Hey, I'm missing two of my good buds.
One is JohnnyReb, who's been here every day since he first joined conservativecave; he hasn't been around since September 29, 2012, and I'm worried. Has anyone heard from him, why he's gone?
Damn. He's a really good friend.
And then there's the crusty old curmudgeon, John C Calhoun, who hasn't shown up since February 2, 2009; I suddenly remembered I hadn't seen him for a while.
Anybody know what's up with that?
-
Yes i have noticed that Allosaurus has not been around either. As someone once told me, people will go off and do their own thing for awhile. Sometimes they come back and sometimes they don't.
I think it is important to have at least one personal contact outside of here. If someone does not show up, someone else might know why and fill us in.
Frank, have you tried Emailing them????

Isn't that only like 6 days?

JR is here every day, though. He'd let us know.

He's on and off depending on what's going on with his herd of cows, etc. It's not too unusual for him to be gone for awhile, Sea. He'll be back! :)

Franks a bit of a mother hen, but we love him for it. :-)

Well, no, JohnnyReb is one of my best friends here, a personal hero of mine.
As much as one male can love another male without being perverted, I love JohnnyReb.
He was coming here every single day, bar none, since the first day he signed up.
JohnnyReb's great; a real southern gentleman.
John C Calhoun, I dunno how I missed him for so long.....

Well, considering the pretty soil scientist of a few years ago, and the current femme, I'd say that he's a rooster, wouldn't you? :whistling: :tongue:

John C Calhoun I believe tested the waters and found them a tad cold.

Don't nobody get me wrong here--I like everybody on conservativecave equally.
Everybody here's colorful, interesting, and distinctive; we aren't any faceless lynch mob like the primitives.
I like everybody equally.
That being said, the members here I'd like the most to meet in person have always been JohnnyReb, NHSparky, and thundley4. They're great.

frank, speaking as Sparky's other half, I'm pretty confident in saying the feeling is very mutual.

I don't like to play favorites, because I got no favorites here. I like everybody equally, and if anybody wants to know what I really think about them, I pull no punches.
NHSparky is awesome; a true Renaissance man, a paragon of maturity whose level I could never hope to attain, but strive for anyway. One time, maybe about a year ago, I commented "My God" to something (I forget what; it had nothing to do with NHSparky), after which NHSparky immediately came on and commented in return, "Here."
He had no idea how appropriate that actually was.

No way. Not at all.
We all tend to admire people who have qualities we ourselves don't but wish we did.
You, sir, are one Hell of an impressive person, and I mean that enthusiastically.
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, you might see yourself as "just another blue collar down in rural Illinois, nothing disctinctive," but I strenuously disagree.
You're steady; you're sturdy, you're steadfast.
And your dry wit is awesome. I don't think you have to present your wit; I think it comes out naturally, sometimes without even you realizing it. Damn, you're good. We're approximately the same age; if I had a friend such as you when I was growing up (don't get me wrong; I had good friends in childhood, admirable people), I would've been enriched enormously.
You don't do it here, but I suspect in real life, you'd kick my ass when I deserved it kicked, and there wouldn't be any hard feelings about it.
You're much more than what you imagine yourself to be, thundley.
Sir.

:bigbird:
Oh now, madam.
Perceptions of others are always evolving--as they very well should--but I suspect my perceptions of the most-senior members here (say, those who joined before March 6, 2008; about the first 200 members of conseervativecave) are pretty much accurate.
Members newer than that, I'm still getting used to.
You know I love you with passion and ardor, but I'm not used to you yet.
Give it time.

:bigbird:
Gina, I wasn't one of the three, either--but I know that there's others here who rank higher on Frank's scale, and I'm alright with that.
Question--the emoticon that Gina used is called "bigbird." Would a President Romney cut it? :tongue:
-

Well, you know you're there somewhere, sir, pretty high ranking.
I like all members here equally.
It's kind of like being a parent with several children. The parent loves them all equally, one no more no less than the other, but at the same time the parent's more attracted to certain characteristics of one child or another.

The reason one has to be careful about one's perceptions of other members is because sometimes the real person and the internet persona can be two entirely different things.
I'm thinking of John C Calhoun here, who enjoyed a reputation for being a crusty grouchy pissy old curmudgeon; that was his internet persona.
However, I happen to know that in real life, John C Calhoun is of a nature and habits that make even Santa Claus look like Ebenezer Scrooge; a great guy, a friend to all, as generous with his heart as he is with his pocket-book.

