Cierto.

Accepting you have a problem is the first step Dean. We luv you

[SpiritAlight 1]

Goodness, thanks, everyone!

I'm always at your service.

And what's FTW? Follow That Wino? Now, that's silly! Although I do enjoy a glass of Boone's on occasion, I'm a G&T gal!

Love,

Joyce

Dear Joyce,

Just to help you out, I looked up the following for you.

I was most interested to read that last paragraph, and I believe you might appreciate it to; although it has nothing to do with Cool Whip.

(Yes, I am new here, and a quick study.)

English writing/language is evolving/devolving.

"Question: 'What is "FTW"? What Does It Mean?'

While participating in an online discussion forum about motorcycles, you see this weird expression "FTW". People post phrases like "slipper clutches, ftw!" and "full face helmets, ftw!". You see the same thing in an online gaming forum. The gamer participants are posting phrases like "polymorph, ftw!" and "druid hurricane, ftw!".

Answer: In 2008, the most common meaning of "FTW" is "for the win", an Internet expression of enthusiasiam.

While there were nastier meanings in previous years, FTW today commonly stands for "For the Win". It is an expression of enthusiasm. "FTW" is the same as saying "this is the best" or "this item will make a big difference, I recommend using it". Examples would include: "anti-lock braking, ftw!", "spellchecker, ftw!", and "low-carb diets, ftw!"

Older meanings of FTW

Years ago, "FTW" used to have a very negative meaning: "f**k the world". This was a term commonly used by social rebels, anarchists and anti-authoritarian types to express frustration with modern society. Gratefully, this antisocial meaning has dramatically faded in use in the 21st century, and people largely use "for the win" as the modern meaning for this acronym now."

Dear Spirit:

Why, thank you for your hypothesis. I recall this question coming up once before (see FTW), but I was told that it did not stand for Fondue the World! So it's good to have this extra information, but, like many things, there are competing viewpoints.

What do you think of this? Maybe I'll say it at the next Tupperware party: "Goodness! FTW, Cool Whip!"

Love,

Joyce

I feel like I've been kissed by the Queen or something...hee hee.

Thank you for responding to me Dear Joyce.

As for saying it in regards to Cool Whip, that sounds like a winner!

Enjoy!!

Dear Joyce,

I am really bored right now. Any suggestions on how I could liven things up a bit?

Love,

Dear Joyce,

I'm hoping you will be able to settle an argument for me. Last week I invited some friends over for fondue and the conversation, as it frequently does, turned to Alan Alda. I happened to mention that he wore a moustache in the film 'Same Time Next Year', as I vividly remember being so shocked in the cinema that I dropped my Spangles. My friends, however, maintain that I am mistaken. Could you please tell us which of us is correct?

Yours,

Go Fondue!

Dear Julez:

Goodness! Please forgive me for my delayed reply. You'll never guess what I've been getting up to over the last few days! Yes, you guessed it, I've been taking lessons on how to make a pipe organ with common household objects. When I mentioned this to my good friend Dave "Baby" Cortez, he insisted that I do a little something with his pipe organ! Goodness! I told him if he's in need of services to call his plumber! He's such a hoot. And his organ really does whistle!

Anyway, there are so many ways you can alleviate your boredom. Where do I start? Well, one thing I wish I had time to do anymore is take upholstery classes (I've been too busy polishing my fondue pots to get ready for those fall parties). One of my greatest all-time creations is a chair shaped like a chicken with its head cut off. Edgy, I know! My party guests love it! And I swear the chicken didn't mind!

Love,

Joyce

Wow, spangles. Whatever sweet story will we hear next?

hang on, i need a tissue

[Chica Yeyé 41]

Dear Joyce,

First, I want to remind you that God loves you (since god knows of the beauty of synthetic hair products and always appreciates macrame altars). That said, I wanted to ask you about a recent addition to our VJ world of peace and cool whip: HAL 9000. A source, which shall remain unknown, has told me that all of HAL 9000's knowledge about fashion, love in the age of Aquarius and *gasp* sex comes from a replica of your memories. Is that so? Or was it just that you and HAL used to hang out at Studio 54 before he became famous? Are you still homies? What is the REAL story of Joyce and HAL 9000>

And if it is not too much bravery to ask: how can I get my husband off the cookies n' cream? I would like to entice him with more sensual flavors like tutti-frutti, but I have seen him sneaking off bed to eat cookies n' cream

If HAL 9000 may add:

Joyce had some of her massive wisdom downloaded onto one of my drives for the sake of humanity. Hence I rather enjoy recommending Cool Whip at times although my circuits prefer the heavier, more electron rich concoction known as sweetend condensed milk.

For the history-savy, perhaps Len is confusing me, a HAL 9000, with one of my early predecessors- the Commodore 64 series.
