Sleuth Home - Message Boards - The Gumshoe Lounge

May-16-2006 02:09

With great interest have I been reading the graduation thread.
It is one of the most interesting threads I have read in a long long time. I think we can pad ourselves on the back.

There is just something really interesting I noticed on the sleuth message boards, after being here for two years. Something that is quite different from other message boards and communities I have been in. Though we have brushed on topics what our favorite movies are, whether we think it is soda or pop, the books we read, and mystery games. We also know where we come from. On ocassion we discuss current events.

But no one ever posts about their actual life? Not only who we are, what we do, our family etc. But what happened in our lives, our day to day. Or anything behind being pretend detectives. I am one of the few people that for some reason (unknown to me except that jojo started) most people call Nikkie even on the message board, referring to my real name. As far as I know my bio, actual refers to me as a person outside of sleuth.

I personally would like to see more of that in here. But I am right assuming others don't? For as long as these message board exists we are still on the topic of new game ideas, newbie questions, and pub quizzes. I am assuming this is for a reason. Obviously no one has to share, but at the way our boards are now......I'd feel weird for it even being an option if I created a thread about something that happened to me today.

Personally what I like most about sleuthchat. Is that you are not talking to a bunch of pretend detectives, but actual people.

Thanks Joe. Ulcers and lymphoma, that's exactly what I am trying to prevent now and hired a lawyer that specializes in this stuff. :( How cool, manuscripts! I hope you get some luck soon. I guess you are one of those people that I keep hearing about....the ones that after suffering a major crash due to work related disease, end up much happier doing what they love. Instead of going back to the toxic environment they got sick in. I am determined to get out with my soul in tact, but I still have a few legal battles to get out of the way.

So who's next? BARRY-BARRY-BARRY????????

Funny, I noticed Det Sean King/Ken who introduced himself in here.......has been around for over a year, and this is the one of the first times he posted. How cool!!!!

Well, dollface jstkdn, you're going to have to get me liquored up first and that's not going to happen any time soon as I've become a teetotaler after my binge after the Prohibition repeal. Don't pine for me too much. I've disappointed in the past and I don't want to spoil it for the other dames.

*tips hat, winks, and makes a smooth exit*

Oh my, that's the first time anyone has ever referred to me as dollface. :)

First and foremost, let me apologize in advance for my hick talk... I.E. ya'll, ya, holler, and any other word I use that you cannot pronounce/understand.

This is a good idea... although I rarely have time to actually read all of this I will for sure look for the people I know... helps in the stalking (muah ha ha)!

I'm a 22 year old female from Duncan USA (small town Oklahoma). My first name is Cheyenne (yes like the indian tribe and no I'm not indian) not sure I know all of you well enough for a last name lmao.

I work, I play often at the same time he he he. I was off for awhile from Sleuth, a big part of it being I was seeing someone and he took up all the time I had. What a waste, detective could be so high by now. Now that I'm single again, it's back to Sleuthing for me. I do oil paintings when I can/feel like it. They don't sell for much or often but it's enough to keep me going.

I don't have much to rant about. Believe that complaining does ya no good, just brings everyone else down. I love to kid around and joke ALOT though so if ya need a smile on your face holler at me.

I just came across this thread so, thought I'd post :)

I've been around here since Feb 2005, and most know me by "Mak" (Makensie Brewer) Her license ran out but, I'm sure she will renew sometime....eventually!

This is my 2nd detective, obviously, and people still call me Mak :)

My real name is Michelle, I am 34 (soon to be 35 August 2nd), I live in Ohio. Im very close to my parents, and my brother (he is 41).....they are my bestfriends :) I live with my fiance' in a house we just bought. It's big and beautiful. Sort of out in the country :) We have a bird (Cockatiel) named Tiki, an ornery puppy named Goldie, she is a yellow lab, and we have 2 1/2 yr old Boxer named Rusty. He is a big baby, and very protective of him and I, especially me :) We've had h im for 2 weeks. A friend of ours couldnt keep himand he wanted a good home for him, so, here he is. With us, in a good home. Quite the handful, having two dogs. Love them but sometimes wonder why the hell I got animals? LOL
Of course, when they do something sweet, I forget all about them thoughts!

I work part-time at my parents trucking company, and will soon be working 3rd shift at Wal-Mart. (my favorite store hehe)

This was a great idea, Nikki :)
