I would like to introduce you to GinBarn

[ThomCat]

She's not a newbie, but she doesn't know many of you here and she feels a bit invisible right now. It's time to change that.

Your mission (should you choose to accept it :P) is to pop into one of her threads and say say hello (and maybe post something smart if you're feeling smart today :)).

She has two threads here in the lounge right now, so she's making this easy for you.

Thank you,

Your friendly neighborhood ThomCat.

1. I know one person saw this thread.

I'm going to kick it so a few more of you do.

Be social, damn it. Or I'm going to go all Skittles on a few of you. :grr:

I'm a busy busy gal til then! Traveling to Cali and reconstructing my closet and writing and researching and whatnot!

[ChickMagic]

38. Woo hoo!

[fudge stripe cookays]

40. I'm still trying to get Al..

to be Captain Pike from the Star Trek "Menagerie" episode, but he ain't buying it.

I knew that had to be you guys on Central the other day the minute I saw the DU sticker. meep meep!

[ChickMagic]

41. I thought that might be you!

I told Derby that. How do you like our bumper billboard?

[fudge stripe cookays]

43. Very nice.

My reactions were, in order:

- Hah! Now THERE'S a Democrat! Woo hoo!
- Hey! DU! I probably know this person!
- Thought so! It's derb and gin! {{{wave wave}}}

Didn't wanna wreck the car though, so calmed down after that. Central's always so much fun in the morning.

[ChickMagic]

44. Isn't it just?

I'm glad we got to at least wave to you today!

5. Hi Ginbarn.

You have a liquor reference in your name, so you can't be all bad.

22. Actually, I'm a rat bastard!

I am a vicious, mean person and I don't like anyone. :P

If you give me a few minutes I could dig up some former co-workers to verify that.

[bigwillq]

17. Hello GinBarn!

[RedCloud]

26. Hola GinBarn

¿Cómo está la vaina?

Wow I got to greet you and check out my new keyboard for accent symbols! Double blessing.

[ChickMagic]

29. Muy bien, y tu?

Hi RedCloud! I haven't figured out the accents yet.

[RedCloud]

31. ¡Al rescate!

Hi GinBarn,

It seems that I have lost all my Word Perfect Documents (not used since last update)when I changed again to XP.

But I hope this retrieves 'em:

To produce the below symbols you need to set the number lock to "on" on the number pad to the right.

Then while holding ALT type the four digit code and let go of Alt and bingo!

Typing Codes

Á alt: 0193
á alt: 0225
É alt: 0201
é alt: 0233
Í alt: 0205
í alt: 0237
Ñ alt: 0209
ñ alt: 0241
Ó alt: 0211
ó alt: 0243
Ú alt: 0218
ú alt: 0250
Ü alt: 0220
ü alt: 0252
¿ alt: 0191
¡ alt: 0161
« alt: 0171

¡Buena suerte!

[ChickMagic]

32. That's awesome RedCloud!

I've printed it and posted it next to my computer!

[Kajsa]

I know the feeling.

And thank you, ThomCat,
for posting this.

:hi:

[ChickMagic]

33. Thanks Kajsa!

I was having a really bad day yesterday.
Thanks for making today better.

ThomCat likes to pretend to be a rat bastard,
but is very kind.

:hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

34. Hiya, Ginbarn!

:* Good to have you here. The Lounge can get naughty at times (no, I'm never an instigator....never. :P), so it's a lot of fun! :hi:

[ChickMagic]

It's nice to get to know you.....

Any friend of Thomcat's is a friend of mine!


So, you live in Texas?

I live in So. California, next door to LAX....


:bounce: :bounce:

[ChickMagic]

42. Then, I've been next door to you a couple of times!

Oh yeah - 9 generations in Texas. It sucks, but who am I to
break the streak?

Thanks for saying hello. Your name is very familiar to me
since I lurk a lot. :hi:
