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

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

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!

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

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?

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

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.
