POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

Hi Choo, Hi Taz,

How is everyone today??

Wow the reply button was excruciatingly s l o w for me just now, then I got the dreaded 'page not found-cannot find server'.

Today at least I have no life, just gonna be a couch potato (thank God for laptops HA). Too much snow & ice outside and nowhere I really have to go.

I think Shirley's away for New Year's, Pete is probably sick, and ninth has been MIA for awhile now. Wonder if he's seen Shirley's new avatar..

Hey Miss M I am extremely tired today for some reason? Heck just woke up a little bit ago!
So much stuff to do that I really have no drive or ambition to do.

Well Steve I left that one over 20 minutes ago, they all get out of synch causing threads like this to get extremely tricky to follow, and then th e-mail notifications sometimes come through before a refresh of this page shows an update.

What's all this about having a life, new one on me, "I type therefore I am"

Must go dinner (evening here) being dished up, back later.

Cor, another just arrived, but dinner first, need food to type !

So Choo you are following the thread by email. I am not sure what kind of delay there is between post and email being sent out.
In your last post you said you just got another email.
If it was Miss M's looks like you have about a 8 minute lag time.
Wow that sure is a lot of email you must be getting then! Wonder why you were not getting them for awhile?

Hi 8880 and Steve, how else do you follow this thread if not by mail, I suppose you could get your browser to auto-refresh or I suppose in a frantic session everytime you submit a reply another one is there as well.

Not much has happened here for the last hour or so

Yeah it is definitely a slow day on here Choo. I guess maybe everyone is off doing something else for the day.
I am sitting watching football and trying to get motivated to list a few things!
I have absolutely NO drive today!

Well I just got done watching a movie (Wild Hogs)..kinda funny, but not as funny as you guys

Other than that I haven't done a darn thing today..

I am so FRIKKIN bored that I just went into my Auctiva photos and deleted over 200 outdated photos.
Maybe that is my penance for our rambling post on here.
I watched Wild Hogs it was an OK movie.
American Gangster was so disappointing and Die Hard 4 was OK.
Getting ready to watch Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix.

I know what ya mean Taz,

Wild Hogs looked so funny in the previews, but I only really LOL a couple of times (SO unlike me) It was still ok tho. One of the funniest movies I ever saw was Throw Momma from the Train. I prolly went thru a whole crate of kleenex during that one

Pete must really be feeling under the weather to not be around. Either that or he is feeling better and did something with his son.?
Being sick during the holidays is really awful.
I had the measles when I was 6 for Christmas and I remember how sad I was.
I've been sick over the holidays since I was older but definitely the worst for me was when I was a kid.
Hope your little boy is feeling better Pete and you were able to figure something special out to do for him

Unfortunately I think he's probably feeling worse..I'm sure he would have stopped in just to say HI. I feel like something is trying to sneak up on me too...

Boooo

I have been fighting a cold for several weeks now but really have not been what you would call sick for awhile.
I get a flu shot every year just to be safe.
Hope that whatever is sneaking up on you does not hit you hard.

Boooo?? BOOOO WHOOO CHOO CHOO?

Better a shock on the forum than a bug any day, when I had flu jabs many years ago I think I preferred the flu, luckily since geting older I rarely catch it now.

Perhaps you have to much sun out there, we prefer (ho ho) damp and gloom at this time of year.

I think Choo is as bored as we are...I'm not used to being such a couch potato..it's ok for awhile but after that...yuck!!

EDIT-----Choo, we rarely have sun in the winter in Chicago, every day is just blah..

Wow my PC says my virtual memory is running low and is going to increase it, great, now I might virtually remember what I forgot to do today

Me bored

Not on here afterall how will the time delays interlace this reply with stateside.

Whoops here comes another mail, ah the one 8880 posted from not so sunny Chicago 8 minutes ago, which agrees what you estimated earlier Steve.

