Alphabetical Conversation

Kåre เลียม Enga says "High school was a nightmare. That was 55 years ago... I say that to remind myself that I've run faster than most, but I cannot outrun the ghosts. "

JL Richter says "Run baby run! BOO!"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Shucks, Kare, you messed it up I expect better from ya."

JL Richter says "To expect, or not to expect ... is that even a question?"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Upon further consideration, I digress into a discussion of seashells by the seashore 🐚"

JL Richter says "Very pretty pearls found in a shell, given to a girl who made my life hell ... o, gorgeous!"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Whee, only three more letters Have you heard of the XYZ Affair?"

Dad says "X-rays and DNA testing of Messieurs X, Y, and Z's remains proved inconclusive in determining their identities."

Dad says "Ya think this'll get rid of the italics?"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Zooks, I just noticed them this minute {/I}"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Alrighty, let's see..."

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "By golly, I'll get them out for us "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Close italics and trying again... "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "D'oh, I give up. Ask Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 , he's a WML whiz..."

Rowan Oakenscale says "Enlightened to be here, aren't we? I sure am!"

Dad says "For ending the italics, we can wait till the offending line cycles off, or have Pengy delete the offending line. But will Pengy ever show up? Ah, there's the rub!"

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "Gee... well, I can't fix it with this message, but I can in the next."

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "Happy to help. "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "I'm amazed at your skills. Thanks, Charles "

Dad says "Just exactly what did you do? "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Kinda what I wanted to ask as well "

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "{I}Like this{/i}{/i}"

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "Maybe because the italics were posted in another person's message, it doesn't recognize that the single closing bracket is for someone's else ML, which is why you could see Amethyst's {/i} at the end of her message."

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "Now, when you create a new message, add italics yourself, then close it twice, it will recognize that you're still closing your own code. At least, that's what I would assume. I don't actually know what I'm talking about. I tested on a private in&out lol"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Oh, nifty!"

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "Oddly enough, it has something to do with Richter's placing {/} instead of {/i} but it seems to only affect the other messages if it is done in the middle of the message"

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "Proven, for example, here: I'll place the incorrect closing bracket at the end of the message{/}"

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "Quite strangely, this doesn't affect this message now"

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "Realizing that it does in fact alter the message fixing now..."

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "Sorry for spamming"

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "That's all, folks"

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "Uh oh, we have two "O" messages. Do we go to alphabet jail now?"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Very interesting to see playing out "

Rowan Oakenscale says "Well, let's keep going, and try to make a new streak!"

Dad says "Xcited you were able to solve our problem. Or maybe it was a conundrum. Perhaps a dilemma? Quandary? "

Rowan Oakenscale says "Your words are unknown to me. Maybe I should do some more research."

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Zanzibar's official languages are Swahili, Arabic, and English "

Allan Charles 🐾 Sick 🤒 says "And just like that, I came to fix italics and ended up enjoying this page"

Dad says "But it's amazing how things like that cab work out, and Pengy, the founder of our page of fun and games, is nowhere to be seen."

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Certainly, if she ever comes back, she’ll be pleased with how much fun we’re having "

Dad says "Do you think she'll return? *sung, extremely off-key as usual while everyone cringes*. Oh where, oh where has our Pengy gone? Oh where oh where can she be? With her ears cut short and her tail held high, oh where oh where can she be? "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Egads, don’t bring music into the picture, or I’ll be singing all day "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Fearfully, I’ve been considering singing a sample of something and sending it to ruwth or dogpack saving 4premium+ to share with their premium + membership. Do I dare?"

JL Richter says "Forgive me, oh favorite one-liners for my italics mishaps! I'm glad it was resolved!"

JL Richter says "Give it a go! What's the worse that can happen?"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Hello, friend! We now have 2 letter F entries… no matter Good advice… the hard part is choosing which song "

Dad says ""Islands in the Stream" is a good suggestion. So is "Israelites.". "In Search of the Lost Chord" is a really great album."

JL Richter says "Joan Jett is my go-to; even 'Cherry Bomb' from her Runaway days. 'Love Shack' by the B52's is also a fun one"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Kidding, right? I mean, which song that I know and am capable of singing Love Shack sends me running the other way "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Lo and behold, since you mentioned "cherry bomb," now I've got a line in my head from someone else entirely..."

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Music alert: "hey Mr. Cage Man, let me get a fresh breath/ cherry bomb, headstrong, I could fake my own death..." "

Dad says "Nope, not familiar with that one. I'm thinking about John Mellencamp's song "Cherry Bomb.". Knew a woman in college who was the daughter of a former governor of Indiana who knew John Mellencamp's family.."

AbbyAG says ""Oh, wow - She must have had plenty of stories to tell, but if her father were the former Governor of Indiana, that would undoubtedly make sense.""

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Polaroid, by (credits for my previous entry)"

Dad says "Quite likely I've never heard it. On the other hand, I might have heard it and just don't remember."

