LYC: Speaking of weekend plans, tonight I'm meeting up with a woman I've "known" online for 17 years, but we have never met.

Posted by loosilu (aka loosilu2) Jun 11 '09, 14:08

I met Jo on a Usenet group, then we got on a mailing list which is still active, and now she works for a close friend of mine. She named her younger daughter after me (middle name, because she said when she was pregnant she kept dreaming of opinionated redhaired girls so she had to name her after me. Her daughter is an opinionated redheaded 14 year old now.

Jo is here in DC on business so I finally get to meet her. How cool is that?

Heh. I remember how strange it was to talk to people in other SUNY colleges on the VAX system. At least I think that's what it was called. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 11, 14:14 1
