POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

A kiss from a Zebra has got to be better than a bite from a FangMother any day

Are you S U R E about that???

PS...I don't wear shawls (geez how old do you think I am anyway-makes me think of my grandma)
I guess I'll take the cobweb and wrap 'something' in it to send to you

C'mon everybody, where are ya???

Leaving me to hold the fort alone again

Here ya go Choo...a hybrid



But I couldn't find one with fangs

Good grief, no wonder you're holding an empty fort

These forums used to be so busy, I'd check in numerous times in a day. Now it is not a fort but closer to a graveyard. Maybe some of you lurkers could drop in and say Hi. Even the Auctiva staff used to be a little more sociable. Holidays are coming up and the forums can be a fun break in your day.

booklady

Hi Booklady, they certainly were busy, and greedbay was still fun, well mostly

With Auctiva tied to greedbay and with so many sellers seem to have moved on, the recent burst of comments was probably as busy as it will get.

Come on you lot prove me wrong !!!!

That's why the FangMother is still here

Very Funny...

You forget I've come across YOUR coffin more than once...and darn, those nails just won't hold

This is what I'm gonna have to do next time



Well that's HUGE isn't it...LOL
I'm never any good at this stuff
But Choo, the likeness is amazing

Aaaah !

Ain't she sweet, the FangMother is giving me the crib her mother carried her around in as a sweet little FangBabe

Hey Choo,
I heard from our old friend Pete last nite. Not much, just a short hello but it was still nice to hear from him.

We got a new puppy (just what I need, another dog) and the little devil trashed my printer last nite. They're worse than kids, gotta watch them every minute. I forgot what a PITA it is to hand write all my shipping labels & wait in line at the PO...bummer

So what's new with you????? Polishing up your coffin for Halloween??

Serves you right anyone who has had a cat or dog for a while knows the score

They are creatures that start off as cute, very quickly change to being as dependent as kids and then at a crucial point suddenly change to being expensive geriatric dependents.

When I was young, oh so many millenia ago, (cue the violins) we had cats, one for almost 20 years, when I bought my own place, no pets, too much grief !!!!

So what was Pete's excuse for not popping in here for a poke at one and all, don't tell me he's getting shy

Only thing new with me is I'm another year older, but not wiser, sure that's a myth.

Don't believe in Halloween, I just polish up the ol' coffin when the cobwebs get too thick, you know, about once every century.

How right you are (for once) But ya gotta love 'em I couldn't even imagine not having any dogs, they're my kids

Pete was in BigCrumbs & came across my profile. Just dropped me a short line there. I don't think he's an Auctiva/Ebay member anymore. Do you have to pay and be a member in order to use these boards?? That had never occured to me Taz hasn't listed for a long time but he still posts here...How does that work?

And what do you mean you don't believe in Halloween It's better than X-Mas!

quote:

But ya gotta love 'em

That's the trouble the cute phase terminally infects you, then you are sunk, I'll make a fuss of a neighbours cat but no way will I have one again.

That way it's a bit like being an uncle to kids, you can have the fun and pleasure without the grief !!

Re posting here, it should be possible to to post here for free afterall you can have free 'membership' of Auctiva if you are not using their image hosting. I think it's due to the fun days of eBay have gone, the rot started to set in by 2006 and it has not got any better.

Apart from old trains which even they seem thin on the ground on greedbay.uk now I buy most other things online from Amazon now, and their marketplace traders seem more reliable than some I have bought from on greedbay. Possibly because Amazon are very strict, and from what I saw a couple of years ago quite expensive to list on, with fixed postage rates and delivery times required of the seller.

These forums and (in particular the epic thread) were a place to slip into after a hard day (or nights) listing, packing and posting for a bit of fun. It's not the thread but the reason for coming here, an extension to the fun on eBay before it became greedbay

Certainly better than Xmas, bah-humbug, shops full of Xmas clutter even before the hallowen masks, a 3 month run up to Xmas. Nevermind a lot of national post office strike action coming up here so perhaps Xmas will get lost in the post

Bah-humbug is right! The older I get the more of a DRAIN X-mas becomes and not just financially either
Lots of useless gifts all around that no one needs or wants (sigh)
Well now that I've shown myself for the scrooge that I am.....

Would you believe I have never found anything on Amazon that I wanted? Not once. Everything I look at seems very expensive compared to ebay. My 'broken' printer turned out to be salvageable, all I needed was a new adapter cord (puppy only succeeded in destroying the little plug that goes into the back of the printer). Found one on ebay at a great price...whether it will work or be DOA remains to be seen tho

And as for Pete...you're right, he could still post here if he wanted to. Nah nah I guess I'm the only one he likes

And where's everyone else? I guess we're getting too boring for them We need some new LUNACY! Now where'd I put that button.......

