aoeu: Please allow me to introduce myself anew.
I heard about teh GOS at /. within a month of getting crappy broadband in 2008. I lurked there about six months before I had a decent idea for a diary. It had a mistake but I don't regret it.
I've lurked both here and there for a few days and only registered here.
I care for my mother and she is in mid to late stage Alzheimer's. Eight to ten years depending on who is counting.
I've delivered around a million newspapers. Trenton, New York, Chicago, Bloomington, and Indianapolis.
PERSHING was a tab unit and I was lucky to serve ten years in a peacetime army.
I have repaired thousands of cars and light trucks.
I promise not to be a dick here.
Don't fsck with GUS or Pooties. Personally I'm with the Woozles.
This is my first post and I haven't yet figured out how to add either a profile pic or a diary pic.
Neither here will include the vase.

Welcome over here.
So far this group has been refreshing, especially after the last month over there.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
Welcome aoeu...
to add an avatar pic go to: "My Account" in the header banner at the top of the page. Than select "Edit" and it will take you to your user profile where you can upload a pic to our library, and fill out optional fields if you so desire.
There is several ways to embed a pic in a comment or essay:
1-Select the first icon above the editor, it's the "Insert/edit image" icon, enter the URL, width and height (optional), Alt. text (optional), and position (optional), it will align the image to the left or right for text wrapping.
2-Select the "Image" link below the editor, that will open our File Browser where you can upload an image to our library.
3-You can embed an image the old fashion way by using HTML to point to it, either from somewhere on the web or from a image hosting site.
And don't do what I did and forget to press "Save"
Glad to see..
you made it Ender.
Greetings. I was wondering how long it would take you to arrive.
Good to take the time to introduce yourself
You're a man of wealth and taste
you've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
were you 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain?
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and Left that old place
We're pleased to meet you
Hope we guessed your game
But what's puzzling me
Is the nature of your name.
Lutefisk?
The nature of my name.
I key aoeu rather than asdf.
Dvorak.
Peace?
Peace is even better than apple Pi.
And divides more evenly.
Lutefisk?
Well, at least it's not surströmming or hákarl!

There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know.
I'm Scandinavian (sorta) but I draw the line there.
Now, marinated herring fillets (kilu) on open faced egg sandwiches with rye bread (peenleib) is another story ...

I haven't chosen one yet.
Teh GOS one is obviously not appropriate here.
Peace?
Peace?
Choice of avatar is up to you, of course.
But I have always liked the vase, and it would be esp'lly good if you can get it spinning again.

yes.
Sorry, posted at the same time..."yes" refers to shared curiosity about your name, not the conclusion that it does not fit here.

Welcome aboard.
I think you'll find this locale embraces lefties and peace.
Happy to see you.
I was hatched a leftie but the nuns beat it out of me.
Seriously. One penguin walked around with a 3 foot iron ruler and would smack any student she thought needed "improvement." Given my penchant for thinking rather than reliance on faith, I had bruised hands for a long time. Writing with the devil's hand did not help matters.
I still have a reaction whenever I see a gaggle of nuns approaching.
Jeez... You too?
The French nuns made my left hand unusable long enough to make me write right-handed.

Way back when, in my yute, a bishop decided to visit the school.
So he had a Q&A, and promised to give whoever answered the most questions a $5 bill. (This was 1965)
after 10 questions, I was the only one left standing.
So the bishop decided to change the rules (after whispering with the head penguin) and required me to answer another question. Then another, and another, and another, all of which I answered.
Finally, the bishop asked me a question (which I had read a book about just a few days before) which could be answered correctly in two different ways. So, I asked him, "But there are two answers, which one do you want? Both?" He responded, No. Pick one. I did, and of course he claimed it was the wrong one. So he said, "you lost, and you don't get the money."
Even kids in my class thought that was just absolutely unfair. For me, it was SOP by Christian terrorists.
I too was subjected
to the Irish Dominican variety of nasty penguins. In elementary school they whacked me with rulers and boxed my ears with erasers full of chalk dust. They expelled in the 10th grade, because I was a heretic and a bad influence on the other girls. I went to an girls exclusive boarding school that my parents stuck my rebellious ass in. I liked arguing in religion class with the sexually repressed Sister Fatima who would lead the class with a morning chant. "What do we Hate girls" and we would shout 'SIN'. I would quote Camus and Alan Watts and argue about how bizarre the holy ascension and all other required leaps of faith were. 'They let me go right away they were very paranoid'. All it did to me was strengthen my leftie rebellious tendencies. These days they disguise them selves with out the medieval garb but I can still tell when a gaggle is approaching or even a single straggler.
I am SOOO damned
Glad to meet you! Anyone who reads Camus and argues with penguins is on me A list.
Say, we 99ers should think about a meat meet.
just remember, I'm keeping my eye on you
what brought you here? Is it "another outlet" for you? Do you have any problems with dKos? I'm curious
No.
My future is between homeless and a rental SRO.
Peace?
I hope it's the latter
And definitely not the former.

Welcome, I think?

Come, come. We expectorated that
The great Orange Satan would react poorly if we started to do well. Whether he is here on his own or on instructions, we should be nice and polite. And welcoming.
You can do what you want
I'm done with turning the other cheek for people. At the GOS, this poster is grave-spitter in chief.
You should be happy my responses so far have been as nice and polite as they are.
prog - weirdo | dog - woof
Absolutely true.
But, how we behave, compared to that petty, nasty, and autocratic shyteheel who owns that other site, is precisely why this place is so much nicer. Perhaps AEIOU will be aware enough to see the difference, and recognize just how crappy the other place has become. Everyone can learn. Everyone can be a better person. I guess KOS can only be bitter and basically a shithead. People can follow his lead, or they can be far more productive, more rational, and empathic humans.
I'll try
Thanks for the advice.

Dive on in
The water's fine. Love the UID.
Welcome, I guess.
Don't really understand why you want to be here. You didn't really seem to like many of us when we were at TOP.
But, nevertheless here you are, perhaps we can make a fresh start of it.
P. S. Please don't mess with my tags at Hellraisers, and remember that here at C99 you are not Boss Koss's cop, and maybe we can get along OK.

Been years.

I want to fix thisthat to ThisThat.
Peace?

Peace?
Folks, let's be cordial...
I knew exactly who aoeu is when I saw his registration, and I approved it. There is nothing here that cannot be read publicly by a non registered user. The only extra info that can be culled is the memberlist and frankly that could be had quite easily by someone using an alias.
If this is a test of how sincere we are in our welcome mat, let's try to pass that test and welcome aoeu as we would any other new member, until proven otherwise.
Wa chew sed
I whole heartedly agree.
Although, I, too, had trepidations seeing the vowel guy here so soon. I expected him later, as even more victims of the Gross Orange Hammer find their way here. We shall also see if AEIOUY also returns the favor, something that I never saw over there.
Yup.
Good to see you here, vowels
I'm not kicked off there yet, but figured I'd follow my friends, more and more of whom are here.
Please check out Pet Vet Help, consider joining us to help pets, and follow me @ElenaCarlena on Twitter! Thank you.
Welcome aoeu
I have to say I'm surprised, but here is where the action is. I hope everyone is content to let the past be the past and just move forward in this space. I did enjoy your posts where I did know what that object was.
I shave my legs with Occam's Razor~
Good to see you here, aoeu.
