been vanquished or whatever. Thankyou to the vanquisher.

-- Carol (still@upside.down.com), August 18, 2003.



You're right, Carol. In fact, I think an award is in order. But first we've got to think of a name for the award. It obviously is a very prestigious award too, so the name should reflect that.

Ok gang. Let's think up a really fine Award name for our Vanquisherer.

-- (thesonofdust@award.nameneeded), August 18, 2003.


You're right Rob, it's a very important job keeping this place in order. The only title I can come up with is "The Duchess of Delete". Of course if Helen's helper is male he might prefer Duke. I'm surprised you haven't been inundated with ideas from all the original thinkers that visit here. I guess we are all at a busy point in life.

-- Carol (c@oz.com), August 22, 2003.

Yeah, Carol, I agree, but at least you came up with something good and practical too. Now if can only we can figure out if it is 'Duke' or 'Duchess'...maybe time will tell.

And you're right. It's kinda disappointing that nobody has participated in the title ceremony. I remember a time when this would have filled a whole thread and there would have been merry- making and happy posts and possibly even Glee. (Geez that makes me sound soooooo old). Oh well.

poopie.

-- (sonofdust@so.old), August 24, 2003.


Rob, my son. You ARE old.

But not as old as ME.......

hehehe... When I turned 50, I was talking to my mom, asnd indicated that it made me feel a LOT old, and she asked me how I thought it made HER feel......

Thwack, right back into reality.....

And as for titles, hmmm I'll have to think on it a bit to give it the proper gravity...... ummm wouldn't do to have too light a tittle would it?? Gotta have the right weight to tattles.....hmmm..

Hey Chuck, great to see that you're on this Title thing. I know that if you think about it it will all become perfectly oblivious to you. Why I rememebr when we bought this here house and the lawyer had to do a Title Search. Don't remember exactly what that was about...we stil just called him 'lawyer'. But anyway, if you're good at this Title Search thing then you might be able to make some real money, like as a sideline or something.

Maybe.

Just a thought.

Chuck The Night Title-Searching Driver? Hmmm. Nevermind.

-- (sonofdust@title.search), August 25, 2003.


DeDuke O'Delete?

(But only if from Ireland I suppose.)

-- Robert & Jean Cook (RobertCook@GA.herewith Lon), August 25, 2003.


Hey Robbie Red Socks, you're not old. And for future reference, the day you turn 50yrs. you wake up feeling exactly the same as you did the day before. The next day is another story because of the birthday celebrations.

Hee hee Chuck. Reality bites heh!. Nevermind. Age is only important for wine and cheese. Well that's what I tell myself when I accidently get too close to the mirror and wonder who that old lady is.

Maybe that's why our eyesight fails with age, it's kinder that way.

Good thinking Robert. I was going to suggest the neutral form Das Duke, but Helen's helper might not appreciate being neutered.
