Does anyone else's heart stop when they see a PM from Skinner in their mailbox?

[gateley]

I'm always sure I'm getting a warning. Or a pizza.

[seabeyond]

1. bah hahah, actually i havent been particularly good here lately and a warning

did cross my mind for a sec. lol. feel like i am back in school, lol

[flvegan]

2. No. The *warnings* come from the Mods.

Uh...I think. Not that I really have any evidence or experience with that.

No sir.

[dionysus]

35. not always ;)

[cherokeeprogressive]

3. Nope.

[AlCzervik]

4. It's always an amway catalog, Skinner promised i'd be a regional team leader...soon!

5. OMG! YES! i was a sprout here (still am) but i got a "Dear CasualWatcher9" from skinner...

and i was afraid to open it for days.

i could still log on, (?) but i refused to open that message.

i didn't want to know...

[az chela]

6. LOL,my first thought is what have i done now

[NanceGreggs]

7. Was it a message about ...

... donating to DU, by any chance?

I understand that's the message they send just before they tombstone you.

9. ha!

:rofl:

[Marrah_G]

31. We are all so screwed then!

[billyoc]

8. I feel Death's icy fingers around my throat every time.

:scared:

[Skittles]

10. aw jeez, I pushed things too far

yeah, I think that - yes indeed I do :D

[WheelWalker]

11. My heart stopped once already. The office pool now is, next time,

will he be dead before he hits the floor? $5 gets you in the pool. Pot's split. You've got a 50/50 chance. The question is, what's mine?

[noamnety]

12. I realized I am a hopeless optimist.

My first thought was that he was going to admit I was right about something we disagreed about ages ago. :)

[LeftyMom]

13. Warnings look different, and don't show up as PMs.

Not that I know. O8)

[Cronus Protagonist]

14. No, I know it's a request for money

He never talks to me otherwise... lol

[1]

16. skinner inboxes me all of the time. he just never referred to me as "dear" before...

THAT! scared me...

[kestrel91316]

15. It's like a letter from the IRS, lol. I've had a couple reprimands from the mods over the years,

and I always think that's what it is.........

[emilyg]

17. Nah.

[wtmusic]

18. He keeps trying to sell me herbal viagra

but I'm trying not to take it personally.

[Eurobabe]

19. All I posted was a pretty picture of Bavaria

No pizza for that. :rofl:

[MindPilot]

20. Yeah, it's like that early-morning phone call.

please be a wrong number, please, please, please...

[ben_meyers]

21. No, but then I guess unlike "some people"

my whole life doesn't depend on this place.

[riverdale]

22. I put him on ignore, but it didn't take

[Adsos Letter]

23. It was like my dad had stepped into the room...

...and I'm 53... :scared:

[aquart]

24. Yes!

[MiniMe]

25. Not if I see that there is a fundraiser going on...

If there wasn't, yes, I would panic.

[mmonk]

26. I fear no one.

Please don't hurt me.

[monmouth]

27. Haha, I told him the check was in the mail....n/t

[baldguy]

28. guilty conscience?

[shadowknows69]

29. I just feel shame that I can't afford to donate

Not even a lousy ten bucks. Ok I could, but then I couldn't afford the internet to come and see my sticky lol.

[Marrah_G]

30. Yup- happened to me this morning.

[book_worm]

32. Nope, I just figure it's donation time again.

[LWolf]

33. No. The big clue is that they inevitably appear

at the same time the donation "knockout" graphic does. ;)

Why are we donating to allow McCain to knock out GWB???

[Midlodemocrat]

34. Dear God, no. How else would I see pics of Jack and Lucas

and get his mom's cherry pie recipe?



:rofl:

[DearAbby]

36. Nawh...Skinner is like one of my kids

they only write or call when they are groveling for money...



I KEED I KEED!

[mnhtnbb]

37. Yes. I had a lot of my posts deleted from a thread yesterday--first time ever--

and then I find someone has given me a star!

That was much better than a visit to the principal's office!

[treestar]

38. Nope. I figure it is general board news, or that it's time to cough up $$

:hi:
