Oh? I do tend to fail tests people set for me.

I'm confused, but that's my usual state most days.

Would you like some root beer?

Root beer? Are you out of your mind. I don't know how Maddy can drink that stuff.

No. The 'key to the forum game' is just to be yourself.

Do you have any idea just how hard that is, Skell? Do you?!

Value but don't trust?

This is what happens when Maddy fishes for a compliment.

Now we're locked in disagreement. She finds you vexing. I find you interesting.

You could cement that disagreement by finding me interesting and her vexing.

I hope this clears things up.

Yeah, she can be like that, can't she? Next time, go over her head and message Snugs.

I had a chat with her. She promises not to make the same mistake again. If she sees both of you online, she'll strive to make the connection.

Snugs, it's good to see you! You've been so quiet we were worried Maddy had...you know...done something.

Thank you, Dillon. It's nice to see you, too.

Don't worry about Maddy doing something, she's all talk.

I love it, Ceka!!!

James Veitch is hilarious, and there are other examples of his work out on YouTube. That particular bit is probably the best explanation I've seen for why I love forums. They give me the time and opportunity to pretend to be smart enough to annoy annoying asshats back. Not that any of you are asshats, mind you. Nope. I love you all.

Yet forums don't give you enough time to pretend to be smart enough to avoid being annoyed by asshats?

I agree, none of them are asshats... and they seem to be pretending to be smarter than you.

ETA: Lordy, where are my manners? I like most of you!

The way the universe works for me, you'd see me trip on the way to the bench. Twice. And then keep falling off of it for no apparent reason.

Though the reason might not be apparent, she'll be sitting right next to you. When she pats a place to sit, find someone else to take it.

There's no truth to the rumor that she set her boots on fire while melting snow with a flamethrower.

You believed her?

(ETA: Maddy doesn't know how to thank people for wondering after her, so I'll have to do it.)

(ETA2: That ETA was my "thank you". I don't know how to do it either.)

You all need to improve your aim.

And please do aim a little left of center.

Regardless what she says, my side is right.

I remember a study some years back that theorized our minds more easily remember the difficult or painful experiences so that we're less likely to repeat them in the future.

It's more complex than that, or no woman would have a second child, and those of us who learn by observation wouldn't have a first. ;-).

Memories of pain can protect, paralyze or prime us. If you're excessively prone to remember pain, you're also excessively prone to perceive it.

I wear rose colored glasses not so much to forget pain, but to prime me for new experiences. I trust that any pain I encounter as a result will be quickly forgotten. I did not come by this way of thinking through hard work, nor has my way of thinking been severely challenged (or if it has, I've forgotten ;-). This is just the way I am, so I can't really offer instruction on how to do it, though there shelves at the bookstore filled with attempts.

Happiness is about expectation and gratitude. I don't expect life to give me more than I give it, and I'm grateful for what I get. I've lived a charmed life and have much to be grateful for, yet I see people around me who have much more and are still unhappy. You'll never catch me complaining about how the world treats me. It has no obligation to make me happy. That's my job.

I haven't seen my 23 boys in years, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of them hadn't worked out a business model analogous to Kobe beef, where humans are given routine white wine massages before ending up on the menu. I sure hope they still recognize me.

..and I thought OctoPussy was a lot of..octopi.

You might also wonder whether the company 23andMe isn't a facade for something more... nefarious?

I appreciate that you have gone to all this trouble to learn (--insert topic here---), but it is a vast subject and you are confused about a lot of stuff, and not just the things I have responded to. 

That tends to happen when you vomit what you've scrambled to learn in just a few minutes on the internet in order to look like an expert. 

Yeah, but that doesn't stop Maddy, does it?

At least I get to see her scramble.

I think the difference is who you blame when disaster strikes because you failed to follow the instructions. If you take responsibility yourself, you're a stuborn individualist, if you think it's everybody else's fault, you're a spoiled brat (or "entited" if you like), if you blame Linden Lab, you're an SL user.

When disaster strikes, Maddy blames me.
