POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

I've never seen a thread this long anywhere..pretty cool

quote:

And I didn't comment on parts of that other post lest we get our ratings changed.

?????

And I almost got lost again. Ya'll gotta tell me when it's a new page! Darn!

Well guys, I am beat gonna hit the hay (what a goofy saying, how could 'hit the hay' be 'going to sleep')

See you all tomorrow

Oh Taz, that's just about melting th' snow... or sumthin' like that.

Notice I don't say y'all....Yankee thru and thru HA
G'night!

G'night Miss M. I've wondered that myself. Sweet dreams.

Ya'll (I think I spell it wrong) - Southern thru 'n' thru heheh

Good night Miss M thanks for the Tide Funny and we are now over 900 posts and 7,000 hits officially!
I am going to be going shortly also. 8 minutes until the new retail killer Miss S

Miss M "Hit the Hay" Cowboys used to bed down in hay piles in the old days when doing travelling ranch work

I'm there Taz. I finally listened to the Tide thing. LOL eeewwwwwwww

I can't listen to anything on youtube and dunno why. Any ideas since you're smart about all that stuff?

DUH...of course, thx Taz.

If I wasn't so tired I would have known that

Probably some sort of a media plug-in you are missing. You Tube is a .flv file I believe?

Yes, I think so. I've tried finding the missing plugin and don't know what it could be. I'll look some more.

OK I did not need the photo paper but I bought it anyway! It was a good price

Me too Taz. lol Hard to pass up at that price. I need another photo album like I need a hole in th' head too. Are ya off to catch some zzzzz's now?

edit... sold out already

Yeah all the fun is over. Good night. PS remind me about the plug in for you tube and I will see if I can figure it out. Tell Miss M to give you my email Addy if you want and send me a email and remind me.

Ok. Thanks again Taz. Sweet dreams. Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite. And if they do, take your shoe, and beat 'em till they're black and blue.

edit... I guess I got it Taz. It's working now on the headset.
Woohoo! I love, love love this song and video.
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

Good mornin', afternoon, evenin', night.

How's everyone? Are we gonna make it to 1000 posts?

Howdy, a'noon pardner !

Judging by the 90 something e-mails I received regarding updates to this thread since late last night (UK time), you Taz and Ms M should achieve that easily during the next 12 hours !

Heyyyy Choo..

Are you saying we're big-mouths??? US???

Let me guess...16:30 there?? (roughly)

Well Howdy Pardner! And Choo, you oughta include yourself in there too now. I'd be askeered to watch this thread.

Howdy Miss M.
My guess is 15:30, roughly.
edit/edit - Ain't we tho'! LOL

Morning Miss S,

Choo would make a good Southerner wouldn't he

Yes Ma'am. He surely would.

Hello, looks like it's going to be all out verbalistic warfare tonight so more likey twice last nights number if all of us are around.

What can we do to improve on the freezer-rats saga, that's going to take some beating

The time is about 16:40 here as I press reply.

OH! MY 1000 posts! only 76 to go! No problem at all! However I must take a pass on todays shenanigans. I start working second shift today and my 2weeks of being off work are done! I did quit the second job a few weeks ago.

Miss S glad you got the YouTube thing figured out

Are the freezer-rats still around? Bless your heart Miss M.

I found these... so true. lol
Let us know how ya fair with 'em Choo.

A true Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."

A true Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is - as in "Going to town, be back directly."

True Southerners know instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. (If the trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin'.)

True Southerners make friends standing in lines. We don't do "queues," we do "lines." And when we're in line, we talk to everybody.

When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin", you know you're in the presence of a genuine Southerner.

And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 on the freeway - you just say, "Bless her heart" and go your way.

edit... Hi Taz.

Well Taz, at least you & I can still post at the same time...now we have the same work hours too

quote:

you just say, "Bless her heart" and go your way.

Are you calling me a little old lady?????

LOL No Ma'am. Bless your heart is good for young and old alike... just any and ever'body that needs it.

I'd say rats in the freezer definitely deserves a Bless your heart, Miss M!

I'm gonna leave it to you sweet folks awhile. I'm fixin' to go get some work done. I shall return directly.

If they thaw out in the post then I won't need to worry, I think customs will smell a rat and send them back, ha ha,

Good one Choo.
Well I am off to do some things before work so will talk to Y'all later

He was actually going to mail them at first...and didn't see anything wrong with that (typical guy, no offense )

After I talked him out of it they wound up in the freezer, unbeknownst to me. UGH!!

Be back by later~~~~

"If they thaw out in the post then I won't need to worry, I think customs will smell a rat and send them back, ha ha, "

Choo you are so funny

Why would he mail them Miss M?

Sure is quiet around these here parts this evenin'...

