I was responding to this post, but sounds like maybe it wasn't meant for me?
Not to be coy, but what was it I'm supposed to tell you?

HEllo all and they said it could not last!

That's what you're suppose to tell me. lol There was another one after that and I didn't get it. Now I know why. And yes, it Was meant for you.

WHO said that??? Lemme at 'em!!

Taz - to New Years and beyond, and still going strong.

You gonna talk to me, you sweet li'l fly? I have some yummy cookies just for you!

edit- wonder what I edited?

Well since you put it like that. When do I get to taste one?

That's a good question. How to answer that?
What's your favorite kind?

Where can we get those group GARs for the Auctiva Asylum Convention?

Well done my little spider. Oh what intrigues between spiders and flys do ensue.

Favorite kind? Texas home-made of course, but then I bet you knew that.

Group GAR's, we'll have to research that.

Probably my best recipe is ultimate chocolate chip with pecans. mmmmm Beers and cookies and leathers. Oh my!

Let's

edit- I saw the siggy uncheck box. woohoo!

You do know how to weave a web my dear.

Intriguing you are, my sweet, sweet fly.

Do you feel delightfully devious? I sure do - gotta love those shared secrets.

I'm so glad you said that! Why yes, yes I do!

"Life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away."
I love that sig, it's got power, bring it back!

Thank you. I saw it somewhere and loved it so changed it on here. Then my oldest daughter told me, earlier today even, that she has that on her MySpace page. GMTA lol

edit- Oh, I get it. LOL Ok, it's back.
edit/edit- If I could make up my mind whether it's checked or not.
It's easier cause I keep forgetting to uncheck the box before posting.

'Take My Breath Away" by Berlin. HOT. GMTA in more ways than one.
edit - thank you very much. It becomes you.

Miss M's right, we'll party till we drop... though I hope it's okay if I don't party hardy. lol As you can see, I love to stay up late.

edit... don't they.
edit/edit- YVW and thank You very much. You're sweet.

No need to party hardy, I don't either, but staying up late is me too. I guess late r us. Cookies, beer, and leather @ 3am, wow! (5am for you?)

Yes, 5am here. And I'm wound up like an 8 day clock. lol Wonder why? hmmm?
edit- Oh, and good about no need to party hardy.

Hi don't you guys and gals get any sleep, congrats on busting through the 1000th post at such speed, I see some of you are still up at 3am your time.

Just spent an hour catching up with nearly 150 mails from this thread, that's more like it.

I should have got up earlier but being an ugly sort of guy I need plenty of beauty sleep.

Oh, the snow -fairy picture, ermmm, less said about that the better

Good mornin' Choo. Only an hour? lol Yes, some of us night owls are still here.

Ok, I won't mention the snow fairy picture then.

Nothing 'thick' this time though, ok?.

We are both wound up. Yes, I wonder why? hmmm.

Life's too short to always party hardy, usually there are better things to do, cookies for one (doesn't your avatar imply as much? Hmmmm?)

Hi Choo- 150 posts, yes you might say we have been rather busy over here. Good mornin to yah.

No Ninth, nothin' 'thick'. I'll just tell you what a sweet li'l fly you are.

You're wound up too? I wonder why...

Cookies are Always a good thing to do.

Couple of questions on this steamy thread, what is a GAR and was the hose a substitute for the snake, not sure wether it was to up the tempo or extinguish it

Steamy thread... extinguish. lol
GAR = get a room
And then there's group GARs for an Auctiva Asylum Convention, which includes you and Pete of course. Is it possible?

Auctiva Asylum Convention... surely they'll give us group rates with a name like that.

edit- What snake? Where'd I miss that?

Sorry to confuse you, I must be getting rummy because I didn't mean you at all. I meant that I wasn't laying it on thick, hope you catch my drift.

Choo - Steamy? It's just your imagination. GAR means 'get a room', Miss M wants to take a fire hose to us. Don't know what she means.

Ok, I do know what you mean.

Good answers to Choo's questions! Don't need no stinkin' hose!

I'm glad you get it.

Choo, we don't need no stinkin' hose. That snake sure is a pesky little critter though. (God we must be so 'entertaining')

I can understand the need for the AAC but still don't understand the jist of this phrase :-

"Where can we get those group GARs for the Auctiva Asylum Convention?"



I think I will go back to bed it's like joining a motorway (freeway) on a bicycle !

NOW I'm sleepy. Hope I can get up by about 10 or so. lol Worth every second and then some.

Choo, you have a happy day!

Ninth, wishin' you the sweetest dreams. Please keep us posted on how you're fairing the storm?

I'm gonna dream of cookies...

edit- What's AAC?

