I am so sorry DS, I just caught this.
I think of you as a vibrant Burnished Golden somehow.
So...close with Chocolate!

Thanks, El. I see you as a frosted pink and Grace as a deep royale purple.

Oh thanks DS, I feel all sparkly now! I agree with your choice for Grace thinking about it.

YOu reminded me of my first nite on TOPIX ... I started about 10 PM and stayed up until 3 AM .... and lots of it being thoroughly entertained by what I read, even laughing out loud sometimes..

I wasn't going to get bacl on here tonight, but my brain got a bit fried from online courses I'm taking.
I just looked up the "Beatles suck and are over rated " music forum with 'Toothless from Seattle'
guy in there. I can't stop laughing! ROFLMBO!!!
It's just still so darn Funnnnny! Helps me wake up and now take care of business.
I'm looking for future great comical posts from 'Toothless....'
...Utterly classic persona, HAHAHAHAHAHA....
Can't stop laughing

On the other hand, I have found this also to be an opportunity to figur out how to work things out. You can try things in TOPIX in a way you might not try in the real world ...

Amen, Franko. Good insights on your posts. Didn't have time to read all of them, but will over weekend.
And believe you me, I'd NEVER say in real life some of the utterly stupid things and real things I do on these forums....well, maybe not NEVERRRRR...
(I have some really stupid (comical) friends in real life. The only thing I find hard is to get the inflections, subtlies of speech, and body language right on the computer. For example: When I wave no one waves back. Or whan you kiss the screen, it's just so flat,....know what I mean?
I go to work now. G'nite everyone.
muuaaahhhh!(Gulp, I think I just swallowed this little fruit fly of something that was perched on my screen, yukkkk!).

And I hate not being able to correct typos after the post button is pushed! The White-out on my screen is getting thick!

Ah! I got you, at last...trap you down, Are you listening!! Thanks so much for bringing up A special thread for me, made me feel emotional, but very little does make me emotional.. if the truth be known, how many times have I tried to hide tears and offered false excuses!
but, that' the reality.. I am an emotional being! full stop!
I don't think I personally thanked you ..I DO NOW!! very much appreciated.., although...I FEEL TRULY UNWORTHY..
amongst ALL THE GREAT FOLKS HERE ...

I know how you feel re sending off a post,
knowing.."Ahhhhhh! I should have corrected that''!! but it is well always to remember,
we are ALL human..

Grace, I have to look at many Web sites and forums as part of my job. Sometimes (not very often), I come across truly wonderful, good-hearted people like yourself. At least that's what I gathered from your posts, and that's all that matters. You made me (and others) feel a part of the family when I was a stranger. You stick up for those who accidentally stray, guide them, and cleverly, but gently, put them in their place. That's a wonderful gift.

As one of many forum moderators/administrators for sites owned by our newspaper group, I'm still learning what it takes to be fair and just, and still allow people to be people. But you've given me a little insight into that, so I thank you.

And that's that! On with the show!

Now, everyone tell me where the action is so I can get an idea for yet another blog I have to write.
Oh, and BTW, many thanks to everyone who has visited http://di-ablog.blogspot.com

Are you sure? Seems like inhuman behavior flourishes around here.

Hey there Dan, glad to see you're back. Just wanted to say that I thought your site was very clever. you have some funny stuff on it. after i read my comment to you, I thought it sounded bad. I was trying to make fun of myself and then saw how it could be misconstrued. Sorry, about that.

maybe you should read more, are we montrous? do we lack human needs, do we lack kindness, pity, or compassion; are we Deficient in emotional warmth; cold. Or maybe we are not of ordinary human form.

So please do expand your statement because I for one
am confused, and seem to have lost you in translation.

I think that dan's comment was meant for me, Mars. I wrote a post that was intended to be humorous about his site but it came off as kind of smarta$$.

who could possibly think anyone here is inhuman? i mean, just look at all these lovely avatars and wonderful screen names like HOGstr (snort, snort).

Marzie is very cool. A good friend to me. You won't find anyone like him, he tells it like it is, to the point and with honesty.

'Telling it like it is' is sometimes relative,
but I think Marzie is rather poignantly straight forward sometimes in an indirect way (is that an oxymoron?-or is it just me: the ox and the moron bit)...and not without compassion.
I understand the frustration I perceive he feels sometimes. Hard to understand brilliant minds sometimes. Like Einstein said: Above average minds
will always be under the persecution of the mediocre.
That also is true for people of above verage hearts alot, unless they can really kick butt like Gracey.
Geeez...
In being poignantly indirect, I 'd like to say that I like you're bathing suit, Shiloh.
Is shiloh a Jewish name? I don't have a problem not eating pork or such. I like beanies, but think they would look better with little propellars on top of them.
