YOU PEOPLE!!!
adr...@viaccess.net
of us? I'm supposed to be working on my business for my agency after I
put in 8 hours at the resort I work full time at. But no, I sit here
and lurk, answer, type, shift in my chair because I suffer from the same
disease you get....."hineyitis" <I know the spelling is probably wrong,
but what the hey>, forget and laugh out loud 1 a.m. when everyone in the
apartment house is sleeping <probably waking them 'cause my laugh is
LOUD!> And my doctor is worried about my cholsterol count. I'm supposed
to be walking to bring it down, etc., etc., etc., You think you have
problems. hmmmmmmmmmm :)
Join the club.
You know you love every agonizing minute of it! :-))))
me too!!!!
Peace,

Well don't look at me...I've been going on and off line quite casually today
and managing to get quite a bit of laundry and other housework done. :>

Yeah - well I was thinking about you the whole afternoon. I know what subtext
is , but I was wondering about smarm.
Then I thought, "Get a grip, T, and look it up. That's why you have a
dictionary." But of course, I rationalised that thought away in a big hurry,
deciding that your usage of smarm must have a special meaning that my OED
couldn't possibly begin to explain.
So, Trilly, what is smarm, exactly. Please define and use it in a sentence.

There is no end to this... I have gotten very little done in RL since
discovering ATH. If I didn't answer your instant message, it's because I bought
this handy program that automatically answers those annoying prompts from AOL,
so now I can stay signed on line for hours on end without being in front of the
computer. (ha ha AOL!) Only bad thing is, this has worsened my addiction - no
more automatic sign offs.

Should we establish AA (or in its fullest name AATH)?
Well, I have to say that some ATHers do show troubling signs of addiction,
and we are not going to name names (especially since, as you well know, it
takes one to know one...).
If we built it, would they come? Would anybody come to the weekly meetings,
and how committed they would be to break the addiction... I guess the AA can
offer free beer at the Bar - but I am concerned that this promotion might
generate some other addiction... Not to mention that some riffraff would
come only for the free beer... (and we all know what happens when the clones
drink too much!)
Apart from that the ATH is just too much fun. A burnt dinner here and
there, red eyes that are the result of lack of sleep and long stares on the
screen, and the occasional electric short circuit that is the result of a
liquid snorted on a key board are not that dangerous. Becoming an ATHer by
itself can not be too harmful, so my conclusion to my own debate is that
there is no need for a support group for ATH junkies, and if there ever be
one, count me out!

It's called "Highlander Back of Beyond" , first because "Down Under" was
already taken, and second because if it happens to be as weird as I think it
will be, it will surely deserve its name.......nuff said, we'll wait untill it
really happens before making comments.
On the other hand Jette, Margaret Edgar and our Berliner, Helga have arrived
safely in Paris, and are in the process of running everywhere, getting all the
good food they can get, shop till they drop, and more.....
Tiday they went to the Eiffel tower, Jette cautiously peered over the edge,
and.......no, she didn't tango, she said : "no thank you!"........Tomorrow they
are heading for the bateaux-mouche, maybe Helga will try and jump aboard....who
knows????
The con will gather a little bit more momentum with the week-end.....and more
people arriving from the US and the French working people getting a little bit
of freedom......and the highlight will be on Tuesday with our
guests.........but it's too early yet......when it's done we'll tell you all
about what there will be to say.....hell that's what happens when you organize
an unorganized con!!!!!! But that's the whole fun of it!

That's 'cause she's doing that foil-the-spambots thing. All you have to do is
remove the excess text...but I'm not going to do all the work for you here.

TBird, not to change the subject (again) but this reminded me of something I
hate yet continue to do.
Didja ever watch something you really like, such as HLTS, and you know you are
going to be late for work, or something really important , but you stay and
continue to watch it to the very end........EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE IT ON TAPE AND
HAVE SEEN IT DOZENS OF TIMES!!!!!!
It's as if, the story, like the computer, just reaches out and holds you in
your place for as long as it wants.
I hate when that happens!

Smarm refers to those warm, fuzzy, feel-good moments in a show, like when
Duncan and Richie hug. This is the fandom definition, so you may not find the
dictionary in agreement.

personal hygeine and maybe not die of anarexia or kidney damage while we are
playing in this here sandbox .... so... the suggested charter for ATHA...
- Shower and dress before checking NG
- Feed self before sitting at computer and bring snacks for later. More
importantly, make sure you have your coffee. (Tea, chai, whatever)
- Order computer desk chair with built in colostomy (LOL - like I could spell
that!) bag.
- Get divorced now while you still aren't too dependent on ATH. (Later you
won't even notice that spouse has moved out and burned all your HL tapes)
- Get a cot placed next to your desk so that you can try to get at least 4
hours of sleep a day, or so that it will soften the blow when you fall out of
your chair in exhaustion.
- Just give the kids away. It's not like you are going to notice them anymore
anyway. And they'll only try to lure you away from the computer with petty
requests like dinner and carpools to school.
- Buy a computer and keyboard cover to protect against spewage. (Ooops - did I
forget the spew alert?)
Any other bright ideas?

Good observation! I certainly don't want to be cured of my strong
feelings for Highlander or ATH <g>
*snipping some good suggestions*

I prefer getting the spouse involved in HL so they can share your
devotion, or ensuring they get involved with one of their own.
*more snippage*

Gee, isn't that what Aunts & Uncles are for? <eg> Come on, the moment
they were gone for too long you would miss them.

Oh, of course I would. Yesterday I wouldn't have. (It was a scream fest.)
But today they are all cute and cuddly again.
As for getting hubby involved in HL.... LOL. He is so jealous of ATH and HL
related anything (HATES PW) that he could never fully enjoy it. I'll just have
to dump him. <eg>
