There are so many, but let me see if I can remember at least some of them.
Lymetoo--the best, always on the boards, knows a lot Sixgoofy--same with tutu Tincup--see here and there, a great source bcb1200 randibear James1979--a real fun addition TF--same with tutu momintexas Keebler and Chiquita Incognita
I know there are more. But, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate these folks being here. This is a quite a journey and the light at end of tunnel would not be there if it wasn't for these people.
Thanks again.

thank you, hon, i'm honored to be in such good company. don't understand why me tho.
i'd just like to meet all of you. wish we could have a big conference and somebody would pay our expenses so we all could go.
Posted by jackie51 (Member # 14233) on :
randybear--let's see. 5K+ posts: I would say you're quite knowledgable and graciously giving of your time.

jackie51, I am hijacking your post...
I would like to thank jackie51 for this post and also everybody on these boards that take the time to answer questions, ask questions, post links to information and everything else that my mind won't let me think of right now.
THANK YOU ALL!!!!
P.S. I'd like to thank everybody that makes me laugh too...
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Amen, mom!
Thanks for mentioning me. I am honored. I really enjoy being here and can't break an old habit!! I learn so much here from everyone!
I have met Melanie Reber, just don, and others who no longer post here. I missed a golden chance to meet MADDOG, charlie, and Tincup about 5 yrs ago. Still sad about that!!
I would like to meet momintexas, penguingirl, Dekrator, daisy, MDW and everyone else on "God Thought."
I THINK I'd like to meet James.. but that's a scary thought!! And randibear too. OK, who did I leave out? How about "lou", LouB, jackie51, and OF COURSE, Sixgoofy!!! Would really like to meet her since we talk all the time. Same with momintexas. Oh .. and Robin123, merrygirl, sometimesdilly, Rene, map1311!!
Also, Silverwolf and hubby, kam, Aklnwlf, and everyone on the Exercise thread!
Thanks to all who help out here and work hard to lift the spirits of others!
Posted by randibear (Member # 11290) on :
hmm, i've got pictures of silverwolf and that's really helped so much. i think i sent her pictures of me.
that might be an idea. just mail a picture.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Yeah, I know what some of the above buddies look like! They're all gorgeous and/or handsome! Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
I don't think I'm cool enough to be on that list, but thanks for remembering me anyway!
I'm actually pretty dorky in "real life". I'm usually a serious person, and I very rarely tell jokes. I don't know why I get all goofy when I'm writing on the Internet! Maybe it's like some kind of "alter ego" or something.
But, if anyone is ever in the Chicago area - come on over! I'd love to meet everyone, especially the frequent posters. If we get two or three together, maybe we could have a party. I'll be serving lemon-detox drinks and dried wakaame chips.
I don't like to share my picture with anybody, because once the girls see how handsome I am, I'm afraid they'll start befriending me for superficial reasons. Posted by momintexas (Member # 23391) on :
Awww Jackie - thank you and ditto!
Tutu - I feel like I've known you for 20 years!
There are SO many people on here that I'd love to meet as well.
Everyone on this board is so supportive and I'm so grateful to have found this site.
Sending special hugs to ALL of the moms (and dads) with sick children on this site.
I wish we could figure out a way for all of us to meet with our kids somewhere. It would be nice for them to gather with other kids that understand what they are going through.
I appreciate all of you for the advice and support you have shared with me. I've made some wonderful friends here.
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
Yep. Names come to my mind right now but health is too low to type them out.
When I first got sick, I had this idea that I would some day travel across the USA and meet some of the people from lymenet.
Got to met Just Don and Ms Melanie in person a couple of years ago. health was OK but not really doing well enough to do that talking thing or have a regular conversation.
I met some people when I went down the hill to go to visit some who were doing hyperbaric (sp) oxygen when I first moved to AZ but darn if I can recall who it was and what they look like.
Met Karen in person and she drove me to see my doc in CA in 2006 or 2007. Bless her. Last time I saw my LLMD>
She also helped me get my power chair that was donated to me and I have used daily since 2006 or 2007 I think.

Back atcha, mominTX! Posted by penguingirl (Member # 28688) on :
This is a great thread, Jackie! It would be nice to meet everyone that has been so helpful and supportive. I don't know what I would have done without lymenet. I would probably still be on inadequate amounts of probiotics and eating the wrong stuff, etc.
Yes Lymetoo - I would love to thank and meet you too! We could have a clarinet party.
James - I would love to join your lemon detox drink party. I'll bring the cultured vegetables that look kind of sketchy but not moldy, haha, jk.

