He's really an ice cream bakery???

zelda_pinwheel · 11-08-2008, 04:49 PM

you saw it here first.

Taylor514ce · 11-08-2008, 05:04 PM

I'm actually really a guitar.

we all know that's just an online pseudonym to preserve your anonymity.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 11-08-2008, 05:06 PM

A guitar that bakes ice cream? Wow. I'm deeply impressed.

pshrynk · 11-08-2008, 05:12 PM

Not sure when the spousal unit mkIII and I will be in Chicago next, but we usually get there three to four times a year. I'll let you know when that is. I have wanted to meet you face to face for a long time. Just to see what that head looks like irl.

Taylor514ce · 11-08-2008, 05:17 PM

The building has guest suites. Let me know when you're coming and you can stay... on second thought, I need to preserve my disorders, they are carefully nurtured. Perhaps some distance is best.

pshrynk · 11-08-2008, 05:38 PM

I'd give you the 50% friends discount...

Wow!! Care to expand about item (1)? Concerned (and just plain curious) friends would love to hear, if you feel like talking. And, what caused you to pick Chicago -- job opportunities here?

We who are more local to Chicago (well, 35 miles west) can help with that too. I have a high energy particle accelerator here, heh heh -- second only to CERN, and *their's* is currently busted.

We'll certainly have to arrange a get-together! Some of the others who mentioned Chicago may only log on during the week (as I more normally do) and may not have seen your note yet. I wonder if any of the "Chicago" types are actually *in* the city, to form more of a social circle for you?

Love the thread tags - "chicago, destitute, meet-up, meetup, spare change".

Patricia · 11-09-2008, 07:41 AM

I hope that you settle in well, Taylor. Chicago sounds a lot more lively than your previous location.

Taylor514ce · 11-09-2008, 09:59 AM

Deb, not much to elaborate upon. I'm rebooting. I have no particular constraints on my calendar, so we can certainly wait a week or so to see what happens.

What an interesting way to put it! And since you've also chosen an android as an avatar, it's doubly appropriate.

I'm online over the weekend mostly because I'm lusting after the latest macbook. I have to keep logging in and drooling over it, until I overcome my conscience and actually buy the thing. Even went to a store yesterday to fondle one.....
