POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

Hi Taz...I almost hate to ask but what are pinkies & fuzzies?? I don't think I really want to know

Pinkies=newborn mice or rats with no hair,Fuzzies= baby mice and rats that have just begun getting hair.
Well we hit 800 posts so far to the thread!I wonder if Auctiva has ever seen such a thing?

I know one thing---I'll never go to a 'pet shop' again.......(I'm an animal lover, just not alley rats)

Yeah this thread is HUGE, amazing aint it

Gee I am an animal lover too. But I also like my animals Grilled, Broiled , Smoked, Baked etc...
I use to live on a small farm and we raised all sorts of animals along with breeding several breeds of dogs.

Oh, believe me, I'll take a rare steak any day, preferably on the grill in the summer

But my dogs are my spoiled babies

Yeah I miss my grill right now. Well just a few more months until we have warm weather again. Or we could just go to Reno and harass Ninth and soak up some rays!

Anybody still up???

Yeah I LIKE the idea of going to Reno! Here we come Ninth

Uh-oh, now he'll never post again and hope we forget all about him

Hey guys,

We got well over 350 views today alone...(maybe alot more, I don't remember)

This 'Thread of Epic Proportions' must be the only online soap opera

Thought you had disappeared for the night Miss M, I was just getting ready to batten down the hatches and cover me head and all that crap.
This thread does seem to be slogging its way along though. There must be alot of people out there saying what is wrong with these wackos!
41 pages and still going!
Well good night all!

Hey Steve,

I was on my way to dreamlamd myself...

BUT..

When Shirley gets back, we are ALL going to visit Ninth in Reno, so start packing.

(It's a wonder he even speaks to us isn't it)

'Night!

I am an extremely mobile character Miss M. I always have a bag packed in case I want to go on a road trip.
G'night
Watch out Ninth we are on our way!

G'Morning, Afternoon, or Evening (depending where you're at)

Why does it seem I am the last one to go to sleep at night (other than Taz)and the first one to post in the morning???

Won't be around much today or tomorrow, just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year!

>> But next year we're all definitely going to celebrate in Reno

Why indeed Miss M? Good Morning fellow Lunatics and a wish for a better year ahead for all of us.
Happy New Years!

Hi just popping in to say Happy New Year to the stalwart thread bearers.

Can't say I am bored enough to paste a strange incantation into my browser, mummy warned me about accepting gifts from strangers, and they don't come much stranger than on here

Edit - I thought it may be a rotation, cum spinning arrangement with the sine and cosine transformations set to occur at intervals.

Good afternoon everybody, got up way late today, as usual, can't seem to get to sleep at night til late so my body clock's all screwed up. Staying up watching everybody gamble their fool heads off doesn't help either. Come the new year and I definitely need to get a better grip on my life.

Hey, you are all so welcome to come to Reno, 'The Biggest Little City in the World'. We'd have us a great ol time! The best weather is in October, 'not too hot, not too cold, just right said Goldilocks'. Excuse me I'm losing it. Even better, the best time is during the famed 'Hot August Nights' - ten days of 50's and 60's rock and roll and more custom cars than you will ever see in your life. It's a lot of fun. And don't forget Lake Tahoe. Double whammy time. Y'all come!







Happy New Year one and all!

OK Choo I forgot you were a computer nut like myself!

Ninth it looks beautiful out there! I would love to get out that way sometime, as I said my sister lives in Vegas and I have yet to make it out there!
Been to France and Canada but never made it past the East Coast of the States!

Happy New Year everyone!

Just got home from work, bit I'm staying in tonite, getting lots of snow.....


Ninth----

Thanks for the AWESOME pics!! Do I see a road trip in the future ? I'd love to get there in time for the hot August nights, the custom cars & rock & roll are right up my alley!

(I have my eye on a nice Sportster, I just might get it now )

Can we all stay with you???????

I can just see your face, HA!

Well here I am trying to stretch this thread out till New Years. I'm sure it won't be a problem, all it takes it one post after New Years to break the ribbon. Meanwhile, just want to wish everyone Happy New Years from Reno, Nevada. The ball drops here in 1 minute, so just imagine the pictures below with the streets jammed with bundled-up people (28 degrees) waiting for the fireworks that will be let loose from the top of the downtown casinos for 20 minutes. It's not Times Square, but it is Party Time!







HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!!!

Wow Ninth,

You posted exactly at midnight (board time)...we did it! (as if there were ever any doubt )

Such beautiful pictures, I am DEFINITELY going to visit you Luckily I'm NOT high maintenence...Taz on the other hand...well I don't know

28 degrees??? Almost as cold as it is here...brrrr

The fireworks were great. I can see them from my front door since I only live a mile or two from downtown. The temp is down to 24 now, on its way to 20. There's a major storm coming in this weekend, supposed to drop 4 or 5 feet of snow in the mountains. Winter has been mild here so far but stand by. I can't believe it's 2008! Like I said before, let's all get rich this year ok? And, get those bags ready! It would really be a kick if Pete and Choo showed up, woowee.

