How convenient, Bonnie, I just baked a batch. Ed, would you accept a cyber-cookie? As for my little idiocy above, I actually ripped the whole thing off from another 'Catter, that how the millennium is such a big deal with everyone, and if you remove one letter (intentionally or no) it becomes something slightly amusing...there was no intention of insulting anyones spelling in any way...I'm sorry if it sounded like a personal stab...If you'll be on Mudcat on New Year's Eve, I'll be here, if you can bear to forgive me...

Mbo, there are many times I say somethings not realizing I have made someone feel hurt. It is an awful feeling to think I have done something wrong.
I try to remind myself that my intentions were not meant to harm. Then I usually bake that person a big batch of chocolate chip cookies and hope that they still love me.

Kendall,

Will you be going south from W-B on 81 or the PA tpke? I live pretty near the tpke, Norristown or King of Prussia exits. It's easy to connect from there to 95.

Mbo,

I was glad to see your apology. People who have trouble spelling are very self-conscious about it. Usually, as long as we can understand what someone is trying to say, why don't we just agree to ignore such errors? I'm sure we all have something we're less than perfect about.

Ed, I'm so sorry if I came off as a total jerk--I didn't mean to insult you, I guess I got too carried away...folks that know me would know I was just being a goof...Do you want to talk about music? Anything? I don't want you to be alone...no one should be alone...Am I forgiven?

--Mbo (still kicking 'imself)BTW welcome to Mudcat...

Mbo - I'm aware that I spelt millennium incorrectly. I'm glad that I won't be spending any time with you, ever....

I don't know whether I will be alone or not and don't really care but I am wondering with the chat idea, what the net traffic and phone traffic is going to be like.

Every moment begins "a" new millennium. January 1, 2000 certainly begins "a" millenniumm; it also begins "the" millennium of the 2000s. It doesn't begin the 3rd Millennium A.D. which starts on January 1, 2001. There is no contradiction except when people try to identify the millennium of the 2000s with the 3rd millennium A.D. The two overlap in 999 years, but identifying the two exactly is mathematically impossible.

My work will require me be on call on New Years' eve. I hope there will be catters to chat with while I wait around.

T.

Ed ... I rarely spend New Year's Eve with anyone but I never feel "alone." I rather enjoy spending the time looking back and it's very peaceful. I'll be moving into my new abode, but will stay plugged in ... are you on icq? Can't remember my number, but you can find me with "moonchild."

Kendall ... harpgirl and I are 2 1/2 hours from 95 when you get to Jacksonville. You drive due west on I-10. Perhaps we can get together ... moonchild

Ed, who cares about spelling and so what if the real thing is a year away. I'll be home on New Year's and I am sure there will be others. We could set something up on that new HEARME thing, there are a couple of threads on, and then we could sing Auld Lang Syne together. Hey, if you'll stay up, I'm willing!

Whoo-Hoo, Happy New Year!!!

Looks like I'll be going to a drunken bluegrass house par party. again this year, (no date)

Lookie, I'm curious.. if I go to Florida this year, how many mudcatters will I pass on the way? my route would take me on rt 84 across to Wilkes-Barre Pa. down to Washington dc, then 95 to Florida.

Ed, you spelled "millennium" wrong. And as another 'Catter said, the "millen" mean "one thousand" and "ium" without the other N is a word derived from "anus," so "millenium" means...

Ed - since you have over a year, why not find someone to be with?

I'm going to be alone when the clock ticks over and we start a new millenium.

I'm sure that I'm not the only mudcatter in this position.

Why don't us lonely 'catters try and sort out some on-line chat?

I'm in the UK (so we get there earlier) but I'll stay up

Any ideas?
