Breathing Space...

*Ysh makes a mental note that the moderators are lurking, so returns to spamming*

The bar has been a little quiet tonight - we have had to do a bit of a cleaning up operation after last nights antics, time for a Newky Brown

@Yshania - Thanks for the beer *cheers*

I'm afraid the rumours are not as true as one would hope to believe. I think that too many blokes have cottened on to that fact and have moved there!

As an aside, what does bump do and how does it work (please note i am not bumping i am just curious?)

@Recoba - LOL!

So what brings you to the dizzy heights of SYM?

This is a fun place to be - but very quickly you will earn the title of either lurker or spammer

It is very brave of you to jump into a topic of over a 1000 posts - you didn't read them all did you

*from no distinguishable point, her voice is heard* Saturn Planet Power! Make up!

*appears in the middle of the room, spinning and glowing with energy flowing around her*

*stops spinning, now wearing her Sailor Senshi uniform and holding her glaive, and strikes a pose*

Howdy, all, wha's up?

Then you know

Bump is used to bring a topic back to the top of the board, and more times than not serves to annoy (often it is done on the game discussion threads if someone feels they have not had an answer quick enough to their question), other times (esp in SYM) it serves to bring back memories, or invite new people to the board to comment

eg there is a thread that quite often gets bumped, and has since been superceded, that invites GB members to post some information about themselves...

That would be wonderful, Ysh. The Mexican restaurant I ate lunch at didn't have Dr. Pepper.

How ya doin' today, Ysh?

*Ysh uses her newly acquired laser guided bottles of Dr Pepper to avoid casualties

I am fine thanks - been doing more reading than spamming tonight - but I am back with a vengeance

What about you?

Thanks, Ysh.

I'm really not sure how I'm doing, but I've got a doctor's appointment this afternoon, so hopefully I'll find out how I'm doing.

SS - everything ok?

Recoba · Post by **Recoba** » Mon Sep 17, 2001 1:42 pm

Thanks for the info, Yshania.

I did not read all of the posts but i got the general feel of the thread. I have been busy finishing my dissertation and I cannot hog the one phone line too often so i have not had much time to wirte replies!

I am watching 10 things i hate about you, which is quite funny as well, so i must apologise if my replies are taking a long time.

@Recoba - good for you for getting the feel of the thread and jumping in. I must admit I am easily intimidated by threads that have a lot of pages/posts...

Call me lazy...

You haven't missed anything - this thread is exactly what it says - breathing space - though somehow it has ran a little out of control and become a bar and present home for spam

No worries about how long it takes to post - I took 13 minutes yesterday to double post

Just don't feel intimidated - jump in

*Ysh slide another bottle of Grolsch down the bar to Recoba*

Beware - this bar is quiet at the moment - it may well take off at anytime (again!) and usually after I have gone to bed

Spammers are so unpredictable, and lurkers more so....

*shrugs* It's a general checkup, since it's been a few years since I went to the doctor; but the main reason I'm going is because for the past few years, I've had a never ending headache. It's usually just a dull ache that I easily ignore, but it sometimes reaches migraine level(thus the reason I have a bottle of Excedrin by my computer and another one in my car). There's a few other problems I've had recently that I'll get checked, too. The only reason we've waited this long is because we were just now able to get health insurance.

*drinks a few liters of Dr. Pepper* I'm not worried, though.

A few more bottles of Dr. Pepper, please?

No reason to drink alcohol if you are thirsty it is a dehydrater

@Recoba, 10 things i hate about you is one of those surprising teenage girly flicks that is entertaining for men. There are those excellent scenes with the father which i LMAO at

Without getting into any kind of major discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of the NHS - at least we have that option...(though no opt out)

I hope everything is ok - maybe you are spending too much time in front of PC/books/tv or God forbid just thinking

You need to settle down and spam out - OMG I have just realised who I am talking to - the spam master of August

*Ysh fires another bottle of Dr Pepper to SS*

Watch the caffeine, girl

And I thought I took a long time when I took 2 minutes to double post. *snickers*

Recoba · Post by **Recoba** » Mon Sep 17, 2001 1:57 pm

@Sailor - i hope everything works out o.k.

@Yshania - Thanks for the beer! Better be careful that I do not have too much as me and my mates are going out tomorrow night, its the first time we have all met up in about 3 months, what with university and other commitments.

I looked at the thread and it seemed fairly mellow, some threads i am not as sure about and do not want to put my foot in the proverbial.

@SS - lol! I was busy on ICQ - and even then I sent the wrong message to the wrong person...then I quit ICQ, came back to SYM, saw post reply so did. Again

@Mr Sleep - are you duly recovered? *hands Mr Sleep a tequila slammer*

@Recoba - you are wise to tread carefully at the moment

But that is understandable - we are normally a happy crowd

Recoba · Post by **Recoba** » Mon Sep 17, 2001 2:09 pm

@Mr Sleep - I agree with you on the film - just finished watching it and it is a cut above normal comedy films.

@Yshania - I agree it is a troubled time, my sister was in New York on the day, but she was the other side of Manhattan and she was ok. But many people weren't. My sympathies go to them and to their relatives.

Are there any snacks available? I am getting a bit peckish? Thanks.
