Jinx- If you are using Engaged, Neil's is the way to go. If you are using Picospan, type "start" while in the conference you want to start a topic in, and that'll either work or tell you what else you needed to do. [Read entire topic]

Jinx -- http://engaged.well.com/engaged/engaged.cgi?c=inkwell.vue&f=0&t=104 should do it.

I figure I'll wait until this topic is officially frozen and done before posting in the new one. Out of respect. (Takes off hat, looks very sober for a moment, puts hat back on.) (The Last Post plays mournfully in the background.) [Read entire topic]

Ok, hopefully my lame little post won't be the last, but could someone please remind me (by e-mail if need be) how to add a new topic? I've been trying for a about an hour, and maybe it's these 10 hour workdays, but I'm just lost. Feeling awfully dumb today

Jinx who loves the whole romance aspect of Dierdre and Jack. [Read entire topic]

This is way too funny.

I love the name "Dierdre". I just thought I'd mention. I think I've read Amber too often. And Celtic lit.

I'll wander off giggling now for some breakfast. [Read entire topic]

"Jack?"

"Yes, Dierdre?"

"Jack? You're pining, aren't you?"

"Pining, Dierdre? Whatever makes you say that?"

"Oh, Jack. It's that -- that far-off look in your eyes. Is it the war? Is that it, Jack?"

"No. No, Dierdre. It's not the war."

"Then -- then for heaven's sake, darling, tell me. Tell me what it is. I'm sure that there is nothing that we cannot bear, together."

"I suppose, Dierdre, you're just going to call me a silly old muffin, but. Well, it's the end of an era."

"Oh Jack."

"Oh Dierdre."

"I didn't think that whole topic 73 thing would get to you like that. I should have known. I've been a fool."

"No Dierdre. I've been the fool."

"Topic 104. It. It won't change anything, will it?"

"Gosh no. It won't change us, anyway Dierdre. I just can't help remembering. It's all going away. Topic 73. There's amusic, you know, when you say it. It's got a sort of magic about it. Topic 104 -- can it, will it ever be the same?"

"Jack. There's something I have to tell you."

"What is it Dierdre?"

"I'm -- I'm going to have a baby."

"Oh Dierdre."

"Oh jack. Are you.... are you angry?"

"No. I was just thinking... I suppose we're going to jolly well have to make topic 104 a land fit for heroes now."

(Stirring music swells.)
