Thanks, Purelife. If I knew about it sooner I would have been here intead, although DV still has the entertainment factor every now and then. Need to get more good members here! (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/4.gif)

  I'm going to go and give out some +karma now if I can look up how.

Karma can be blessed or smited and they can be found right under the individual's name.

  I just blessed your cotton socks.  :)

  Do tell us some things about yourself?

Aw, thanks! I tried to click on you name to give you some but it didn't seem to work... I'll figure it out.

  What kinds of things are there to tell? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Thinking/3.gif)

  Let's see... I'm pretty trigger happy with the smileys, but that's obvious. I'm just about to fire up my capuccino machine to make a second round of morning lattes. I had the world's shortest meeting today and got home from it about an hour ago ... Oh, I'm talking to "Nat" from DV right now on msn (real life friends).

  How about you?    
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...
Post by: purelife on Jun 12 06 10:19
I'm real life friends with Nat as well.  Do tell her that I said hi!

  We haven't met, have we?  How long have you been posting on DV?
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...
Post by: purelife on Jun 12 06 10:22
Me?  I'm at work at the moment and neglecting it.  My emails keep piling up.  They all want me to do something!  But, it can wait, I suppose...  
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...
Post by: 007 on Jun 12 06 10:25
Too funny, I think you guys both asked me to say hi to one another at the same time.

  It's possible that we've met... I'll ask her what your name is.

Never mind, I was thinking in person for a second there! I haven't been around DV for very long, just since I have been unemployed and had the free time.b

Nat is a sweetheart.  :)  I haven't hung out with her for a while now.  Last time, we went to Mesa Luna for some salsa dancing.  You weren't one of the gals, were you?

Nope, I wasn't there that night.

 Under my name, you'll see a "bless" and a "smite."

I think you are 100% right 007.  We are better.

Hiya PL.  How was your weekend?
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...
Post by: 007 on Jun 12 06 10:45
Definitely better!

  I don't see the "bless" and "smite" under any names... I'll play with my popup blocker to see if that's it, too.

  Thanks, guys!
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...
Post by: purelife on Jun 12 06 10:48
Really 007?  That is strange.  I know that you wouldn't be able to see it under your own, but the bless/smite should be right under my karma.  (left hand side)  Perhaps Teh Borken can help you out.  He's the forum mod and owner.  

  Hi Chicklet, I had a great weekend.  I enjoyed the outdoors and the semi-great weather we had.  You?
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...
Post by: 007 on Jun 12 06 10:53
Of course it's there now. I just blessed you, and learned that I can't bless more than once in an hour to the same person.

  Thanks for the help - I still stand by my word that it wasn't there before, lol.
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...

We finally finished our powder room.  What a huge relief.  The weather wasn't as great as I thought it would be but we got out to enjoy a bit of it.

 The 'bless/smite' links don't appear after you've made a few posts (10, I think).

(And welcome to DS.)

Sort of like the movies, but I think I just like being "007" more (such a dork but oh well!).

  So how long have you guys all posted on DV/DS for? I feel so new!    
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...

DS - registered since Feb of this year. Could be a bit longer before the forum evolved to what it is today.

  DV - too long to remember. Let's just say, I overstayed my welcome there.    
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...
Post by: purelife on Jun 12 06 11:37
I registered on DS in Feb.

I've been on DV for a little more than two years.  At the moment, I have dramatically decreased my time at DV.
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...
Post by: Lise on Jun 12 06 11:44
Hey purelife, were you there at the very beginning of DV?
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...
Post by: purelife on Jun 12 06 11:48
Nope.  Orca has been on DV longer than I have.  I remember Kay&Nik from Peachland and they have been on DV since it has started.  Kay is over at the Okanagan forum.  I haven't heard from her for a long time now.  Ahhh...sweet memories.... I miss so many people from way back when.  
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...
Post by: 007 on Jun 12 06 11:49
That makes sense then!

  I just hope that I'll be able to get away from DS / DV during the day when I have to work again! It's way too easy to just flip back when you're in front of the computer anyway.

  I posted a couple of times here and there from last summer until the spring, but forgot my handle. In the last month(ish) I don't even want to know how much time I've spent on DV. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/2.gif)

  But I'll be back later on. Just going to have some lunch with my grumpy boyfriend!

  Nice chatting with you!  
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...
Post by: Lise on Jun 12 06 11:55
Bye my dear! Have a good lunch.

  I remember the days when most of the posters didn't even have to register nor did they resort to multiple handler names. *sigh* I miss the good old days.

It was lovely talking to you.  And, what a nice coincidence that we know Nat as well.  Kewl!  I have got to get myself out again with friends.

Oh no Sportsdude.  Not my boyfriend.  007 posted that she had to go have lunch with her b/f who was grumpy.  Oh my, the confusion.....

Ooops my bad. Avatars looked the same.  I hope you find someone PL, although I know how you feel.  Everytime I try to talk to a woman first response I always get is how tall I am. Anyway the girls around here aren't worth my time.

No worries SD.  

  I do have a special someone in my life.  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)   I hope that he's the one because after him, there will be no more relationships from me.  Two is enough!
Title: Re: This board is so much better than ...
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 12 06 02:25
Two?

Everyone will find someone special you can't live a life alone.  Trust me thats not fun.  No one wants to be a loner.
