She's nice, but young. Her houses all have scripts for stuff, and none of the scripted items were working. So I posted a while back that I was having trouble, and she did the usual - well they work fine for me. *shrug* So I just went on with whatever. (No, this isn't Cynn....) Couple days ago I get a pm from her. Someone else has the same issues I did.... so she finally downloaded her own file for the latest house - and of course, discovered there's no scripts in the zip. She asked me to see if I could help her out. Which I did. The scripts of course were on her machine, so they worked just fine, but for whatever reason they weren't winding up in the zip. AND she didn't have them in a scripts folder, with the source files in a source folder inside the scripts folder. She was telling people where to move the script files, instead of making sure her data folder was set up so NMM or manual install was "normal". So I told her how to go about fixing all that. She was very grateful, but now.... I think I'm not going to be able to get rid of her. Seriously.... she wants to "get to know me better".... *sigh* Well, maybe she'll kind of forget all about it over the holidays? I mean.... she's only a couple years older than my older g'daughter.... Just don't have much in common there.... |

Yeah. And I just hope she'll be so busy with real life she'll forget all about me.... |

Well, depends on how you want to deal the hand Sere. One you could be forthright and say how you feel (I never recommend this anymore as skins are so thin these days). Another is to "play dumb" on any future questions and no longer be seen as a guru by the young lass and perhaps she will naturally gravitate to someone else. I fully understand, since I'm of the helper nature myself and don't mind a one time here you go fix for someone, but one would prefer to offer help and not be tapped at every turn for information/help. Always a tangled web no matter how one approaches it. :ermm: |

Yep. That's about how I was seeing it. I can probably just ignore her for a while.... I don't use the same name on nexus as I do anywhere else - it's a one-off. So she can't probably "hunt me down". I hope. |

Which avatar do you use? Cause your girl's are distinctive. You have a face structure that you like and it show's over and over ... we all kinda do the same... Unless she really want's to run ya down.. it's not much to go on, but I saw a couple of your post's before I "knew" it was you and I was pretty sure... syntax plus the girls. I have no advice either... cause I just ignore.. being rude or "mean" could get you banned from Nexus.. cause they pretty much have thin skins. |

On nexus, I use a long-past wood elf. And it's the only place I ever used her. Or the name. Thankfully. Yep - those of you who know me well can figure out that I'm Jaelli on nexus. But I think she won't get it. Now, your comment about syntax.... good lord, do I "mark" because of the way I write?? |

certain phrases... but really it would take someone really looking and reading a LOT of post's to figure it out.. unless they are very observant. But I read many more thread's that I post in. Style... we all have one. Mine are the .... it's a mental pause or supposed to be. |

Oh, well.... I'm the poster child for overusing ellipses. Because - that's how my mind works..... |

Not gonna lie, I expected something a little more heated. My reaction in this situation would be to just let her forget you exist. If it persists, then yeah, let her down gently. I realize the Nexus tends to be a little...nutty (again, my initial expectations) but hopefully she'll understand. |

Oh, I wouldn't get "heated" about a mod author really. I mean, I LOVE mods, and someone has to make them! I just don't like maybe winding up in a position where I have to hurt someone's feelings.... |

Ha! Sere, you definitely have a "signature" that stands out in most of what you write, not the stories really, but the convo style. I have even stolen your poignant "I have Zero use for X" phrasing....(I also stole Neil's "eh" sentence finisher). |

Well.... gosh! Thanks, Rick (I think....) - and I certainly don't mind you stealing that! Hell, I stole it from a woman I worked with back in about 1971.... Her name was Phillipa, she was much older than I was, but we just hit it off instantly. I was using "Eh" to start commentary probably as long as 40 years ago.... Stole THAT from a Canadian friend....

Ya, I have heard that "eh" is an identifier of Canadian vocab......not that I have experience of such things directly of course...being confined to rural England and the southern shires as I am. Next time your 'friend' wants some troubleshooting, just say "I'd love to help you but I am afraid that is a little too out of my depth" |

Yeah, I'll probably come up with something like that.... I wouldn't call her a friend - acquaintance through nexus and her house mods, more like.... |

Ya know they talk like that in Wisconsin to Eh? I had to ask a waitress at a TS if she was from North of the Border... I think I offended her... we left a really good tip. |

Well, they're certainly right next door. Might be a lot of visiting across the border, or marrying etc. back when, who knows? |
