Hey, when I went, I was about the oldest person there, it was still crazy-fun.

Times are fun when you're having flies.
~Kermit the Frog

Hey!I wasn't even greeted by the bot,let alone being an intern!

I'll greet you!

:) Also, why cant you go?(Don't have to answer.)

:D I was just a newbie back then. Since, I've actually been invited, but couldn't go due to unavoidable scheduling conflicts. Hopefully next summer. Maybe.

Send a resume! Or just go visit. :P

ah HEM ! everyone else? Does that mean I am a nobody since I don't "get to go?" LOL

I'm a nobody too, ya know!

Oh, ok I didn't know your statement was self-inclusive :-)

We nobodies gotta stick together...

True enough, except if someone is still a nobody at my age, they are considered pretty much a loser.

I'm not a loser, I'm a winner...I've won prizes off the radio many times. I stopped counting at 35. the DJs know my name and address, etc.

I didn't say you....I said me (if you get to be my age, as I have, and haven't accomplished things). So much I have wanted to do and have not really accomplished any of them.

then you should support my Instructables Awards Idea. Then you'd get the most comments prize and be a winner!!!

And for first prize......a round trip around my back yard.... :-)

Damn!

_{*rushes off to find a new prize...*}

Trying to steer the conversation to be cheerful...sorry you haven't accomplished everything you want though...

Well, I never expected to accomplish everything.....a few things would be nice :-) But I am the one that should be apologizing....I shouldn't be online when I feel depressed. Sorry if I have put a damper on things here.

I just noticed ur going through mid-life crisis! which explains why ur always down. Turn that frown upsidedown!!!!! TURN IT!!!! TURN IT!!!

thats right....

_happy

I am not ALWAYS down, but I have my (extended) moments :-)

do 3 month periods count as moments?

_{that sounds weird....}

3 months ? One week with the wife per month is enough.

Oh, I am never depressed that long :-) I may be "on and off" for that long, but that is never a continuous condition with me :-)

you sound like the robot marvin from a hitchhiker's guide to the galaxie.

hopefully from the radio show, not the crappy movie.

This will all come to tears, I just know it...... :-)

You need some chocolate. Or some sugar.

Yea, verily!

Sugar makes me sleepy, and good pure chocolate makes me mellow :-) It has to do with the upcoming HOPE convention in NYC, it will be the last one at the Hotel Pennsylvania, and it looks like I had a shot at going finally. But my wife doesn't want me away for all three days nor does she want to come along. I was reminded of this moments ago, when I answered a post in the HOPE discussion forum at the 2600 site. And so I got temporarily depressed *sigh*...the depression will pass, as will the HOPE convention it seems.

You need vitamin B...

Really, I would rather just have the 3 days at the convention :-)

aww that sucks. can i join the people who didnt get to go to ibles hq club? i doesnt look like im going either.

I need to join.

This is still future: July 18-20 HOPE: HOtel PEnnsylvania

I am referring to the HOPE con in NYC....just a few hours drive or by train.

Yup.

First you need to pay me $100. Then you may ask Eric if you can drop by and say hi... ;-)

Ha!

Damn, he sees right through me...

She sees right through you...

Monk had a sex change? Man, he - sorry, she - is even more screwed than I thought! :-D

Adrianna Monk - hmm...

I've always been female!!!!!!!!!

Don't you watch "Monk" on USA????

Um no, I thought you were male...

...and now you've lost all respect for me? Is that it? Huh? :) jk

Nope, you've just had your respect get increased ten fold LOL.

Sad as it may seem, its true...

LOL. Not many women around here?

I remember 2 more: Punkergal & White Feathers

there's no more than six! xD

I remembered at least five, RS remembered 3 more besides Monk, and Patrik got 4 more.....what do you mean there aren't more then six ?

Well, we have to be somewhat scarce, if you can count us by 2's and 4's!

Yes, and I feel sad about that. You gals can do just as well as the guys and have a completely different perspective many times that is refreshing and inspiring.