Yes, what IS AAC? It's dreams for me too, Choo you've got the next watch. Miss S, I'll check in for sure, and don't worry, dreams will be sweet here too...

quote:

Auctiva Asylum Convention

Goodnight sleepy heads, chat again later

Good God Almighty

Where's that hose? SOMEBODY needs it....my computer is steaming and smoking after getting up this A.M. & reading the last few pages

(see how they misbehave after I leave???)

Poor Miss S & Ninth...you're gonna be tired today

Before I go out for a lil' while, here's a pic of Ninth & Miss S........LOL!







EDIT---Too bad we can't post the snow fairy today but I think Taz might be right about it being a little over the edge.....

Choo, if you want to see it, contact me thru here...http://myworld.ebay.com/chicky8880 and I'll send it to ya

Darn my link won't work.

Hello my lovelies, I'm back!!

Happy New Year to one and all, and my humblest apologies for missing out on all the fun you were having (I assume you were, there's an awful lot of posts and views for this thread now). Have I missed anything I need to go and read? There's such a lot since I fell sick, I don't think I can go and trawl all through them!

Did ya miss me? Well, did ya, did ya?

THERE you are! Just read the last page (if you can get thru Miss S & Ninth's goo-goo eyes) and you'll see we were wondering about you. Glad to see you're back, too bad you missed the fun last night. We are definitely the AAC!

So are you better now? How was your New Years?

If I stop answering in a little while it's cos I have to go out for about 1/2 hr but I'll be back, as Arnold would say

Good mornin'.

Choo, when you get several rooms, hotels will give a discounted rate, sometimes majorly discounted. Or is that not what you mean?
At the risk of mentioning the snow fairy again, I won't mention it because I might say too much.

AAC, yep, we were tired Ninth. lol How are you?
I didn't realize we'd misbehaved so badly. I don't remember if we said don't read it anywhere. uh-oh...

Miss M, if you'll put a space between that last dot and the 'h', your link will work. It's good with copy/paste now.

Hi Pete! Glad to see you're feeling better and up 'n' at 'em. Bless your heart, it's the pits when it has to pass around the family like that. Don't overdo it now and be sure you still rest well! *mother hen* lol

Morning Miss S!

I really didn't expect you to be up so early

Thanks for the tip with the link...you know I don't know these things

Yeah, copy/paste will have to do...gotta go out for a little while but I hope someone is here when I get back (no work today, yay)

Hi girls It warms my heart that you are the first peeps to welcome me back

Shirley, you been misbehavin' while I've been gone? Never mind, you can come and 'mother' me anytime!

Susanne, my New Year's was a low key event, as I'm sure you'll understand, but hey ho, that's how the cookie crumbles. I'm just glad to see my boy running around like his old self again :-)

I sure couldn't do that every day. lol
I'll be here off and on... yeah! No work today, so we can play?

I think we should try to find something with at least one kitchenette so we can cook for ourselves. Miss M, you don't have to cook. Whatcha think?

edit- Cookies? Did I hear cookies? Chicken noodle soup and cookies... that'll cure anything. lol

Hiya girls, got a little thread drunk last night didn't you, hows the hangover.

Hadn't heard the term GAR over here (UK) have you Pete ?

Oh, and Pete you gotta see thier pin-up of the snow fairy

Hi Choo, how are you? It was me who first told them to get a room, can't remember which of them abbreviated it to GAR though.

Let's have a link to the snow fairy then someone, c'mon

Hi Pete yes it's just they (the girls) used GAR in a curious way on page 57 and wading through last nights 150 odd mail notifications about this thread I overdosed and got word blind drunk.

You ought to peruse the last few pages before they wake up and get stuck in again.

I think I still have the snow fairy pic in my deleted mail folder, (so no need to send it to me again Ms M, I beg you not too )

Believe it was Steve who posted the picture temporarily, not sure whether it was self portrait or not.

Hey Pete, it's on page 55 or 56 where Taz and Miss M posted at exactly the same time wondering where you are. lol

I think Ninth abbreviated it to GAR. It's new.

Ninth, I missed about 3 being your limit. Oops, I'm sorry about that... not really buuuut...

Thread drunk? lol I guess you could say that.

quote:

Ooooh, Taz is gonna LOVE that one Choo!

Nope, can't find it

Hi, back already..

Pete it's on page 51 3 posts down. Since they were doing maintenence I couldn't post the pic just the link, but Taz of course figured it out.
He had it posted real big too, I was crying again

You sick and twisted people asked for it so back by popular demand .this photo of Choo clearing a pathway through Piccadilly Circus with his trusty snow shovel!

quote:

Believe it was Steve who posted the picture temporarily, not sure whether it was self portrait or not

Ah yes Choo I was trying not let the cat out of the bag but you did force my hand!

