I went back to Colleengael because it is the name I have always signed my art with way back before the internet when I was still in school. OldSouls was a good substitute but it feels right to be using my original nickname again.

The name I'm currently using is one I used somewhere, looooong, long ago. I thought it was here, but there is no way for me to know.

I think the current diagnostic manual would call them multiple personalities. Either way, it means you always have someone interesting to talk to.

Ahh, I've missed you, n. At least I think I have; you never know with those alter egos.

A bunch of us were on Facebook, where you can't hide behind a screen name. I noticed that some folks who were pretty cranky here are actually quite nice when they're posting under their own names.
Also, I understand that there are very good reasons for people not using their real name (for the sake of their family's privacy, etc), but I have no such concerns myself.Last edited by David McMurdo; 05-28-2017, 11:32 PM.

n, could you add "antidepressants" as an option? A therapist acquaintance slyly commented once that it is amazing how much nicer patient's wives wives are when the patients are taking antidepressants.

I feel the same way. I tend to stay out of political arguments nowadays. Not worth the time and frustration.

One thing that bothers me about life is that you often meet people that you could get on great with if only neither of you had strong opinions on subjects. But you do. And so where you could have had a positive relationship, it just isn't possible unless both of you are willing to bite your tongue. I like the people of the Highlander forum and don't particularly want to have animosity with any of them. It's not easy to restrain yourself some times though. I won't even look in certain topics if I feel that's what it'll take.Last edited by David McMurdo; 05-23-2017, 02:11 PM.

Delete is a great stress reliever.
As for join dates and post counts...everyone should check old files they may have saved or printed out. If you see yours or anyone else's name listed with the rank, join date or a post count let Andrew or one of the moderators know so it can be changed. I know I printed out pages for some of the chain stories to make it easier for me to read. Same thing with some of the art designs and games that went into the Forever Highlander gift bags. I know others have saved some pages too. It just takes some time to dig through actual paper backups.

I think they can only be restored if you know, remember, or someone else knows when you first registered. I've lost mine very nearly forever.

Why...
9A. Getting older kills the fun.0%0B. I've somehow become a half-decent person.11.11%1C. Brain damage.11.11%1D. Heart Disease.0%0E. All of the above.11.11%1F. None of the above.0%0G. As above, so below.33.33%3H. Both E and F.33.33%3I. Love Lucy.0%0...am I no longer an a$$h#le? Correction: why am I no long such a blatant one? I find myself reading a thread, getting a laugh out of something, shall we say, "foolish", and clicking reply to share my opinion on the matter a la the good old days. However, I end up just discarding the reply halfway through thinking that there's no reason to say what I intended.
What the hell is going on?
The previous n107s would be rolling in their graves (had I not burned the bodies).
P.S. When are our original join dates n' such going to be restored?
