May 2006 - WELCOME ALL NEWBIES!

SteveBsjb • May 4, 2006 10:20 am
If you're a guest sign up and post here.

Having survived the horrors of Cellar-hazing, I welcome you all! Be a friend and introduce yourself.

I'm Steve, I'm 37, earn my living in NYC, and enjoy being single. I'm a Met fan, but not a Yankee hater. I am turning into a health nut, but I could still drink you under the table. Jager and Red Bull is my favorite drink currently, but I am afraid what a lot of Red Bull is doing to my health (not the alcohol, the Red Bull).

Don't be afraid of making short witty posts here, even if you are starting a new thread. There are some bullies here that would like to scare you off, but isn't it worth it to express yourself?

Steve's definition of hazing:

1. Show up, act like a 13-year-old asshole.

2. Get called on it and treated approprieately.

3. Whine incessantly about 2.
Stormieweather • May 4, 2006 10:59 am
Ok I'll bite.

I'm Stormie, a 40'something mother of 3. I'm an avid reader and self-employed accountant. I enjoy crafts such as jewelry making, sewing and gardening. Boring huh? Fine. I'm ALSO a muscle car fan, world traveler, scuba diver, an escapee from an abusive marriage, MMORPGamer, bottle redhead w/green eyes, and seeker of knowledge.


Nice to meet you all! I am enjoying your site and the 'personalities' here very much.

Hi Stormie! Welcome to the Cellar! Wow, you don't seem boring at all! You seem like a great catch, and probably a cool mom. What role playing games do you play? Also, ever see a movie called "From the Hip" starring Judd Nelson?

squeedler • May 4, 2006 11:19 am
Greetings all!

I'm a geezer (53 y.o.) residing in San Diego, CA. As an aging hippie, classic rock and home recording are my passions outside of wife and family. Celebrating 25 years of marriage in July, and all things considered, it's been great.
I stumbled upon this site purely serendipitously and it looks like a pretty cool place to spend some time, seeing what the world at large is up to through different eyes. Looking forward to hearing, possibly sparring with y'all.

I'm just sayin' . . .
SteveBsjb • May 4, 2006 11:22 am
Awwwww, thanks Chey! I appreciate that. I feel the same about you! Though you're female, that making you a very nice woman! Which is a good thing. Insert tab A into slot B.

Squeedler... 53 ain't a geezer! Not anymore! Congrats on the 25 year anniversary! That's amazing! What's better than classic rock? I'm listening to an old Who song as I type!

I play Everquest 1 and have played World of Warcraft. MMORPG's are great entertainment if you aren't big on the club/bar scene and not terribly keen on leaving your children with babysitters. They are relatively inexpensive as well.


"From the Hip" = Stormy Weathers...nope, my nickname didn't come from that or from the porn queen of the same name..lol. I chose the name when I first became acquainted with the internet and need a pseudonym. It was fitting as I was experiencing a turbulent period in my life and was quite angry and destructive. It was an enlightening time and I am very happy it is behind me. However, the name stuck and I even use it as my character name in EQ.

SteveBsjb • May 4, 2006 11:34 am
To Stormie: College friends and I used to play Asheron's Call. That's Microsoft's version of Everquest. We had a lot of fun, but like everything else, it kind of fizzled out. I'm buying X-Box 360 soon, to try that out, see if I still have what it takes to invest hours and hours playing video games. At 37 (soon 38) I am tired of bars and clubs, the late night scene. Though I also know I'll never meet someone new staying in my apt playing video games all the time.
squeedler • May 4, 2006 11:47 am
Thanks, SteveB!

Classic rock rules! IMO, there has been nothing really [U]great[U] (read innovative) in rock since perhaps the mid 80's, if even that late.
I know I may get righteously flamed for that statement, so prove your case, ye naysayers!!! ;)
Good to be here.

