Fred,
Leona, Denise, Dianne, Carol and Lynn are some of the finest women ever
to be found in a newsgroup. Pay no attention to Ken's warning -- they
are truly a charming, witty and personable group of women. Welcome to
the newsgroup!

Yeah, and he's getting all mushy on us saying things like
"Doves are traditionally used in ceremonies as symbols of love,
fidelity, peace and good fortune. Because doves mate for life they
also symbolize unity and the beginning of a new life together."
Real men don't say stuff like that. Real men shoot doves not
wax poetic about them.

Oh, I'll worry about that later. <puts feet up>
I'm just going to enjoy the feeling, because I mean, even if such
shrinkage does occur, surely I'll have enough warning to make the
deposit before any *real* damage occurs. I mean, what kinds of powers
do you *really* have? This is all just a game, right? Right. So, I'll

That reminds me. Rented "Mars Attacks" last week. My 7-year-old now sees
Martians everywhere! But hubby and I couldn't agree - when they did the
bit about releasing the dove and the Martians firing on it, was there a
particular movie they were spoofing, or just the whole idea of
doves-as-a-symbol-of-peace-and-such?

LOL Ken -- This is where I work as the "office manager" (notice the
lower case in that special title). I guess the sleeping quarters

refers to the lateness of my being here last night -- working on our
newsletter. So no, I'm not really one of them -- but I'm married to
one!

Two weeks ago, I attended a get-together organized by two people
who met online and then got married. He was in New Zealand, she
was in Colorado (now, both are in Colorado). If I think for a
few minutes, I'll probably be able to come up with a few other
couples who did the same. I know there was one here in Huntsville,
but the names aren't surfacing at the moment.
I've also heard of a few cases where one party of a conversation
made a unilateral decision, and showed up on the others' doorstep
with no advance notice and all their worldly possessions in hand,
ready to move in. Those situations rarely if ever result in any
kind of a relationship.

There are already two--Denise is not an Intergrapher, and Carol is no

We're also leaving out another net goddess of hsv.general--Leah Driver.
She's not an Intergrapher, either. And Ken--she's married.

If you have to look up the word "banter," you need to
see a neurologist about the early onset of Alzheimer’s.
Now, had she used "persiflage," you might have a point.

I could tick off the names of more than ten couples who've met online
and then married (I met a number of them at our wedding reception) . .
and I think my husband and I *are* the Huntsville couple. <G> But
if you come up with the name of another such couple who met this way,
and live in the area, do pass it along! (Can you imagine two such
couples living in the Huntsville area??)

And I thought I was pedantic. I presumed that "inflicted"
was just a misspelling of "afflicted." You presumed that
it was a usage mistake. Only Ken knows for sure. What
say thee, Ken?
Just out of curiosity, TJ, what kind of mistake would I
be making if I used "here" in a context that required
"hear"?

How can I when you spell "judgment" with an extra "e"? Okay,
okay, I realize some people (mostly Brits) spell it with the
extra "e." Still, it jumps off the page to me as an error every
time I see it.
Change the subject, hmmm. Did anyone see where the Huntsville
Times is offering people to try out to be a monthly columnist?
Someone sent me email suggesting that I try out. Is the times

I noticed the same thing. Maybe I'll make an alpha pendant and present
it to Dan at the lunch this Friday. Color? Scarlet, of course!

There's always "there's is" from a couple of posts back under the
"Interesting" thread.

You can have fun with me, or you can get your panties in
a wad. My opinion is that panties weren't made for
bunching into a wad, but for wearing on one's head.
YMMV.

I was thinking the color should be yellow . . . as in *yolks* on Dan.

I KNOW you are pedantic. Recall who originally pointed out Ken's
mistake...

For common mistakes one sees on the net, like to/too, hear/here,
its/it's, I put it down to a spelling or typographical error. But
"inflicted/afflicted"? That's got to be usage. I know it's a
subjective judgement. If you don't like it, change the subject. :^)

You thought right. People are not perfect and often make
errors in spelling and useage [sic].

So don't make one.

I strive to enjoy myself. I am almost always successful.

The usual idiom is "I couldn't care less."

No comment was required at all. Not only did I note that
it is also spelled "judgement," I noted that Brits
favor the extra "e." As a matter of fact, Americans favor
the one "e" version 2 to 1 whilst the British favor
the two "e" version 3 to 2. I learnt the spelling as
"judgment." When I see it spelt "judgement," I notice
just like you probably noticed that I spelt "while" as
"whilst," "learned" as "learnt," and "spelled" as "spelt."

We sure do. You don't realize who the alpha pendant is
in this newsgroup.

The only thing I detect is a feeble attempt to
challenge the alpha pendant by a lame wannabe.
Ken, haven't you learned yet that I know more than
you on matters such as these.

Actually, Dan, Ken's spelling is impeccable. As is yours. You both could use
a lesson in vocabulary and its usage, however...