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Remembering all the things that have to be done at the end of the month be like "

Revi Tond says "So much work, is it?"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "To do lists stretch for miles... And at the beginning of the month, I get the nervous feeling of wanting to get everything done within the first week or else I panic "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Usually, I do get everything done that I wanted/needed to do, in spite of myself "

Dad says "Very often, I begin the month with bright dreams of getting everything in order, carefully completing one task, then going on to the next, conscientiously and scrupulously finishing each of my assignments. I sit quietly waiting for the feeling to pass."

JL Richter says "Whereas I take one day to get everything done that I mean to get done, and then have the whole month to play and do the things I like."

Dad says "Xylophone playing was NOT on my list of things to do this month. And I haven't! Mission accomplished!"

AbbyAG says ""Yikes - It's halfway through the month, and I'm nowhere near done!” "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Zero attempts at accomplishment means zero failure, right?"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "A perfect score, therefore!"

AbbyAG says ""Boom - Nothin' but net! "

Dad says "Could it be that Larry the Bird is playing basketball? What type of bird is Larry the Bird?"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Dodo? Likely not... I had no idea there's a dodo emoji on Gboard 🦤 "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Everyone, feel free to vote in my first poll "Raggedy Ann & Andy MB Question" "

AbbyAG says "Fun poll, Amethyst Angel - I haven't seen these two in years! "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Greatly appreciated! My exclusive MB is being made as we speak. I'll have to throw a party when it's ready "

Dad says "Gonna get right on it. Oh, wait! I already voted! Yay Dad!"

AbbyAG says "Hip, hip, hooray - A party - I'll bring the pasta salad! "

Dad says "I'll bring the hamburgers, hot dogs and brats! You do have a grill, right? Maybe afterwards we can do a road trip! Where should we go?"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Jefferson City, TN is affectionately called Jeff City for short... These days, Jeff always makes me think of our esteemed Senior Moderator "

Dad says "Kokomo would be nice. Then maybe Ketchikan. Kansas City is in the way. Any other suggestions? "

AbbyAG says "Kissimee, perhaps? "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Lynchburg, TN is known for the distillery, which coats the town with black gunk. Trust me, I’ve seen it "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Maybe an article would be useful… https://www.foodandwine.com/whiskey-fungus-tennessee-7182054"

Dad says "Nashville TN would be a nice place to visit. Nashville, IN, is gorgeous, but it's best in the fall, so maybe we should wait until then. New Orleans is an excellent suggestion. Nairobi Kenya, no interest here!"

AbbyAG says "How about Oregon?"

Dad says "OK, AbbyAG, I think it's time for me to point out the rules for this I/O. Reach post is supposed to begin with the next letter of the alphabet. Please see the example at the top of the I/O. For example, your post could have read, "OKo, how 'bour Oregon""

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Precisely. I didn’t want to be the one to say anything, but since you’re the Dad "

Dad says "Quite right, Amethyst Angel! I hope AbbyAG doesn't take offense to my hopefully gentle correction. After all, she's one of the drivers on the road trip to Quincy, IL! Where else shall we go?"

AbbyAG says "Rhode Island, maybe? "

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Sounds good to me, hon! Providence is known as an artsy town. Jewelry used to be designed there "

Dad says "Then, we can go to the Isle of Rhodes. Oo! All of the Greek Isles! And maybe a side trip to the South Sea Islands. I hear the Tahitian babes have the biggest ... uh, coconuts. "

Just a Penguin says "Unfortunately, I'm pretty broke. Can I still join? Please?"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Voila! Our hostess is back Join the fun, it’s all on me… (wait, what )"

JL Richter says "Wichita was nice when I was living there; Washington DC, too. Where would I go now, if I had the choice? Anywhere but here! Even hell would be a vacation from Southern California."

Just a Penguin says "Xanadu! Wait, is that a real place? Excuse me while I ask Google... Aha! It's the archaeoogical site of Kublai Khan's summer capital in Inner Mongolia. Is that a nice place to visit?"

Dad says "Yes, I think Xansdu would be a wonderful place to visit. Although I think it would probably be be better roughly 800 years ago, when Kubla was there. D'ya think he had air conditioning?"

Just a Penguin says "Zoinks! I'm pretty sure there was no air conditioning, but then, I don't have a time machine."

Dad says "A time machine would be helpful, but alas, we don't have one. Therefore, maybe we should plan our road trip for Ann Arbor, Annapolis, Atlanta, Arkadelphia, and Memphis instead."

Just a Penguin says "But, I've been to Memphis. I didn't really find it all that exciting. How about Nashville instead?"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Coincidence… my newly completed "Reflections"  is loosely set in Tennessee."

Just a Penguin says "Do you belief in coincidence? Or are we all part of some cosmic plot?"

Just a Penguin says "((OT: BELIEVE...not belief))"

Amethyst Angel 🌼 says "Everything happens for a reason... I'm big on worldview, from an evangelical upbringing. So yeah, cosmic plot with a happy ending "

Dad says "Follows that if everything happens for a reason, then there must be a reason I started this sentence. Too bad I don't know the reason!"