Hello all.. Im 25.. Computer programmer for a stock loan firm. I a new york transplant living in jersey. I am a bleeding heart liberal. I love the yanks (but not a mets hater..just a sox hater)... I make quilts and do cross stitch... I love martial arts.. Im actually a nice person even though Im very opinionated. Often Ill make a long researched post to back up my points, while Ill also make posts that are just full of opinions.

I love music, all kinds.... I sing... Ill have to upload an MP3 sometime and get you all to critique me:)...

Oh yeah...and Im working on paying down my debt so I can quit my job as a programmer and become a highschool math teacher :)
SteveBsjb • May 4, 2006 1:11 pm
Nice story, Munchkin, and you're not too far away from where I am. Quilts and martial arts, huh? Quite the mixture. I'm guessing you're... 5'3"?

You must be like wolf pack, not six-pack.

"Margaret" is never nice to anyone. I thought I told you that.

And, dude, my shit is harmless. Ask anyone.
KinkyVixen • May 4, 2006 2:35 pm
Aight well, my turn I suppose. I'm pretty new here...maybe a week or two, definitely not more than that. I've been having an interesiting/good time here in the cellar...thanks everyone for welcoming me so readily into the community. Ok, I'm done being a sentimental dork...

Really though, my name, my real name is Kendra. I'm 26...single, no kids. I live in Kansas...and yes, I love and claim the Chiefs! I'm a football freak! But have grown to enjoy most sports in general.
I'm a personal banker and still working my way through college. I hope to be a clinical psychologist for children one day (they have always had a special place in my heart)...if I ever get that far. Most of the time I am either at work or school...but with my spare time, I usually enjoy being with friends. That's pretty much what my life is about, being with friends/family and having a good time.
During the winter I enjoy a lot of movies, company, snow skiing, and partying. During the summer you will more than likely find me very near a body of water at any given point if I'm not at work or partying. I water ski, wakeboard, tube, jump off cliffs, parasail, snorkle, swim, etc. Pretty much anything in or dealing with water works for me. If I have time to read anything other than text books, I read (was reading the "In Death" series by Nora Roberts writing as JD Robb and have recently been getting back into that) and I listen to all kinds of music...from Christian music to heavy metal.
I guess that's pretty much the basics about myself...nice to "meet" everyone.
SteveBsjb • May 4, 2006 2:37 pm
Well, Margaret has a very friendly home-page. I think everyone should visit.

Anyway... your shit isn't harmless... it's loaded with spikes and nails and shards of glass!

Nice to meet you too, Kendra. You seem very active! Wow! the only think I can relate to is the KC Chiefs part. I got into them back when Joe Montana joined the team and brought the Chiefs to the playoffs. Joe Cool was the man. I am actually a Buffalo Bills fan, but they have SUCKED for quite a few years now.

Anyway, welcome to the board, I look forward to talking football with you in the future here!

Well, that's your opinion of course; I think I have plenty of reason. Of course in your view all faults reside in others.

To me you just seem like the child who whines when Mommy enters the room "I wasn't doing nothing! And she hit me! She's *mean*!"

Get over it; you're not born with an entitlement to "nice".
SteveBsjb • May 4, 2006 3:20 pm
You get over it.. whatever "it" is. That includes whatever "reasons" you think you have. It's a new day. Let's kiss and make up. C'mon... you know you want to.

Sounds like a plan then man! I guess that's what being a fan, a hardcore fan at that means....staying with your team and loving them, even when things get rough and tough and not so pretty. I don't know very much about the Bills though. Does that mean I'm gonna have to brush up on my football knowledge so that we can talk football?
And, thanks for the welcome!

Nah, I'm not a stats junkie or anything like that when it comes to football season. I'm more of a "love to be at the bar on Sundays with all my friends drinking beer on Sunday" type of fan. Of course, unless the Bills are doing well, then I make a big deal out of it. :D

Pangloss62 • May 5, 2006 3:32 pm
Thanks for the welcome. I'n not skeerd of no bullies.