I wish I could meet everyone face to face too...I have been blessed by so many helping hands here on Lymenet...some with encouraging words and others with sterling medical advice...some people make me laugh or chuckle and others cause me to pray for them...I am so thankful for everyone here...has made my journey as a caretaker, more tolerable.
I wish we could get together.
Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
Look at the male-female ratio of this thread... It's all babes and no pimps! Dang. I gotta tell my friends about this place.
If we ever have a party, I'm gonna have to find some chick music to play. Maybe I can download some Michael Bolton albums from iTunes or something... Any suggestions? Posted by LymeGoAway (Member # 25041) on :
I too would love to meet everyone. It's so nice to have a place to come to where everyone understands what the other person is going through.
I wish I had found this board sooner--I'd already had Lyme for a good year before I even knew it existed.
I've learned so much and everyone is so helpful.

I have met so many from here coast to coast.
at the risk of forgetting some of them, you know who you are,,and many that arent here any more.
And so many more I would like to meet. Your all heroes to me for various and sundry reasons.
Posted by jackie51 (Member # 14233) on :
I'm not sure how I forgot 17hens, boxermom, t9im, just don and sforgen. isn't sforgen the perfect health guy?
So many to remember, but obviously a lyme brain. So, if I have forgotten, it's not an oversight. ;-)
Maybe we get that bumper sticker with big letters, "LN" and then it says lymenet underneath it. Kind of like we do for OBX "outerbanks".
Thanks again and bigs hugs to all!

Just don't forget to bring your Michael Bolton CDs. Posted by BoxerMom (Member # 25251) on :
I'm bringing The Ramones.
Posted by just don (Member # 1129) on :
James, we can use the excuse of the Cubbies winning the world series as a good excuse to 'par-tee'.
Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
BoxerMom - who are the Ramones? What are some famous songs of theirs that I might recognize?
Does anyone here listen to heavy metal?
Just don - The Cubs are playing the world series? Is the world series going on now? Did they already win???
LOL. Sorry. Obviously I'm not into sports.
But you know what? We can use their victory as an excuse anyway!! Posted by jackie51 (Member # 14233) on :
I use to listen to Heavy Metal. Not much more these days. Black Sabbath comes to mind.
Posted by lyme in Putnam (Member # 11561) on :
The ramones sang "I want to be Sedated" in the 80's. Perfect for my life now.
Posted by BoxerMom (Member # 25251) on :
Here's a YouTube video someone made of the lyrics to I Wanna Be Sedated. It includes photos of the band. (S/he got the lyrics wrong, but corrected them in the comments. Oops.)
I skimmed through the wiki link, but I didn't recognize anything.
I listened to the beginning of that youtube clip, but I really don't recognize it.
I think wiki said something about how they were called "the second greatest band of all time". Maybe I'm just "out of the loop". Or maybe I'm not old enough...
Posted by BoxerMom (Member # 25251) on :
Youngsters! Yer soft! That's yer problem!
When I was young, we had to hitch a ride to the city or some crazy field, then walk 5 miles in the snow, uphill each way, to see a Rock concert. And we were zonked off our gourds!
Now you've got yer YouTube and yer iTunes and yer Lollapalalala.
Yer soft! You wouldn't know Rock if one fell on yer head! And you wouldn't see it comin', neither, cuz you'd be "texting!"
And don't get me started on the sweet sounds of vinyl. Our record collections took up half our bedrooms! And our hi-fi's took up the other half! We had to sleep curled up in our beanbag chairs!
Not now, with yer crazy iPods! So small, you kin never find 'em. An' when ya do, it's cuz yer sittin' on one!
We EARNED our hearing loss by shovin' thru the mayhem to dance our patoots off in front of amps stacked so high, they disappeared into great swirlin' clouds of smoke! Next day, yer ears would ring so loud, an' yer Ma would yell at ya good fer stayin' out so late, but ya didn't care.
I tell you what, Son, that wuz LIVIN'!

Posted by skies (Member # 28064) on :
For sure, Keebler.. I've read so many informative and thoughtful posts of hers.. although not meant specifically for me, they were always helpful.
And of course, Lymetoo.. she always hammers home how important it is to keep candida in mind and to eat properly! She's right, I'm glad I listened!
Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :
You all are just too sweet, too funny and too special! And too darn smart! Perfect friends all around!

