Meet and Greet

Reminds me of a joke:

Patrons of a saloon in the old west are enjoying their beers when a man brusts in, yells "Big Jim is coming!  Big Jim is coming!" and promptly rushes back out.

Without hesitation, all of the patrons immediately get up, leaving their drinks and a scattering of personal belongings behind, and in a flurry of fearful chatter and pushing and shoving immediately rush out of the saloon leaving only the bartender behind.

About a minute later, this hulk of a man darkens the doorway, and literally blows the saloon doors off their hinges when he enters.  The bartender slowly and cautiously peers up over the bar and sees in front of him the hugest, ugliest man he's ever seen.

"Gimme that bottle of Whiskey" the man growls.

The bartender rises slowly and hands over the bottle.  The man promptly bites the top off of the glass bottle and pours the entire thing down his throat, loose shards of broken glass and all.

"W-w-w-would you l-l-like another bottle?" the bartender stammers, scared for his life.

"Are you crazy?" the man growls, "Big Jim is coming!"

This site is simply WONDERFUL for connecting with others, in my view, spiritually speaking. In others, well, however they have found Life to be their experience perceived.. But, DEFINITELY where anyone CAN bond (become kin) in the most loving-est way that will stay with one FOREVER.

We all ONLY truly need LOVE, for this is the actuality of what Life is, and why so many are so separated to this experience is so much walls and barriers that each person has been so erroneously influenced to, in whatever way that may be, throughout their growth in the world's ignorance for the past 6,000 yrs.

But, the GOOD NEWS is, it's slowly being reverted, daily, weekly, mnthly, yrly, *back* to*whowe ALL truly are, and THAT, my friends, is infinite in it's possibilities to ANYTHING... It is much to fulfill to bring this together *AS IT IS WRITTEN*, but, most asSUREdly this shall come to past, and that moment in time, I EASILY could see us ALL enjoying a Wonderful Cruise, for a 3 week afloat on the sea, traveling the world, and reminiscing our times on this site.

we all are soooooooooo much more then we could begin to fathom, being we have forgotten quite much to how truly magnificent all Life form IS, due to the ignorance man has invented of themselves for the past 6,000 yrs (Adam and Eve), but we all ARE GOING to awake, and THAT is called "The Great Awakening", one grand of a day, WHEN all has been fulfilled as IT SHALL...

I love you ALL, and I ever have, and EVER SHALL! period :3

I came to this site to play chess.  Go figure


As did I, which is why I was surprised by the sense of community this site tries to have.  I didn't realize that it was such a social site.  I don't think it's so odd that people form friendships on this site unless you have no social stimulation outside of the site.

Oh c'mon! At least admit I'm beautiful!

 


I admit, you're beautiful, but I wonder about your sanity since you're wearing a grown on a beach.  Duh!

the best way to meet people from chess.com is if dateline is present.

I agree that public meeting places are safest.  There are a couple of other members here that I'd love to sit down and have lunch with one of these days.  I correspond with some truly amazing people here and I'd love to meet them.


I prefer to meet in a public place, too, such as, a coffee shop or Barnes and Noble, to play chess  with someone for the first time.  However, there are some people on chess.com I would like to meet, such as trysts, because of her humor and tart replies.

I prefer to meet people I don't know in a dungeon or some other secure area, like a cave or a remote island.

True. Crosspinner chased me out of his watermelon patch when I was a kid.
