Hey "beans guy", haven't seen you in a while! human  01:22, 15 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Hey Human, I've been here, just lurking. Have I missed any fun?  18:06, 15 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Nothing—you've missed nothing! And don't ask about Ides, either!  -- 19:32, 15 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Oh, I could easily find out about that, I just choose not to, however if someone would care to explain on IRC......  00:27, 16 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Hehe... human  14:03, 16 May 2008 (EDT)

Reduced Block time
That wandal has wandalised several times in the past few days (Grawp, Hagger etc) - Block time should have been extended! 18:36, 16 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Agreed! Burn him! Or start an account called Hagrid and really freak him out. 18:37, 16 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Ok, I'll extend it, I just didn't want to overdo it, but I agree. 18:44, 16 May 2008 (EDT)

Hi!
Hello! This site is awesome :-) Ty for the link! Scigirl543 10:53, 20 May 2008 (EDT)

Was, of course, me, helping Trent experiment. In the meantime, thanks for fixing, and you pretty much proved the case against Chaos!' crap at community standards.
 * Seven or Eight Pointzes!!!
 * For being a Lert in teh middlez of the night and cranking back on wandalism. Thanks, Beans guy, you were perfect.  ħ uman  03:22, 28 June 2008 (EDT)

re: Welcome, and err.... what?
I have user pages on a fairly large number of wikis and I like to keep track of the statistics for each wiki to see which ones are growing, and which ones are going stagnant.  Blank Verse  21:12, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
 * Ah, ok, just was curious, thanks for the clarification. 21:27, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
 * Oh, I see now. Interesting...   18:50, 8 July 2008 (EDT)

Your damn apostrophe
That's what was doing it. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate apostrophes.....anyway, do you mind if I reactive the message for your account and see if you can erase it? TMT&#39;s sock 21:29, 22 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Go right ahead. You know what, I'm just going to be nice and name-change to something apostrophe free. 21:30, 22 August 2008 (EDT)
 * No need on my account, I think I have it fixed. Let me know. You should see the message now. 21:34, 22 August 2008 (EDT)
 * It's working great now, thanks. 21:36, 22 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Cool. 21:36, 22 August 2008 (EDT)

Thanks
Thank you for providing the correct color for Template:R, Pinto. How did you know—did you use that eyedropper whatsit-program? 23:10, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Yep, I did. And your welcome, besides, we need to look at the bigger picture of successfully freaking out those who detest red links. 23:21, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
 * ...Like me, you mean? : )   23:28, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
 * . 23:40, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
 * ...What a horrible person you are.  23:59, 7 September 2008 (EDT)

We don't celebrate that in Reality-Land
01:22, 10 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Bah. Forgive me for being enthusiastic about them flipping the switch on perhaps one of the most significant machines of the decade. 01:49, 10 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Goodbye Galaxy! 01:52, 10 September 2008 (EDT)

*slaps you with glove*
I challenge you to a duel, sir. 01:34, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Well, now, that isn't a very good way to go about making friends.  01:36, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Be quiet, you. I have another glove, you know. 01:40, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I accept the duel and ask the terms..... 01:53, 16 September 2008 (EDT) Also, I open with ....
 * We duel with verbs. 01:55, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I vote we drop the pleasantries and go straight into SUDDEN DEATH MODE.  01:56, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Why? We don't know the rules yet. 01:57, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Why can't we just have a free-for-all? Every editor for themselves!   01:58, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Does not compute. 01:59, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Don't tell me your pooping out on me, Chaos.  02:05, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Jellyfish poop out their mouths. Keep that simple biological headache in mind when you try to compute with grape jellies.  ħ uman  02:31, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

Yikes!
That doesn't sound good. I hope the treatment goes well!  ħ uman  17:34, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I echo this sentiment, on behalf of myself and the whole of the Mowse Kingdom. 17:38, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Sorry to hear that Pinto. My wife was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in the upper arm about five years ago, the tumour was growing in the bone. She had radio, loads of chemo and a titanium prosthesis to replace the bone followed by a stem cell transplant when the cancer recurred. Fortunately the stem cell transplant seemed to do the trick as she's been clear for over three years now. It's a long hard slog and I hope you make it safely through. Modern medicine can do wonders, so I'll refrain from resorting to classroom prayer and just say "all the best". Генгис    18:27, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks all. Like I said in that edit, I start treatment tomorrow, and things are looking hopeful. 19:35, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Don't call me a "thing" ^_^ 19:39, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
 * We're all rooting for you. Beat that cancer to a pulp. ThunderkatzHo! 21:13, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

