What ???!

He's one of the nice guys, I can't really imagine him doing anything horrible enough to get suspended ...

That's actually a pretty good idea ... I just hope he'll come back to us after his suspension.

So you really like the Rooibos Crème Caramel huh ? I'm having a cup of Rooibos Orange Lemon Lime steeping while I get ready to do the dishes. It'll be exactly the right drinking temperature when I'm done

Re: astra

I just got this from our friend:

I am going to miss you guys

Please pass my regards to What is in your cup Society

Thanks for getting in touch

I am not going to divulge the reason he was banned. But I feel much more relaxed about it.

Is he not coming back?

You are absolutely right, and rightly so, Ivy.

I wss thinking of other forms of punishment than banning. Like, if you post something offensive in the P&R forum, like calling twit a twit, than they might suspend the subscription to the P&R forum only.

I did not get that impression from his mail. He sounded his usual himself. Just lovable.

Now that sounds good too. It's a sneaky trick to turn me into a tea drinker

Certainly hope he will be back. How long is a suspension for?

My imagination is running wild.

Stretching?
Self motivation?
Put on special gear?
Re read instructions of sink?
Evacuate the surrounding area?
Dishes is the name of your neighbor?

Funny, but in my house, there is prep before dish washing.

--Make sure roommate is not taking a shower before turning on water
--Turn on water and wait for it to get hot. Still waiting... waiting... okay.
--Fill up right side of sink with hot water and dish soap.
--Dump all dirty dishes into aforementioned soapy water.
--Go take a nap.

Usually, by the time I get back to kitchen to actually DO the dishes, my roommate has already gotten them done. It works out very nicely.

Edited to add: In my cup - Coke Classic over quickly melting ice.

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

I didn't sleep well last night... Felt 'uncomfortable.' Didn't know why. Now I do. Astra was one of the least offensive members of this forum, yet someone felt the need to remove him completely. If the problems arose in the P&R forum, it should certainly be easy enough to simply block him from that location. If there was a thread that encouraged problems (i.e. several people getting warnings in the same thread,) the entire thread should have been closed. If a car driver gets multiple speeding violations, they take away his driving license. They don't cut off his arms and legs and blind him.

Let's all keep our fingers crossed that the incident doesn't sour him completely, and that he rejoins our group when he can.

Water in my cup - I have a headache and a half!

ProfCrash · 06-08-2011, 09:45 PM

Water. I just finished two hours of tennis lessons in 95 degree heat. One of my classmates showed up in pants and with no water. He was lucky I brought an extra jug.

Probably milk with my Pesto pizza

maianhvk · 06-08-2011, 11:41 PM

I have the impression that he's not getting back. Hopefully it's wrong.

okay I'm off now, final test some hours later.

(and water is what I'm drinking)

Even more funny. With the happy ending.
I wonder how Roommate does the dishes her/him/itself.
