Second most utterly shameless ploy for attention!

[prolesunited]

I'm so utterly shameless, I'm copycatting my ploy for attention.

Say something nice to me. :D

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

1. You're a sweet, caring and thoughtful individual

and everybody likes you!

And...you get a cookie!!

[prolesunited]

5. I know for a fact

that not everybody likes me. But thanks for the compliments — and the cookie. :-)

[bigwillq]

2. You create very imaginative

copycats threads!:)

[prolesunited]

6. Thank you

but if I was even more creative, I would create my own thread topic.

[bigwillq]

7. You could do that.

You still have time!:)

[prolesunited]

9. Not really

I'm at work and posting between tasks.

[bigwillq]

37. I'm at work too!

But I'm leaving soon.

[prolesunited]

45. Hopefully, me too

Glad we could amuse one another.

3. Hi prolesunited

I enjoyed meeting you at the gathering in San Diego a little over a year and a half ago.:-)

[prolesunited]

10. Hi, Mike

That seems like ages ago. I remember meeting you and have great memories of all the fun I had in SD. :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

4. You're fun to spend time with, and you like good pizza.

:hi:

[prolesunited]

12. You really should make it back here

We're having more fun than ever.

[GOPisEvil]

13. I know. I miss it. It's been almost 3 years.

:(

[Beware the Beast Man]

8. Something nice to me.

[prolesunited]

14. You didn't have to take me so literally

:P

[Beware the Beast Man]

26. Heheh.

You have a good sense of humor. There, how's that? :D

[Zuni]

11. You are uber-cool

so cool, I hope no one beats you with a crowbar :P

[prolesunited]

40. Only the coolest kids

rank a beating with a crowbar.

No worries. My man has my back and is willing to travel.

[terrya]

15. Well...

If it wasn't for you...and that guy of yours...

I wouldn't have discovered the best reasons to be here. I'm thinking of that Labor Day weekend at Moody's a few years ago. :-)

You're a good, dedicated progressive and Democrat. And just a good person in general. :-)

Terry

[prolesunited]

25. You're so nice!

:loveya:

I'm coming up for martinis one day next week. Are you available at the beginning of the week?

[terrya]

30. You bet!

That sounds wonderful!

Please PM me when the plans are firmed up. :-)

[prolesunited]

33. What day is better for you?

Tuesday or Wednesday? It's a bar off the Mag Mile. Jason will call you, OK?

[terrya]

34. Probably Wednesday.

Yep...sounds great. Maybe we can get Micheal and Susan to join us? Or Rob? :-)

T

[prolesunited]

36. Wednesday it is!

Sounds like a plan. We'll work on it.

[terrya]

43. Perfect!

I'll be around! So looking forward to seeing you again (I'm sorry we didn't see you that weekend in June...you were very much missed)

T

[greatauntoftriplets]

44. That was only last year....

:hi:

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. Are you feeling well?

Recovering nicely? Your happiness is well deserved.

:)

[prolesunited]

24. Getting stronger every day

I walked four miles this afternoon and now I'm at work. I can't wait to get home to bed, though.

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. Excellent!!!

I didn't realize that you were back at work already. This is sooner than you had expected.

:D

[prolesunited]

31. Four weeks out

I've had no complications and I'm healing well so she released me. It's only part time, but we certainly can use the money.

[greatauntoftriplets]

42. And I know you enjoy the work...

and the challenge of it.

Not to mention the money.

[Ptah]

17. Your ploy works for me.

When I was a young man, I spent some time in Evanston.



:hi:

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. I was born in Evanston.....

Still is a wonderful city.

Welcome to DU.

[Ptah]

19. Thanks for the welcome

I was at Northwestern when some comtempories were shot at Kent State.





:hippie:

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. I graduated from Northwestern in 1971....

Medill.

[Ptah]

21. I was a freshman in the fall of 1969

If I had stuck with it, I would be rich and famous.

I remember a cheer at Dyche Stadium:

"Advance, adcance, ambulate over the turf".

and "retard them, retard them,
make them reliquinch the ball."

I spent a school year in Elder Hall.

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. I'm not rich and famous....

And I was a real oddball. I lived at home and worked in downtown Chicago part-time. My social life was strictly off campus.

[Ptah]

28. I'm curious, what was your field of study? n/t

[greatauntoftriplets]

29. Journalism.

n/t

[Ptah]

35. I was going to be a mechanical engineer.

I was fortunate to be part of the NU Concert Band.

My draft number was 26.

I freaked out.

If I'm not mistaken, the NU School of Journalism was ane of the
best in the nation.







:toast:

[prolesunited]

38. Hey, you two

This thread is supposed to be about ME!

j/k;-)

[greatauntoftriplets]

39. It is! IT ISSS.

:D

[Ptah]

46. I'm sorry, but this thread is about me

:hi:

[prolesunited]

48. Only 42 posts

and you're already hijacking threads?!?!? You'll certainly fit right in. :hi:

[Ptah]

50. I am grateful for your welcome

Just trying to find some friendship.

[greatauntoftriplets]

41. So you went to Tech.

Ironically, the triplets' grandfather is now working there.

Yes, Medill is excellent. Sadly, I am now a corporate whore.

[Ptah]

47. I'm lucky to be a shop rat for science.

PM for details

[prolesunited]

22. I'm much farther south

just over the Illinois-Indiana border, but Evanston is very nice.

[roguevalley]

32. you are very cute. this is a funny post. thank you. I needed the smile.

[prolesunited]

49. Thanks!

Here, have another smile on me :D

[Dervill Crow]

51. Your utter shamelessness is utterly charming.

I adore a good ploy.
