Wow....I've read through some of my old post, and this old shoe wants to apologize for a lot of my messages. I rambled a lot, and didn't make sense sometimes. When I first joined Sleuth, I was on several medications, that must have affected my thinking, and I didn't realize it. I'm truly embarrassed to even come back and play this game. Thanks for putting up with me and for being such good friends, during that time that I was suffering from much pain and sickness. Thankfully, I'm doing great today.

PS: Just told my spouse about this and he laughed and said: "Tell them you really aren't a mental case," and hey guys...I promise I'm not...LOL.

Hello Da Ru - it is nice to meet you. I love it when people are frank and open, it gives character and personality to the community. No need to apologise for being a unique personality!

As for throwing keyboards.....well, sometimes I lift the whole monitor and bang it down on the table. How is that for computer rage? @ Synesence: I sympathise entirely. I am currently trying to increase my standing with Order of Socrates - having previously been high with DAB. It is a long, slow process since they were at minus 30 at one point. However, it means I have to quit cases that lower OoS standing...and that really mounts up! Very dispiriting to look at on profile page. My advice? Don't look :)

Thanks Summer. Great hearing from you. It’s good to know I wasn’t alone in having tantrums. I became so emotionally involved with this game that it leaked into the real world. I had crying spells & complained endlessly to Texan, till I nearly drove him bonkers. I fretted about everything, and this Ben and Sunny can attest to, cause I bugged them enough about nonsense. So, peace and love to our Administrators.

I agree Summer, it takes time to gain status with the O.O.Socrates, A. Bro., Cosa Nostra, Eastern T's, Green H., etc., as well as any status in this game. It took me years to accomplish what I have, and I will say if one is serious about this game, it’s best to belong in an agency. Being homeless just doesn’t cut the mustard. Since I’ve returned to Sleuth City, this homeless PI has had difficulties in solving the harder cases. With only the Shoemaker & Fortune Teller at my disposal, those dang merchants are trying to drain my bank account dry, LOL! Example: Here’s how a case went down: “I‘m paid $700 to solve a case, and wind up paying out $1000 in fees to merchants for clamming up on me. Guess this old shoe needed a bath, ha! No really, I know what they’re doing, there are forcing me off the streets, over to the right side of the tracks, and it’s working, LOL! Now about those difficult cases that are more than I could handle, last night I wound up having to quit three cases, due to everybody clamming up on me. So, I too agree with you Synes., that I also wished that the “Quit Cases,” weren’t there for public viewing, cause I worried about what others thought. However, I realize this is part of the makeup of the game which encourages us to be the best we can be.

PS: Since we've been sharing about getting so emotional about this game, I had to share this. I read about this lady who watched her favorite soap opera everyday, and because she took it to heart, cared so much about the characters, she actually went to chruch the next Sunday morning and requested prayer for one of the characters who was fixing to have surgery, and this is suppose to have really happened. I would say that's getting emotionally attached..

Hopefully, none of us will need counseling, or intervention.....hahahaha! However, I do have Sleuth withdrawals......and I have to have my fix:)

I pray daily that Ben's conehead can be surgically altered and he can take off the fez!

This old shoe is getting tired of running about in this community in white high heeled slippers and a ragged beaded dress. Even the feathers were plucked from my mask by a sea gull down by the sea shore. To make matters worse, I need a bath but the local flop houses have banned me. I tried to cover up the order but I ran out of perfume. To top it all off, I have been smiling so long that it’s permanently frozen in place. Talk about Ben needing head surgery, well, it’s pretty bad when merchants clam up, and I just keep smiling, or when a big shot in one of the Orders demands that I leave…..I keep smiling. When I have to quit a case…I keep smiling…..when I false accuse a suspect and pay out dearly, I still have that stupid “Sardonic Grin.” This fanny flapper is in desperate need of help, so looks like I’m going to have to contact the big boys, SS, or Ben, (that is if he isn’t in the hospital), and pay me dues to move on up to the east side of town, where I can buy me a piece of pie. Hopefully, somebody will take pity of this old shoe and provide me with some new ones.

Hey there Lady Jas....I was just in a goofy mood last night and letting the silly side of me shine through.....again...LOL! However, since I've been away so long, and don't know what new items are available, I just may change some of it. Oh, and I see that I typed an error in my last reply above. I meant odor, oh well, sometimes when I get out of order and sorts, this brings out the odor....hehe! But, all joking aside I do need your help, and will send you an email as to what it is.

Hey Secret Squirrell, apparently you had head surgery instead of Ben, or do you have a rare blood disorder that turns you into this creature. I know I've not been getting enough sleep, and I'm exhausted from working and solving cases tonight, so it's possible I'm hallucinating...hehehe!
