carhill Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Here's a curious question. Have any of you veteran LS'ers ever gotten together in a voice chat space or talk to each other one on one? Yeah, I've talked to a few on the phone and met a couple IRL. One posted a thread about such a meeting last year.
dreamingoftigers Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I've talked on the phone and had many emails.
carhill Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Hey Eric, how's it going? It wouldn't be the weekend without ya.
dreamingoftigers Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 As soon as I saw the name, I knew who it was. Rather liked the "ham sandwich" one.
carhill Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I think it's a cool name. Got a young cousin with that name. I would opine that relatively few people here, save for the 'old-timers' (far older than myself), have any idea which person in the forum you are. If the rumors I've heard are correct, you won't have to be changing screen names anymore. Hope it works out.
USMCHokie Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Here's a curious question. Have any of you veteran LS'ers ever gotten together in a voice chat space or talk to each other one on one? I'm just curious how strong the bonds are between some of the veterans on this board. It does seem like a very vibrant community and generally well managed for spam. I've met a couple in person, talked with some extensively over email and the such, an extremely good friend come and gone... LS is a good place. I was actually supposed to meet up with another member tonight, but I was stuck without a car in these "hurricane-like" conditions...
D-Lish Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Then there is facebook- I have LS'ers as facebook friends as well.

Art_Critic Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I have LS FB friend's as well. Same here.. I think 7 or so...Just friended up with someone one last night
dreamingoftigers Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 You all are so funny. You have LS FB friends...yes....so? Are we not cool if we don't? I don't have a FB....it is to gayyyyy Seems like a simple thing: Question gets asked, Nice pretty girl answers. Other nice pretty girl quotes and shares experience. Your coolness may vary. And it's okay to be gay.
D-Lish Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Same here.. I think 7 or so...Just friended up with someone one last night That's such a coincidence- me too! I just counted- I have 8 from LS on my fb.
tigressA Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I came here in May '09 with a dilemma, been here ever since. Never thought I'd become so attached to an online forum. I do have 2 LS'ers on my FB. I'd like to have a few more...and I'd love to meet a few LSers in person. Don't think it will ever happen though. Other than FB I haven't had any outside contact with anyone from here.

I've met 3 people from here IRL, it was pretty cool. Not sure I would meet anyone else from here though, the others were pretty special to me...
jerbear Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 He's just jealous nobody wants to be his friend. I have 13 LS peeps on FB. Unlucky Time to add another LS friend! I have a few LS friends and since they are friends of friends, chatted with a few on the phone.
rafallus Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 ^LOL, you mad? Why you mad, bro? PS. I came here to share what I've experienced and learn on sth I didn't/was ambiguous about before.
somedude81 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I apologise CE. You have to know that it sucks to be constantly having eyes rolled at you and snarky BS comments like man-bitch, get over it and "get help" for my constant writing of my problems here. Remember yo uonly see words here, no emotion at all. Seeing me offline....yo uwould know...all of yo uwould as everyone would better understand offline. Ther is just no emotional expression here...just what you can do with words and that is not enough to show people how it really is.....on th eother side of the screen. You're not the only one who has problems dude. Some of us have very serious issues. But we don't troll the board trying to annoy others.
somedude81 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Good for you for containing your frustration in a mature way...good for you. Now go away. Funny for you to say that.
Cee Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 On LS, I am too shy to initiate real world contact. I feel like what we talk about is so personal that I am hesitant to invade people's private space by PMing them. Also, I have this impression that there are flirtations going on among members. And since I'm in a relationship, I should avoid all of that. But I am glad that so many have connected on the board.
somedude81 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 The thoughts of suicide didn't occur just because of her. She's merely a catalyst nudging me closer. I've got more problems that I never talk on this board. Either way, I've said enough and I don't want to focus on the negative things in my life. It's a bad way to start my day.
rafallus Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Well if you have thoughts about suicide over a stupid girl that most likely thinks your a weird Mo_fo and doesn't reply to you, you probably would of jumped the bridge if you had my problems. I had exactly the same problem when I was like... 17. And I'm sure thousands of others did. Problems like that really aren't special or unique.

I don't hesitate to contact someone in PM when I feel a connection. Some nice friendships have formed this way which has led to meeting in person. It's always been a good time of laughs, talking, so on. So, I plan for it to continue when I go on my European world tour early next year. LS is not a security blanket for me. It's a window to peek into and see how others I've come to care about, are doing.
Pyro Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Here's a curious question. Have any of you veteran LS'ers ever gotten together in a voice chat space or talk to each other one on one? I'm just curious how strong the bonds are between some of the veterans on this board. It does seem like a very vibrant community and generally well managed for spam. I live with another LS member. I have a handful of them as friends on FB and I have spoke to a few LSers on the phone. As for the original post, I have graduated already. I come back to visit sometimes.
zengirl Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 If I were in another field that wasn't so ridiculously into your personal life, and I wasn't super paranoid about linking myself to my posts, I would probably interact more with people from LS, but I always shy away from that since I try not to link anywhere I admit I'm a Buddhist to anything that links to my name, picture, or the like. Not that I think individuals would somehow mess up my life, but you never know, and I've had experiences in the teaching profession that make me paranoid.