'tis a joke.... =)

Oh, ok (sorry for the knee jerk reaction then :-)

Here are 3 others.....Sunbanks, Corinna.anni.roc, and Lisa.mucci

Did anybody remember me? (I'm a girl)

My apologies HK, yes I figured you were probably female but wasn't absolutely sure.

That's OK. But really. My aviator used to be pink, and know it's a Kitty with a bow. I don't know any guys that would be comfortable with either of those :-).

I have run into a few (some hair dressers and a few room decorators...) ....well, you know.....I never assume :-)
Anyways, nice to make your acquaintance Ms Kitty :-)

Nice to know you never assume :-) p.s. I was just kidding. I wasn't trying to be mean or rude :-). Please don't be offended at anything that I say, I never mean to be unkind - usually I'm just kidding, all in good humor, right? :-)

I know, I was just "playing along", I hope I did not offend.

Yes, all in good humor (didn't he used to sell ice cream? The Good Humor Man.... ) ;-)

HAHA LOL! Don't worry, I am rarely offended, pretty much the only thing that offends me is the use of bad words. Usually I find that since there are no hand gestures, facial expressions, etc, people tend to get offended easily because they don't understand that you're just kidding. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't offending and didn't seem rude or mean.:-)

Nope, you were fine.....I actually ask if I have offended others way too often (ask someone that has been around awhile LOL)

LOL!

:-) another way to say that is that I have been told that the only way I annoy and offend is by asking "if I offend", too often :-)

Yeah - the apologizing for your imaginary insensitivity is really getting on my nerves! Oh yeah: ;-)

Well, it did get on some people's nerves when I started here......it was very excessive back then...

Poor Goodhart...:)

I just have to have a little more confidence and a little less self-disrespect, and not assume I am making everyone miserable all the time ;-)

I think you're right. Actually, you generally manage to cheer me up. I've yet to be offended by you, and (in my experience anyhow) people let you know really fast if they're genuinely upset of offended.

Instructables just wouldn't be the same without you. :-)

Awww, now you're making me *blush* :8)

Lol. It's not bragging if it's true, right?

Hey, isn't that what Monk said in "Mr. Monk Takes His medicine"?

Wait, no. That's what the car salesman tells him! LOL! That episode made me laugh so hard when I first saw it!

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a kitty...

Well without thinking hard umm... I know of four (Canida, jessyratfink, threadbanger, and you)

Off the top of my head - add "pimp suit" rachel, "squishy breast" donnauwanna, and stinkymum (no epithet required)... ;-)

Oh, and "public enemy #1" Star, of course...

Wasn't there some some "Women of Instructables" forum topic or group at one point?

LOL, after I posted I remembered Star, when they were running re-runs of Leno during the writer's strike, she was mentioned.

Don't forget Kitewife!

I didn't know she had a username...

Yup - she even has an 'ible. (Well, a collaboration - she knitted a scarf, and I videoed it). I would let #1 & #2 have accounts, but they aren't 13 yet.

Ooo... *dashes off and makes Kitechild 1 & 2 accounts to sell later for $$* LOL, JK

Technical site question: can you have more than one account registered to the same email address? We have a "family address", which we all use (it's a subtle way of keeping an eye on what the boys sign up for), which Kitewife uses for her account (I use my own address which saves her having to wade through loads of science and technology newsletters to find her own stuff - it's also our nutter-filter).

Noope, tried already.

Yup.

I don't think you can. The quickest way to find out is just try it. Although you seem to have a habit of breaking the site_,

:D

That's why I asked first, this time...

The only thing is, it is a pain in the neck having two accounts. Take today. I logged in as Monk, logged out, logged in as -er, well, you know- , logged out, logged out again, then logged back in as monk. This just to log from monk to you know to monk. Phew!

LOL

Well, guys are the majority around here. The yarn contest brought quite a few (suspected) females, but few stayed.

I stayed! I did originally sign up because of the yarn contest, but now I get on Instructables pretty often, I just don't add much to a conversation, mostly because I'm not a very interesting person.

Aw don't....don't say that to yourself...... You...you're.....you're not......aww

LOL!

Phew! I thought you wouldn't get the joke!

I never get his jokes...

Maybe its just you?
