Tota · Nov 4, 2001, 11:16 AM

Hi,
thought I should make my first post a topic to say hallo to everybody.
Don't get your hopes up boys, the 'girl' in the title is old enough to be the mother of most of you here.

Anyway: Hi !

pscates · Nov 4, 2001, 12:03 PM

Hi, new girl!
Welcome.

Matsu · Nov 4, 2001, 12:09 PM

Did someone say 'mother'... hmmm...

dr. zoidberg · Nov 4, 2001, 12:29 PM

hi there!

first question Tota: do you have a daughter between 18-24 then??

anyway, have fun at the forums.

....and while we�re at it: watch dr. zoidberg going "member"-status.... yay!
go zoidberg, goooooo!!!!

Hiya Tota welcome to the fora (I believe that's the correct plural use of the word forum, maybe not)

And Belle sometimes posts here too. Anyway, welcome Tota. Give Matsu a lot of room. He has a thing for older women. Or maybe he just has a thing for a particular older woman. Hmmm.

Norm1985 · Nov 4, 2001, 05:53 PM

Hi. Welcome to MacNN.

knifecarrier · Nov 4, 2001, 06:32 PM

I heard matsu has a thing for older men actually.

Anyway, why would it matter if she had a daughter 18-24? Seriously, if some really hot chick was posting on this forum, would it affect your life at all?

Jeez. You people need to get out more.

There are a couple others, but me and cpatubo are the most active, in the Lounge anyway...Welcome Gumby, you boys just need a feminine influence!!

Hi, Tota, nice to see ya around!

pscates · Nov 4, 2001, 06:43 PM

Great guys, scare her away why don't you? Jeez.

Relax and try to act normal.

MikeM32 · Nov 4, 2001, 07:49 PM

For the record I'm 33, what's weird about being in my 30's is that I'm finding both older and younger women attractive.

So Bring it on

Who says we read the news? I haven't been to the main page in ages!

Anyway, yah. Welcome, Tota.

(we haven't seen kacey in a while either, no?)

Matsu · Nov 4, 2001, 08:19 PM

Mike,

Yeah, I'm not there yet but I could definitely see that happening in your 30's. It's not entirely implausible that you might date a very hot 20 something who's mom happens to be a very hot 40 something (or vice versa). Actually, a girl I dated a couple of times in high-school, who was a nice enough girl, for some reason her mom just made me sweat. She wasn't stunning in that super model sense. Nothing like that, but for one reason or another, she just always looked hot, a look, a certain gesture, the way she moved around the house doing assorted domestic stuff... ohhh man. You know 10 years later I still think about her mom from time to time and something really dirty crosses my mind. It's funny cause I'll think of the daughter and never really have that same reaction. Shite, I'm gonna be one confused boy when I hit my 30's.

Sorry to belle and kacey for being a forgetful eep!

cpatubo · Nov 5, 2001, 12:55 AM

Just "the other chick" checkin' in...

Hello and Welcome, Tota! Tell us a little more about your background. What do you do, and how long have you used macs?

Nice to have ya aboard! And please do look into joining us on Team MacNN.

-Courtney

pscates · Nov 5, 2001, 01:21 AM

Have you noticed Tota hasn't checked back in. I think she's terrified of some of you.

Oh well. That's what happens when the chick-to-guy ratio on a computer message forum is 2 to 10,000.

[Edit: changed "ration" to "ratio"...duh!]

It's that low? Wow. I thought it was much worse than that.

Really?! you don't say!, well how about that....

Tota · Nov 7, 2001, 08:54 AM

Well thank you all, no I was not scared away, just a bussiness-trip in France. And off again now to Amsterdam, what I do ? all sorts of stuff, tell you later, gotta work

Millennium · Nov 7, 2001, 12:32 PM

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you here, yadda yadda yadda...

Anyway, hope you don't mind the general insanity of the place

imacman11 · Nov 7, 2001, 01:18 PM

Well...on the bright side, she *could* be a MILF.

imacman- DONT ANSWER THAT!!!
Tota- "milf" is a not enitrely appropriate anagram, secretly popular around male teachers and not so secretly popular with teenage boys.
So. Welcome.
And just where IS Kate, anyway? Her site (one of my favorites) has not been updated in MONTHS!

She said that she was going on vacation - maybe it was a month ago. I think she said it would be for 3 weeks but I think she's been gone longer. She maintains the AppleInsider member profile page. She said all this in the thread for that page that's over at BadFlamingo. I guess I could surf over there and find out how long ago all this was.

roger_ramjet · Nov 8, 2001, 10:50 AM

The post was on the 23rd of October. She'll still be away a little while longer.

maxelson · Nov 8, 2001, 11:03 AM

Thanks! Good hustle, there, kid.
