It took us a little working out but hopefully you are with us now. Welcome to our forums.

sue you are wonderful!
consider that last exclamation mark to be multiplied ad infinitum.
you have surely gone enormously above what one might expect and i am deeply appreciative.

Wow, this sounds like quite a story! Welcome to the Forums drbobwill!

You are more than welcome DrBob, glad to be able to help.

Welcome, you will soon find that Sue is always willing to go that extra step to help out.

Welcome, DrBob.

Welcome indeed, Dr Bob, you must be special indeed for the old bat to have got you here. Seriously, she's ok really! Welcome.

ren33 hi
i laughed and laughed when i read your post; it was really quite amusing.
i can laugh about it all now that it finally happened.
i have been a member of funtrivia since 2003 but i have not been able to get on the boards for some time.
that i can is due to elskede who was concerned enough about me to suggest asking sue for help and by golly help is exactly what she did (even going to the most extraordinary lengths to enable me to get here. brava sue!
exactly how i got here must remain a top secret (just kidding, i think)

hi alien goddess (i used to go to berkeley high and later to uc berkeley walking through the eucalyptus grove to get to my classes, still later went a year to uc hastings college of law in sf, how about you?
hi skunkee,
hi tabbytom, with your interests (congruent with mine, i only wish that i could have gotten you to join classicalmusic/mensan/etc. i well recall how in the last game you zoomed by me and zoomed by most of those ahead of me as well. i admire your knowledge
hi to all others, past present and future and to you each and all much

Lets all guess how Dr Bob got in here. Prize for the most imaginative, chaps!
I think he got his mates to drag a vaulting horse into Quizzyland and then tunnelled his way in hiding under it. Sue was the one who dragged away all the spare earth and rubble in her underwear (it is large enough, lol!)
(edited to say the prize is a date with Sue/ second prize : two dates with Sue Hahaha!!!)

Dr Bob don't worry about her, she is suffering from jetlag having just travelled back from England to Hong Kong - the snow has affected her.

Hi DrBob, glad you could make it!

I can't get that muppets voice out of my head "calling Doctor Bob! Calling Doctor Bob!"

Greetings, DrBob.

hi again alien goddess
come to think of it, i went to humboldt state extension for 6 semester hours at miranda, had been teaching at garberville elem. sch. 5th grade and a special class in science for gifted 6th graders this was back in the 70s. one of my students in the gifted program had a father (M.D.) who had a great pyrennes (can never remember how to spell that)dog. i fell instantly in love with the dog and resolved when i had a home of own to have one of my own and later on i did or rather he (zeus a good name for this noble dog) had me.

hi copago and kstew. that ren is quite a jokester!
kstew were you the one who is commercial painter or did i make that up. my wife (divorced and unfortunately now deceased) had two bachelors in art and one masters of fine arts (in painting). the year before she died, her work was showcased in the brochure for the olympia wa "art walk."
i have one of my players (attalus) who does really interesting art work. he has a web site. his is one interesting family. he is also a laid back super excellent player.

Yes, that would be me, DrBob. Former greeting card artist and illustrator, now busy rendering murals in upscale neighbourhoods. Not glamorous, but an honest living [ if you'd like to call it that]

Welcome to the forums !

Welcome DrBob. your 'peacelovejoy' signatures are very well known elsewhere in funtrivia, and I'm sure you'll be an active and interesting contributor to the forums.

Welcome Dr Bob, I'm a few days late but glad you've made it in here after what was clearly a tough route!
