True but I'm not sure we're all gentlemen.

Actually, I'm not sure all the women are ladies either but that's not
necessarily a bad thing IMHO. ;-)

Indeed.

I resent that. We are ALL proper ladies around here, but when you get the
old **** coming in and being a complete dork, some of these fine ladies turn
into psycho-bitches.
Keeps things real around here.

(No offence to any of you ladies out there! :Þ lol)

You don't need to do that but I respect your freedom of choice so resent
away. ;-)

Old ****?

> Keeps things real around here.

Prolly depends on your definition of real I'd say.

As if they'd take offence at anything posted in a newsgroup anyway. :-Þ

Haha should have put the classic "el-oh-el" with that first line...

Nothing came to mind... I was really at a loss for words when I thought
about some of the garbage around here lately.

Real as in 'real entertainment' at times. My life, lately, has been full of
stress, dead pets and no time. It's nice to come here and be able to read
something that seems more like a real life than what mine has been lately.

Haha, you're totally right.

I think most folks in here probably know me by now, don't you?

Fair enough.

Good point. :-)

I can empathise. Sounds like you've been having a rough time.

I know *that* feeling too. At various points I think my life wouldn't even
have been good enough to be a bad novel.

Just keep that in mind and we'll get along just fine. ;-)