Hey girl,,,back for a minute, now WE have ESP too

We have such a rat problem here and the city ignores it. (It's all in another post, who knows where)

So he was gonna mail them to the alderman.....but I know he'll never get around to it

They're probably gonna be in my freezer til summer..

Anybody here???

We're not gonna let this thread die because New Years is over are we??

HuuuuuuuLLLooooo! What is this thread dying CRAP? The Auctiva Asylum shall thrive and prosper till WE the OVERLORDS say FINI!
Tis not over yet!

HMMM??? Well if today is any indication we may reach that by Groundhog Day! (February 2nd for our friends across the pond!)

Hey where's my morning read gone ?

The trials and tribulations of those mentally mutated due to exposure to the fifth horseman of the apocalypse the most feared, whose name I dare only to spell out for fear of eternal intenet damnation called, (fearful hushed silence) e-b-a, no I dare not complete it

Help, mumeeeeeee !!!!!

Ms M, you mean they are still in there, what happens this summer are they taken out and given a decent burial, a BBQ or will you be singing happy deathday and put them back in the freezer, boy I can feel the grim reaper breathing down my neck on this one

Wow, nobody here again???

Hi Choo, when you were posting that was a little too late for me to still be up

Taz posted about 5 minutes after I logged off.

Haven't seen Pete in God only knows how long...

Ninth is MIA (again)

Miss S is still here once in awhile

Hey folks, I actually have an Auctiva question..

I have hundreds of closed auctions that I have not deleted because I usually end up using them again as 'sell similar' (easier than taking the pics over again). I see lately, when I do a search for one from last summer for example, it won't come up...it says 'not found'. And I look EVERYWHERE, saved listings, closed listings etc.

I searched for 'harley white' (I have the word white in the title) to see all the white shirts I had, it USED to show them all but now it doesn't.

Like with the templates sometimes, it seems you have to know the exact name of the title or it will not come up anymore.

Does it just do this when the listings get older? It's gonna be a real pain in the spring if I have to look page by page...I must be doing something wrong, but the fact that it worked before and not now makes me wonder if Auctiva changed something I'm missing????

Who dares to taint this thread with a real question I would report this as an off topic divergence if I could still remember what it was supposed to be about.

On the other hand, hi, thought everyone had scarpered since yesterday

edit - ok, I would not rely on it all still being on someone elses server from one year to the next so I keep all my originals backed up on my PC and associated machinery.

Can we get back to the usual free-for-all now

Well look who's still here

Yes, I dared to ask a real question (sorry, slinking away now...) With all the views we're getting, someone is bound to know the answer

Wonder where everyone else is? I'll miss whatever comes up later, going to work in a little while

Miss M you have violated the sanctity of this post with a question that actually pertains to something serious! For that scofflaw the tribunal hereby sentences you to 30 lashes with a wet noodle and a FREEZER full of FROZEN rats!

Seriously I do not know the answer to that question. Do you have everything arranged in folders?If so possibly time to go through and create some more folders that are more item specific.
I really have never encountered this problem so I am sorry I cannot be more helpful

EDIT: Hi Choo glad to see you are not he only one THROWN by a REAL question

PS...all the listings are still there, they just won't come up in a search anymore. Only if I go page by page can I find them.

Hi Taz!

Just getting up, right? Dontcha just love 2nd shift???

Been up for a little bit but just getting around to the puter!
HATE 2nd shift HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE I say!

Do you realise this rambling thread has far more views than get rich big crumbs thread, looks like people are just not here to get rich (daft perishers )

edit - pardon Steve didn't quite catch that !

OMG I love it SO much!!! I'm such a night person, this is perfect for me. I get to stay up late when I get home and then get to have the whole morning to myself.

Sorry to hear you hate it

Mr Choo,

I think this thread probably has the most views of any thread ever

Actually may be just the job as I have worked second a good bit before and never felt this way!
If I got changed to first shift it would be the same for that too probably. Maybe hate my job was more apropos?

Well all I have to run to the store and purchase some new foot gear for work as mine are too ugly to look at anymore. Steel Toe shoes in a pretzel factory? WHAT THE F*** are they worried I will drop a bag of pretzels on my toe? Or God forbid a whole box!

Hey, LOVE pretzels---send some over my way

Yeah it's the job Taz, I'd love mine no matter what shift. I'm just very grateful to have gotten the shift I wanted.

Try to have a good one today...I'm leaving too, pretty soon...

Or, perhaps it is just that you were away from this thread for too long so any extra shift may cause the same effect.

This is probably more addictive than incinerating old leaves in the most expensive way possible to achieve an early retirement from life.

Question or topic diversion as Ms M seems to have avoided my question about singing Happy Death Day to her frozen rats.

Is it true that organic cigarettes are made from camel dung ?

Camel dung Choo? Where'd ya hear that one??

Yes the rats will hear the Happy Death Day song VERY soon

And again I say EWWWWW.....

