[Pumpy Tudors]

I have only read some of the answers so far, but I want to jump in here and say that I really appreciate your participation in this. As far as FTB goes, I'm bookended by two of my very favorite people here in you and EaglesFan27.

Again, thanks very much for your answers. Great job.

"red bearded step child"

I like it.

[Izulde]

Excellent job, Ant. I know it can't have been easy writing some of that :)

[terpkristin]

Wow.
That was a powerful read, Antmeister. Thanks for sharing (and for the record the "curse" I have is commonly referred to as 'terpkristinitis.' :)

[vtbub]

Amazing story. Great stuff.

[Antmeister]

Pumpy - Thanks for the high praise. I am an Pumpy and Eaglesfan27 fan myself.
st.cronin - change it now
Izulde - Yeah, some of that stuff was definitely tough to write.
terpkristin - Thanks for taking that joke lightly. I have sympathy for you pain, but I don't have the empathy since I never broke anything. I will have to remember 'terpkristinitis'.
vtbub - And thanks for taking the time to read through that chapter.

Thanks for the compliments. I apologize for the length because it was not my intent for it to be this long. I copied all the questions and answered them during my free time. I couldn't believe I had reached 19 pages when all was said and done.

[Raiders Army]

You know the answer to this. It depends on you.

[Eaglesfan27]

You were one of the people I strongly considered selecting, and I'm really glad Pumpy picked you. Thanks for sharing and doing such a great job, Antmeister.

[Young Drachma]

Really insightful. This feature is really cool.

[wade moore]

I read this last night but was too tired to respond.

Great read. it is nice that everyone has been willing to share some really personal moments that they haven't shared around here before. The story about your brother is sad, but did a lot to illustrate who you are as a person which is what this feature is about.

[Butter]

Thanks, Antmeister! Very good read.

[Antmeister]

Thanks for the compliments again. Was second guessing whether I should have answered the question because I didn't know if it would bring back emotions I didn't want to revisit. Glad I did though.

[Dutch]

Another great read, thank you. I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.

Also...

I first met Lorena when they had an outing to some play. Robert Townsend (a comedian) was one of the guest and I was trying to get a picture with the guy. One of the buttons on my long sleeve shirt had popped, so I got creative and put my watch on the outside of my shirt to keep it closed.


Lorena kept staring at my shirt and asked me why I had a watch on the outside of my shirt. I explained my reasoning and she just thought it was so funny. For me, it was practical and for her it was ridiculous.

That's hilarious stuff right there. :)

[Antmeister]

...That's hilarious stuff right there. :)

Well I was wearing a rayon shirt. You can't just roll up the sleeves on that thing because it was too thin and would just slide down. I thought I looked cool with the watch on the outside, plus it served it's purpose of holding my shirt in place. I still don't see why this is so hilarious. :p

Don't let or her rag you.

You got the girl, didn't you?!

Fixed it for ya. :)

[Dutch]

damnit wade, you stole my thunder!

[wade moore]

damnit wade, you stole my thunder!Too slow!

[Antmeister]

Fixed it for ya. :)

Thanks for the fix, but I think you and wade are undestimating the power of rayon. The rayon sensed that there was an opportunity and popped the button on purpose. It then will me to place a watch on my sleeve. Much like Spiderman's living costume, Venom.

Who's up next?

[Antmeister]

Who's up next?

I believe you will find out tommorrow.

[Lorena]

I hassled Antmeister to give me an answer to 1 question but he wouldn't budge so yesterday was the first time I read it and I'm pretty shocked to see how much he shared. He's usually very reserved so reading that he actually mentioned this woman was something I didn't expect. I think his tea might have been too strong ;)

[FrogMan]

another gread read. Thanks for fleshing out who Antmeister really is, I sincerely appreciated the heart you put into it.

Sorry if my siblings question shook all those emotions. I really can't fully understand all you've been through, but I sympathize with you.

Thanks for the link to 9 Dragons, it certainly looks interesting. Not sure if you know about it but I had found another free martial arts based MMORPG called Martial Heroes (http://www.martialheroes.com/main.php). I just don't have time to get into either game right now as Civ4 is taking way too much of my free time, but I've saved the links for a future try.

I found it kind of odd that 9 Dragons is not in your big database though. You're slipping my friend. ;)

PS: no, I did not speak with Lorena prior to putting my list of questions together. You just struck me as somebody who would struggle in the cold. I guess I guessed right, huh? :p

PPS: even though it had a bit of a Loren-ish style to it (notice the lack of an "a" to end the name), I liked the attention put into the formatting very much. :)

[digamma]

Thanks. Good read. Appreciate your openness.

[KWhit]

Great job Ant. Thanks for sharing with us.

I'm glad to know more about you.

[Schmidty]

Great stuff Ant. I can't believe that I didn't see this, or the questions thread earlier. I would have had a ton of good questions for you. :)

[Groundhog]

Great read.
