Default Simply Looking For A Friend...

I would just like to say to those of you who referred to my intentions of finding a long lost work-mate as "stalkerish", that it is sad that you have so much free time and assume just because someone is seeking info (as I lost all of my photos and address books and such in the hurricane....) they have less then honest intentions. My boyfriend and I have important questions for my friend, and I am sure I can find him, and he will be very pleased when we do! Thank you for you help anyway.

You don't have to post a new thread every time you write.

This person posts twice and gets mocked and bitched at, and by the Patriarch, even! A fine example of DR1 hospitality, I must say.

SANTIAGOorBUST, I thought about replying to your post earlier. I was going to tell you that this board has a kind of split personality. When someone posts something that's dumb or has some sexual content, other posters often can't resist the opportunity to make cheap jokes. (I do it too. It's fun!)

I was going to tell you that the flip side of the coin is that when someone asks for help or information or advice, these same people can be incredibly kind and helpful, dispensing an amazing range of knowledge and wisdom (albeit still with the occasional cheap joke).

Well, I was going to tell you that, but in your case it doesn't seem to apply. It's possible that someone may know about your friend and PM you. If so, let us know. And don't give up just yet. Maybe everybody just got up on the wrong side of the bed today.

Default raw deal

El Gringo 762, for what its worth, I think you got quite a raw deal and Timex had to close the other thread because of the moronic responses. But anyway, all is not lost. Perhaps if you give a little more information, for example, where were you when you lost all your address books etc., the posters on the board may be more forthcoming. It is the on-line world and you need to take that into consideration. So, let us know who you are, where you are, where you were and possibly someone will recognise your friend and let him know that you're trying to contact him.

Default I apologize!

I saw the other post, and since we have had a rash of multiple posts on the same thing: Santo Domingo to Barahona was just a recent one, but Dolores handled it perfectly.--Anyway I wanted to point out that, like we used to say in New York: "Alright already! I hoid ya!"

Anyway, this is for the denizens of the North Shore to answer. I'v only met one bartender in the past five or six years and that's Ted at Rocky's....(Does Dawn count, too??)

RE: Color Codes

GOLD = No life
Silver = Gets out a little
Bronze= Young and lively, old and spry--New to the board.
