Contacting People

New Orleans, LA, Us

Im terribly sorry to break it to you but all the couples in Lacey or Oly have been tragically rounded up by aliens and transported off this plant to be used as menial labor on the planet Xyxtro

The only means of contacting them is through coded message in a Hot Date.

Best of luck on your quest!

re: last post.

Thanks. That's helpful. Usually my problem is I can remember the online name though ;-)

You can click "Search" button on left side of page. Then at the bottom is "Search by Member Name:". Then you can click on their multi-envelopes.

The mail history is nice, what would be really nice is the ability to search your emails for a particular user. If you're somewhat active in email here an older email can easily be lost in the shuffle. AFAIK, there is no way to do that.

SLS Pro Tip 69: on a profile of you click on the multiple envelope icon at the bottom, it will give you any mail history you may have had with that user.

Note suggestion for Ms Mahem:

Tramp: Atlanta's most eligible Hoe-Beau

I think Sorillo and Fokker nailed it. It shouldn't be any different than vanilla etiquette and, put yourself in someone else's shoes.

Do you get excited when you log in and see that little bird flapping? If yes, good chance that others do too.

Aside from "friending", another feature I use is that you can add your own notes to the profile of someone you like. For example, you can add first names if you exchange them, or that you sent an email on a certain date. The latter can keep you from looking like a stalker by sending an email to someone you already had earlier. They are just tools to help you manage things.

Again, I try to put myself in someone else's shoes and am flattered if someone took the effort to try to remember our names or refer to things they like in our profile, meaning they took the time to read it and are interested.

Aww, Privateice,

Cut yourself some slack. Most of the guys in the Sr. league have been playing off each other for at least a week or two longer than you.

I'm only familiar with my whiteadder. Sorry.

Wasn't just Airplane! references, BT. Some of us high-falutin' edjumacated cultured types threw in a Blackadder reference.

Looks like I'm the village id10t now.

So be it.

Hey now. Don't be hatin' on the Puppet. Unless he's been naughty.

Show me on Sorillo where the bad puppet touched you.

Pssst. Allen. Yes. You.

I'm trying to get admitted on my qualifications, not my looks. I will, after all, always be an idiot. ;-)

GGMM would definitely win hottest village idiot of the year.

Thank you Fokkers. I'm dyslexic, so I'm used to reading word salad, but even I couldn't figure out where you were headed there. ;-)

This is what happens when you confine the village idiot positions to men. If you decide to consider women, I have all the qualifications necessary.

Thanks to autocorrect, I deleted my previous message and I am reposting it.

I don’t think anyone was being rude. And I agree with BT. Just be lucky that the Puppet didn’t comment, then things would just have gotten weird or adventurous.

Privateice,

My idiot comment...if you go back and actually read the progression of this thread, was directed at my friend, Sorillo. Now, if you DO go back and read from the beginning, you'll see that both he and I answered the OP's question respectfully. I think the OP even posted Thank You's.

The tomfoolery that followed, most of which was a play off of the dialogue in the movie, Airplane (1980, Leslie Nielson, RIP), was in no way directed at the OP.

Not everyone gets or likes the humor that's tossed around here. I happen to get and like the humor tossed around by Sorillo, Fokker, and (bless his heart, and that of his sexy wife) Tramp.

That said, I understand how these things can get misinterpreted. In fact, sometimes, when I go back and read what I posted, I don't even understand it, and I'm really not much of a drinker. So, it's a kinda scary thing.

Welcome to the forums,

BT

The friend function is just to keep track of profiles you want to be able to get back to easily. It's a bookmark. They don't know about it. It's not like Friending on Facebook where it's both-directions. It's one direction only. You to them.

When you want to contact someone, contact them. Sadly, chances are, they won't respond. Like the people who are responding here that you are idiots for asking a newbie question in "Getting Started," people on SLS are colossally rude--way to go guys! If they aren't interested, they won't respond, "No thank you, not interested," they simply won't respond. Be better, make a point of responding to people you aren't interested in "Thank you for your interest. It is not returned. Best of luck." You will be shocked how many people are thankful that you have been polite to them. You make a lot of friends by treating others with courtesy.

No, as of yet, I haven't had the pleasure, but I DO speak jive.

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison, BT? I’m told it’s no Turkish Delight.

I shaved my ex's weasel once...it popped.

You had me at "crisco"...

Fresno, CA, Us

I dunno. I'm thinking that there should be some sort of initiation rite for entry into the Idiot Village. Something hilariously degrading, involving Crisco, propeller beanies and a shaved weasel. ;)
