Anyone else ever tempted to ask if they can be TS'd?

[Haole Girl]

Sometimes I feel like I waste so much time on DU, I should ask to be tombstoned.

Am I the only one who entertains this crazy thought?

:shrug:


BTW, I'll have a mandatory hiatus coming up...going on a trip. So nobody worry about me.

:hi:

[Burma Jones]

1. It's been done

you can get a very speedy response from Skinner.......

[Haole Girl]

3. Really?

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

[ghostsofgiants]

5. Truly one of DU's finer moments.

Still brings a smile to my face.

[LostinVA]

39. That was a crazy time!

Hehehehehe.

[mainegreen]

25. That was classic.

Duer: "Tombstone me!"
Skinner: "OK"

And it was so.

:rofl:

[Hugin]

2. Yep... There was the historic chickletization of...

Walt Starr.

Took one thread... one reply...

and tah-tah.

[Haole Girl]

4. LOL

That must have been some thread!

[Haole Girl]

7. Wow. Thanks.

I doubt I'll go out with such style. :eyes:

[Hugin]

9. I have a post-it note here on my monitor reminding me...

To *NEVER* (even rhetorically) say... "Give me liberty or give me death" around DU.

NOTE TO SKINNER: This is *NOT* a request to be tombstoned! I repeat... NOT A REQUEST!

:scared:

[wildhorses]

12. i think it was because he asked so politely--

:rofl:

[Radio_Lady]

18. Oh, yeah. Walt Starr. He shared my middle name. What happened to him?

[RoyGBiv]

33. And less than ONE minute ...

Yet I've seen people suggest the admins aren't paying attention. Feh.

:-)

[BikeWriter]

8. Suicidal, huh?

[Haole Girl]

10. No

[Deja Q]

35. I do not believe he wishes to terminate his existence.

But I can empathize with his comment about spending too much time online. It is an addiction. For neurotypicals anyway...

[mzteris]

11. yeah, but

then we'd just wind up having to find someplace else - and NO PLACE is a good as DU!

(Besides, I'm not sure anyplace else would put up with me! :rofl:)

[Left Is Write]

13. People have done it, and Skinner has complied with the requests.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. Wouldn't you just find some other place to waste time?

:shrug:
Have a great trip! :hi:

[Haole Girl]

15. Thanks

Very kind of you to say that. :hug:

[mentalsolstice]

16. Addicts know how to work around the system...

After a couple of hours jonesin', you'd just come back under another name.

[Haole Girl]

19. I wondered if I'd do that

But, I don't think I would.

[mentalsolstice]

26. Ya think?

Don't mean to be a smartass, but you've only been here since April and you've already got 7000+ posts...yea, you're hardcore. BTW, based on those numbers, you're my new hero! But back to your problem, you'll need to hit rock-bottom before you can kick the habit. Has it gotten so that you forgo showers for days on end just so you can read DU. What about sleeping, eating and most importantly brushing your teeth. Additionally, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I recently went on a 10-day vacation, and on the afternoon I returned, I was back to my old tricks...sneaking the laptop into the bathroom, sending my spouse out on false errands, pretending to be sick so I didn't have to do chores, all so I could be here.

You'd come back...

[Haole Girl]

27. I'm your hero?

That was interesting. I guess.

BTW, do I even know you?

:shrug:

[mentalsolstice]

30. We conversed once before

Several days ago, about old lovers and contacting them...so, no I'm not a cyberstalker, just someone who empathizes. Anyway...your numbers, oh man your numbers! When I clicked onto your profile and saw that you've been a member since April 2006, and you have 7000+ posts, that's pretty impressive!

[Haole Girl]

31. Since you've been here since Jul 12th 2006, only,

I thought maybe you came back under a different name...no?

:shrug:

[mentalsolstice]

36. Nah!

I'm a true-blue newbie. However, I'm probably well on my way to begging in the streets for $$$ to pay for my DSL and my DU lounge habit.

[Deja Q]

34. To my knowledge, Admins track IP addresses.

Amusing what they will or will not do... :7 But it's good they track IP addresses.

[wildhorses]

17. when i first got on here--i kinda did--just cos--i dunno why

it kinda felt like goin' down in a blaze of glory:shrug:

i was SOo0o00 confused when i first got on here:P

[Haole Girl]

22. I hope you're not confused anymore!

:pals:

[wildhorses]

24. aww thanks--

:hug:


not any more...i was so intrigued and curious that i just kept coming back until...

i think i am finally getting the hang of this place:P

[GoneOffShore]

20. Nope, sorry, no

Because this is the easiest board I know to navigate and I don't want the hassle of learning a whole new way of posting or reading threads.

When I want a break I go on over to Flyer Talk or Egullet.

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. To ask if they can have their gender changed?

Mmmmm... nope. Never occurred to me.

:shrug:



:P

[Haole Girl]

23. Very funny

:P :hi:

[Nicole]

28. Not me

I just take a break when I feel I've been here too much. That's why I've yet to reach 5000 posts even though I've been here since 2002. :rofl:

Although I might make 5000 today or tomorrow. :)


Enjoy your upcoming trip. :hi:

[SPKrazy]

29. You're the only one!

well, my thoughts don't entertain being tombstoned, but I spend a lot of time here and certainly others have said it is wasted time.

:rofl:

Have a good trip!

:hug:

[Deja Q]

32. I did. In response to a couple of other people.

In public. For all to see. I was eloquent, stated my case, and asked if it would be the right thing to do.

Much to the sheer disappointment of those folks, I am still here.

[wildhorses]

37. and i for one am very glad--

:hug:

[Hugin]

38. Seconded.

:thumbsup:
