VOR,

I just wanted to touch base with you to see how you have been doing with your progress on quitting smoking? I know it's tough to do, but, it CAN be done. Would love to hear from you. Take care.

Hello Sloane! How are you? Thanks for your concern! I am doing well, even though this quitting thing has been quite a challenge!!! So far I am winning...but every now and then it calls my name-LOL! So what is the deal with this 67. person? Is it Chrilos and all of his alias' coming out of retirement?-LOL! I thought we finally got rid of him!!!
Oh well-I do hope all is well with you!

VOR,
You were right all along about Dr. Demento! I am afraid I am responsible for this 2nd female version...
I was wrong for believing that everyone is basically good.
Sorry this demented person is now coming to your site...
Hope all is well with you!

Hey there bud,

Great to hear that you're working at it. Just take little steps. Just think that for every cigarette that you don't smoke is another 6 months or so of life your saving for yourself. I don't mean to sound corny, it's just that I lost my father to lung cancer last year (after he smoked for 45 years). You'll probably think: "oh I'll never smoke for that long.." but, somehow, tempatation lurks around the corner every day and well, you know the rest. The years catch up......
Yes, I am aware of the miserable schlep that leaves behind very odd sounding but negative messages on this site. They even sound like they're socially inept or delusional in some posts. Definetaly something wrong with them--the medications not working I suppose. Not everyone in this world can be trusted. They're just trying to spread their misery. And you what? It won't work! Not here. With our luck, maybe that 5-ton satellite that's in the papers will drop on them!!
Have a great day! :-)

My mother always said: "This world has all kinds of people." She's right about that - especially in the case of 67.213! I've known people like this my whole life, and I keep my distance as much as possible!

VOR, quitting smoking is the smartest decision you've made and I'm glad you're doing well. Both my parents smoked, but my mother quit. I wish I could say the same about my father.

Sloane and 209.,
Thank you both for your encouraging words! It has been rough but I am feeling a little more confident that I can get by without them!!!
And you are right, Sloane, about 67...what a freak!!!

Star,
Try not to be so hard on yourself....I have a sneaky feeling that Chrilos hasn't been far away-all along! I read what you and Scorpiobabe decided to do....and I think that it is for the best! He seems to thrive on the uproar that he causes but he tends to get bored, easily, when ignored! Try not to let him get to you!
Thanks to all!

VOR I am struggling wth the smoking situation myself...you sound like you are doing a lot better than me....I am not sure if it is crisls or dr demento who replies in such a nasty manner....any way good for him is he a libra anyway? I am curious to know what his sign is because he almost seems like a leo looking for attention....and good for you with your smoking...I've been on this site before ...a few months ago...

Hey All,

Yeah, Scorpio Babe and I are doing all right...took some abuse...but, we are cool.
I personally feel like an idiot, but, Scorpio Babe stood by me...
Boy, are there "multiple personalities of weird" out there or what? The last person who responded on this post before me just posted about the sexual organs of Librans...??
I just don't get it...
The only thing I can figure out is that you gave him the best fight!

Scorpio Babe, if you come by here...I think you should tell them what we figured out regarding medication! It is enlightening...

Thank you for understanding and being my friend!

Funny thing about some of these posts...if you imagine what the voice would sound like...sometimes it is a mans voice trying really hard to sound like a female voice...
Anyone familiar with Monty Python??

Seriously! I think he forgot which e-mail addresses or computers were "good" and which ones were "bad" and so forth...
So, now they are kinda sorta good in one post and completely nasty in the next!!! Amusing!

Send them to Aquarius site!

Someone earlier on this post had asked if Chrislos or Dr. Demento was a Leo, I seriously don't think he is. Leo's aren't this nasty and deranged. I say pay no attention to this so-called human being. If we give him attention, he'll just keep coming back. And he ain't worth half a minute honey!

Hi Sloane!

I failed to understand your last post...

If you thought in any way that I said something about you...that is not what I intended!
65.93 had responded here seeming somewhat normal and then posted a new post (which Duncan had the foresight to remove!) regarding the sexual organs of Librans! It was when I realized it was the same person as 67.213!
In fact, 67.213 complained about it on the Aquarius site!
Proof that they are the same person! He claims to be female, but this is not the first time he has done that is it—

Sloane, I consider you a friend.

Take Care!

Star, I goofed apparently--I guess.

When I posted the question, "Do you mean me?"--it was meant for the person that asked something like: "How do you come up with these answers?" And I could of sworn that it was on this post. I'm a little lost now. I THOUGHT it was this post but, I guess I was distracted somehow. Don't worry. You're A-OK in my book! :-) Now, I gotta find that posing question and re-iterate myself. Oh geez.

Hi VOR!
Scorpio Babe here! I am glad that you are doing well with your quitting efforts-I know how hard it is! I quit smoking, myself, 4 years ago!
I wanted to let you know what Star was referring to in her earlier post regarding-67. Star and I put our heads together to figure out where this nasty person came from-and interestingly enough we realized that there are some similarities between Chrilos and 67! The first one is the reference they both make to the drug "Librium"! As nurses, both Star and I agree that we have only seen Librium used in Chemical Dependency Programs! To me that is very interesting because Chrilos repeatedly made references to drug usage- in particular the drug Librium. Second, is the reference to Jerry Springer! I don't have to tell you that this was a common mantra of Chrilos...and 67 entered Duncan with the comment that we all belong on Jerry Springer! Third, where
is Carlos? or Christy for that matter?
Gone? or living in the nasty comments of 67.—LOL!
I hope you found this to be informative...Star and I just wanted to give you a heads-up on this one!
Take Care, VOR!
Your Friend,
Scorpio Babe

Hello Scorpio Babe, Star and Sloane!
Thanks for the "heads up"! I had a really strong feeling that he was back...pretending to be someone else! How sad that he can't learn to like himself and respect others! What can I say? Some peoples kids....lol!!! Maybe we should send him back to kindergarten...where he can re-learn how to "PLAY NICE"!!!
Take Care, all!
VOR
P.S.....To the post by 67....on how good that smoke tastes...keep on smokin'.....it will only shorten your life-span....lol!

You know, VOR, that when a person clicks on your message board name it gives no indication of anything about you!! Not even if you are male or female! (Just wanted to point that out to you! LOL!)
You should consider posting a pic!

Have a Good Day!

Star,
Funny you should mention my posting a picture on the board....recently I met someone online and after many e-mails she asked me to send her one. I did. Then she sent me a picture of herself and let me tell you she has to be the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!! I am completely intimidated by her...and like the moron that I am.....I haven't had the nerve to respond! Don't get me wrong here...I'm no slouch...but by all means I am no Mr. Universe either! She sent me an email today and asked me if I received her picture and she wanted to know if I would agree to meet her in a club-downtown on Saturday night! I am completely perplexed and have no idea if I should meet this girl in person! I am afraid that I will become some crazy, jealous, maniac whenever some guy looks at her....and that wouldn't be a good thing! I guess I need to find myself an ungly looking woman that only I could love- lol!
Take Care, Star.

Sloane, I checked it out - Chrislos is Christy, one of the meanest Scorpions around, and I let her know it! She thought Star was a Libra and that she was FAT! I corrected her, saying Star is an Aquarius! Mean people should go to hell!

Vor,

Seriously, I get a very positive vibration that you should meet this girl! I'm serious! I know I am a bit odd and that I get 'impressions' sometimes...when I do, I have learned to listen to them! (Wish they could guide me all the time!!)

It sounds like she is interested in meeting you...so, go for it! Libra men are very charming...you know you can do this! It will be fun!

I have met people that I met online...in fact, I met the guy I see (and have been seeing for a year now) online first! We started as a friendship...someone to do fun things with, and it has progressed into a beautiful relationship...

Anyway, you know how to behave in public...sure, she will turn some heads...beautiful women do...but, YOU are the one she is interested in meeting!! That is what counts!

Give yourself some time to relax..then get spiffed up and go out and become the best friend to a beautiful woman!
I am so excited for you! I think this is just what you need!

Yes! Have fun!
Take Care!

Oh, and VOR..no one on this board has ever ever thought you could be anywhere close to being a moron!

You are intelligent, sensitive, funny, insightful, and an excellent communicator...and that is just what I have picked up from the message board...

Take Care!
You will do fine!

Yeah! Great minds do think alike!

Hello Star!
It went GREAT! She is an amazing woman....smart, beautiful, funny, deep!!! We had a wonderful date and, although, every guy in the club tried to pick her up...she made me feel as though I was the only man in the room! That made me feel much better about dating a beautiful woman! I plan to see her again mid-week....and again and again!lol!
Cross your fingers....it feels really right!
Thanks, Star!

Hey VOR!

I am so happy that you met her, and that you had a wonderful date!

There really is no need to thank me! I, actually, had nothing to do with the whole thing!! But, I am extremely happy for you!! LOL!

I am glad that she made you feel special...even while other men tried to pick her up...(that is what smart, beautiful women do!)
Although, women look at it differently...at least, I think most of us do...
There are just so many beautiful women in the world...and many that are, do not think of themselves as being beautiful!
(I still turn a few heads at my age! LOL! My guy is just proud to be with me! And, we have so much fun together, I cannot imagine being with anyone else!)

I think this will last too!...I know...me and my 'impressions'...but, seriously...I get those 'positive vibrations' still!! At the very least, you will have a beautiful friendship...but, I highly doubt that it will not progress beyond friendship!

In any case..have fun!

Take Care, VOR!