Seems kind of logical, organic usually refers to grown without artificial fertilisers etc, so why not skip the plant bit, powder the dung roll in in a piece of loo roll or newspaper and smoke it.

Strikes me a lot of people are already doing that judging by the foul smell from thier death sticks that waft my way.

Besides in some countries with very few resources I believe dung can be mixed with mud for building material so why not smoke it too ?

Edit - phew what are releif I thought you were saving them for a BBQ for unwelcome guest gannets.

Edit 2 - my post count is sometimes rising with replies to this thread rather than with each new thread I reply to or create. have we broken the forum software I wonder ?

Could be right Choo as I just got out of the shower and could not resist refreshing the thread!
Miss M I too LOVED pretzels but now they repulse me!
Hey I just happened to think! Is it possible that my TWISTED personality has something to do with my job?

Actually Choo, I was going to innocently ask for your address and dump them off on you

Wonder how big a fine I'd get for a stunt like that

I get it Taz...Look at me, my main supply at work is NEEDLES! What does that say about me ??

What? You work in a Christmas Tree factory ??!
No wonder you are always throwing barbs at everyone!
Really am leaving this time guys.
Have a good one!

Hi Ms M how dumb do you think I am, hmmm, perhaps I shouldn't ask

And Steve is this twisted personality better or worse than it appears on here

Mee too...leaving that is

Everybody have a good day and keep posting!!

CHOO--I think he is MORE twisted than on here...uh-oh, he's really gonna get me now
Kidding Steve (fingers crossed behind my back)

I get it Ms M plays darts all day for living !

edit - post count is rising we have broken their software

I wish Choo...that would be fun!

See, you'al later if I'm still up, nearly 18:00 here, have a good day.

Howdy ya'll.
I'm glad this thread's gonna keep going.

Miss M, I never answered that I do smoke. I roll my own, but not with camel dung. yuuukkk! The public place smoking ban has been around here for somewhere around 10 years. That's about when it came to include pretty much everywhere. You can still smoke in bars, far as I know... I haven't been out partyin' in so long, I don't even remember when was the last time. lol Time to head to Magoos!!! Still have those $$ for beers!

Okay, since we've ventured there... lol
I have a really OT question. I'd appreciate you guys' opinions please? I found a maybe WooHoo! while shopping with the girls. A NOS pair of Fryes, 70's knee high stacked heels. Darn, I wish they fit me! They were stored very crappily and I've been cleaning 'em. There was a big black place that I got off with saddlesoap, and a few water spots that look pretty good now. Overall, they look great but are now darker in places. They really have a beautiful patina, though it's not quite blending the way I'd like. The color stated is taupe (which they weren't IMO anyway). One has the leather going inside for lining at 2 1/4" and the other goes to 4 1/4", then it's fabric below. One has a tannish heel tip and the other is black.

Questions: Should I go ahead and make them darker all over and what would I use to do that? I'm not sure I can get them to blend any better with mink oil or something else, though I love working on leather stuff and don't mind the time. And should I have one of the tips changed to match or leave them as is? There used to be a boot shop nearby but he's gone now. I don't even know where to go now, so thought about leaving 'em. What do ya think?

I bet this is gonna be forever long when it posts.

Hi, have to pass on this one, no sense of fashion or leather goods.

My there is an 8 hour difference between you and me no wonder we are not online at the same time often. Only the email copy of your post shows the time in your time zone.

When I view the post on line at Auctiva I only see the UK time.

Hi Choo.
I didn't realize it's 8 hours, thought it was 5 or 6. I think it's 5 for Sexy St Pete and six for you. The time stamp I see is two hours behind my time.

That's okay on the boots. lol Just anyone that has an opinion and suggestions.

I saw your other thread, and of course had to reply. I hadn't seen it before or would've been there sooner.

Well you will have such a wide country, the 5 hour difference is nominally from London to east coast USA, so presumeably (whirring of brain gears, click, crunch) you are 3 hours behind the east coast near the east edge of Texas. (how's my geography?)

I get so confused by the time zones. I used to have a site saved that had world clocks on it. I'm looking for it now.

It's not quite 3:30p.m. here now. Same as Miss M, that much I know. lol

Now I am mystified your post saying 3:30pm there was labelled as 9:26pm here, so you are right 6 hours difference.

I see got my 24 hour clock to 12 hour clock conversion screwed up with the timezone, I'm going ga ga with this too

edit - can't spell either

I found it. It's timeanddate.com but I haven't figured out how to just show all. You have to add what you want.

I can't even keep the different US timezones straight.

Must be time for the US contingent to be home by now, where are you all tonight, just about midnight here in the UK and hardly a murmer

Looks like we're the only ones around. Miss M and Taz have a few hours to go yet on their evening shifts.
Ninth is still MIA
I was surprised to see you still up 'n' at'em. We posted at the same time on that other thread. lol I'd put I don't quite understand and changed it.