BTW- A nice place to meet folks- other patients, advocates, and doctors- is at the LDA conference. It is this weekend in Philly.
Come on by, learn some stuff and have some fun too!
Posted by jackie51 (Member # 14233) on :
I'll hit the conference next year. too sick this year and got two sick kids. Philly is right around the block too.
Yes, I remember concerts. Back when you could actually smoke a cigarette or a joint and no one cared. This younger generation is so coddled. :-)
Posted by just don (Member # 1129) on :
I am so old we didnt have electric stuff like amps etc. I was born right between the invention of dirt and the wheel!!!!
What do all you youngens do for fun? Us oldens take our favorite club and go hunt for food!!
Never even heard of those 'moanies' group. We listened to the 'Birds' and 'Monkees' and a 'Beatle' or four. Those 'animals' make better music!!
So you dont want to get drug by your hair back to my cave huh??? I can appreciate that.
You will get over being so young soon enough. Seem like a snap of my fingers I was dodging chicken poop and hot sand on the feet. Barefoot was a townie thing.
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Hear, hear - I wish, re meeting everyone. Would be fantastic to be able to do so. As it is, we meet in our respective locales, like where a Lyme conference happens, usually.
Re Jackie's Q about Scott Forsgren, yes, he's the better health guy, AND facilitator of our SF peninsula support group, and I haven't seen him stumped once! He knows everything! Not bad for being a patient, not a dr.
Posted by Fuel1212 (Member # 29312) on :
Boxer... That was hilarious!
All I can say is that I love this place and I love you all. I would not be able to do this without you!
I am sorry that our common interest is killing bugs, but God put us here for a reason I am sure.
I am also in Chicago, and James no the Cubs are not in the World series. I don't think we can use them in the same sentence?
James can bring the detox drinks, I can provide a 3 person sauna and electrolyte water It will be a crazy methylation party!

Anyway I can bring B-12 shots. It is not as good as jello shots but whatever - they are bright red! And some Bicillin shots too! Posted by BoxerMom (Member # 25251) on :
"not as good as Jello shots..." HA!
I guess we should bring our own enema kits? Hygiene and all...

Fuel - I missed it, too! It was still fun to laugh at the responses, even without reading the original post.
BTW I liked your officer joke a lot! Quality.
Isn't it amazing to think that every time we laugh, we're boosting the immune system and killing more bugs? I wish there was a way to laugh for a couple of hours straight every day...

I'll be in Boston for the Rally! I'm so fortunate, I've met most of my Lyme Friends!!! SixGoofy is one of the few of my closest Lyme Friends I have not met YET but will I'm sure!
I'm in CT and my home is always open, but I think everybody knows that. I've hosted many a Lymie over the years!
I hope to travel to San Antonio to visit my son, who is stationed there in the Army, sometime in November so if anyone is in that area, let me know!
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
You will love San Antonio in November! (unless you get the really rare cold spell!!)
(take a coat .. you never know when it will be cold and windy in TX)
Be sure to see the Alamo, the Riverwalk, and maybe even Breckenridge Park.
Some are disappointed in the Alamo, but it is a sacred shrine, not a tourist attraction. Is he at Ft Sam Houston? They have a cool park in the center (can't remember the term for it).. oh.. Quadrangle, I think.
You will want to stay in your car since they have deer in there!! Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
I ran into a silly joke just now. Since this is a silly thread, I thought I'd share it with y'all: --- Two vampires walked into a bar and called for the bartender.
"I'll have a glass of blood," said one.
"I'll have a glass of plasma," said the other.
"Okay," replied the bartender, "That'll be one blood and one blood lite."
Posted by BoxerMom (Member # 25251) on :
"HA!" says my emoticon.
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
James is raising an interesting issue here - could drunk vampires possibly spread Lyme disease?
If so, it kinda sucks, doesn't it?
Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
LOL @Robin! You are the MASTER at corny jokes!
Here's some more for y'all. I get them from a supplements newsletter:
"I do ten sit-ups every morning. It might not sound like much, but there are only so many times you can hit the snooze button."
-----
"I'm prescribing these pills for you," said the doctor to the overweight patient. "I don't want you to swallow them. Just spill them on the floor twice a day and pick them up, one at a time...."

Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
quote:"No need for me to come out to the house," the doctor told the worried caller. "I've checked my files and you husband is a hypochondriac and doesn't have a heart condition at all. He just thinks he does."
A week later, the doctor telephoned to make sure his diagnosis had been correct. "How's your husband today?" he asked.
"Worse,'' came the reply. "Now he thinks he's dead."

Hey, since I mentioned the PMS joke, I should also post the health news that was written underneath the joke in the newsletter I got:
quote:Consuming foods with higher levels of the B vitamins thiamine and riboflavin may reduce the incidence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) by about 35%, suggest new findings from a recent study.
As thiamine and riboflavin are known to play important roles in the synthesis of various neurotransmitters involved in PMS, the link between B vitamins and PMS makes physiological sense.
Men - try to be graceful as you suggest to your wives to supplement with thiamine and riboflavin. How is this: "Honey, you look like you could really use some thiamine... and maybe some riboflavin also. I can see it in your cheeks."?? You think that'd work? Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :

.................................................. Be nice, James and Fuel! After all, this IS a support site and a lot of women with Lyme have increased pms difficulties.
Me, I'm just speaking in solidarity, since Lyme took care of that problem for me by eating my hormones for lunch, and I don't miss it at all!

Well, since there are so many chicks on this forum, I guess I'll post another then:
quote:The 5 Definitive Signs of PMS are: 1. Everyone around you has an attitude problem. 2. You're adding chocolate chips to your cheese omelet. 3. The dryer has shrunk every last pair of your jeans. 4. Your husband is suddenly agreeing to everything you say. 5. You're convinced there's a God and he's male.
And then here's what the health newsletter said underneath this joke:
quote:A mixture of essential fatty acids (EFAs) was shown to significantly improve the symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome.
Only two EFAs are known to be crucial for human health: alpha-linolenic acid which is an omega-3 fatty acid and linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid. Other fatty acids that are only considered to be "conditionally essential" include gamma-linolenic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, lauric acid which is a saturated fatty acid, and palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid.

Okay okay, I mention "PMS" once and all the ladies get their feathers all ruffled. Can we say "feminism"?
Tutu - tell me how you like this one:
quote:A lady from a foreign country who could not understand much English wasn't feeling well and went to see her doctor. After examining her he said, "You are pregnant. Please understand that you have an insufficient passage and if you have a baby it will be a miracle."
The lady rushed home crying and told her husband, "The doctor says I'm pregnant and I have a fish in the passage and if I have a baby it will be a mackerel!"
There we go. That one was more politically correct, huh? Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Yes, that is better. I am in no way shape or form a "feminist." You are really teetering on the edge again!
You never saw my dig at you .. it's somewhere here in General.
Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
Aha! I found your "dig" at me! It was as mean as I thought it would be. You basically said that everyone at LymeNet is cool, except for me.
Was that the correct one, or was there another "dig" that I happened to miss out on?
Would you like to verbally abuse me any more? It's okay, I don't mind. Really. I think it's actually beneficial to be insulted every once in a while. Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
That's a good fish story! Speaking of those who don't know much English, someone from Italy once stopped me on the street and in broken English, asked why all the windows were dirty here. Huh? Turns out the Italian word for dirty is "sale," pronounced sol-lay.

Fuel - you are SOOOO cheating! I can't believe you sank to such levels! And look at the number you gave yourself: 21,000?! At least if you had made it look less like a clean even number, it might've been more believable!
Tutu - Well, it was difficult to find it, because I had to dig through all the other posts were you were bashing my persona. But what I did was I went to your "profile" page and viewed your recent posts. Then I guessed that maybe it was on the thread where everyone was congratulating you for reaching 60,000 posts, because I hadn't read that thread in its entirety.
And sure enough, there it was where you were saying how cool everyone on LymeNet is, except for James.
The thing I'm jealous about is that they gave you a celebration for reaching 60,000 posts, but I got diddly squat when I reached 1,500. What's going on here? 1,500 is a nice clean number! It's divisible by both 2 AND 5! How come nobody gave me a celebration, or parties, or fireworks like they did for you?
Well... 1,500 isn't as clean as Fuel's 21,000... but when a number is THAT clean, then I start to get a little suspicious, you know? Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
Fuel, you just made me laugh with your new posting number - so, a techie, eh? Why don't you live up to your name and put another zero after your newest count and really make James and Lymetoo work out to catch up!

