Shirley, I wondered why you changed from 'shirjo'...When I signed into the message boards for the first time it wouldn't let me use my ebay ID?? Maybe that was a glitch?? So I just used the first thing that came to mind...
You did not read my VERY serious post last night about calling the suicide prevention hotline?

Now this IS a joke, isn't it?
I'm finally sleepy, so will say goodnight and sweet dreams to you lovely folks.
Taz, you've taken a great burden from my shoulders. I hope you realize how much you've helped and how much I appreciate it!

No there is no need to talk I am currently going to school to get my CDL (Commercial Drivers License) and one day I too can drive a truck loaded with 
TY for the offer of talking sometimes I do have a habit of utilizing a very DRY humour.
Suicide I guess is nothing to joke about and I have lost some very dear friends and family members because of it. Furthest thing from my mind though!

I really MUST Get a Life! I'm snapping out of it now! lol
Taz, the BS haulers around here are some of the worst ones to watch out for. Glad you're gettin' your license elsewhere. AND that it's the furthest thing from your mind.

But you have drawn a tear to the eyes of this hardened heart and I thank you SO much for that. Must admit I have been a bit heart-broken these past few days and really appreciate all of you!

We love you too Taz..
You just never ever sound down or bummed out in any way..like everyone said, it just wasn't meant to be, and we've ALL gone through that, or worse...

Hey peeps, how y'all doing? Taz, well done on getting Shirley out of the Playground, nice one mate.
Shirley, when did you change your name? I wondered who you were for a moment, until I read your signature
Hi Choo, glad you've joined us Whereabouts in the UK are you?

Good morning and good grief all, 92 to mails relating to updates to this thread since I signed off last night. 
Just as well I am in a different time zone as I would not get anything done joining in with this wonderful madhouse of a thread.
Regarding my name there's one for you, my ID here is different to my eBay ID because I prefer anonimity but my interests are definately railway orientated.

Hi Pete just seen your post, I am sure these posts get out of synch, I am near London, certainly not many UK sellers here judging by the nocturnal (UK time) activity.
I think you're right Choo (or is it Charles?).
I might sound like a right charlie at times but no
Good Morning fellas,
How is everyone today??
Choo, the way this thread has been going you'll probably have to ditch the email setting
So what time is it there now? I can never keep that straight ??

Hi 8880, 15:47 GMT can't trust the times shown on the mails, this thread did swamp my box this morning, but a lot better than reading the morning news, don't now what happened to the others from the 20th 'til yestarday, perhaps my ISP's spam filter intercepted them, better check !
Good morning.
It's great what Taz did! I can get all over the place now. I can even research and I could go shopping if I want. woohoo!
Sexy St Pete, how's everyone feeling? I hope you've gotten some rest and feel well.
Choo, Charlie used to be my nickname. I think noone remembers it but me. How about ... I dunno... I'm stuck on Stanley. Any hints?
Didn't recognize me huh? A spidey in hiding. I'm pretty much a nocturnal creature, so isn't that befitting? lol Off to explore on eBay some more... at lightning speeds. lol Have a happy day all.

Hah! I bet with that many, your spam filter did catch 'em. Mornin' Miss M.
Hi, not Laurel either
Who's chasing you, Shadeaux 
Laurel... where did I miss that? LOL I don't picture you as a Laurel.
Or is that a hint? I'm not getting it, if so.
edit -Ok I get it now!
edit/edit -Noone's chasing me Choo. I'm a spidey in pursuit of a pretty fly for lunch... or a yummy li'l snack.

Hey there Miss S,
At least your name still starts with S
How ya be today? Surprised your up as early as I am, but I guess 9:30 (or 0930 as Choo would say) isn't all that early.
I was shopping already this A.M.--more bigcrumbs pennies for both of us
EDIT EDIT We're having a BIG snowstorm right now Shirley, grab your mittens and get over here ... We'll whoop the pants off those boys with our snowballs

Doh, meant Oliver of Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy 
Not in the spam folder only the usual junk mail, sent in a brown bag 'medications' and fake watches.
Errrm why would I say 0930, I'd say nine thirty

I got the Laurel & Hardy thing right away ... showing my age, huh Miss S is a young 'un
I thought most other countries use military time..like 15:47 for example? I know, 3:47, we have to use military time at work. At least the AMs & PMs never get mixed up

I tend to use the 24 hour clock and GMT on here because most other posters seem to be US.
Otherwise and most importantly when setting up a VCR to record a very rare event, i.e. something worth recording.

True, most of the posters seem to be U.S.
I'm still trying to find a cheap digital watch to use at work with military time, I can't even find one here
Gonna run for now...be back in a bit. (more shopping) Hope everyone has a good day

Hi Shirley, thanks for asking - Stevie's temperature now seems normal, but the poor little bugger is still getting very tired very quick, and has little appetite, Sally and I still feel absolutely lousy, and I have the mother and father of coughs to go with it This flu bug has truly screwed up our Christmas this year - did you ever hear of an 8 year old boy who couldn't be bothered to open and play with his presents?
Oh well, hopefully start improving soon.

Hey, Miss M. Yeh, been up since about 8:30. Choo, if it was p.m., would you say 21:... lol I know... j/k Young un HAHA Young at heart... BTW, I love Laurel & Hardy. Yeh, I shoulda gotten it right away. Just dingy is all.
Pete, I think the aftermath is sometimes worse than the actual illness. My girls and I are havin' our Christmas this weekend. It won't hurt a thing to delay it a bit. The holidays tend to spread out over about a two week period for me. One of the reasons I cooked that turkey breast on Boxing Day. Maybe ham while there... yummmm! And I KNOW some of her special buttermilk pie and the youngest makes a better cheesecake than mine. OMG I can't wait!!! lol

LOL Shirley! How do you manage to keep your sylph-like figure?
I am thinking of trying to organise some sort of treat for Stevie, to make up for his lousy Christmas - I'll think of something!

Back now..Shirley, you'll be happy, not working today but SHOPPING today (online of course)
Pete--why don't you kind of improvise from what Shirley is going to do? Celebrate Christmas next weekend (or whenever family feels up to it). Tell Stevie Santa knew he was sick and is making up a new Christmas Eve just for him (uh-oh...does he still believe in Santa??) Or something to that effect should work. Poor little guy, he must have been REALLY sick not to have any interest in his gifts.