Hi folks, the time difference makes celebrating the start of the new year together a bit difficult with at least a 5 hour difference between us in the UK and you.

Anyway, Happy New Year, lets all get rich in health, wisdom and cash this year despite what is thrown at us.

Hey all we done did it. Kept the thread alive until New Years! And a Happy New Years it is!
Miss M what exactly are you implying here?

Luckily I'm NOT high maintenence...Taz on the other hand...well I don't know

Time to Whack 8880 guys!

OK Guys New Years resolutions anyone?
Mine is to quit smoking and eat healthier and exercise more

'Morning!!

Happy New Year!

Yeah we need lots of whackin' this year, but I still say we start with Ninth, where this thread all began......

Taz you are thinking I cannot read your mind.

Broke my resolution already - "not to make any new years resolutions"

Oh, yay Taz, another smoker. I have tried to quit so often, but I really don't WANT to..no wonder I always fail

Eating healthy isn't as easy as it used to be is it.

I can read his mind.....

Unfortunately he reads mine too.....

Eating healthy is darn near impossible anymore!
I can actually say I want to quit smoking but boy is it difficult after a few beers and I DO NOT want to give up my lager!
EDIT: Let the WHACKIN begin

Illinois new law went into effect at midnight last nite...NO smoking in any restaurant, bar, or other public place. It used to apply only to Chicago, so I could still smoke at the restaurants we go to around my job at least (outside of Chicago) but not anymore

EDIT__ How can you NOT smoke in a bar (if you're a smoker that is) Who can drink w/o a cigarette????? You smokers know what I'm talking about.

That stinks 8880 all these bleeding hearts out there doing their best to decide what is best for us. Come on if I am in a bar I darn sure expect to encounter cigarette smoke even if I am not a smoker. For the record I quit when I was 18 when ciggies went to $1 per pack and did not start again until I was 28 so have been in my share of bars without smoking also.
Kick myself in the tail for ever starting again. Stupid me I started again to try to get my ex-wife to quit! Told her every time she fired one up I was going to also!

Whoa, bad idea Taz...if I ever did quit I would certainly hope I never started up again, but one never knows. Gotta admit, I'm a little tired of feeling like an outcast....

It still blows me away when I see some of the old blk & wht movies, where everyone is smoking and no one gives it a second thought......'course back then they didn't know you could die from it I guess.

Well I gotta get ready for work, I'm sitting here like I have nothing better to do I wish that were the case! Gonna check in later & see what's up.

Ninth--thanks for the great pics, we'll see you next summer (hee hee)

PETE---quit celebrating and post something!

EDIT--Choo, I really like your resolution

Have a great day everyone

Have a good day Miss M. Work that kind of stinks for today doesn't it?

From about August this year in the UK smoking was banned inside all public places from minibuses to pubs, great.

Only snag is the fog created by the smokers clustered around outside of the venues.

Smoking on public transport has been banned for sometime.

But lucky you Steve your resolution to give up smoking will save you lots of money, I can't as I never started, my parents smoking actually put me off for life.

Think of it another way all those fat cats get stinking rich by killing off their customers who else can get away with that !

Another new year resoluion is "never make a new years resolution you cannot keep", seems I fail on that with my first one too, it's hopeless so why bother

Well gee Choo it has not even started yet then!

Could not resist! Happy NEW Year 2008

Didn't I tell you I had a crystal ball

Meanwhile that's me bashing my head on the table, you have quite an arsenal of images don't you.

Takes at least a month to write the correct year on cheques too.

I know what you mean Choo I will catch myself for awhile doing the same thing!

quote:

Meanwhile that's me bashing my head on the table

That was the idea and I just had to laugh at it!

Happy New Year! xo
Hi ya'll. Wow! What a lot I missed... it's hard to know where to jump in here. lol Please do tell me if I missed anything important.

Rats in the freezer. EEEeeeeewwwwwww!!! Not even in the days of pet snakes. Actually, it's probably more gruesome and I'll spare you the details. bleh!!!

No New Year's Resolutions for me.... gave that up several years ago because I never kept most of 'em anyway. lol

Road Trip - YEH! When should we leave (or arrive)? Are we stayin' with Ninth? Low maintenance Miss M? Me too... surely we're somehow distantly related or something. I have a great air mattress that's more like a bed, really comfy. Is there room for it, Ninth? I'll bring cookies. Favorites?? Will Pete & Choo be able to make it? I hope so! Taz, are you high maintenance? I never pictured that from you. We'll have to see what we can do about that.

I missed ya'll!

