UM, I wonder if this will work? Entering the world of multiple quotes is scary! :H
JWP, when I go to a party, I go LATER rather than early. AND I take my own caffeine free diet coke. Its quirky enough to justify ( I dont want the caffeine). Why do I go later? When you are among the first to arrive, its awkward and YOU get a lot of attention from the host...in the form of DRINK! EAT! People come in and start greeting YOU and there is a lot of chit chat and your drink can become a topic (if you are NOT drinking). If you go later, there is less emphasis on you. People dont really know how long you've been there so you can say you already had something and switched to water. By going later, the others are already underway with their buzzes and it will be easier to talk to them. In fact you will quickly see how much louder and slurry many are already! Eat before you go, even if you know there will be food. And we usually leave early. It isnt necessary to be the last to to leave anymore. After about 9:30, you wont be missing much! This is my experience and so far, so good.
Sarah, I will never stop believing in you!

if you are quoting multiple post then just cut and paste each quote you want to highlight as above. Hope I helped you some.

Although the day isn't quite over, I know I won't drink between now and bed because I've got kids in my house having a sleep over (and I don't keep alcohol in the house) so I couldn't run to the store if I wanted to.
Tomorrow will be the difficult one because I'm going to a party tomorrow night. My plan is to go on the early side, stay for only 1-2 hours, drink water while I'm there and then leave. In a way, I don't even want to go, but I kind of have to (social obligations). So, fingers crossed?

1. As you're reading posts, you can select which ones to quote by clicking on the little quotation mark button at the bottom right of the post (you have to be signed in to see this option). It's just to the right of the button with the word "quote" on it, and it changes color when you select it.
2. You can select as many posts as you like (as far as I know).
3. If you change your mind about quoting one, go back and click that quote mark button again and it will turn off for that post.
4. When you're done selecting posts to quote, hit the "Post Reply" button at the top or bottom left of a page of posts.
5. That will bring you to the window where you can write your post, choose smilies, etc. You'll see each quoted post already in the text box, listed in the same order that you selected them (not necessarily the order they were written/posted).
6. Before you post, highlight and copy all text in case you lose the message - it would be a LOT to re-create!
7. Submit reply, like usual.
Hope that helps!