Being as I get blood plasma on a regular basis, I consider myself a regular bondafide Lymepire.
Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
Fuel, man, I got a big problem. I really need your help this time. I don't know what to do, and I'm starting to get really worried.
It's my eyes... it seems there's something wrong with my eyes. I can't really explain it. It's like everything is super blurry all of the sudden. Especially when I'm reading small things like digits or numbers, I'm having trouble making out the numbers.
So here's where I need your help: Since I can't read it myself - can you please tell me what my post count is? I would really like to know.
Thanks a lot for your help.

ahhh, who's on first???
Posted by Fuel1212 (Member # 29312) on :
James - First off welcome to LN. I see you are a newbie with the number of posts you have. Great to meet you!
Eye symptoms and Lyme go hand in hand. Please see the link below for eye topics...
Fantastic Fuel! James you have met your match! LOL
Posted by penguingirl (Member # 28688) on :
LOL, good work Fuel.
This will be a tough one for James to beat!
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
HAHHAHAAA, FUEL!!
Ok, James... congratulations for being a heavy talker!!! Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
Dear Fuel: Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
P.S. Can you girls PLEASE stop with the crazy moving graemlins in the signatures?!?!
I think 4 girls have added moving signature graemlins within the last 24 hours!
...And they all look WEIRD!!! Posted by penguingirl (Member # 28688) on :
You don't like my cool penguin??
I am so sad.. Posted by Fuel1212 (Member # 29312) on :
Good stuff all.. I feel like poo today, but had a laugh or two.
James thanks for the fun!
Fuel

I got no problem with yours. Yours is actually kinda cute.
But, for example, have you seen Scorpio's? It's... well.... um.... it's...
I don't know how to say it.
Posted by scorpiogirl (Member # 31907) on :
You know you love mine so you might as well admit it! Lol
Posted by sixgoofykids (Member # 11141) on :
I can't believe I just saw this thread for the first time.
I've met a few here ... vermontlymie was the first I met on the streets in NYC.
I met AmyC and MADDOG at Under Our Skin in Dayton.
I met steelbone, SForsgren and m0joey in Germany, along with several other Lymies who were there.
There are so many more I'd like to meet! Is there a gala next year? That would be fun!
Oh, and James, I do make it up to Chicago every once in a while.

What, exactly, is "it"?
How can I love "it" if I don't know what "it" is?
One thing I know for sure: I still laugh every time I see it! That is THE silliest... THING! Whatever it is.

My house is always open! You're welcome to stop by at any time. Bring the whole family! I would love to meet your husband, because he looks like a very happy person.
I have a cool house, and there's lots of cool stuff to do around here.

I am so sad..
It's not that I particularly don't like your penguin. Your penguin is alright... on ONE post. Okay? So like if you pasted your penguin on ONE post, then we can say: "Hey, PG, that's a cool penguin! Thanks for sharing it! It moves a lot, but thank God it's only on one post! That way we don't have to see it on every thread of the forum! That was a great idea to only post it once, in only one post!"
You get what I'm saying?
But man... at least it's not weird.... like that other one! Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :

- gee.. you're so honest today!
Penguin... keep the penguin so you can annoy James
Six.. I've been telling you (and others) that you are missing stuff over here!! I have to show up over here in self-defense of Lymenet! Posted by penguingirl (Member # 28688) on :
How about this one? It is smaller.
I might have to find a in between penguin.. this one is microscopic. The sunglass one is a bit large I think (as a signature).
There are not enough penguin smilies out there!!
Posted by Dogsandcats (Member # 28544) on :
It looks like it got lost in a snowdrift! Bring back Miss Penguin with some style...
Posted by randibear (Member # 11290) on :
i don't go north of the mason dixon line.....LOL
no seriously, i'd like to just have a big conference and everyone could attend. if i had the money i'd pay for those who couldn't come.

Oh my goodness, PG! That is AWESOME! You could even double the size and it still wouldn't be annoying!
If there was a "friend's list" feature on this forum, I would totally add you to it now. You would be getting a request like: "James1979 is requesting to be your friend!"
And Scorpiogirl would be getting: "James1979 has added you to his block list." HA HA HA HA HA! Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
Oops, my new one is a little big now. I'll just shrink it a little later.

"Enfants! Faites attention aux baobabs!"
OK, this is SO NOT from The Godfather...Avatar maybe.
I think we should start counting how many threads James has hijacked. No wonder his post numbers are so high.