Welcome back Pete, yes it was page 55 that Miss M and I posted asking about you at the same time. Post was at 12:57 Am Auctiva time

EDIT: This post has been edited to protect the NOT SO INNOCENT

Hi Taz!

Guy must have lost a bet, huh!

HOLY CARP!!!

CHOO, what were you thinking of man??!! You're somewhat letting the nation down old boy, eh, what? Hrrrmph!

Taz, nice to know you and the lovely Susanne were thinking of me mate, cheers

Pete we were ALL thinking of you..but you'd have to read each & every post you missed to know that

Ahhh the Snow Fairy...brings a tear to my eye, if ya know what I mean ...

Can't remember when we had any decent snow in London for 20 years or more, so if that was me I must be over 100 years old by now

So Taz what were you doing creeping up behind me then all those years ago, eh

Choo it was me Great Great Granny that took the photo quite a while ago she was about 105 at the time and out MAYUN huntin. She said you were wonderful BTW the things you could do with those wings!

See, this must be why no one else posts here but us (I still find that hard to believe)

They don't want to get involved with a bunch of lunatics

Ok I edited the post with the snow angel!
Choo your reputation is safe!

Good goin Taz..although I think Auctiva Jeff would get a kick out of it, probably best not to leave it up for too long

Just read the 'NEWS' post at the top...they're already getting that bad storm ninth was talking about last night.

Well your great granny was after toy boy then so are we related ?

edit - and there's me thinking you are trying to get booted off these forums especially (and I digress, apologies) after bumping up your sensitive issue thread yesterday

ROFLMAO - you folks are the best medicine!

OK, I am logging off for now, will hopefully chat tomorrow - you all take care now!

Pete you're just a hit & run arent ya , but we're glad you checked in.

Have a great day

...brings a tear to my eye

MANY tears

I have to check the weather and just remembered I gotta mail stuff today. Just all afluster here. lol

Is it a sensitive issue? I didn't realize that. Why?

Hope ya'll are here when I get back.

Is what a sensitive issue? You mean the big ole butt pic?? Maybe... Would hate to have our thread pulled for something like that. I don't really think it's bad, just goofy

No, Taz's thread. The one that we're always answering frantic questions about disappearing auctions. I try to do only one or two changes at a time, so didn't have any running when I started, or probably would've freaked out too.

I don't think the snow fairy has hurt anything or anyone.
Maybe made some a bit curious is all.

No not this work of modern prose, I mean the thread about the tedious number of times we have to calm new users nerves when all thier listings evaporate when eBay do thier pull all listings anti-fraud check.

And by tedious I mean it could be avoided, by a warning from Auctiva before the event. I, like you folks will step in and happily calm the latest victim.

edit - like to think the casual passer by will hunt down the snow fairy, this thread is full of memorable prose and situations.

So come all you casual viewers jump in if you dare, what you got to lose, sanity, maybe, joins us in the charge to the second millenia of replies (even if it is to correct my smelling), there I go again

Oh OK...didn't realize there was another victim?? Too busy making a jacka$$ out of myself over here

Only a couple some of you were helping out in recent days and even one answered by CEO Jeff !

edit - now let us cease this shop talk in the lozenge, sorry lounge, my smelling cheggar has just blown up

I believe Miss S answered someone that was in a tizzy last night about their auctions disappearing. the post being referred to is the "Auctiva PLEASE step up" thread in suggestions. I was hoping to get it talked about again but maybe not? Appears to have been missed by most again.

Exactly Choo. I don't think the issue is whether we mind or don't, and feel none of us mind answering anyone's questions that we can.

It's that frantic what-happened-to-all-that-work-I-just-did/what-did-I-do-wrong adrenilan rush that noone need go through that concerns me. Probably ya'll too?

I would freak out too. Can't blame any of these folks for that!

No way, Miss M. You're too much fun for that!

Um...translation please???

Yes, Taz. I try to keep an eye out for those especially. I never saw the one Miss M responded to till the wee hours this morning. I still haven't seen the one Choo's talking about that Jeff answered.

Too busy smell checking I guess.

edit... Now I've really got to leave it to you lovely folks and get beezy. ttyl

quote:

Jeff what is the possibility of creating an advisory board with input from Active Community members? I believe a brainstorming session would greatly improve our ability to be pro-active members of the site.Possibly a private invitation type of forum where ideas and input could be freely exchanged back and forth without less seasoned input if you catch my drift?
I understand the cost and time implications involved in setting this up but I believe the overall benefit to the site would ultimately pay off in a better user experience and bottom line for Auctiva.

