I disremember how my email account ended up being the official FRL email account. It's probably Lon Frankenstien's fault.

Anyway, since princesses rule here, I'd like to ask the princesses to get together and do a little housekeeping. Princesses don't keep house as a general rule, so we could call it bookkeeping. Anyway, I tried to email all you princess types and every last one of 'em bounced.

Princesses ... please get together and get a new yahoo account just for FRL. You can give each other the password and dangle it just out of Lon's reach. That would be fun, wouldn't it? Then you ladies could take care of newbies as they fall into the trap ... I mean, as they ask for admission.

I need to be offline for a while. My last semester is a booger. I'll try to contribute when I can, but the only reason I log in much any more is to keep an eye on the yahoo account in case someone wants to be a new snack ... er ... member of FRL.

Would it be possible for Gayla to invite some of Mutter's folk? Could we post the password in Git's private lounge? I'm asking, but I won't do it unless it's ok with you.

Bumping to new answers. This is how you get people to look at your new question, j. Clear as mud?

-- helen (retreads@retried.retained), October 09, 2003.

Yeah, I'm all in favor of new victums. After all, we let in Jsnider, so it aint like our standards are at the top of the social list, ya know. And I think it's high time you Princesses tidied up the joint a little. I mean, just look at this place - spare body parts on the sofa, old snapshots ever'where, haiku that hasn't been dusted in weeks! I'm tellin' ya, if I could find a dive with cheaper brownies, I'd just pack up and leave ('cause I don't need ya!).

-- Lon Frankenstien (evil@the.bayou), October 09, 2003.

Lon Frankenstien, you try to run away and you'll find yourself on the road to a smacked bottom. Be good!

Princesses? Yoo hoo? Princesses!!

-- helen (princess@mistress.even.I.get.confused.now.and.then), October 10, 2003.

Helen, I don't know what you're talking about, but encourage input. Maybe the princesses are mulling it over, or there's something they don't like about the idea and they're too shy to say so...No, that can't be it. ChiefTin says the princesses ain't shy.

Regards Lon--don't worry about it Bee. Nobody else will shares goodies with him at all. Redneck says "At ayers wun main mayun. I thaink him an thuh Kitster been watchin eyuntahrly too much o thayut profeshinnal rasslin on tee-vay, an it ain't good fer there disposishuns, yew no." Maybe he's right.

-- J (jsnider@hal-pc.org), October 10, 2003.

Helen, I'm not sure how you ended up being the email account. I would be a logical choice since my e is real and I have 'most ever'bodies e addy, anyway. ('Cept J because I figured I could just get him through Lon). Princess Gayla is another choice 'cause she's got 'bout as many e addies as I do. Do I have to open a yahoo account to do this? And I don't mind if you post the password, but that's just one vote (since Frankenstein's votes don't count).

And Frankie dear, if you want the haiku dusted off, feel free!!!!! My muse deserted me when I lost my voice and I haven't seen hide nor hair of her since :-(

-- Tricia the Canuck (jayles@telusplanet.net), October 10, 2003.

So Princessess Rule here huh? So I'm not Fearless Leader of the FRL anymore huh? No more being "Leader for Life"? OR "ChiefTin"?

Well, all I can say is Thank You! And Yippee!! It's about time I got out of the job (I remember the years when I actually had to do stuff too)

Ok. Sorry for the interruption. I'll go back to being just a lowly peon FRLian now that I know my new place in the scheme of things.

Oh, One thing---

About the password---No, do not post it anywhere, especially there, since one or more of our threads already mentioned that specific place and actually had a link to there. The current cloaking procedure works. Since it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Geez that sounded leaderly. I'm sorry. I didn't really mean it. I guess I'll have to try harder next time to just fall into line. Youz guyz know whats best, so I'll just stay out of this after all. Do what you think best.

Please ignore this post.

poopie.

-- (sonofdust@lowly.peon), October 11, 2003.

Our Leader has risen from the dust to speak. No password will be posted. He has spoken. (Which is A-ok with me.)