Well I always used to be up beyond midnight when I was single but then you get other reasons for having an early night

At the moment my considerably better half is clicking away on her laptop so here I am, bit of work bit of play

I added a comment on that too, scarey coincidence

edit - aah, clicking stopped, time for bed I hope my mailbox is full of interesting nonsense tomorrow morning, ninth better turn up soon for the approaching 1,000th reply

Sweet dreams Choo. Yeh, scary! lol Now I gotta go see where we are.

Ohhh Niiiinth, where're you hiiiiding? I've got cooookiiies.

Hi folks - Sorry to be so MIA lately. I've just been out and about trying to get ready for the 'record breaking, monster' storm that's starting to crunch down on us. They're calling for winds of 150mph up in the passes, with 5-7ft of snow, and 60 to 80mph here in Reno. Everybody's stocking up on food, gas, and other supplies just in case, because we get supplied by trucks coming over the Sierras which will definitely stop for several days. I know, compared to ChiTown and PA it's no big deal right? Hummm...

Miss S, those cooookiiies are just tooooo teemptiiing!! (I'm starting to droool! Where's my towel?!)

Hi Ninth!
I'm so happy to see ya here and I've missed you! (ya'll don't read that. lol)

I should watch the weather more often... I had no idea. So you're all stocked up, battened down the hatches and are all snuggled in warm?

edit... deleted some lest I scare ya again Ninth.
Taz, my sound isn't working again. I dunno what's going on with it cause the stereo tests give me both sides and sound great. Think I'll ask Miss M for your email after all and will appreciate your help if you don't mind.

Hi Shirley Girl, I've missed you too, I mean what good is a fly without a sly, shiny spider to trick him? Deleted too late, I already saw that unguarded comment, 2nd thoughts not allowed. ANY kind of cookies? Damn, you sure know how to turn up the heat - I need to open the door and let some cool air in here. Yup, all battened down and snuggled in, well not quite, all I really need is a supply of home-made Texas cookies (personally delivered of course, Mmmmm... (ya'll don't read that GAR stuff. )

Personally delivered... the ONLY way to have home-made Texas cookies. mmmm-mm good!

What blizzard? I'm lost in cookie heaven! (Oh, if daydreams are this good...what if...Dang, who turned up that heat again?)

Yeh. Warm cookie heaven...

Such a skilled spider to weave a web such as this - my vision is starting to blur and my head is starting to spin. Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!

Is it such an intricate li'l web? Stop spinning, clear your vision, and I'll help you up!

Do I have to seperate you two AGAIN???

Gonna have to turn the hose on ya for sure.....

I still like the idea of group rates for GAR...we'll all party til we pass out

quote:

I sooo agree... what fun!!!

Hi Miss M.

Group rates indeed, how kinky is that!? Oh my, my little heart is starting to flutter.

Hi Miss S

(I sent ya a couple emails)

Ninth likes kinky, hee hee!!

We can put all that leather you ladies like to wear to good use.

I got 'em. I didn't open the fairy one yet and am going back now. It's funny cause I'm taking a firefly-path fairy quiz from my daughter right now, then you sent that.

Dontcha just love the smell of leather!

The aroma of leather and warm cookies wafting through the air. It's enough to drive a man into a...what's the word? Delirium?

OMG Ninth... you're not alone. yummm! That sounds Delicious!!

Um,,Ninth????

I think you've been in a delirium since page one

Oh come on, you knew someone was gonna say it

Miss M, my ribs hurt! Not the same kind of fairy. I've done two this evening, and it's almost scary how close those things are. lol

Here's the link. You should do it.
http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=1328

I'm a Raven Fairy. hmmm
You are the fallen angel of fairies. You look at evil not as a terrible thing, but a necessity for spiritual balance in this world. You are very confident about who you are, and you tend to be rebellious.

Sorry... now back to Ninth's state of Delirium. I like that much better!

Miss S...

WHAT the ??? kind of quiz is that...LOL!!! Maybe I'll do it later, not usually a fan of those things, but thanks anyway

Yes, definitely back to Ninth's delirium...see what you've done to the poor guy?? He can't even see straight anymore. And now that you have cookies & leather...well that's just not fair.....

As far as Ninth's state of delirium, let me let on that this only occurs in the presence of you two high voltage very-female dynamos. You, Miss M and Miss S, have got the male portion of this Asylum twirled around your delicate little fingers. (but then being no dummies, I bet you knew that already)

I know. I don't usually like 'em either. lol

Not fair? How so, when he's got me so I can't even spin a proper web any more?
Ninth, methinks the pretty fly has many, many spider traits!

Whoa, Ninth..

Laying it on kind of thick...but that's ok, we love it, right Miss S????

I wanted to post a pic of my snow fairy but I don't think I can do it without uploading to Auctiva first??