The button was under your elbow when you said :-

Finally saw film The Bucket List, good recomendation Zebra, our lad had it in his collection.

The only thing under my elbow is the rest of my arm (Yeah I'm hilarious)

So what's the word on your postal strike??
Good thing I don't shop in the UK

On going, both sides digging in their heals, national strikes a few days at a time. Major online sellers such as Amazon UK cancelling their RM contracts for packages and moving to couriers.

Good way of losing customers, driving down (minimal) profits and paving the way for more unrest, seems all rather self defeating.

With businesses trying to gear up for Xmas and given that we are officially still in recession they are not helping, especially as both RM and the union seem to issue contradictory claims and blames.

Thre has been local strikes about the UK for months severly disrupting businesses still waiting for cheques to arrive.

Lunacy buttons are obviously in use behind closed doors

Soooo.........

Where is everybody?? I've been on a nice cruise to the Bahamas, that's why I haven't posted (KIDDING...but I wish it was true)

So what's everyone elses excuse?? Even Taz hasn't shown up. This thread is SO close to 2 years we have to keep it going a little while longer. This must be some kind of record

Choo, you must have something to say (but do I really want to hear it

mmmmm, what a dubious fellowette this FangMother is ...

All I can say to that is and a bucket of

What the heck is a 'dubious fellowette' ??

And BTW, a bucket of to you too

>>>>Did you see the original eyes I had here?? Yikes, took up the whole page!

I'm still here and reading when someone posts. Don't post much myself due to keyboard problems.

booklady

Just a quick HI to everyone before I head out...I finally have a weekend off YAY! So I'm going out tonite with the girls

We were laughing...saying at our age we don't really fit in anywhere except biker bars or church bingo (way too old for the 'club' scene)

So guess where I'm going A hint...I might run into Taz.......

(I might go to church bingo tomorrow, to atone for tonite... LOL)

Where is everybody??????

Choo, I swear it wasn't me that sent you that ox of men's thongs, honest

An "ox of men's thongs", I do hope that was a typo

ps fellowette -> a female fellow

OOOOPS.....

Usually I catch my typos... Yes, I sent a BOX of them...I mean, I HEARD someone sent you a box of them

Ok, I get 'fellowette' (not sure I like it but I get it But what do you mean by dubious??? Hmmm??

EDIT-Darn, I always forget... and

dubious -> 'of doubtful character'

It was in reply to your comment on the previous page "Choo, you must have something to say (but do I really want to hear it "

I recall you also said humbug regarding Xmas but surely you enjoy Fangs Giving where you bite all your guests

OK sorry to go OT (on an off-topic thread no less) but you guys have to see this...I ran out of Kl**nex I cried so hard from laughing, it's hilarious. And we've probably all been in this same situation

Thank you for posting this. I had a stroke this weekend (will start a new thread) The stroke seems to have madfe me gripey. After reading this thread, I am now only 10% gripey when I was 90%. I usually run 1%. See my new thread and offer advice.

booklady

Hi booklady sorry to hear your news I wish you a speedy recovery, good ol'Ms M giving you a lift

Booklady, so so so sorry to hear that. But I'm glad I could give you a smile
I don't see any new threads of yours, did you start one yet?
Feel better!

I typed a long post. Can't use my right arm. Post disappered before I could hit Post.

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving (those that celebrate it, that is)
I had to work but they gave us a fantastic Holiday dinner
Booklady, hope you're feeling better but shouldn't you be in the hospital? Or maybe you are...Let us know how you're doing.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!

C'mon you guys...somebody post something...anything...we're almost up to 2 years on this silly thread

I think that's pretty awesome

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
how I wondered from afar

while looking up into the sky
the what, and how, the almighty why.

But then I met my wife.
She is the answer and my life

I can't believe this thread is still going
I was always suspicious that you guys were nuts, now I know for a fact!

Hi K!!

Hey, you are included in "you guys were nuts" Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to ya

(And who would have thought that Choo was such a romantic?) VERY nice poem

This thread is just barely hanging on but we're almost at 2 years. That must be some kind of record. Hopefully Taz will show up too.

Yep, it's hanging by a thread, a spiders thread

Awwww, poor spider and fly are long gone. Wonder where they are. I wish they'd come back, I miss them

So, here we are hanging by a thread of electrons in the absence of the spider-fly duo.

Oh well, nearly 2010, what about xmas, what about it indeed
