The PigPen's Resplendent Kaffeeklatsch

[wasellajam]

lol - yah, I was just thinking the other day (and by the other day I mean probably around 2017) when someone responded to you and was like "thanks Marcella" and I was like - WTF??

How do they get the secret name?

Probably after many heartfelt PM exchanges. I was reading today and Leanne used it on a thread, I was surprised but she knew nothing about ducking and dodging, always fully out there.

I haven't yet sent a heartfelt PM because I was terrified that either someone was playing a terrible joke on me or I was having a dream I didn't wanna wake from. Waiting to exhale. 

 I know, the internet can be so personal and so full of land mines it gets us all jumpy. I once was asked by a close extremely antisocial friend to reach out on a local forum for him. I almost got strung up at dawn for presenting myself as someone who knew him. Took a while to convince them he was alive and to convince him to communicate directly. It all ended up happily and was worth it, but people sure got riled up about it. 
Time has passed and and without the old PMs I’m slow to remember who’s who and who I knew, it’s coming back as I read, So hi again