BEANS!
Don't stick the beans up your nose! How ya doin'?  ħ uman  00:14, 25 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Better, today's the first day I've really had any strength what so ever since friday. That chemo really can take it out of a person. 00:19, 25 September 2008 (EDT)


 * Hey, Pinto, I didn't know about your trouble. Best wishes from a fellow sufferer - mine was cut out but the follow up chemo's been nasty. As a medic you're probably worse off than us lay people - ignorance is, if not bliss, at least not terrifying. Best of luck.


 * (ec) I'm permanently tired - or should I say lacking in energy. In bed for hours & then can't sleep - and I've just been in & out of hospital with a kidney crash.  00:24, 25 September 2008 (EDT)
 * It's nice to have both of you around when we know how your personal energies must be stretched so thin. Hang in there, our goats are with you both!  ħ uman  00:25, 25 September 2008 (EDT)
 * PS, I hope that when it's my turn, someday, I have a bunch of screwballs like you folks to come play with.  ħ uman  00:26, 25 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Strangely enuff, I regard everyone on here as my friends & it is nice playing in our mutual sandpit (is that the right word for the US?) 00:32, 25 September 2008 (EDT)
 * While much of the US is a sandpit, some of it is wheat and corn fields, and some is a bit Valish, even a tiny bit Cym Reagy. Too damn cold in winter, though, and not wet enough ;)  And, yeah, no matter what sparks may be flying, I find it easy to think of all on here as my friends, too.  ħ uman  00:37, 25 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the heads-up Pinto, and my very best wishes to you.  DogP  15:22, 27 September 2008 (EDT)
 * You're most welcome, and thanks. 15:26, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

This guy seems oddly familiar....
It's almost like I've met this guy in RL! Alecwh 02:15, 29 November 2008 (EST)
 * Hey, good call. 23:36, 29 November 2008 (EST)

chest of drawers + rich person - "aristo" + big boat
Thanks, I think. You people are evil, that's all I have to say.

BTW: to whom were you referring in the promotion comment? JazzMan 13:08, 15 December 2008 (EST)


 * An invisible idiot fan? --Kels 13:09, 15 December 2008 (EST)


 * Actually, TeamKiller. I seem to remember him calling you out on being a sysop here. Well he tried very hard to achieve that, and failed miserably. 17:29, 16 December 2008 (EST)

He's back!!
from the hospital. Anyway, welcome back, etc etc Alecwh 01:32, 22 December 2008 (EST)
 * Back from the hospital is good. Hope you're feeling well and are in good spirits. Take good care, man. PFoster 01:37, 22 December 2008 (EST)
 * how's things, Pinto? (interested party) [[Image:Toast s.png|25px]](with cheese) talk to Toast 04:58, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * Eh, I've been alot better, but things are going well, relatively. Had a surgery to remove the tumor (and subsequently my entire left humerus) about three weeks ago, so that mixed with chemo equals blah. 05:35, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * Just getting over first batch of chemo. Confined to bed or stagger to settee - surgery not as radical as yours & now an age ago. All sympathies with you - I think of you often. [[Image:Toast s.png|25px]](with cheese) talk to Toast 05:42, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * Just out of curiosity, and if you don't mind my asking, what type of chemo? Also, despite the odd intricacies of the internet, thank you, that means alot. 05:51, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * After surgery adjuvant chemotherapy (which apparently just means "after surgery") consisting of 2 batches of 3 days in hospital getting: carboplatin and paclitaxel with, possibly, more to come. The benefit of not having to bother about graying. or indeed any, hair is the only compensation. :) [[Image:Toast s.png|25px]](with cheese) talk to Toast 06:07, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * Are you done with chemo after that? If so great. My doctors are following a similar path, only lengthier. Not sure about carboplatin or the other one, but I can tell you that cisplatin is murder. 06:12, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * (Don't think you have the equipment to have ovarian C) There's supposed to be 6 sessions, but by pure chance I had a full physical examination & it was caught very early, so the hope is that it's been entirely got & I might get away with a total of 4. I'm weak as a kitten and have to be careful re: bruising & stuff - occasional vomiting (sorry!) & diarrhoea (sory again!). Also very short tempered, but that's just me. :) [[Image:Toast s.png|25px]](with cheese) talk to Toast 06:20, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * And you're correct, I don't. Also, I'm envious, I was sentenced to 20 sessions. 06:28, 12 January 2009 (EST)