The only reason I suggest a yahoo account is so more than one person can stand watch. I mean, all you other princesses get to go on trips to Disney Universe and Oreeeeegon and ... and ... Coloradooooo ... and I never get to go anywhere!

I thought the yahoo account might also keep any potential trouble from following you home, so to speak. They aren't all like our Frankenstien.

So far we got Our Leader, Princess Canuck, jsnider, and Frankenstien. Does anyone else have an idea?

Oh, and one more thing ...

SteveOH is incoming!

-- helen (princess@sniffling.at.home), October 11, 2003.

Dear Sweet Helen, I can't believe you sent me an e and I didn't get it (although I am frequently known not "to get it" but that's another story!).

And um, I really like housekeeping, but just don't have much time for it these days. Too many peas under the mattress and all that to deal with ya, you know!

I'm not clear on exactly your meaning, are you asking us to take over your moderating duties? This queen is so confused!

Mr Lon, cheaper brownies you say? How much cheaper can ya get?? BTW, just pulled out a pan of chocolate cheesecake brownies, want one??? and unlike Helen, I never smack bottoms, promise! I'd rather talk to ya, and see what's going on inside your head, myself! But then that's my little quirk~

Dear ChiefTin, would we let ya slide on your leadership role in these parts? NO WAY fella! You're still responsible and I'm holdin' ya to it! Thought you'd be let off the hook, didja? Un-uh, ain't gonna happen. Not after all these years!~ And ya just can't poopie out of it~! So THERE!

Sweet, sweet Helen, my friend, I ain't never been to places like Colorado or OrEgon, and the last time I was at Disneyworld was my honeymoon over 21 years ago, and they wouldn't let us on most of the rides cuz of hub's wheelchair, so ya can't be talking to MEEE! But I am planning a January trip to Vancouver, up in that Canadian Country, where dear Tricia resides (although days away!).

And I don't want ya worrying about yer old friends here, while you're slaving away at yer studies, cuz we'll be just fine, if lonely without ya! And I'm still not clear on what it is we can do to help ya, while you're mostly absent. But then you know I'm dense!~

I'll wait patiently Helen, so you can explain it me, ok?

-- Aunt Bee (Aunt__Bee@hotmail.com), October 11, 2003.

Take over. Please take over.

-- helen (somebody@take.over), October 12, 2003.

Huh?

What?

(Sticks head in classroom after long trip out of town..... Looks around.)

Oh - Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllll,,,,,,,, since I ain't a princess ..... Guess I'm inelegibleediblegible.

-- Robert & Jean Cook (Cooks@home.ga), October 12, 2003.

Dammit! I'm drafting princes by midnight tonight.

YOU and YOU and YOU and YOU might as well get used to responsibility. Us princesses have been picking up after you guys, spoiling you guys with chocolate, scratching your ears, and generally making your lives here an absolute paradise.

It's about time you got acquainted with work.

-- helen (princess@mistress.the.line.blurs), October 13, 2003.

Gang: This is a serious situation that requires some decisions. Helen and I have exchanged some e's and here is what it comes down to.

Helen will be away (offline) for a while, and we need to pick up the slack. She is suggesting that it would be a good idea to have a new yahoo mail account for use by a team of moderators. This way, when someone requests the password they would be able to get it quickly, and also, it is preferable to use a yahoo account rather than any one individual's account for mod activity.

This is Kritter's site, but she is not around much, and we are having trouble even contacting her. (Kritter, if you're reading this please contact us or post). So it's up to us. The alternatives to setting up a mod team are:

*Stay cloaked, but then anyone who sends mail wanting the password will not get it.

*Start a new FRL forum and set it up with a team of mods (I don't know if this would make any sense but felt it should at least be listed as an alternative)

*Take OG up on her invitation and start using that as our main posting place instead of just a backup

If we stay here and start a new mod account, then some things will need to be done. Like---

*Someone (with keys) will have to change the addresses/links on the FRL site so that all mail goes to the new box.

*All mods will need to be sent the new yahoo account signin/password info.

