the old fashioned way
For me that would have been the Sears catalog, it isn't published anymore. :(
OP: Ive been around since the early BBS days, i have never met with anyone from the virtual world. I keep the two as separate as i can. I have friends that have done so, despite my warnings, and it never ended well.
Every single time I infringed upon that rule, I ended up regretting it
I didn't do it a lot, 2 times actually, and the second time it turned out to be a disaster, with massive ramifications/consequences
Lesson learned
There is a lot of krazy out there, i prefer to leave it out there, hehe.
Never stick your dick in krazy has been my number 1 rule when it comes to woman. Fortunately i learned it early on before my bar days.
During college years I've put my dick in crazy several times, something like, at least 4 times if memory serves
Glad it was of no serious consequences
A friend of mine inadvertently got a kid with crazy on the first shot... That's terrible thing to go through, he got quite messed up
off topic, its always nice to meet a fellow bbs'er. I was a frequent at the temple of the screaming electron myself.
I didnt find Totse until it hit the web and IRC, that place was knuckin futs. I grew up in farm country, things from that side of the country were relatively unknown to us county folk. I mostly dialed in state, WI and some in Shitago. Long distance BBS's were the reason behind my first job, mom hated paying those bills.
same here. The new internet service of aol, compuserve, prodigy, etc, seemed tame at first by comparrison