Hey Shirley glad you made it back and had fun. I actually just answered a message you left me on 12-13 on Big Crumbs, sorry for my slooooooooooowness!

Hye Taz. TY I did have fun. Too short a visit, as usual. I thought you just didn't want to talk to me over there.

Yeah I am rather snooooty YA know! And of course I do have my image to maintain!
But since I saw you had cookies I though a wee bit of impropriety was in order!
I've just been sitting at the Puter all day shopping, actually just every 2 hours! Found a great website with some awesome giveaways that you just pay shipping on

Sounds like a cool site. I've been trying to refrain from shopping but feel it coming on since you got me fixed up and I'll have time soon. lol

Ain't it amazing what having cookies can do?

edit- and that image to maintain... does that have anything to do with you being high maintenance? Darn, I still just can't picture that from you!

You would like this site I could tell ya about it but then... retail killer!

I thought after I left that I coulda done this...



Are ya sayin' then you'd hafta kill me?

edit... I thought that's an 8 Is it a B?

I did run across him!
I don't know click the link and see what danger may lurk. I thought the Shadeaux knew EVERYSTUFF!
Edit: Yes it is a B

I see they have no bags of crap or dirty diapers. Darn, those are just the things I'm in the market for! Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!!

Had to go buy one of those darn flash drives they had. Everything sells out in like a minute! But I have managed to get 4 SWEET deals so far today from there!

Oh man, less than a minute I bet! I wanted the last one when I clicked on the link. Isn't the next one in two hours? Did I read that right?

edit... Did I see that Pete and loved ones are doing better? I got a bad sore throat that hit last night, and am all stopped up. Ya'll send me hugs?

Yup 2 hours and you need to be registered and have all your payment and shipping info set up beforehand or you will never get in!

Yeah Petes family was doing better but he got sick

BRB Gotta get you a hug!

Feeling better yet Miss S?

awww Thank you Taz! I love those hugs!!

Pete was gettin' sick when I left. I thought someone said he's better now. My throat feels like I have tonsilitis (sp?) but I don't have any tonsils. I know... waaaahh lol

edit... Your avi just makes me laugh!

Shirley I think this was Pete's last post! Could not find any from him since?

Posted December 30, 2007 02:44 AM

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! Big Grin

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

Hopefully all is well with him and we hear from him soon!

Glad you like the avi, just don't laugh TOO hard or your imaginary tonsils will really hurt!

That's sweet for you to go find that Taz. I've scanned the posts and it's a long thread. lol Maybe I'll settle in here in a bit and just read 'em all. I too hope we hear from him soon and he's better.

I don't think I could laugh too hard right now even if I wanted to. I hate being sick... yeh, like anyone likes it. lol

That is a lot of reading to catch up on. Well I am going to be up for awhile to catch the next special and then I think I will set the alarm for 2 hours later to catch that one. They are supposed to be doing the specials until 6AM EST

I signed up and am gonna watch it. I wonder if anyone else'll show up to join us.

I kind of expected Miss M to show up. She went to work earlier today. And Ninth is not here either? Everyone must be New Yeared out!

Of course I hope to see 'em. I'm happy you're here with me though. And all those hugs! I needed that!
I'm just amazed at the views count. It's baffling why noone else posts.
New Yeared out... lol I was watching the Twilight Zone (marathon), the one with the little robots. That one creeps me out, and the doll one. Exciting, huh?

I have not watched Twilight Zone for a long time.Always liked them but just got old for me? Maybe since it has been so long I should catch them again. I really do not watch much TV, I watch movies mostly on the computer.
Getting hit with snow right now, supposed to be around 6 inches total by tomorrow afternoon
EDIT: If you are going to try to get anything on Retail Killer start F5ing about 2 minutes before the hour as they were starting a bit early for some reason?

I hadn't seen it in a long time either, then happened across the marathon. I watch TV and movies sometimes, then go a long time with it just on music channels. Last night, I alternated reading and channel surfing.

No snow here but it's suppose to get down to single digit with horrible windchills. brrrrr
I'll go be sure I'm still logged in and ready to go.
edit... I wish I knew all the KB shortcuts. I'm still learning new ones but use F5 all the time and the ctrl a, s, c, x, and v ones.

Nice

How many times do you see someone in the store or wherever and think they're talking to themselves? Or to you and you answer them? LOL

Did you get one? I did! Actually my second Bluetooth of the day!

UH Talking to themselves? I usually start reaching for my shoulder about that time!

I did. Now I can hide it with my hair and make people think I'm talking to myself.

quote:

Hi Miss Shirley...I have a bag of crap you can have hee hee!!

I got stuck at work a couple extra hours (you KNOW I'll always show up here ) Then it took me a long time to get home, 6 degrees & real slippery.

Glad you had a good time but we missed you!!! So glad you're back...don't know where Pete has been tho hope he's ok.