 * no - just don't like the "C" word You poor sod! If it's anything like mine, a cannula in the back of the hand followed by injection of liquid fire for three hours. They tell me to keep my strength up by eating well, but food tastes rather bland & hard things (like toast :)) can be painful. For about a week after chemo I have to avoid hard food so I'm on some stuff called Complan which is rather like tasteless & very thick milk shake. I used to love my food! Joints ache a bit too. otherwise no worries. [[Image:Toast s.png|25px]](with cheese) talk to Toast  06:37, 12 January 2009 (EST)


 * Cripes Pinto, I must have missed your withdrawal for med reasons. My missus had mulitiple myeloma and the bone out of most of her upper left arm. I hope you're recuperating OK. It's five years now since she was diagnosed and she's doing well after having had radio, chemo and a stem-cell transplant (for a while she used to stink of sweetcorn, evidently a side effect of the stuff they keep the stem cells in). Hope you make a speedy recovery. BTW my wife's hair grew back with much less grey. Генгис    08:51, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Fuckin' funny?
NOT! I lost a large amount of edits thank to your childish pranks. Генгис   05:43, 13 February 2009 (EST)
 * My deepest and most sincere apologies, I had missed you most recent edit, and therefore assumed, incorrectly, that you were not actively editing. Had I known you were, I wouldn't have made the block. Sorry for any edits you lost.  12:51, 13 February 2009 (EST)

How's it going?
23:55, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Pretty good really. I'm down to my last treatment, and then I'm done with chemo and only have physical therapy left to go through. How have you been lately? 00:04, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Good to hear - it's a bugger that chemo. Of course, I hadn't thought, you'll need some physio - hard work. I'm pretty good, thanks. Clapping weight on - hit (quickly converts)101 pounds t'other day - doesn't sound much but @ 5'1" it's quite heavy. Totally done (knocks woods & crosses fingers) with chemo due to adverse reaction. Means more frequent check ups to keep tabs on it & they could put a permanent tap in for the blood sampling. Hair coming back fast - itchy. Oh and taste is returning has returned - totally vanished on chemo. Still on loads of medication, of course but nothing too arduous. Being a) chronic invalid (!) & b) over 65; I get the medication free - apparently I'm costing the NHS about £350/week but the chemo was about £1,000/session. All the best, buddy. 00:40, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Toast, did you convert from stone or kg? Aside: I had for many years a bathroom scale inherited from my parents, which of course was marked in stone.  So hapless female visitors would have to ask me "what is seven plus three small lines?", utterly destroying their privacy.  Anyway, I hope you both get fully better and such. Goatspeed!  02:56, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 46kg - about 7st 3lb. (don't think anyone here uses stones/lb here any more although I remember the "7 stone weakling" Charles Atlas Ads) My target was 45kg (99.208lb), so I'm officially overweight![[image:Nods.gif]] 21:56, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey beans...

 * Very well, your good self? Acei9 07:54, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Ditto all the above! How's the vine growing? 05:55, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

 * That's great, and it's always fun when "old timers" stop by. I bean hanging in there, hoping this damn recession will end soon!  06:38, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Come visit!
The wiki's been a bit of a mess lately, and I was hoping to get some friendly faces to come by and say hi and maybe give the wiki some love for a while. If you get this and have some time and are inclined, say hi ot edit something! Thanks, bean guy. steriletalk 01:41, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
