Following Paula's recent heroic battle against the keyboard and various (unnamed) foreign substances, I thought it might be fun to nominate our own favourite threads from BT and BT2 history. This is for those efforts that just tip the scales from sane to stupid or from logical to indecipherable.
Currently nominated are : i) Paula with her "OK whats up Doc" thread. Despite numerous attempts at edit it remains a classic of its genre and a warning as to what 2 bottles of white wine can do to a BT2 post. "we are recruiting "those' who mingle with a purpose - who know they have the quiet determination to maintain a healthy body. I'm going to unabashedly be keeping gpongy changing clothes for yo handy throughOUT WE'LL be like your best staff. . Just put it out there and see who runs with it. Who is causing pain to anyone? I think it's a little harsh - give people time and i think they could answser. Also known as 'talking to yourself' while focus is on yourself. It's at the most basic level. Get rid of the bacterial Forge ahead with getting rid all germs, bacteria, and slobber. I worked on this til this message made NO SENSE...it took some work,this post took me away from the magnitude of wha t we CAN DO . Assign teams, assign people, assjgn money. zzzz best. paula" ii) Reverett123 proposes: "juanhch's one-man thread and evening-long blow-by-blow report recounting his valiant but misguided experiment snorting mucuna. His talented use of typography and formatting, contrasted with his subdued presence prior to the moment, must be near equal to the placing of "Sex" at the center of everything. Near equal, I said". iii) Jaye proposes: "the best thread was the "swearing thread" and the best post of all time was mine, in a thread started by Rosebud, about something or other, in which she asked if you would like something else or sex.. I answered "Sex" with the word centered in the reply space. While people were wondering how I got it to center, the Braintalk server crashed for about a year. I felt so powerful". More info on the swearing thread would be welcome. iv) Aftermathman proposes for honourable mention: "the stressed out Romany gypsies thread and their susceptability to PD. Led to an argument as to how stressed out a gypo could be, bizarre". So come on folks don't be shy and make sure your own favourite post or thread gets the recognition it deserves. Neil. |

reminding you that gpongy is a typo, actually meaning spongy. It was at some point in that sentence that my mind drifted to Sponge Bob. I live with a 4 yr old, you see, so...........oh never mind. I'm going to go find the swearing thread. This one is already on google! paula

brilliant find, should be required reading for any newly dx'ed PWP (or any PWP come to that).
From cows to tampons, it raises the bar for Braintalk literary integrity. Thank you, Neil. |

"...Having said that I once had a dream I have never forgoten and you will see why.I actually dreamed I had died, and it was a very pleasent experience. I remember a sense of relief and felt I was up their suspended above the earth and all my worriea, probems, anything that made life a little harder, were lost and it felt so good all of the evil and bad things were left behind.
"Some might call it a religious experience, but I am not a religious person, but I have thought about it since the dream, and really wonder if dieing is not as scary as we might think. "Bruce" Bruce Landess passed away from heart disease not long afterward (anyone got the date?). Bella's Fabs has also departed this life; she still visits the scattered segments of this community occasionally, and is ever ready to extend a helping hand to a PWP. She is possibly the world's best living caregiver. Jaye |

Yes == Jaye and I have spoken about how infrequently Bruce posted or gave in to humor. This was one of his few times. And probably his best.
I stayed with Bella and Fabs once in kentucky and learned to ignore sightings of Fabs in various stages of dressedness...one can only do so much! What a robust place it must be - downundervile.....This was a couple made for each other...Bella and Fabs. Not one matches her gift of communicating......humor and playfulness right up there at the top. Salute to Fabs, Bruce, Hey Taxi, Carl (beloved caregiver), too many for one of us to remember......we knew them well and miss them Meanwhile, back to the future, which then turns me back again to ask if anyone has ever spotted a post by me called 'totally cellular' It goes back to pre-9/11 Was probably under lc_lil I never found it. it has a funny response from Carl McCleod, who couldn't be unkind if you paid him to be. paula