Taz, I haven't had a chance to look at that website but I'm dying to. How was your New Year??

quote:

I usually start reaching for my shoulder about that time!

??? lol

Miss M, Hi You DSG! Glad you're home safe and sound. Hugs to ya!

Ah I did not get the talking to oneself thing Miss S.
Reaching for shoulder as in carrying a concealed weapon.
Hey Miss M new years was great.
Yeah you missed almost all the fun on that website. It is almost over and back to normal.
Do you guys use Woot at all?

ahhh I should've gotten that, concealed weapon part for sure. lol

Oh and Miss M, the bag o' poo, what kind and how big is the bag?

No, never heard of Woot. Will go check it out. Thanks Taz!

Sorry I didn't ask how was everyone's New Year. Soooo how was it???

Woot is the one that sells bags of crap occasionally. They call them Random Bags Of Crap. Sell for 1 dollar with 5 dollar shipping. I have bought a few things from there. woot
EDIT:OK Miss S why should you have gotten the concealed weapon part? I'll bite!

Kill them! Kill them ALL! Cause it just fits my sorta warped sense of humor.

quote:

Oh and Miss M, the bag o' poo, what kind and how big is the bag?

It's dog and it's BIG...want it?? For you, free shipping

What the heck is Woot?????? Never heard of it..

AWW darn and I thought it meant a woman in uniform! And I was so looking forward to trying your handcuffs out!

I HAVE dog poo but thanks anyway. LOL Free shipping? You think they'd have to inspect that one to see what IS that smell?!

quote:

And I was so looking forward to trying your handcuffs out!

lol What makes you think I don't have handcuffs just because I don't have a uniform?

Why click the link and find out Miss M!

quote:

lol What makes you think I don't have handcuffs just because I don't have a uniform?

That's it I am on my way to Texas to find out!

"handcuffs" Taz?? I must of missed a post or 2 (OR 3 OR 4)

No you stepped in just as the topic came up about concealed weapons and Miss S said she should have picked up the reference

quote:

That's it I am on my way to Texas to find out!

Oh! Just be sure to bring some snow please!

I started to tell Miss M that and thought maybe I missed some posts. lol

quote:

Oh! Just be sure to bring some snow please!

Why do you think things will heat up enough that we will need to cool down?
What about Ninth? Oh my! I do believe the spider may be spinning a new web?
EDIT: HELP!!!! I am the one that is outnumbered tonight!

quote:

HELP!!!! I am the one that is outnumbered tonight!

awww Taz, you love it, dontcha!

What about Ninth? I still want him to come into my parlor!

edit... now not only did I scare Ninth, I scared you too Taz?

OMG Miss M that is just too much! No worries on the barging in!

I just sent both of you a GREAT email...check it out

MIND READING YOU AGAIN MISS M!

Taz will you please stop reading my mind

LMAO ROFL

Alright---my typing is REALLY slow tonite.......

I need want a cigarette

Ha Ha--I'm HAVING a cigarette...delicious, cough cough

Miss S, do you smoke?

I sent my email to both your addys, you gotta see this one....

Where the heck did Shirley go????????

She was watching the end of the Twilight Zone and got sucked in!
Either that or maybe she went to grab a bowl of mixed up nuts?

Mixed up nuts is right...she was emailing me

That pic brought a memory back to me of a "LADY" I met a few years ago while out at another friends nightclub. We were having a great conversation until her friend ( a woman) pulled me aside and said the "LADY" was carrying extra baggage. I cleared the floor rather quickly on that one!

Whoo Hoo Taz
Close call huh!!!!!

As Aerosmith would sing "Dude looks like a LADY" EDIT: But of course Steven Tyler looks kind of suspicious at times also!
OK here is a link to a video clip that is amusing. Why Mom always told you to wear clean underwear!
It is a very short clip, actually a foreign commercial

OMG

DUH! I've been stuck on the last page wondering where ya'll went, besides my emails, Miss M.

Gee Miss S that has happened to me before but ONLY for a minute or two.
Perhaps you were stuck in the Twilight Zone like the old lady on the phone just now?

Is it on now? Ohman I better find it.
I refreshed and went to wander around, then refresh and edited way back there. I was stuck, I tell you, stuck! Maybe it IS the Twilight Zone. OR maybe I LIVE in the Twilight Zone!!!

LMAO Taz @ that video!!! I have a funny Tide story I can send ya if ya want it??

Send away Miss M. BTW Ladies we are fast approaching 900 posts and 7,000 hits.
Miss S. I see you did your good deed for the night with the guy with 28 disappeared auctions. Poor guy is frantic! Posted 3 times about it!
EDIT: He just answered you back and thanked you

Taz, I did that while I was lost. LOL
And I didn't comment on parts of that other post lest we get our ratings changed.
