I don't remember seeing that user before. Looks like they hang out in Distributed Computing eh?
What makes you think it's rabrittain?

That's what I thought when I saw the envelope, but it certainly wasn't.

There's a lot of stuff to do, but I don't really get out much so I wouldn't be a good person to ask.

Add one phone call to the list.
A non to anonymous tip as to the possible identity of "Ace". The investigation is under way 😉

I would if the letter had a return address.

The forum member's IP they used to post on AT matches the origin of the letter according to the post office's ink stamp.
Oh, and letter #2 arrived today.

Response to letter #1
Ace
I certainly did not expect this kind of response when I posted my thread, but I guess I was asking for it. It has certainly met my requirement of entertaining me. As of late I certainly haven?t been bored though, so I have not taken the time to write a response back until now. This week I have been teaching 7th graders topics on adaptations in science and an introduction to variables and patterns in math. It has been a busy week getting all that ready in addition to 19 hours of working at the office. I?m glad the week is over.
I?m sorry that you hate the world so much. Every day at school I?m reminded how tough life can be. I?ve taught students that were homeless, see students move to live with relatives or friends when their parents have ended up in jail, and worked with students that see no point in education and try to get away with everything they can in the classroom to entertain themselves or others. I hope that I can be a positive influence in some of their lives, but it?s very tough to relate with many of these students in order to try to figure out what strategies might help them. I?m very new at this, so I don?t have a lot of experience to fall back upon.
Good luck with your plan to become a psychiatrist and own your own business. I hope you come back to ATOT after you?ve achieved that to help figure out what?s wrong with many of the posters here and guide them towards help 😉
So nobody has asked you about your ambitions? I think you just told me, but I?ll go ahead and ask you to tell me more about them. What kind of business do you want to start? I hope it?s not a computer building business that gets mentioned every couple months on ATOT 😉
I loved someone once also. I am the bitter one in my case though. It helped a lot to just let it go and move on. I also wrote to this person for a while but stopped that and try not to think about her anymore. I spend over four years with this person and I made life changing decisions that were aligned with spending my life with her. Since then, I really hate thinking about the future and what my plans are. I know I would be in a very different position right now had I not had that relationship. She may be reading this right now as well, but I don?t care anymore.
I?m glad you have found love for something (psychology). I also think the human mind is fascinating. I certainly don?t have the psychology background that you do, but I have taken many classes on human development that have gone over several theories of how the brain works including the ?information processing? model. That model probably appeals to me with my background in computer systems.
I am not sure about God either. I was brought up Roman Catholic by my parents (my Mom?s sisters are both nuns). As I grew older and found out about the atrocities committed by the church in the past and the conduct of religious personnel in the present, my indifference towards the church turned into mistrust and concern. There are a lot of wonderful people who do wonderful things in the name of God, but there are too many people that use religion to be completely awful to each other. I guess I would be an agnostic regarding God itself, but I have little ?faith? in organized religion.
Thank you for your letter. Indeed, feel free to write me again some time in the future. I think I know who you are (at least your AT name), but I will choose not to reveal my suspicion since you seem to have taken steps to keep your identity secret.

Response to letter #2
Hi Lori AKA SmoochyTX! (I?ll go ahead and assume it?s really you that sent this since the city of origin matches the profile information and all)
So am I imagining it, or did you put some perfume on this letter? If not, paper sure does smell better in Houston. I remember the last time I took a trip to Denver when I came back to Milwaukee I realized that Wisconsin smells like crap. I guess it?s just like that effect where you can?t tell what the room you?re in smells like until you leave it for a while and come back.
No, I don?t mind that you sent me a letter. It?s nice to sit here, relax, and write something on an adult level after spending all day dealing with 7th graders 😉
The only freaky person from ATOT I see in any regularity is HomeBrewerDude? probably the best boss ever. I sure am glad it?s Friday though and I can sleep in tomorrow and not worry about school or work. It?s getting pretty cold up here. Unfortunately my radiators are too hot even when the valves are turned off as tight as I can make them. I had to crack a couple windows in the apartment to get the temperature right. Things have certainly improved with the radiators though since they were broken just a short while ago. 58 degrees was a little chilly in my apartment. I?m usually a pretty warm guy, so having to take a blanket out was a sure sign that something was wrong.
I too think that the handwriting is from a girl. I doubt it?s a crush though but rather just an anonymous place to vent some stuff with the added bonus of possible entertainment for others. It?s funny you say crush though, since I was told just today that between 1-3 girls probably have a crush on me. Lucky for them I?m not uhohs since they?re some of my students 😛 I was certainly confused when I heard it though since they act so awful in class? but I guess that might be to get my attention?
My favorite tree is the Sugar Maple. As ?browser? at the zoo, I spent many summer mornings driving my golf cart around looking for a good Sugar Maple to trim so I could feed the branches to the various animals (elk, caribou, camels, elephants, giraffes, etc.). On a dare from ?Crazy Joe?, I tried one of the leaves and found out that it tastes like broccoli. I?ve eaten quite a few maple leaves since then, which I will do whenever I get the urge. Of course there?s the bitter after taste, but sometime you?ve just got to eat a leaf, right?
I can relate to your frustration on TV scheduling, but I haven?t had to worry about that in quite a while. I don?t even have a tuner attached to my projector at all, so I just use it to watch movies that I get from Netflix. Unfortunately I haven?t even turned my projector all week due to how busy I?ve been. I think I?ve spent more time this week researching a new projector and power conditioner / UPS to protect it than I have spent watching my current one over the last 3 weeks. Kind of sad?
I could use a vacation too. I get an urge to go on one every once in a while but that usually fades within a couple days. I don?t tend to have a very long attention span for interests in general. My decision to wait a while before making purchasing decisions on hobbies and trips has saved me thousands of dollars over the years? but leaves me with the conclusion that I?m a pretty boring person.
If a fuzzy snuggle bunny might help, then go for it.

since before I can remember? literally? and he?s still keeping me company from time to time. Your letter certainly smells better than he does.
Have a good night / day / whatever? depending on when you read this.
I?d have sent a letter back, but I guess you?re too smart to put your address up on ATOT 😉
