Speaking of Don...

Paul in Cannon Beach · February 2003

I have my own thread dedicated to me and I just thought it fair that Don D have one too.

Paul

Parabeagle · February 2003

Should we try to light a fire on it like you have on yours, Paul? Don't know Don well, but I think I could probably think of a few things to say. ;-)

Paul in Cannon Beach · February 2003

Don D keeps things interesting around here. He knows his stuff too. I like to tweak him from time to time and he likes to drop the hurt on me too but deep down I know he likes me.

The word mercurial comes to mind. Some say curmudgeonly. He is many things but never boring.

Paul

p.s. I am just curious to see how long it takes before his heiney notices this thread.

Parabeagle · February 2003

Well, you know what they say, Paul. The older you get the less observant you are. May take him a good two or three weeks to uncover this string. And I believe he's 37 about as much as I believe the sun rises in the west (can't believe he actually expects me to believe that).

Paul in Cannon Beach · February 2003

No.. he's out there and he will find this thread. Its only a matter of time. Then again, he may lurk for awhile and not post. Just to keep us on the edge of our seats.

Or he might post using one of his alter-egos (ritaanz, Margaret Morford).

Only time will tell. No burning symbol yet...

Paul

ritaanz · February 2003

I see you guys like living dangerously. Didn't your mother teach you to respect your elders? AND..... I am not his alter ego. As I said before, he is my evil twin. x:-)

POPEYE · February 2003

I am one of the "GUESTS" that Don has blasted over the last few months. We are
an Employment Law Letter subscriber but had just not taken the leap to register
on the Forum. Don't really know how old Don is, but what is really scary is that I have found myself leading cheers for most of his replies. GO DON!!!!

bsa · February 2003

I'll do my part to get closer to the fire. I really count on the forum for continued education and DonD is one of the tenured professors!

Paul in Cannon Beach · February 2003

Yeah he is a good guy. I think he should start a bed and breakfast just because it would be fun to hang out with him and hear stories.

Paul

sonny · February 2003

He could serve fried turkey and offer motorcycle rides as part of the package. I think it would be a hit..

Leslie · February 2003

I think he is deliberately ignoring us!

Riley · February 2003

And decorate the yard with his bottle trees...

Don D · February 2003

Aha!......In my old age, I have managed to stumble around long enough to discover this thread. For those of you who were kind in your remarks, you will get one free pass to spend a weekend at my place including a motorcycle ride, fried turkey feast and unrestricted viewing of the bottle trees. For the rest of you.......payback is hell. And for those of you who didn't post but thought bad things.......I have your names too. x:-) (beagle pair: read up on use of emoticons. Even legal scholars can do it with enough practice.)

Parabeagle · February 2003

Ouch! I'm hit!

Don, I would have said nice things but I figured all this unabashed praise would go to your head (not to mention the fact that I haven't seen this much sugary syrup since the last time I had pancakes).

I will read up on the emoticons and try to do better next time.

Gillian · February 2003

Yep, keep him around. Who, if not for him, would I spar with occasionally.

Paul in Cannon Beach · February 2003

Gillian,

Are you saying the rest of us are not up to your mental stature? I resemble that remark!

Paul

Gillian · February 2003

Nope

Paul in Cannon Beach · February 2003

I wish Don would post a photo of himself in the Green Lantern costume that he mentioned in a previous post. Its an image that is seared into my mind.

Paul

Don D · February 2003

gimme a break Paul! I've complimented you twice this week already. Sheeeesh.

Rockie · February 2003

Some people just never get enough adulation!!!

ritaanz · February 2003

Dear Paul: I think this is a case where it should be left to ones imagination.

Don D · February 2003

I thought someone said earlier that Ritaanz is always off on Fridays. Who let her in the back door?

Paul in Cannon Beach · February 2003

Well I figured I needed to rib you a little Don after dedicating a whole thread to you just so that you don't think I have gotten soft.

Hey its Friday and I hope you all have a great weekend. I will be gone all of next week and will miss you terribly!

Paul

Don D · February 2003

Just so you will know, the reason I posted the 'Speaking of Paul' alert was because you had been sorely missed for about a week. Thanks for letting us know you will be out next week. I won't put out an alert. Hope the interviews go well.

sandra_d · February 2003

I laugh out loud when reading many of Don's posts ... thanks for adding a touch of humor to my days, Don!

Paul in Cannon Beach · February 2003

I got to admit it was nice to be missed. I have a small dry erase board on my office door and its always fun to see what people write on it.

More often than not I come to work to find a note of encouragement. I hate to erase these little acts of kindness.

Thanks Don!

Paul

MsLady · March 2003

well geez, sorry this is a little late! Don has helped me directly and indirectly. He can even look over my spelling skills. Someone who can do that with grace deserves to get a nice slap on the back! (I mean that in the nicest way!)

Thank you for all of your help Don D.!

Eroj · March 2003

All I believe is that Don's momma sure raised him right.

Trinity · March 2003

You're great Don. Even before I joined this forum, I always read the threads looking to see what your words of wisdom would be. Have to respect a man who tells it like it is..

Parabeagle · March 2003

I think I'm actually going to need some insulin here in a moment these posts are so sickeningly sweet. x;-)

Don, you must be broke from paying all these people to say such nice things about you! What's your secret? Besides deep fried turkey, that is?:DD

Trinity · March 2003

Well, you know Parabeagle, I WOULD say something nice about you..but you insulted my man Harry Ford and I am still getting over that..oh well..
you make me laugh and you have good advice when you're not knocking gorgeous leading men..

Speaking of Don...
