OK to email a mefite?
You seem friendly but not pushy, just keep that tone in the email/memail and I think there is no problem. Worst she can do is not reply or ask you to leave her alone.

Ok, I will definitely be there. I am totally unfamiliar with Calgary (and a little intimidated), so are there any special instructions on how to get to the place?

LOLMORMONS
No one is saying that you all need to be appropriately mournful, bemoaning the loss of this 97 year old prophet's life. Just like other obit threads, though, if you don't have something nice to say, feel free to criticize civilly. If you can't do either of those things, stay out of the thread.

Boooooooooobs.
I know I'm late to the thread, I just want to express my sadness the hmsbeagle and occhiblu have left. I understand why, people like me have let people like them fight our fights for too long. I favourite comments to let the commenter know I'm on their side, but it's nothing against actually being the one to take the hits. I'm sorry for hiding behind you, and I hope you come back. I don't know if I will get the guts to stand up for myself and I am worried that without strong, eloquent,... [more]

On the unbearable anonymous of being
I'm semi anonymous. I've never used my real name as my handle, but I've also never gone out of my way to hide my name. I'm sure that any of you could figure out my first and last name (at least, my maiden name) through some judicious googling.
What I like about having nicknames is that I can change them on occasion, if I need to. For example, when I was a teenager, I was an adherent to a religious faith that would cause me much embarrassment if anyone I know now... [more]

If, hypothetically, someone were to have spent a couple of hours reformatting, sorting, and counting these lists (not quite finished yet), what would be the best way to make this file accessible to MeFites?

Would it be possible to put it on the wiki?
That sounds like a good idea. I'm not very comfortable with wiki editing, though, and I would have no idea where to put this. I've reformatted all the artist and song name and am in the process of finding all the albums. It's a list of about 275 items.

Would it be possible to put it on the wiki?
At this point, it's an excel file - three cells wide and 173 cells long. Included are all the tracks on all MeFi Swaps, including album name, alphabetized by artist.

Oops, 274 cells long, not 173.

My partner's first name is really unique (she is the only person on THE WHOLE INTERNET with it) but also very easy to spell and say. She has so much trouble getting people to spell and say it correctly.

I've always pronounced XQUZYPHYR as "Ex-cue-you... oh, fuck it." I'm happy to have some pronunciation possibilities now.

But if it's any consolation I have an image of a hot Eskimo woman sheathed in ice crystals, and wearing a bikini fashioned out of the fur of a woolly mammoth.
Amirite?
Only when I'm on Metafilter. I dress down a bit for work.

I'd be into this. We might want to keep in mind that people out of the US/Canada might have to wait 2-4 months for their packages to arrive from those countries, though.

My expert (lesbian) opinion:

That is all, no one else even rates.
However, my partner disagrees. She would say

"Before You AskMe-- SearchMe!"
I don't think the problem is that people don't use the search, I think it's that people do use the search, but decide that none of the previous questions apply to them.

Wilful tag abuse
Good good. A friend of mine liberally uses the word "rape" (sober!) in contexts like "Man, that prof raped us on that exam," and doesn't understand what the problem is.
Nice of the OP to apologize. We're a good bunch, generally.

So, did you survive eating the sandwich?
It's been a year since my miscarriage. What it took for me to start dealing with it was to make new plans for the future that didn't involve a baby. We couldn't try again right away, as we ended up having trouble with our sperm donor and have not been able to find another one, so I decided to go back to school at get my Master's degree. We'll save up to go through a sperm bank, and we'll start trying again when I'm six months away from finishing my Master's.

Ten days on #mefi
I just went into the IRC channel (this being my very first time on IRC) and was surprised. It's like there is this secret underbelly to the internet, and anyone can get in, but nothing makes sense unless you are an initiate.
Which I, most certainly, am not.

hat convinced me. No transporters. The only way around it would be for me to somehow be able to control the clone, which wouldn't be possible unless a) there is such thing as a soul (or something like it that conveys the me-ness of me) and b) the transporter could also transport that. I would have to be able to take control of the clone in order for it to be me. I really think that the mind is the product of the brain, though, so it would take some convincing to assure me that my control... [more]
