I'm only here because DaBomb posted a link and I can't tell you how happy I am that I'm not on staff anymore so that I'm not beholden to their rules and can step back and say: My GOD what a lot of whiny worms you all continue to be! If you are so damaged by what the org is doing to "your" community,...

My comment on this is to start small with something she needs and grow it from there as she expresses needs. Laptops can be equiped with lockdown cables for a small amount of money. If she is going to be in a facility rather than her home for some time, then perhaps that would make sense. It may be...

before I start collecting $$ for a laptop, I want to check in with a friend who used to live there and speaks German. She may be able to arrange the sale/delivery from an Austrian retail website Unless any of you guys speak German and could handle the actual transaction? Or know someone in Austria t...

Hey everyone. I'm sorry to return here for such a sad reason. I got all my ranting out on my Tribe blog, so I'll just say that My heart is with her and I'm ready to help. I'll see what it takes to set up my PayPal for the Fishy Fund. I have to go into an afternoon's worth of meetings, will be home a...

Me too:

Wow, everybody, thanks for sharing your stories, too. A couple more things... I was down to 3-5 cigarettes a day, max...and would go for days at a time without smoking. I'm beginning to think there is no such thing as moderation...the damage can still creep up on you. I started smoking at 14, and I ...

Hey everybody- I know I haven't been involved with the Project for some time, but have been lurking on the Eplaya to passively keep in touch. Now I need to actively do so. You may or may not now that I've been really sick for the past several weeks. What started out as a cold became a bronchitis whi...

>He is Ranger Rigged and he wanted to add that "he wanted to thank Bounce on behalf of "all" of the people he helped who didn't get a chance to thank him." Emerald, please tell him that this was greatly appreciated. All the speakers brought a different aspect of Scott's person, but when Rigged thank...

This is xposted from elsewhere. I wanted to share my experience of the service with those of you who wanted to, but couldn't be there. Many thanks to Koosh, for allowing me to keep her company during the ceremony. And to the piper - you were wonderful. There is nothing so mournful as bagpipes. I bel...

I'll be attending, driving from the Inner Mission. The first three folks to pm me will have seats in my car reserved for them.

Fishy, my heart goes out to you.

sneaks in, steals the chai, sets a bottle of Prosecco and 24 pyramid-shaped chocolate truffles on the counter, sneaks out in a whirl of gold cape, leaving a single footprint that reads in hieroglyphics:

"technopatra loves you from the invisible edge"

oh excpet that I'll be playing around with this buddy system thing...does it do any good?

Ooooh, Ooohh! I see Techno out there. If she comes into the bar, I'm picking up her tab! Anything she wants! <smooooooch!> Miss ya, Nicole! Hiya Fishy! Smooches right back atcha. I'll take a Technopatra Toddy: 1 tsp maple sugar 1 big squeeze from a lemon (mix until sugar is dissolved) 1 shot Jim Be...

Lord love a duck. I just dropped in to say hello and I get to pages upon pages of poisonous circle jerking. What on earth is going on in your real lives that you need to avoid so desperately that you would spend so much time and energy repeating yourselves like this? I repeat for emphasis: What on e...

Aw geez, you guys are making me cry over here... so here's the thing... I'd been doing the same thing for 3 years on the playa. Going for 3 weeks, doing Cafe setup (furniture, decor & art, not DPW), and cleanup. I've camped in the Cafe Village the whole time, which admittedly, has evolved beautifull...

I'll be back, but I have a stupid wicked schedule until my company meets a launch in Mid April. I'm hoping the 60 hr weeks will stop long before then, tho.

Mwah.

Bye for now.

Please feel free to PM me for a real email address if you wanna keep in touch in the meantime.

aww..you guys are the best. It's hard, but it's time. I wanted to stop in here before signing off for a little while. You guys really make the Eplaya. Ina little bit I'll have more time and can come back and hang out like a real person. Kisses and hugs and some mildly inappropriate touching all arou...

Hello my fellow Eplayans- The time has come for me to change out of my Eplaya Admin uniform and once again don my civvies. I'm now working full-time and just don't have the cycles to commit to working on the Eplaya anymore. The lovely Ms. Sparkle will still be here, the rest of the Eplaya Admin team...

Yeah but good breath and bad manners will get you nowhere good.

Could someone put up the rideshare board NOW so people can make plans? A lot of us are coming from far away and need to be able to coordinte dates/times and get the time off work, etc., NOW.

<breathes an enormous sigh of relief>

Thank you DVD, I'm glad things are ok. We'll consider the complaint withdrawn.

I leave you guys alone for a week or so and look what happens. OK... This is the Case studies thread, not an arena for the nasty bitchfest that is the Badger/Isotopia/DVD show. Emily has politely asked you to stop all extraneous commentary. Now I am telling you. Everyone take a breather, and stay aw...

samtzu, baby, just stopped in for a quick shot of whatever's handy and to let you know your email is bouncing. My admin inbox is rapidly filling. If you need to change your email for this system, just let me know.

So many opportunites for correction, so little time: ' Yanking aside and shaking down someone who is advising their family about their rights during an illegal search is a contender for such labeling. So is the act of citing someone for having rolling papers and nothing else. Simple harassment. Nice...

CORRECTION: that's 9PM - to 12AM PST.

Sorry about that.

Hello ePlayans: We have some maintenance scheduled that will require us taking down the entire Burning Man website and all of the subdomains, including the eplaya, for a couple of hours tomorrow. The maintenance is scheduled for 9-11am PST, but please understand how these things can stretch out even...
