Now this 'king' and 'queen' business is the american thingie of a popularity contest at high school - right? Appalling tradition IMHO. But anyways, to continue the notion of a popularity contest (just for fun) I would have to say that Phillipa should get to be both, Phillipa you transgendered thingie you.

> Well, I am now curious about this Babblemail thing. I think I would like to sign up for it, turn it on or whatever one does in order to participate.
We're getting her turned on! Yay!
I can tell you're not already, as your name is in black, at the top of your post.
> I have looked everywhwere around her I cna think of to look and can't find it.
I do wish Bob would fix that, by putting a link on each page..... :-/
> How do I do this?

> Thanks
> ShortE, who has no expectationsIn future, if you just want a quick and dirty way to the Babblemail send page without looking for a link, just find any post where the "Posted by XXXX" sender's name is in blue. Click on it, and you'll be in Babblemail. Change the send to name if you want to Babblemail somebody else.
Have fun!

Hey, when you go to type in your posting name you can type in a few varieties that will still go through as your posting name. For example I can type alexandra_k as my posting name and then my password, or I can type ALEXANDRA_K or Alexandra_K or even a*L*e*X*a*N*d*R*a*_*K (well, if there was room in the box I could).
How about phillipa for phillipa and PHILLIPA for gnepig. or phillipa and phillipa* or something like that?
Hey that gives me a naughty idea:
f*u*c*k hahahahahah

> I agree with Lar. And I think if you babblemailed someone and they didn't respond or their response was lukewarm, then that is a cue that maybe they are not interested. Just like IRL. But if it's on, it's on, baby!

> ggLordy, I hope no one interprets my lack of response that way!! The truth is that I'm just awful at email. I wish the email screen looked like this one and I'd be just fine. But it doesn't. It's all blank and unfriendly. I'm miles behind answering my emails and it's mainly because I hate the Yahoo email program, not for any other reason.
I'm sorry everyone. I hope I haven't made you feel hinted off.
(Are there better screens elsewhere on free accounts?)

Ah. So it would be the same with a visual picture - lots of *** and ... with the *'s in the shape of a cuss word. Aw, that would have been my next move.

My partner & I met in Babble Open in October. We continued communicating via IM, then via phone until we met in person in mid-November (I flew out to visit her). BTW, this is a bi-coastal romance I'm talking about! Now it's a committed, permanent thing and I plan to move by April. I'm going for a 3-week visit on Friday (thank god!). So, good things can certainly result from personal contact via Babble.

I feel the same way. Seems that most people are familiar to others and I'm not.AG

ronThat's wonderful. It's good to *hear* good stories. I hope everything works out for the 2 of you. Care to tell us who your other half is?

Don't remember if you were around in October when we had our "coming out" party. Here's a link to the thread: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/relate/20041015/msgs/411029.html

Hullo Ghost,
So can any of us do anything to make you feel more welcome? Hate to see someone scarper because PB hasn't been holding up its end of the deal. Honest. I'm not being facetious. I posted this same question to someone on Writing about five or six months ago, and we've gotten on really well since then. Toss out a conversational thread or Babblemail me or others if you like. Or we could submit Dr. B's name to the Fab Five and see if they'd be willing to give him a makeover (that pixie look is SOOOOO 1600s). Atticus

Aw Atticus, that was all but archived!
Actually it was kind of an accident. I wasn't too sure what to do with it but wanted to make it clear what I was apologising for. [*]
Now that was a clever idea.