*Someone (not necessary all mods) needs to be able to know how to do things like delete offensive posts, turn cloaking on/off, and admin stuff like that.

*There are probably other things to do too that I don't even know.

So pipe up about what we should do. Do you see any other alternatives? Whadya think?

Rob

-- (sonofdust@decision.time), October 13, 2003.

I made the account.

frl_admission@yahoo.com

I will email the password to Rob and let him take over.

This has been a bloodless coup. It is bloodless because we need new blood! So let's invite anyone we think is "safe"!

-- helen (militaristic@princess.packing.bags), October 13, 2003.

Princesses!

I did not hand out the admin password. You and Rob need to get together and handle this.

I love you all.

-- helen (which@way.to.the.exit?), October 13, 2003.

Haven't worked with yahoo's (y'all-who's down here?) but iffen Rob will get hold of me and educate my tired noggin a bit ............

-- Robert & Jean Cook (Cooks@home.ga), October 13, 2003.

Ok Rob, I will help however I can. My email is real. Two lil underlines between Aunt and Bee. We just gotta relieve Helen of her obligation-it's our duty as FRL'ans! I'll wait to hear from ya!

-- Aunt Bee (Aunt__Bee@hotmail.com), October 13, 2003.

Oh dear I'm sorry you are so stressed Helen. It's my busy time at the moment (end of financial quarter + family obligations), but it will settle down shortly. I don't know if there is anything I can do to help, but am willing to try if anyone has the patience to explain.

I've put my hotmail account for your records. Sorry about the fake, but some of the junk mail is too disgusting for words.

Best of luck with your last semester. I admire anyone with the gumption to study.

-- Carol (carfred@hotmail.com), October 14, 2003.

Robert; Check you email. If you need more info just reply to my email and I'll tell you whatever I can.

Aunt Bee and Carol; I think we have things in hand now. Thank you kindly for your offer to help. You are both True FRLians.

Holder of the Keys; Please change the mail addy(s) on this site to point to the new address for anyone requesting the entry password.

-- (sonofdust@thanks.anyway), October 14, 2003.

You're welcome! Heh heh, just the way I like it-the MEN doing the work for all us princesses! Not that I am lying back mind you. For some reason, I have the urge to make one of my grandmother's old deserts. Now that I think of it, I don't know that I have ever seen a recipe for it. But picture this: a freshly baked and cooled angel food cake, frosted with softened vanilla ice and put back in the freezer for a couple of hours to harden the ice cream back up. Then slice and serve with a sauce of fresh strawberries, sliced and allowed to macerate with a little sugar and a touch of Grand Marnier! AND, now that there is Splenda, I could even make it so ole Lon could indulge! = )

-- Aunt Bee (Aunt__Bee@hotmail.com), October 14, 2003.

Picture it?

Heck, I'm waiting for it ....

-- Robert & Jean Cook (LooksHungrily@fax.lineforbrownies), October 15, 2003.

AB - that's standard birthday fare here, minus the grand marnier (we've several teetotalers in the family). In fact I had some just on Sunday after our Thanksgiving dinner because it was my niece's birthday that day. Come to think of it, I guess that and a hammed up bun were supper that day. Mmmmmmm. My mouth waters just thinking of it.

-- Tricia the Canuck (jayles@telusplanet.net), October 15, 2003.

This princess can be found at: Treat@comcast.net but I really dont stop in much anymore, sorry. /frowny face.

-- kritter (k@a.n), October 19, 2003.

Thanks for letting us know kritter. Hope all is well.

-- (sonofdust@hi.kritter), October 19, 2003.

everyone!

I'm not sure exactly what you want me to do, but gaylasd@hotmail.com works. I only check it about once a week, though. gaylasd@yahoo.com also works, but I check it even less often. LOL!

Several of you have my 'every day' email address. I stay pretty busy moderating current news over at Mutter's. (Not to mention half of my life on the road.)

Helen, do whatever you need to do in order to ace those tests. I believe you're going to change the world when you get done!!!!!
