Well, hello there! I've been silently lurking amongst you for a while, unable to make myself heard because (for reasons unclear to me) Hatrack is unable to email me my password on my Verizon email account. So, I finally tried using a different email account, and voila! here I am! How's THAT for some quick problem solving.
I first got sucked into the Hatrack forum when I was google-searching something completely un-Cardish, and got a hit to the page. Already a fair fan and ravenous reader with real respect for the OSC Opus, I peeked about. And I promptly got a minor crush (well, an admixture of respect, awe, and affection) for one of you, and began following that member's posts. Then I became familiar with the rest of the group, and got the urge to join in the fun. What a lovely community you have here.
I look forward to joining in the fun. Everybody say "Hey" to the new kid on the block.

Hmmm...the crush. Well, I'd rather not say, for fear of embarrassing that someone. Or me. I STILL hold that member in high regard and esteem.

This would be a better game than Phanto/Morbo's. Create a new screenname, then you have to guess who the person has a crush on. (This is not in any way an accusation that Tante Esther Shvester is anyone other than who she says she is -- just a fun game idea.)
I guess Frisco, 'cause that's who I would have a crush on if I weren't married. Especially if I were a woman.

I might've said ElJay, but she already seems nervous enough around me since I told her about that dream where we got married after I was widowed. I haven't told Frisco about any of my dreams about him.

Well, Val, since you are highly recommending. I AM revealing my *secret* Hatrack crush. I've emailed that 'racker to post notice.
I see from your profile that you are from Omaha. Growing up, every Sunday night, we would tune into "Mutual of Omaha Wildlife Kingdom" on ABC. I remember begging my folks for a vacation trip to Omaha, Nebraska, so that we could see the elephants, giraffes, lions, rhinos, and all that for ourselves. It came as a read dissapointment for me to find out that none of these are actually native to Omaha.
But glad to meet you!

I used to love Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, too. I always felt sorry for Jim. He got sent out on to do all that dangerous stuff, and there was this guy back in the office sort of ordering him around...
"Now Jim will wrangle the rhino while I sit back in my comfy chair and tell you about insurance."
"See if Jim had insurance, he wouldn't be looking so glum just now."

I'm rather curious about who the crush is, especially now that you've emailed them. The Hatrack-couple Boom happened about a year ago, and I think now we've hit a Baby Boom, but there may be aftershocks of the first still coursing through bandwidth .

But in the interest of keeping my policy of not revealing crushes on married men and/or people I have met or may meet, I couldn't possibly post in a "Who's your crush?" thread?

Welcome, Esther!! I have to just say that I LOVE your screen name. And your first post was awesome. And you seem really cool. And I should stop, my Jew is showing.
!ברוכים הבאים
Oh, btw, I'm also DYING to know who the crush is!!

Actually... I believe that y'all is just y'all over there. All y'all is y'all over there AND y'all over there.

Esther, Xavier and I met here. We have been living in Omaha together for just about a year. We talked online and on the phone and then he flew to Omaha from San Diego to meet me. It didn't take long for us to figure out that a long distance relationship just wasn't going to work. So, he started packing. (I have family here and I wasn't ready to leave them.)
We will get married some day. Hopefully sooner, not later. We decided that it would be nice to start having children after I get my degree.
And that is why I am very happy that you emailed your crush. But please remember to get a few 'rackers' approval before meeting him in real life. The SoCal Clump had already given me their thumbs up before I met Phil. You know, for safety reasons.
rivka is a good one to ask, she's been to all the Cons and vouch for people and their realness.
And, by the way, my email is in my profile, please feel free to send me the name of your crush. Posts: 2064 | Registered: Dec 2003