Oh man, I just missed the cutoff -- joined March 24, 2008 . . . :(
-
Ahem. :therock:
Well, you know that I sort of know you in real life, too, madam.
And so there's a problem.
As with delilahmused--same thing--I love you with a passon a little bit more than just platonic, and so that biases my perception. But on those already listed, whom I know only from conservativecave, I believe my preceptions are accurate, right on the money.

It's all good, frank. I know quite a bit more about your life because of your great stories than you do about mine so that's certainly fair :)
-
I can say that Franks perseptions are often more accurate then most DUmmies facts
-
Scoobs!!!!!
Missed you! :blowkiss:
DEB!! :blowkiss: back atcha!!
Missed ya' too! Been wicked crazy busy...what with trying to keep My God happy and all. ::) (frank, that made me LOL... :lmao: )
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Just going away to hide my red face now. :ashamed:

There's a certain, uh, problem with that, though.
While in those short stories, other than the added primitive-elements, I accurately show my life (again, other than the primitive elements), in blunt truth it's only a minuscule part of this everyday life. It's all true, other than the primitivia in it, but it's only a scrap, a fragment.
I dunno what impression I give of myself here, but I suspect some of it is the impression of utter confidence.
And yes, I really am that way, utterly confident.
It's that, or to be afraid of everything and everybody. There's no middle-ground.
But at the same time, all those around me in real life are always nervous, fingernail-biting nervous. Not nervous about me, but nervous for me. "He doesn't have the slightest idea of what's going on, and he's going to innocently get into trouble....."
It goes way back, to the beginning of life.
-
You are completely correct with your assumption, Frank.

You know I love you with passion and ardor, but I'm not used to you yet.

Oh Honey! My hubby is still not used to me and I married him in 1993. It will never happen :p

Liar lips, I want to meet you IRL too.

I don't believe you had anything to do with John C's, ummm... reception.

You'e right, no, I didn't.
People were mean to him over at our old home, and then when conservativecave started up here, they were mean to him too.
I can't see where nobody saw through his internet persona.
That is, nobody but me.
I wish he'd come back, so everybody else could see the kindness, the gentleness, the warmth that I saw; it might be obvious the second time around, I dunno.

Well now, you know that I have to withhold judgement in your case--along with the cases of dutch508, longview, Reality vs DU, Skul, and other members here current and former residents of Nebraska--because I'm too biased.
All I can say is that you're all top-notch, world-class, first-rate people, which is my honest and truthful perception, but again it might, or might not, be biased because of the Nebraska connection.

I love Frank, he is tres awesome!!
Everyone is terrific in their own special way!!!!
Ps I would love to meet Sparky as well and he is only 35 minutes away!!! He made me think, research stuff, I normally wouldn't have. How important it is to understand the government, how it works, and how it affects us. I think he would have been a great political science teacher.

I'm really concerned that no one has heard anything from JohnnyReb.
I went back and read his last several posts and there was nothing to indicate him being gone for any reason, upset with anyone here, or family reasons for being off line.
I hope it's just that he has been busy, not that anything bad has happened.
Isn't there anyone who has contact with him in real life?

I am concerned about JohnnyReb - he is one of my favorite posters, and I hope he is well and just taking a break.

Almost everyone here is a joy to know, and I can't think of a better way to say thank you than by sharing myself with the deserving ones.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ya missed me! I luv U guys 2! There's another thread that 'splains my situation.
He's on and off depending on what's going on with his herd of cows, etc. It's not too unusual for him to be gone for awhile, Sea. He'll be back! :)
I'm retired from them ****in' cows! All I wanna do now is eat 'em!
Frank, I'm honored, but I'm just a run-of-the-mill smartass with too much time on my hands.
I resemble that remark! just ask "Toots"!

We know Coach. hell when I fell off the earth last year, ya chewed my ass 'cause I didn't give ya an email so ya could check up on me. Speakin' of which, I'll PM ya my new one.
Oh Honey! My hubby is still not used to me and I married him in 1993. It will never happen :p
Heh! Me and "Toots" been together since '72! She's still not sure! Same goes for the other way around, heh, heh!
Oh now.
You know the stress, the tension, the drama, the laughs, the times, of Scamdy inevitably drew us together, tightly.
Ahhhh, good times, good times! That's back when we were at the reciprocal of the Underground.
Oh, I forgot! I'm still pissed ya didn't come out to go fishin'! I offered to float ya down the Clark Fork! Lewis and Clark sure liked the trip!
