What Did the Cellar Ever Do For You...? - Page 5

Undertoad · 11-30-2009, 08:20 PM

Handful at best and that was 16 years ago. I think there are 5 current Dwellars who were onboard at that time.

I think I was too young to join the cellar...that many years ago. That's a strange thought.

I am sure I can't be as eloquent as the rest of you guys, but here are my thoughts:

The cellar for me has been a social outlet in times of seclusion (Kansas and the mountains come to mind.) It's been a way of making friends...though I am horribly slow at it and incredibly shy in real life. It has been a place to bounce off ideas and get good, honest answers from intelligent people. It has been a place for me to experience some of the deepest, saddest moments as well as some of the most triumphant joys through the writings of others. I feel like I know you all so well, and hopefully you know me pretty well, also.

Bravo case and Elspode!

These are great

I remember that party! It was my first time meeting Cellarites too. Susan Crane was there too, IIRC. She of the anniversary edition Corvette, right?

noobs can be welcome here or not. We welcome all comers but remain intolerant of jerks and attention whores. The key is maturity.

Rich, the proper pronoun is 'her', not 'his'. Even then.

Well I've been around a few years. So I'll put this out as and answer to Sunday.
A Rednecks answer.
When I have a few bucks, I try to send some to Tony.
After the storm "Katrina" I got money in mail from members. I got Christmas cards from across the pond.
I got and e-mail telling me to take my dog to vet, checks in mail. I have no reason to doubt this as true.
I very seldom PM anyone. I did a few times. Once I got an answer that upset me, so no more.
BTW! I've drunk up my fruitcake whiskey. So the warning is out, unless I return to bottle shop. Merry whatever---"ya'll"

In a real sense the cellar saved my life

xoxoxoBruce · 12-18-2009, 09:55 AM

Amongst many other things, taught me the origins of the word "hinder".

Not to sound too 'mushy cushy' as capn would say....but the cellar has actually broadened my horizon! I knew there was another world outside of this small town but never really had a concept of it. Thanks guys and gals and thanks capnhowdy for introducing me to the cellar!

capnhowdy · 01-08-2010, 06:43 AM

Welcome to my world.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-09-2010, 12:12 AM

It's a trick juju, we're all capn's sock puppets.

capnhowdy · 01-10-2010, 07:22 AM

It has shown me how much my wife actually 'works' at work....

jujuwwhite · 01-10-2010, 08:58 AM

OH fucking well! Just as long as I get my paycheck every 2 weeks and still save a few lives along the way!! Smart ASS! LOL

Shawnee123 · 01-10-2010, 09:06 AM

I couldn't do what you do, juju. I can't imagine the calls you must get. You must have nerves of steel and a way with people!
