Came home to some terrible news.

Like the others who have posted replies to Yoli's original post, I would offer my condolences to her and to others who were friends of the deceased woman. Judging by her posts, Yoli may be somewhat excessive in what she thinks and does, and may be more self involved than some would consider to be desirable, but I don't think there is any question that her heart is in the right place, and she seens to be a good and proper member of society, in terms of her visible characteristics. You could take her and Ashleigh to lunch, and, most likely, no one in the restaurant would notice anything out of the ordinary.

Actually, I have wondered at times how many of the people I interact with during business and other activities, might have unusual or even scandalous sex lives, which I or others who come in contact with them would never suspect. Probably, it's better that we don't know what the people around us are up to, at times when they are out of our sight--albeit, it would seem that most people who engage in unusual activities, usually compartmentalize that part of their lives, and cause no trouble to those around them because of the character of their secret behavioral patterns. Those of us who live humdrum lives, never have any inkling of the sensational things going on around us. The best principle to follow appears to be, live and let live, as long as a person's actions aren't harming anybody else.

Hey! I resemble that remark!!!......

Thanks for the overall "good review", Monsieur (Indi-)Geste. I like you too.

Let me give you a little better insight into the mysterious/playful/oversexed/self-indulgent ball of estrogen that is your loving Yoli

There's a certain little creed by which I live, instilled in me by my parents and a few others who have enriched my life. While there are several components to said creed there a some that I try most determinedly to honor...in the observance rather than by the breach.

One: "Do no harm"...actually the pledge of the medical profession, but valid for all.

Two: "For every moment spent in total self-indulgence spend two moments being kind to others."

Three: "If one has two loaves but another has none, one loaf is given. Then each has one."

Four: "If one ate yesterday but another did not then one does not eat today so that the other may eat."

Works for me.

Yoli

Not really a bad girl, when you take a closer look.

In fairness to Miss Yoli, I thought what she was describing was based on a relationship much deeper and wider, personally and professionally, than just somebody she shared a drink with and a chat about castration. I was not left with the impression she meddled in somebody else's affairs just to meddle.

My favorite bassmaster and cyberpal, Yoli.

......as long as she doesn't have at hand an elastrator, a burdizzo, or anything with a sharp blade on it.

Actually, I usually feel some empathy to someone like Yoli or the late Luvpain (Matt), who is willing to be himself or herself, and follow a different way of thinking and doing things than others do. I never met Luvpain, and haven't met Yoli either, but it's evident from their posts that they don't think they are constrained by what others around them want them to be or to do. For Luvpain, I think this led to a lot of difficulty in life, despite the fact that he had a number of loyal friends.

Yolita The Chiquita here,

During the time that The Original FUBG (Now WOBG) held forth on this account she communicated with Luvpain rather often via private chat and (I think) at least two phone-cons (violating her own rule, for some reason..or maybe it was Email...I dunno.) She also sent him some $$$, as she did at least two/three other EA members that I know of.

She expressed concern for his mental/physical health on more than one occasion and was horrified by what he had done/was doing to his body, especially his peepee. She realized that, one way or the other, he wasn't going to be with us for long...premonition, I suppose, and was saddened to learn of his eventual demise.

To Ash(leigh)'s horror, WOBG mentioned that she might invite Luvvie HERE in order that she might hook him up with a shrink of her acquaintance (a cousin of hers, I think,) in an effort to "save" him, as she expressed it. She was willing to find his transport to and from his home and see to his care and feeding while here.

I was sort of on the fringe of the planning and was totally neutral re the whole matter. BG, on the other hand, pointed out that there was no knowing what safety risks might be involved...a total stranger, and one with "issues", at that, being in their home and with BG stationedthree hours away at the time. Let's remember that HE was to this "Manor" born and does have total say.

There were two other EA members that she wanted to invite, probably simultaneously with Luvvie's visit, perhaps to lend support to him and serve as protection for us. Well, it's all meaningless now, sad to say.

Yoli

No humor this time.

As a PS to the above...

One of the prospective invitees was none other than The Baron von Wolfenstein but she knew he was not able to leave his responsibilities at home. The others were, I think, Riverwind and IE.

Just think, TWO eunuchs and Uncle Wolfie lounging about by the pool...naked (except for Unc.) I'd have freaked out.

We shared a giggle or three imagining taking them all to the largest ranch; The one BG owns a share (37,000 acres) in right above rugged and beautiful Big Bend National Park

http://www.nps.gov/bibe/photosmultimedi ... photos.htm

and having them spend a few days on horseback, ridin' the range, each with a lever-action Winchester in the saddle scabbard, drinking unfiltered kawfee from a coffee pot bubbling over the campfire, dodging rattlers, scorpions, black bears, mountain lions, tarantulas, huge and nasty centipedes, and having to live off the land.

BG said he'd agree to take leave from the Army and ramrod the expedition in order to see THAT!;)

Oh, what might have been:(

Yoli

Still hoping
