Another one Bites the Dust??!?

[mmhmm]

I'd imagine Carl and Mrs. Carl are pretty busy right now!  Moving sure is no picnic, and they've got a lot to watch over and a lot to do.  Carl's in a new job and I imagine that's taking up a lot of his time.  I'm sure we'll hear more when things calm down for them.  I'm anxious to hear after they move in and get sorta settled.

Hence define "normal".

I don't agree with your #2 because this is a forum, not formal writing. Since you are wrong about that, I dismiss your argument in its entirety based on internet debate rule #4

That's part of my point. Is formal correctness a part of "normal" English?

Having said that, "formal" is perhaps too strong a word. I would fully expect a newspaper op ed or any other kind of edited material to use "two" instead of "2" even when written in an informal style. Proper English would use "two".

I know there's a conspiracy theory that supposes tloonya is a provocateur who feigns language difficulties. Do you subscribe to this theory?

Still blows my mind you went from posting terrible English to normal. 

That's what happens when she sobers up. 

I wish that was the answer but no. Look deeper. It is something else...

The only thing you should be apologizing here for is for us to waste our time and twist our brain reading your poem.
Can you apply Flesh-Kincaid leverage to evaluate THAT?

No, she is the new Sybil. IMHO.

I've long suspected that at least 3 personalities share the tloony id. I'm not sure if they share a body too though.

[ilovedolphins]

I understand where Arch is coming from, and like I said I'm thinking of walking away too or at least posting a lot less. I like the adult interaction, but I know there is a lot I let go sitting here writing on these all the time. Soon as the foot is better and it is getting better, I need to get busy around here, moreso.

This is me.  I should be cleaning or exercising and I am on the internet.  I really need to stay off of it more.

[toomuchreality]

[toomuchreality]

   I definitely fit the No, Remind me next year category. I click remind me, just in case something drastic happens and I change my mind. (As if)
After all, how could I possibly live (happily) without y'all?!

[toomuchreality]

You okay Beer?

[Deleted]

I am doing as well as be expected, toomuchreality. This Cinco de Drinko hangover is a beyotch! 

Thanks for asking. 

[NoNamePerson]

I got the impression that Archie posted mostly from work so maybe it was interferring with his job?    But if you are reading this Archie this is one of my favorite tag lines that you used. Not sure you used it here but on the "other" forum long ago:


The funniest thing about this particular message is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

[tloonya]

O. Key!

Question:
If I am, is it treatable?

Answer:
They do, and there is room for 1 big one and 1 small one. Apply within.
-------------------------------------------------
Mainly exercising, oh well, I admit it I need to clean more also.

Suggestions:
Only if someone sticks to your hands...otherwise...why bother?

Oh, good. I was afraid you'd gone into a deep, dark depression.




I think you should take the rest of the week off. Kick back and let others wait on you, hand and foot, until the beginning of next week (at least). Maybe have a girls night.  Perhaps then, you can recover.        

 -But if it's very bad, you might need a little longer.

I don't think you can be treated, but it is ok. The rest of us can self-medicate.

Good. I was afraid there is no solution to this.

[tloonya]

What happened to this thread? Are we getting used to being Archless?
I say someone gets his wife email and sends her some threatening...email.
How 'bout that?

[tloonya]

Does anyone care that to find this thread I had searched FOUR (4) pages?
Does anyone CARE

You had always been jealous of Archie and no one cared. So...have a nice 'nobody cares' life, shorty!

[tallguy]

LMAO.  There is no one on this or any other board I have ever been jealous of.  A (large) number that I have pitied, perhaps.