Does anyone know who I can contact to give a recommendation for the Nobel Laureate? I really think 17hens might have a good chance this year.
Also I highly recommend you read the book. And if your children are still young and innocent ("young and innocent" = oxymoron), then it might be good for you to read the book to them too.
Posted by 17hens (Member # 23747) on :
Oh, The Little Prince...I was going to guess James and the Giant Peach!
Posted by GraceT (Member # 16558) on :
SCOTT FORSGREN - I followed him closely in 2008 when I learned my pile of symptoms were due to Lyme. Then I followed him, a few months later, to Pforsheim, Germany.
Had good fortune to meet Scott in person at a Lyme & Autism Conference in Arizona a couple years ago.
Scott, I am better largely due to following your your Path, advise and Newsletters.
Hugs and Tremendous THANKS!
Am still dealing with Hypersensitivity to EMF's. Hard to do anything except stay home. Am seldom on the computer, so it is a joy to tell someone hello, and Thanks.
Also wish to thank the same crew above, plus BeJoy, Rachelle, Gigi, Nancy in S.F., LeeAnn in Ark., Six and would love to meet more folks here in Arizona. Forgive me for not mentioning you if I owe you Thanks...recall is still challenged --
THANKS to all who post. You were ALL my lifelines!
Best to You All, Grace

Tutu, I know .... and I'm negligent, mostly because of my limited time here. I'm only here now because I'm taking a dinner break from painting ... and from 9-3 I was at the pilates studio for training. Don't know how I'll paint since my arms are like spaghetti.
James, thanks for the invitation!! I haven't been up there in a couple years, so we're due to go sometime soon!! We love Chicago, there is a ton to do there!!
Hubby is a happy guy. He showed up at the pilates studio. I'm in training all weekend .... we took the opportunity to use him as a test client to give us a break. He's a good sport.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Penguin... I LOVE the new penguin... very cute!!!
James.. tell this old person what the heck your new graphic is.. I can't see it!!! Posted by Dogsandcats (Member # 28544) on :
Lymetoo - barfing broccoli-yes, that is what James graphic is... or barfing kale from his batch the other day.
Posted by penguingirl (Member # 28688) on :
Lol D&C.
Tutu - it is a tree.. but yes it can look like broccoli or kale, lol.
Posted by 17hens (Member # 23747) on :
Tutu, D&C,
See my post from 11:47 this morning? James explained his little signature pic to me right after that so keep reading.
Was he being all mean to me or nice? Can't tell...
Still think it's from James and the Giant Peach!
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Hmmm... where did I see that???
Looks like a racoon in the middle of the broccoli... Posted by randibear (Member # 11290) on :
lor, looks like a bad scan of my kidneys or something....
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
yeah... except it's 3 of them... ! We lymies are weird...but.... Posted by James1979 (Member # 31926) on :
What's going on here? I leave for a short period of time, and when I come back it looks like the French Revolution! Man, I gotta take my moderation responsibilities more seriously now.
First off: Do you guys think my siggy pic is too large? I could make it smaller if it bothers anyone. I think the big pics are annoying, because they make every thread longer.
17hens - James and the Giant Peach is another good one! I completely forgot about that book! I think when I was a kid they made some kind of cartoon out of that book, and it was "revolutionary" because of it's graphics. Now it probably looks like a joke because of it's poor graphics. But I don't remember it.
You asked "was he being mean to me or nice"? Come on! I've never been mean to anyone on this entire forum EVER! Not even to Scorpio when she put that freaky thing on her siggy line!
I'm always usually just joking around. I never intend to be rude or mean to anyone.
Lymetoo have you figured it out yet? Did you read the book? I think you would really like it! I'm not kidding!
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
I minored in Spanish, not French... so nope.
oh... I read that a long time ago. Don't even remember much of it. Thanks for pushing me to look it up! Posted by Dekrator48 (Member # 18239) on :
I had to Google James's signature line and here is what I found for others that were also clueless:

(((hugs))) to Friend James. Yes, you are kind and fun. We all love you. No worries. I'll relax.
Roald Dahl wrote James and the Giant Peach. He also wrote BFG (my fav!), Twits, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc.
My son's favorite author way back when. He still has his collection.
One year we were in OC, MD, laying on the beach. Both my kids, almost in unison, looked down toward the Kite Loft (our favorite shop in OC) and exclaimed, "Mom, it's the BFG!"
And there, flying up in the sky, was a huge "man," all stretched out with his arms above his head, fluttering in the wind. It must have been the BFG for sure! Great memory...
