We all have our computer hassles once in a 50 while. (: The eggplant recipe sounds very interesting and spicy. 51 52 I prefer sweets, myself. I'll try to find something yummy and 53 different to post. Meanwhile... Bacon and Peanut Butter Sandwich! 54 (No kidding. I love 'em.) 006=Usr:530 Jessie a. 09/25/91 05:42 Msg:6549 Call:37451 Lines:16 55 *!*!*!*!*!*! 56 Now that we have shared the obligatory food offerings with each other, I'd 57 sort of like to get to know the other people who read ladies room. How do 58 you happen to have found your ways to the modem world and with writers as 59 crazy people to know? 60 61 I am an artist (ceramics and sculpture) and I write sheerly for my own 62 enjoyment (children's stories, erotica and assorted miscellanea). I ended 63 up in modem world about 4 or 5 years ago when my "wretch" of a brother saw 64 a modem for sale in the paper and I foolishly went out and addicted myself. 65 My family subverted my sanity and life forever by talking me into a 66 computer in the first place and then into a modem. 67 68 I'd love to know a little about the others here. 69 Jessie 70 *!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! 007=Usr:610 Peace 09/26/91 01:44 Msg:6555 Call:37465 Lines:16 71 Jessie: Well, since we're being nosey, er, inquisitive... 72 My Macintosh SE was a high school graduation present from dear 73 old dad. The only writing I have done is the occassional school 74 paper and word processing. I haven't written for my own pleasure 75 in many years. As for modems, I owe my modem literacy to somebody 76 short, furry, and obnoxious. Yup, you guessed it. An X-boyfriend. 77 He arranged an actual e-mail account at one of the state univer- 78 sities for me, and showed me how to dial-up and login. The 79 terminal program I'm currently using was given to me by a sub- 80 sequent "significant other", who is no longer very significant at 81 all. (: It's almost funny. I'm not a techie; I'm a tech groupie. 82 Ah well. I happened across a list of Portland BBS's from 1989 and 83 decided to give a few of them a try. This was the first one I 84 connected to, and it is my favorite so far. Every so often I get 85 adventurous and try a new BBS, but I like Mikey and his Cistern. 86 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Peace $$$$$$$ 008=Usr:530 Jessie a. 09/26/91 06:05 Msg:6557 Call:37466 Lines:12 87 *!*!*!*!*!*!*! 88 Peace, I do tend to be a bit inquisitive (actually nosy is not my style as 89 my nose hasn't worked in years due to allergies). I'm a people junkie an 90 d I tend to like to dig out understandings of how and why they tick. And to 91 a people junkie, nothing is worse than no conversation unless of course it 92 is converstation that is lifeless and boring, hence I tend to hob nob with 93 writers and artists and tech people myself. I like a good mind almost bter 94 than I like desserts. But please bear in mind that I also like people as 95 they are and if something makes them uncomfortable, it will do the same 96 with me, so share only what makes you happy to share. 97 98 I just happen to dabble in people I guess because I'm kind of philosophic 009=Usr:397 dragon lady 11/14/94 22:33 Msg:8192 Call:47656 Lines:10 99 100 Greetings, who peeks here? This is Denise, an old-timer. Does 101 anyone know if Pam is truly in Seattle? 102 Why did Mike make a "ladies room"? Is it an old-fashioned courtesy, 103 or something requested? 104 Is it actually private? If you see this message sometime in the 105 decade, don't be shy: say something! Perhaps Mike was thinking 106 about the custom of females tripping off to the restroom together, 107 and hoped to attract a feminine touch to a lonely man's hangout? 108