Alright the votes have been tallied. (All 2 of them) and the results are in . So I guess I have my new Avatar unless I find Taz dressed as a Steeler.
Guess ya cannot tell but I am a huge Steelers nut

Just a nut, Taz

(you asked for it)

Steeler ?

How did you know Almond Joys are one of my favorite candy bars?


"Sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't"

Surely you jest Choo? Like Pittsburgh Steelers football. But I guess you guys across the pond have your rugby and soccer and more than likely not much exposure to American football. But to have never heard of the Steelers? OH MY!

Taz...my point exactly


Choo....PA Football Team

Go Bears...

oh wait, don't care for football anymore...

I'm an athletic aetheist (not sure I can even spell it) don't follow UK footy let alone any one elses.

Anyway while you reel in horror I bid you both good night as it is just gone midnight here

Take care Choo. Join the festivities again tomorrow if you have the time and need some laughs

'Night Choo,

Nice to see ya, if only for a little while

ps...I am 'reeling in horror' it's barely dinnertime here

Well Miss M. Hate to leave you all alone out here but I have to work the door at Magoo's again tonight so have to get ready

This is really gross, but does anyone want to hear my story about the 2 rats (yes, dead rats) I found frozen in my freezer??? Hubby can be amazingly &^%$#!@ sometimes!

Huloo! Miss M! and you let the minions hanging here!
BTW I knew you were married! I guessed that a few pages ago!

Hi Taz,
Went out for a little bit (had to kill the boredom) but back now...you still here??

Hi folks, just a quick surface before going back to curl up for a while. Thanks for your thoughts! Stevie is MUCH better now, thankfully. I am still feeling like carp, but it is improving, so on my way back. Sally seems to be over it too now. Last night my boy was watching his favourite TV program, You've Been Framed (don't know if you guys over there have that, or anything like it?) - anyway, he came over and sat on the arm of my chair and leant against me and put his arm round my neck, and spent the hour like that! And that from a kid who doesn't think cuddles and hugs are cool - I was well chuffed, I can tell you!

Still haven't decided what treat to give him yet, but we will. OK my lovelies, I'm back off to bed for a while now, see y'all

aaaah, moment to treasure Pete

G'morning
G'morning
G'morning

Great day here, sun is out for a change, snow is melting, yippee

Hate snow

Where the HECK is the Ninth? At least stop in to say Happy New Year

G,morning/evening all.

Perhaps she, sorry he is having an identity crisis

Hi Choo!

And what is YOUR name BTW.......hmmmmm???

Oooo he's not gonna like THAT little sentence

Maybe he's not here because Shirley's gone for the weekend..the rest of us must just be peons Methinks the Ninth needs another whackin'

Hi just trying to provoke Ninth into responding as well.

I tend to think on any forum connected to eBay in anyway one is better to keep undercover and BTW apart from references by Steve to you as Ms M (presumeabably a shortening of Member ...)cannot say I recall seeing your name either.

The time delays on this forum need tobe quickened up.

Perhaps we suggest that Auctiva supply us with alive chat room to save overloading the servers with this thread of epic proportions.

Well Choo, you've skipped through alot of posts haven't you (can't say as I blame you either)

But oh yeah, my name is out there and so is the chat room suggestion. (Miss M is for Member etc) So I think these folks are at least trying to keep what little privacy we have left

I love that..."Thread of Epic Proportions"
How right you are!

Aha found you back on the 22nd (S....e) whilst I wasn't receiving any mails from this thread, and I have noticed that some I have received mails about such as the rainbow lips avatar the other days did not appear on the thread when I looked.

Personally I thought someone had kissed a blender when i saw it

Ok now, don't YOU get me started! I don't have any kleenex nearby (you guys know how easy I am)

I don't have the email setting enabled (thank goodness), I just keep coming back & clicking on our thread....Oh listen to me, 'OUR thread'

Everyone is welcome but I think they're getting sick of us
