Who would you turn to if things weren't going so well? I'd turn to quite a few of you.

Sorry if the title appeared somewhat flippant. New answers

― Will, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, I had my own worries a couple of months back, and Certain Good People here were all among the first I contacted about it. Thank you all for being there, and to others who have sent kind thoughts since. I do appreciate it, and you know who you are. :-)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Are you out of your mind? I'd be no use, you'd be no use, no one would be any use.

― Nick, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Of the people on IL*, I'd turn to Dastoor for knowledge and sage advice, and Madchen and Cabbage as they're probably my closest chums hereon. Aaaw. But you all seem so wise. Tom is meta-wise. Hopkins is meta-Tom. God, you're all great!

― Mark C, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Aaargh! And steady Mike! I can't believe I forgot! He is the king of wiseship.

― Mark C, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh yeah - I take back what I said. Mike (known here by his 'Michael Jones' handle) is indeed very wise.

― Nick, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have the wisdom of Solomon and only recently escaped getting sent to jail on a cutting the baby in half case. Sheesh.

― Pete, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hey, that crazy "Michael Jones" nickname! What will these kids think of next?

I'm sure Michael Jones knew who I was talking about, and that's all that matters :-)

(yes, I know I have to face the burning sands for my emoticon sins)

― Mark C, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hang on Pete - Solomon was really againstcutting the baby in half. Sounds to me like you've got the wisdom of a childless harlot.

― Nick, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm wiser than Dastoor. Why are you being so horrible these days Nick?

― Sarah, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Although he probably has more knowledge and more "sage" than I do. I have more ONIONS ha ha together we could make a nice STUFFING oh dear god I am SO going home now.

― Sarah, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nick, Mark - how in the name of Harry Catterick have I managed to convince you that I'm 'wise'? Are you sure you don't just mean 'old'?

Anyway, Mark S and Dr C are several years wiser than me.

― Michael Jones, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If I were to ask any ILErs for advice it would be Suzy or Maryann, but I can't see myself doing so.

― Maria, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Our pokemon overlord (ie Mark S).

― Nicole, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why not turn to everyone as a problem shared is a problem multiplied explonentially.

― Menelaus Darcy, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

kim seems to have all the answers. i would ask her. but i have a friend called steve who is the probably wisest person i know, and he's not on the internet.

― di, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't like sharing my problems, I have to maintain an outpost of the empire soicness abou the whole thing wherever possible :)

― Menelaus Darcy, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

recently I turn to dastoor for all my erection troubles

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Does Dastoor actually help with you there or does he just stare at the object in question and offer his thoughts?

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what makes people want to be outwardly stoic and bottle up their problems?

― Maria, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I=wise ass

― Geoff, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can put "Esquire" after my name. And my advice comes at $180/hour (hey, that's cheap by NYC standards these days).

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i have gone to suzy for art advice and the theban horde for advice as well. i wish i knew ned well enough to ask . and tad can you email me off board , i need some advice .

― anthony, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm an idiot-savant.

― james, Saturday, 10 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why are you being so horrible these days Nick?

What are you on about?

― Nick, Saturday, 10 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Solomon may have been implicitly agin the baby dissection, but it was his suggestion and if the 'rents had rocked off and actually done it he would have had more than just egg on his face. He would have had blood on his hands.

― Pete, Monday, 12 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Only if they'd done it in front of him.

Meta-wise? I am wise about wise people, but not otherwise? Great!