I'm a 43-year old historian for the National Park Service. I work at the NPS regional office here in Hotlanta. Divorced, childless freethinker with a penchant for discussion. I drink neither Jager (yech) nor Red Bull and am a Red Sox fan, so we differ there, but any guy who just says "hello" can't be all that bad (even though you guys took Pedro from us). I'm into the high-gravity beer lately.
SteveBsjb • May 5, 2006 3:36 pm
Of course I like the Red Sox too. Probably my favorite American League Team. Pedro is kicking some butt for us this year. Should have been 6-0 if it wasn't for Billy Wagner the other night.

I LOVE being single! When I think back to all the times I was part of "couple," I have to admit that I often would think about how much I wanted to be single. Sex is good, companionship is nicel, no doubt, but there is more to life than that. Whatever happens happens. I'm content with friends, things to do, my job (I'm lucky in that regard). Hey limey! If you're not happy with yourself (as a single), you'll never be happy as part of a couple. I'll admit, however, that "The grass is always greener on the other side." I too wonder if things would be "better" if I were part of a couple; but I see so many couples that look soooooooo bored with each other. They begin to see arguments and petty shit as positive attributes of their relationship. You're better off single (untill you explode!!).

Interested in just about everything, but particularly old English cars.

Hello and thank you for the warm reception!

I found the cellar by Googling for an odd picture of (I can't remember, but sure I found something even more odd here then got stuck in cyber time) and lurked for a few months. The good humor and tat-a-tat amongst board members left me laughing more than a few times. Seems that it's a very diverse group which makes for interesting reading. I thank you all.

I'm a 40 year old single Mom, seven years engaged to a wonderful man. I left the stress of high management to pursue a career in the fuel industry. Unbeknown to me that means fueling big yellow construction thingys. Currently I'm fueling/operating heavy equipment and gaining knowledge in infrastructure. I'm an artist, I like animals and this is starting to sound like it should end with I like long walks in the rain --do you like Pina Coladas?

I enjoy good humor.....hence the name. Sounded Irish after I wrote it, and well occasionally I belive we all have a leprechaun or two in our midst.

Enjoy the day, thanks again for the reception.

I LOVE being single! When I think back to all the times I was part of "couple," I have to admit that I often would think about how much I wanted to be single. Sex is good, companionship is nicel, no doubt, but there is more to life than that. Whatever happens happens. I'm content with friends, things to do, my job (I'm lucky in that regard). Hey limey! If you're not happy with yourself (as a single), you'll never be happy as part of a couple. I'll admit, however, that "The grass is always greener on the other side." I too wonder if things would be "better" if I were part of a couple; but I see so many couples that look soooooooo bored with each other. They begin to see arguments and petty shit as positive attributes of their relationship. You're better off single (untill you explode!!).



I agree...to an extent. Being single is nice, in a lot of ways. You can do what you want, when you want, and you don't have to run it by anyone else. You can seek out companionship with friends or family when you want it, and when you need it. And, if I was different in my beliefs, I could have sex when I wanted with no strings attached.
I too look at the marriages and relationships all around me and think to myself, "Why woud I ever give up being single to have a marriage like they have. I would have to be crazy!" But then I look at the marriages and I compare myself...and I know that if I ever got in a serious relationship it wouldn't be like theirs for 2 simple reasons. I think the most important one is that I know who I am. I know who and what type of person I am compatible with and I know the type of person I am, and the type of person I can be. I do agree too though, that you have to know how to love yourself, and be happy with yourself before you can expect to love someone else and make them happy.
Secondly, I like to think I'm not exactly typical when it comes to women and the female response about most things...at least, I would say, I'm less typical than most of the women I run across...and the women in the marriages that I compare myself to. And I could be totally wrong about that too. Maybe I have a jacked up sense of reality? I am not saying that I'm perfect or better. You don't even have to know me to know that would be a lie. I guess what I'm saying is that I've learned from my past experiences and the experiences of others around me. I've learned what I will accept and what I expect and for the most part I will stand up for that, as long as I feel that I deserve it. I believe that the road is a two-street, and that it does in fact go both ways.
I would give up the freedom and all of the other "single" stuff, for the butterflies, companionship, conflicts, sex and all of the other things a relationship has to offer, if I had met the right person, and he was available. I've been on both sides of the street and have tested the grass on both sides... as for the sex part, I love sex, but being who I am, and being that I connect sex emotionally, I can't and won't just have sex with anyone just to have sex. It's not good. Sex is one of the most wonderful things in the world when you actually feel for the person you're having sex with.

Pangloss62 • May 8, 2006 3:07 pm
Gosh, compaitbility is such a strange thing for me. I've found myself with very different people but was still able to be compatible; and I mean VERY different people. And it was not as if I made myself conform to them, I just figured I could never change them and them me. So why stay involved? Why call it off? Good questions. I just don't think the "perfect" woman is out there, so when I see a chance to get closer to one I've met, I give it a shot. I think most relationships have a "shelf life," much like a box of Triscuits, or a dozen eggs. It's like a bell curve diagram. They run a cycle. Knowing how and when to "move on" is the tricky part. I've had 8 committed relationships in my 43 years, and the quickest start to finish was 1 year (and that's because she died). The others ranged from 3 to 11 years.

Sex is indeed another aspect that can not be reduced to a mere physical act, at least for me. And there's probably an evolutionary reason for that. I don't know. The last girlfriend I had was from Brazil. We were together for 4 years. It was a LAT relationship (Live Apart Together). I spent lots of money on travel, but we had lots of fun (and yes, nice sex). She said that if I moved to Sao Paulo, she would still like us to have our own places, and that actually seemed reasonable. I could not move down there for financial reasons (school loans, career, etc.), so we became "just friends," which is not a bad thing. Better than angry and/or sad former "lovers." I'm not a big believer in love anyway. That sounds cold, but I'm a determinist and a materialist, so I have to be honest (at least from now on; I did say "Eu amo voce to my Brazilian girlfriend).

Thanks for chiming in, KV.

Guilty as charged. At least when TOS played fast-and-loose with physics, they invented a semi-plausible excuse. Of course, Treknology became an art-form during TNG...to the point where it became tedious:*everything* involved tachyons in some way, and any problem could be solved by varying the phase or frequency of something.
But I grew up reading Heinlein, and have just finished Varley's "Red Thunder" and "Red Lightning", worthy successors they are.

I've got good things to say about Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series, and I've already held forth in another thread about Honor Harrington.

Last night I loaded a Lighwave 3D model of Serenity into Blender...we do have fun at our house. :-)

That may very well be, but I didn't watch it for the techie stuff. I watched it because I was keenly interested in the Dr. Smith/Robot dynamic. I did have questions about Dr. Smith: How did someone so pathologically lazy get to become a doctor? As Dr. Smith was the cause of nearly all of the Robinson Family problems, why didn't they just let his sorry ass get eaten by a space monster? :alien: Is is conceivable that Dr. Smith was addicted to painkillers? (reference his near constant lament, "Oh! The pain! The pain!") Why was cute, spunky young Will Robinson always, always paired up with Dr. Smith? This was a recipe for disaster, yet, they always put those two together. And, who had to bail them out? Yes, the Robot! A most excellent character. He was intelligent, witty, urbane, well-mannered and kind of handsome. I think I had a crush on him. :robot:

PS I wanted to use the OTHER alien face that we have in our smilie repertroie but this one :alien: comes up instead. The OTHER alien is better suited for a monster-type alien. Not that I'm saying all aliens are monsters...

Indeed Thrillhouse, I watched Lance Link and loved his band, the Evolution Revolution; perhaps one of the best bands ever! And Thunderbirds were awesome, if a bit overwrought. Sometimes they would get a little carried away with filming their creations, like having a 3-minute sequence of a hole-boring machine (ok guys, cut to the next scene!). Marionation? Anyway, you gotta love Parker and Stone's homage to the Birds in Team America: World Police (I especially enjoyed the extended barfing scene).