I had posted this in the thread about Auctiva and never got any input from Auctiva. (Or other Auctiva members for the most part)

OK I am off my soap box! But now it is time to get ready to go to work

Urrm "spelling checker"

One more thing... like it's a real reason pertaining to this... remember the power is down. I'll contribute to keeping after it, Taz, and apologize for neglecting it for so long. It IS really important. Maybe when power's back, they'll take notice.

Bye Steve, don't eat all the pretzels

Thanks Choo

I never know with "you Brits" You folks have some really 'different' sayings & words

By the way Miss S I see you paid me a visit last evening. Thank you and good luck .
Edit:I will probably check in again after I get ready for work

Have a good day Taz (at least as good as you can) I'm sure most of us will be here when you get home. Could you bring me some pretzels please?

Well I was looking forward to a few chuckles before I went to work? Wonder if miss S is still lost on page 59 Miss M?
Pretzels and beer for everybody!
http://www.benzels.com/html/history.htm
This is Benzels Bretzels where I am working. No the spelling is NOT wrong on Bretzel either!

Haha Taz! Not this time. lol I just bumped the thread again.

That'll be good for the road trip, I figure.

Have a great day Taz. Keep thinkin' of the chuckles you'll get when you get home... maybe that'll help.

Taz she could very well be lost, but she did say she had to mail some stuff today ..I saw she did an edit on her last post.

Aarrgghhh darn ESP again! Posting st the same time.

I'm soooo bad! I went exploring other threads awhile. Now I really AM leaving awhile, lest I miss the mail. I've only got 3 hours left!

Just edited my last post. Hello again and good-bye Miss S, parting is such sweet sorrow
EDIT: Miss S congrats on becoming a Premier Poster!

That I shall say good night till it be morrow... NOT

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only sane one here

Hey we haven't heard from Ninth yet...3 reasons:

He's lurking

He's still drooling into his pillow (now that brings up a funny image)

Or he's in the middle of the storm

Hope it's not the last one Ninth!

EDIT---We're almost at 9000 views, I can hardly believe it

quote:

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only sane one here

And just What makes you think you're sane Miss M? hmmm? Hangin' out here, doens't that make you INsane?

All I've seen is the winds aren't suppose to be as high as first predicted. Still...
I hope you have power Ninth, and can tell us you're fairin' it all okay.
Looks like fresh cookies won't be delivered anytime soon. lol You can use your imagination...

ummm, missed the edit and had to go see. We're over now and almost to 1200 posts.

I saw this too while seeing if Ninth and I made spectacles of ourselves again. Nah! We did alright, Ninth.
Miss M, true that we don't know what any of us looks like... I know what I look like. lol I'd be willing to bet you don't have calves like the snow fairy any more than I do! Wouldn't that rule out it being one of us?

edit- What's your altitude Ninth?

quote:

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only sane one here

You could be banished from this thread if that is proven to be true

quote:

Ain't that the truth! That's what I meant.

Oh no, I don't want to be banished

If I am, you'll all have to come with me wherever I go next

Hey dudes and dudettes (don't normally talk that way of course), Just popping in to let you know that how the big storm is progressing here. So far just a lot of wind and rain, water dribbling under my front door of course. Jeff and Co. is still getting hammered, being on the other side of the mountains. Our turn will begin tonite when the snow level drops to our elevation (only 4500ft here) and the front passes through. They are expecting 10 ft in the higher elevations but only 6 to 10 inches in Reno, which is still enough to mess things up here pretty good. So far the wind in the 'wind prone' areas in Reno have been 40 to 60 mph, much higher in the mountains (blizzard conditions, especially tonight).

Of course I am not going out in this stuff. I'd rather stay nice and cozy inside. Now, if I only had a nice plate of freshly baked cookies. Miss S, where are you when I need you? (Come on Miss M, I'm only talking about cookies here.)

edit - Miss M we would never do that to you, your whacks are what started all this!

Well you had better stop behaving yourself then

But then again I am looking at alternative selling venues anyway

Hey dude (I bet you talk like that all the time)
Yeah I guess BOTH of us started this with the whackin thread

6-10 inches, sissy weather

Seriously I know Reno isn't used to handling stuff like that. I lived in AZ for a time and when it rained (since it almost never did) NO one knew what to do and everything flooded, no sewer systems. It was actually kind of funny to me, people would act like the sky was falling because of a little rain.

So let us know how things are going tonite, and if you need us to come rescue you
(We'll bring our whackin sticks of course)

EDIT--And how could I forget?? Miss S will bring the cookies!

You're right, sissy weather it is. That's the reason I moved out of the mountains to Reno, I got tired of cold weather and shoveling snow. Spent 10 years up at the Lake, like this much better. Easy sneezy, I don't even own a snow shovel. Hah hah.

'Whackin sticks' - you are just so BAD.

edit- well in that case.
