Host ,'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Wow, y'all. I just skimmed through 500+ posts because I had to find out what could inspire 500 posts in one day. I thought it must have been Gus, I should have known better. It was the booze stories.
Still, so glad I read it all just to see this:
Cause, Grace? Coming home this May!
WOO!! to the HOO! Go Gracie!
It's gonna be such an amazing change for all of you.
And msbelle, I am so sorry. What a grrrr.
That was an incredible night of skating.
(Although I'm afraid that Carmen must join "Love Story", Phantom, and "The Impossible Dream" on the "Be Original Already" list.
Yay Grace!
Yeah, I thought all the performances were great, and the results made sense. Is it just me, or was there a real serenity about the proceedings? The girls and women (since some skaters are not adults) seemed so content with their placings; no Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding or Rosalind/Elaine conflict here (Zayak? Sumners? The last names are escaping me).
It wasn't just you. I'm sure if I lived in Korea or Japan I would have felt more drama. But, it was great just to see everyone do their best. And the top three were all just beautiful skaters. And I'm glad Joannie medaled or I think I would have been crushed.

Nothing beats the battle of the Carmens with Katerina Witt crushing Debi Thomas, which I remember thinking at the time was just punishment for deciding her Carmen should live (@@).
Oh yeah, I remember that, too.
Wow, that was some great skating.
Man, remember our long outage and Zoe invading People's Forum where the old backup site used to be?
I forgot about that! Didn't she send an email some time later to apologize and let us know that she was better?
Is there any way to know how many active posters there are now? As opposed to just registered users?
Schizophrenic off her meds, and yes, she did apologize. Still, upsetting.
Woohoo Grace! Such wonderful news.
msbelle, I'm so sorry. Vibing some equanimity to mac.
Damn. I did like Gus. I mourned--and still do--the person I liked and thought he was.
Y'all been busy in here today.
I still kick myself over the Gus thing, because I had my doubts, but couldn't bring myself to voice my doubts publically. If I'd known "he" was jerking tommyrot around, it'd have been a different and much shorter saga.
Altogether, considering what nasty financial and/or emotional stress other "characters" have done to people and/or communities, "Gus" was small potatos, but I'm still spitting mad to find out that the imposture is still going on in other venues.
