Don't do Face or other socials.

Don't really care if someone assumes Longprime, longprime, or any other of my previous CC avatars. Anyone can make a new fool of themselves or they make the avatars better, either way the old avatars win. evileye

They said this about you:

"LongPrime has not made any friends yet"

 

Note is LongPrime the same as longprime?

Or have you already been replaced with a "pod poster"?

winkNot to worry G, 

It's only contagious if you want to kiss me by saying one of my avatars on CC. 

I haven't tested CC, so I don't know if I'm in "the great beyond cc".  I am supposed to be dead, you know.

How long is it going to take you to pass into the "great beyond" of cyberspace?

Not that I don't enjoy your posts but I am afraid the wheezing, gasping, and coughing is going to give my computer a virus.

I added a little something after, 'perish'

"Even applies to politics"

Apparently CC doesn't like me. THEY deleted my thread, 'Dead" in the cafe.

:sad:

o well.

Its done. ashamed

Its time to go.

If you been reading some of my replies the last few days, you've would have noticed some hints. 

 

Itstoomuch, found this forum in a idle time when DS was 3rd termer, fall of 2003. DS moved on to grad school and, Thisoldman, took up the fun. As son moved to post school internships and to a university job, Longprime was incarnated. But all things end, DS is ending his time in the academic world, and I have promised myself that when academic life ends, I die. DS has completed his project that he was working on since 2003, first as a gofer for his ug advisor  and then as a staff assistant after his graduate school and internships to same.. This was an opportunity that he only stumbled upon and it just happened to develop well. I think he is done with this PI-project, at least for a few years until he's called upon to do more, he's the expert.  He has given his notice to the PI and Udub, and will be visiting with us for a couple of days. 

 

He is moving on towards this first goal of  human-computer design . We are thankful that this PI brought him him close to home in the PNW where he has been able to enjoy the city and outdoor life. He soon found a shared house and doing things that he never did, like doing the dishes, housekeeping, and gardening. The last couple of years, he has been able to develop some interesting  hobbies, too;  Which I think can be commercialize (but what do I know). He has developed this hobby into a great portfolio and hopefully a new position in the next couple of weeks. We saw the wheels turn in this head, but we never imagine the stuff that he's been years in ponderings. 

 

I have just one advice to past, present, and future CC'ers- Fire is better than being cold, and even fire will becomes obsolete. If you insist in the old ways and thinking, perish. 

 

Finally, for those who have daughters, With a little search, you can find me near by.  ;)  laughing.gif

Don't worry, I'll still post here. evileye

I haven't looked on CC threads, except the colleges my kids are on because of my personal paranoia. I feel like it is like McCarthy's era and they took names and created a watch list.

There is no such thing as a divide between government and education. Our educational system is set up by our government FOR our government.

Oy.

evileyeI try to get a dig in my posts, every chance I can get. It's easy to link education to politics and to budget proposals. 

Got a post on possible Government budgets impacting jobs. no

 

its getting dark in CC.  dead.gif

On the plus side, losing the political CC forum has given me more free time in my day.

On the minus side, I agree Poetsheart.  Not enough voices to make the conversation continue in the same way, as before.  

It had it's problems, but we had some fascinating and open conversations there that I have rarely encountered in the real world.  Tis a shame.

Yeah, they seem set on being hyper-vigilant about the no politics thing. I for one don't think the thread became particularly political.disbelief It was really about the law and the constitution as it concerns the meaning of "natural born citizen." People weren't even being argumentative. It was a mature, and interesting discussion. Some of the best discussions of that sort did take place in the old political forum, however. Now CC is not nearly as intellectually stimulating. I really miss level of intellectual discourse inherent in the old forum.cry There really hasn't arisen a satisfactory substitute so far, dispite the availability of this forum. There's not yet a critical mass of diverse participants to facilitate it here, unfortunately.

Right on both counts, BillyMc. Political threads are not permitted. Nor is discussing reasons for moderation.

Thread closed.

Probably devolved into a "birther" argument.

Also, this thread will be closed, too. Just a heads up.

I just commented on the Rankin county thread.  Wondering if my post will go poof, too.

Why soon? Why not instantaneously?

The mods could even make it retroactive by deleting ALL your posts.

Less than the whisper of a ghost...

Gone as if you had never been...

A phantom adrift in cyberspace...

OK now I am creeping me out.
