You might remember Porter and I talking about Maria, his cousin, my best friend, who introduced us and who was so instrumental in both our lives. And I am so happy to introduce you to her!

Dagonee Edit: That's the problem with cut and paste - you spell it wrong once, it's spelled wrong forever. When is someone going to make an in-line spell-check for firefox?

On a related note, are there any firefox extensions that make posting on UBB forums easier? Perhaps keys for itallics, bold, etc.?

I'm not shy! I'm just trying to post here and there, and didn't even realize this existed. Thanks, "Beverly." (;
This looks like a really fun place to be! I appreciate the welcomes! (And is there any chance you could change the candied walnuts to chocolate? That works every time!)

IIRC, sarc mup got her name because a parallel was drawn between her and Waldorf and Statler once when she was heckling/harrasing a classmate.

Tink, If you do not already have one, I suggest you get a seatbelt for your computer chair. This place offers quite a wild ride. Then again, after drinking 3 or 4 Mello Yellos, everything seems so green anyway. Or maybe it is purple/green...?

But welcome to Hatrack and may all your paths to here be easily trodden and without delay.
bbCode Firefox extension (instructions for bbCode) - Make posting BB code easier (this has many features Hatrack can't use, but for things like bold, italic, quotes, code, and urls, this is very useful. (I even made this list with it!)

Porter, thanks for indulging my curiosity. (: I had a feeling it might be something like that.
Kwea, I have seen the new Peter Pan - I liked it a lot - the actor they chose for Peter was PERFECT!
Amka, I've never considered myself a matchmaker, but for a few years there it seemed that almost every random introduction I had a part in, ended up in a relationship! I should have started a business . . . (;
Boy, threads move fast around here!!! Fun place! Thanks again to everyone for the warm welcome!

Welcome to Hatrack, Tink. Any friend of mr_porteiro_head's is a friend of beverly's. Er, I mean any friend of mine is a... no, wait, that's not right either. Any friend of Tink's is... um....

Yes. While Tink introduced bev and I, we hooked up by ourselves. She never played matchmaker.
And it's a good thing. It would be a shame if I had avoided bev just because Tink was trying to foist her on me.

When I first got a computer, and e-mail, it was not the norm, so I wasn't familiar with the standard icons that are now such a part of online culture. I used smiley faces in my real-life writing, so I transferred them to my online writing.
I think Porter was the first one to tell me I was "wrong." My response was - and still is - if you take a smiley face and put it on its side, how can one way be "wrong" and one "right?" It's on its side either way! (;

She openly acknowledged that she had no intention of matching the two of us. Though I don't think she minded that it happened....

I thought so too, and Wendy was perfect too. I love the fact that they went back towards the original feel, and away from the Disney version where it is all just an adventure for the kids.
I bought it, and we have watched it several times already.
Dag, I use Spellbound, and it works very well, although the vocabulary in is isn't great at first.
Now if I could jsut remember to use it all the time before hitting "post"...lol.. Kwea

It could be wrong. Given the fact that we read from left to right and top to bottom, one would think that "reading" the smiley face from left to right should produce a top-to-bottom mental image, or eyes before mouth.

Don't you just hate it when people aren't on AIM, but you know they're online because you see them posting?

Hmm . . . okay, maybe my smilies ARE wrong. (Maybe.) But either way, it's an eight-year habit that probably won't change now . . . though I do like to use emoticons when appropriate and if I like them enough. Like this one. Posts: 25 | Registered: Jan 2005

I read this before I saw who'd written it, and was astounded when it wasn't Trisha. This is such a classic example of the way her mind seems to work. I'm not surprised you clapped Trisha! Posts: 16059 | Registered: Aug 2000
