Someone sent me this link. I offer it so you can see how bullies twist things.

Oddly enough, I was about to let you all know that Sweetie has been told he will not be laid off until December-January and, if a certain contract comes through, will remain employed. We think the person who told him about the layoff and arranged the job interview jumped the gun, because there has been a flurry of communications to him about what a valuable addition to the firm he is and how they will do everything to keep him on. We are not buying. Sweetie had a good interview last week and has another one today.

I am refinancing the house this week. The payment will be $37/month more and we will pay it off six years earlier. If I send even more money, we may be able to pay the thing off 11 years early. I should still be alive, lol!

By the way, I understand that the person who posted the thread linked above (the same person who was here) has either a trust fund or inherited money from family oil and does not have to work.

Sorry, I meant to add, please don't respond. She's talking to herself on that thread, by the way, never mind the different names.

I assume you mean, "don't respond THERE". (Always good advice.)

Yes, a good read. (insert a Git-quality "snort" here...)

Gee, sure wish I had that much free time. Anyone ever wondered if this person has multiple personalities (for real)? Seems pretty "Sybil-esque".

I barely have time to post as myself let alone all the other names I'm accused of using. LOL

Kip, the proof you can't be Hawk is that you haven't hammered about the AA587 crash being y2k-related...

-- Anonymous, November 19, 2001

rb, I think you hit It squarely. multiple personalities.

It complains so much about the treatment It received from Hawk, and yet It was impersonating Hawk.

I have to wonder if It forgot where Hawk stopped and It began.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. some of that is truly hilarious!

Brooks, the only thing I know about modern aviation is you buy a ticket and get on and off a plane. LOL

Well Kip, I suppose I'm one-up on you, cause even I know that on most of these planes anymore, you don't even need to wind up the rubber band! :-)

Brooke, you got to be kidding? When did they replace the rubberbands? LOL

OG, now thats what I call cheap entertainment. I see she is back talking to you even though you show up nowhere in the thread. LOL

Good heavens! This is the one who said we have 90% garbage over here? How very sad to process information through such a distorted prism. I have to pity her but I don't have to put up with her and I don't think I'll visit her disturbed mind any more.

I'm not sure, but the last time I was near an airfield, none of them had one! :-)

I'm not so sure that's really Laura over there.

Brooke, ever heard of stealth rubberbands? LOL

LOL, Kip! Didn't think of that, no. :-)

Laura's rubberband broke in 1999 due to extreme stress over y2k.

Poor thing. Someone should bury it.

Helen, I'm with you on your hunch. I don't think that disturbed person on the referenced thread is the "Laura" who had the trademark rose. That said, I'm still glad that OG passworded this forum, again. A troll is a troll. The writer in me is vaguely interested in the soap opera aspects of a poster gone awry, but as the economic crisis deepens, I find that I have much bigger fish to fry.

Thanks for the password. I had almost forgot about LL...almost.

Helen and Meemur:

I'm afraid that it really is the one and only Laura over there. I know her from old (from January '00). I'm one of the few "doomers", I guess, that she will carry on a conversation with, even though we agree about nothing.

Her cyber-detection as to who is posting what is, to the best of my knowledge, invariably wrong.

(You should know that at one point I was accused of being Lady Logic. How about that! I was having a bit of a disagreement with Anita, and , tongue in cheek, told Anita not to discount my vaunted detective abilities. Since LL has told us that she was a PI earlier in life, that was enough for someone to declare that I had given myself away.)

Thanks for the insight, Peter. I don't know about Helen's reasoning, but I didn't feel that the writing (or lack thereof) in a lot of those posts matched known LL samples. I'll admit that my opinion is based on quick impressions. I really didn't have the time or motivation to do a line-by-line analysis.

In any case, I've been avoiding Unk's open forum, unless I was directed there by an email about something worthwhile. I can live without the name-calling and other assorted garbage.

well, looking at the poorer sections of town makes one appreciate what one has. Or doesn't have, as the case may be.

Someone has brought to my attention this recently bumped thread at Unk's. I remember something about it some time ago but didn't realize that one of the posters had accused me of harrassing Ken Decker at work. A big smooch to Carlos for letting people know I wouldn't do something like that; in fact, "Kathy Carrow" who, apparently, turned out to be our troll, LadyLogic, aka Laura, Harriet Tubman and many other names, was the culprit.

It is important for people to read some of this thread because it illustrates the lengths to which disturbed individuals will go to cause problems for someone they don't like. Truthfully, I don't believe this individual would have stopped at this point if she had information and opportunity to go further.

Much as I dislike Ken Decker, this was an unpardonable action for LL to take. This incident is why we recommend not using a real name and e-mail address here, even though the forum is now passworded. If you wish to have such information changed, please send the URL of the post to jas_donald@yahoo.com and we'll take care of it. Far better safe than sorry!

Old Git, everyone knows that it was LL who did this dastardly deed. I've seen it posted in a couple different places where it was LL who called on Ken. Whether we like Ken or not, it was a nasty thing to do. However, I do believe in karma, her day will co
