A SoWal Cyber Death at 3,000 Posts.

When I got to 500 posts here a friend of mine told me people who post here "a lot" were "sad and pitiable, and had no real lives.". I believed him, but only briefly, until I had found 40 new friends (I counted), some closer than others--sure, all of them I could just hug-- I feel that comfortable with them, and will continue to do so.

There are 4 sowallers I STILL need to meet after my "cyber" death at 3,000--one nice gal is in Chicago, one lives across the bay, one I am befriending today on facebook..and one I JUST HOPE TO MEET--his name is 3 lower case letters, he is always on the poli forum, and I want to be just like him when I eventually grow up (even though we are the exact same age)!

IF YOU ONLY HAD 5 POSTS left what would you say or do here?

How would you like to finish your SoWal 'cyber" life? I think I am going to PM a few strangers here and say I am sorry for some of the things I may have said "in the moment"... :cry:

....now, onto become a full time lurker, or one of the SoWal "ghosts". :wave:

bye! It is better than being banned (that is like going to hell).

Let's see. If it were me I would at least use one post to EXPLAIN myself. Geez! :roll:

Is it April Fool's Day?

I just hit 5,000 posts -- am I a loser now? :lol:

Wait don't answer that.

Um, there is no need to go to lurkdom! :wave:

...I hate to brag, but I am a way BIGGER loser than you.

I congratulate you on hitting 5,000 posts! It seems we forget to applaud these milestones as we did in the past. (maybe we all got a life or something

) I thank you for bringing class to this message board...I have learned a lot from you.

hnooe...I saw a few of these on the road to Houston yesterday, but you are still the original DQ! I think TFT is correct...an explanation would be a start. Be sure of yourself...another poster had a big going away bye bye party and didn't last...he came back. ;-)

I wonder if your friend waits for the newpaper every day to get his/her news and information.. The world has changed and I find sites like SoWal to be extremely informative and allows me an opportunity to insure folks are getting both sides of the stories as they unfold. Not to mention, I get a lot of business from this site! Rock on SoWal and I am going to keep posting! Living the dream!

Bummer! This is like a cybercide. I was going to post "Seasons in the Sun", but this is better. I miss the 90's.

Is it really me? Oh heck! I thought a SoWaller is someone who actually goes to the real live SoWal but if I expand my definition Mr. Cyber Death might be thinking of someone else...oh well, easy come, easy go. I guess I can't be flattered any more. :lol:

Seacrestkristi was someone who couldn't string more than two words together without inserting a smilie. It made anyone older than a first grader totally blinded in the eyes.

Hey, you'd better hurry and get that email to me- I am the "one across the bay" right, hmmmmmmmmm?

What happens if I lose power and I have to worry about my social standing on sowal for days on end? Nevermind how horribly guilty you will feel if I get washed away and you never got to speak your peace to me.

Hmmmm, if I had to write my last few posts, I'd use one to say thanks to all the SoWallers who have been so much funn to meet in person and who have become face-to-face friends, too. I've been too crazy busy this past year to stay in touch much (and I hardly get to SoWal - I used to get there a lot), but my heart is very much connected to SoWal and SoWallers. And I'll be baaaaaaaack! And hnooe, you don't leave SoWal, you hear!!! People who have real lives can do face-to-face and virtual lives at the same time - life is way too short and being a SoWaller face-to-face and virtually doubles the fun. You'll love meeting Mermaid in person (and Merman, too).

Don't be taken in by any talk of "quitting" SoWal, Kurt. People who leave his message board--for whatever reason--slip away quietly and unobtrusively, making way for new posters. It's the ebb and flow of life.

The ones who trumpet loudly that they're cyber-dying, waaaal, let me just say there's a reason they post on the anniversary of Elvis' death. They never quite leave the building. ;-)

I think Miss Quitty should post now on the Cyber Death.

You can't leave, hnooe. Lurk if you must. You are one of my most favorite people on SoWal. Just go to happy places. You could catch up on the blogs. ;-) The newspapers, radio and television just don't give you the complete news picture of what is happening in Walton County. You have to check in here to augment any other news source.
