I'll bet it was a misplaced hug since they're right next to each other.
I've done that before and would have been mortified if I had accidentally left it there!
Misclick. Sorry about that, dumb phone. Usually I end up clicking the explain rating.
No worries, I've done it too on my phone. End up grumbling and undoing the rating and fumbling to get it right.
You'll be fine, buddeh.

HR lady comes to me and asks me for help logging into (not real name) the "Bobrachel" computer.
"What the hell is the bobrachel computer?" I ask.
"I dunno, just (owner's pet accountant) told me the files I needed were on the bobrachel computer."
"Wait.. do you mean Bob's old computer?" (Bob was our HR/accountant guy years ago before he got West Nile).
"I don't know, maybe?"
Following a hunch that is accompanied by a sinking feeling, I attempt to remote into Bob's old machine.
I enter USERNAME: Bob PASSWORD: Rachel
And I'm in.
While I twist the life out of a stressball, I emphatically ask them all to please not refer to computers, especially computers that are enabled for remote and offsite access, by a nickname comprised of their USERNAME AND PASSWORD.

I was to consternated to come up with meta references. I mean, really. This machine is crucial to our A/R, and able to be remotely accessed from offsite via the plain old internet (on a nonstandard port, granted). And they're just bandying about its username and password. I need to go lie down.
What are you going to do about the Schilling absence? Got any alternate filler?

That would be ESPN's concern, not the station's. Unless they made the decision to drop the show locally, they'd air the show ESPN sends with the replacement host. At least that's how I think it works.

ESPN hasn't actually firmed up their fall lineup, they're still trying to figure out what to do with Colin's old slot. Meantime, we're just gonna air whatever they air after Mike and Mike, until Cowherd's Fox Sports show comes on. Then air that until it's time for Paul Finebaum.

That'd almost be less work, actually.
I posted on a local photography board about where I could go locally to see stars. I got some helpful suggestions, one dude said there was nowhere good locally and one dude suggested I lay on my back and get someone on top of me and said I was pretty. What the hell?

You had to go and admit you were female, weren't you. Your own fault, bimbo.
[This is intended as a joke and not in earnest. I do not condone on line jerk behaviour towards women, nor any form of sexism]
If that guy claims there's no good place to see stars near where you're at, I really wonder where he thinks you"ve got a good view of stars? Top of Mount Everest?
I don't mind the one guy sayng there are no good spots. Maybe he doesn't know of any. Or possibly he feels any good ones are too far away to be reasonable. It was the other post by another guy that I have an issue with.
Also, its a local photography group. I've shared my work and they know who I am.

Well, yes, obviously. Which is why I dismissed him in the first lines. The type of guy to sexualize any random thing said by a woman or to make sexual(ly) aggressive/suggestive comments towards women really needs to learn it's not ok and die out.
(Yes, I've made sexually suggestive comments towards female commenters here in the past. They are meant in jest, and usually clearly so. Some have indicated they didn't appreciate them, and I stopped making them (almost) completely towards those. Some indicated they were fine with them. I don't claim innocence, which is why I don't throw stones. But there's a big difference between "trying to joke with friends, and occasionally missing the mark" and "being a pig towards acquaintances")

That's fucked up and uncalled for.
Totally!
Well, that's the short of it, but what fun is being concise and to the point? That's not what a forum is for!
I've been more sexually suggestive to a rainbow kitten than towards a non-surfer
Another guy sent a private message asking if I wanted to go to his place to use his telescope and meet new people. I'm deleting the thread and possibly leaving the group. Who are these freaks?
OTOH, don't misinterpet. I haven't seen the PM, of course, but it is possible for a guy to just invite someone over for stargazing in his garden if he thinks the view's great there.
I've invited people over to watch movies together before, without meaning "...and end it in bed with me" to be appended by the other party. If you make it clear you're married and have no interest in anything but stars and looking at the stars, or if you ask to bring your husband along, and he's fine with it, why not? Could be fun to meet someone with a shared interest.

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but that one dude is a pig.
No doubt. The second one's probably no better, I'll admit, and I might recommend not going over all alone in the middle of the night, I'm only saying we're trained these days to see predators everywhere, and it isn't always justified. Not every guy asking a girl over for netflix wants to do anything but bingewatch 
(that owl on your porch, however, would definitely like the chance to have chicks. You're probably not the best choice for a partner in that respect.)

Sigh. They're goes my chance of ever helping @Squidleybits see stars. And I was just going to sit on top of her so she could balance the camera on my head in case her tripod broke
