POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

Coo, you can almost here the elections bouncing around cyberspace it's so quiet on here.

Must be that the killer tom's have just received or rather taken their first big feed

FangMother 0 - Killer Tomatoes 1

Make that FangMother 3 - Killer Tomatoes 0

Yummmm

I didn't realize it was so long since I was here..been kinda busy... Unlike you, who I'm sure is a couch potato (or couch tomato??)

So what have YOU been doing? (other than constantly trying to nail me into my coffin)

Oh NO!!! Thread dead?? I have not been around in so long. Still not doing anything on FeeBay.
Thought I would stop by and review the antics here.
R.I.P thread that would not die

Hey Taz, ole' buddy ole' pal Missed ya! How ya been?
It aint me...LOL...all Choo's fault. I was going to post again but I wanted to see how long it would take HIM to post. NEVER, it would seem

I guess you're right (sniff sniff)

R.I.P.

Nails in da coffin and no DURN ChooChooGuys allowed dis tread be dead!
Oh my where are the life givers of our thread!

What took you so long to break out of your coffin, must have been Taz helping you with a crowbar, oh dear

Where are all the life givers ?

Probably given up on greedbay as well

Well good grief where the heck have you been???

Of course Taz helped me get out, you know Taz


Can't talk now, out the door for work but I'm gonna give you a piece of my mind when I get home (you need all the extra you can get)

Off work on disability right now and all I find is a dead thread. You 2 are no fun at all
Looking for stuff to sell on Feebay right now so I have a bit of income while I am off work.

Hi Taz, well the FangMother seems to be missing in 'inaction', must have given too many a piece of her mind.

Bad Taz, doing yourself a mischief and to make things worse you come here where a pin drop is deafening

I'll overlook the comment about us being no fun seeing as you have only given us the odd chuckle this year

Want the realllly bad news? I now have to pay to assist members in the Forum. I don't list to eBay anymore, but have to pay to help with templates. Oh well....who said no good deed ever goes unpunished....got that one right.

Danno

I don't usually read this thread because I keep losing my place. I would like to know what you mean that you have to pay to help people in the forums. They should be paying you!

booklady

I meant Auctiva should be paying you, not the people you help. I think you answer more questions than Auctiva does.

Good to see you Choo I guess over the next few weeks you will be seeing a bit more of me since I will be away from the swing shift lifestyle for the forseeable future.
Thanks for "overlooking" the no fun comment. Maybe I can bring a bit of life to the thread for awhile.

Hold on there guys...I'm not dead yet (although I'm sure Choo has some thoughts on THAT)

Taz how do you do that swing shift all the time? That WOULD kill me Glad you can stick around for awhile.

Hi booklady--I asked Danno the same thing but he hasn't been back
Yeah it doesn't make sense

Well if it ain't my old nemesis returned from .... hmmm ... who knows where ...

At least Taz seems to have stirred you into action

'I think therefore I type', so errant FangMother and long absent Booklady I think Danno's comments were based on the original Auctiva bombshell plans where you got virtually nothing without paying, even the templates.

.......

Desparate for reading. Got to read the whole thing. Most posts are dead. Seems like this is where the action is.

I hate to read through hundreds of posts but haven't been able to find how to get to the last post you read on a thread.

I can't find it, so either i am stupid or Autiva is way behind the times.

I am a ditsy blond but please tell me how you keep up with posts that have hundreds of replies.

Also. Why can't we hover over a thread to see if we we to view it?

booklady

((((oh what the hell... my cover's blown anyway ))))

Well... m'lady ---- seems to me a "specialist" is someone I need to pay special attention to.

Ditsy blond?.... hmmm... x'cuse me... but I doubt it!

you've been around a little while... si?



Howdy!! (that's zebra-talk for "Hello!" )

I'm Zeb!! --- I'm so very HAPPY to meet you!! (that's zebra-talk for "I'm reading all your past posts!" )
I certainly look forward to the opportunity for getting to know you better!! (that's zebra-talk for "I like you already!" )


Cheers m'Lady !!
~Zeb~
p.s. ((watch out for that Taz-devil! ))

Hey we're having a reunion Taz, Booklady, Zebra, where are you FangMother

Howdy Zebra

The only way to keep up is to be automatically mailed when an update occurs, which alas is not too often these days

I think the activity on here is as related to sellers activities on greedbay as much as being busy elsewhere ....

I'm' out of date, (not surprising well past by my 'best before date') actually Booklady Danno would still have to pay $2.95 to help others, oh well.

Come on Ninth and Shadeaux pop in and give us treat

I'm here Choo...wouldn't want to miss the reunion

Hi Zebra, haven't seen you in a loooong time, still the smooth talker I see

Booklady, there's an easier way to keep up than the email method - just sign in, go to Community, scroll down to the Lounge and click on the title of this post (RE:Poll the final step before etc). That will take you right to the last page. Oh and don't feel bad, I'm a ditsy blond too

Ok so now that we're all here where's the party? Choo are we all going to your place?

Hey for a dead thread we seem to be breathing lots of life back into it! Good to see everybody here. Zeb I think you were AWOL for the thread quite sometime. I was guilty of the same thing also.

Yes Taz you were VERY guilty of being AWOL
But glad you're back. Choo & I have been getting very lax in keeping the thread alive.
I don't think we're gonna see ninth wave & Miss S anymore tho

Well looney-tuners!!

I suppose this is THE proper place to put a sneeky-peek into

So...if'n anyone's got a talent for tunes from the past...

then for a thousand smackaroos (+ a juicy carrot)...

NAME THIS TUNE !! : "... I just drop'd in to see what condition my condition was in .."

(( don't even try Choo... you're excused from this one! ))


BTW: My sweet Chicago-ChickY.... I'm forever stuck on you! --- I see you still been flashing them sexy eyes..eh?

Y'know darl'n...If you've got one o' them Rodeo-Rider's to put on for me.. I'll pick you up after work on my surly softail! -- We could ride on down to the Stock Tank an' look at them stars all night together! Whaddy'a say sweet-pea?

Hey Choo .. Nice to see (hear) ya' there pal! -- How are ya' doing out there!

I do so hope yer not still watching that Soprano junk. Not to knock David Chase at all...
but as an alternative, I sure would recommend Dr. Who or MI-5. At least they have a bit o' embedded philosophical content. (yeah..I know ya' got to dig a little more into it with some of the episodes).

Here's one for you tho... [and I swear it's every bit as rich as any Sonnet 73 (Shakespeare) or Prince Otto or Mr. Hyde (R.L.S.)]

-- it's contemporary.. and quite pertinent a la tiempo (as they say down here) ..(well at least in my world). Of course everyone's situation & personal challenges are different (as you already must know) ....

but anyway...just try it out! -- it's called: [I}The Bucket List[/I] - with Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman --- maybe you can find it at your local video-rental vendor

I must admit...it kinda' hits home for this ol' cowboy.

CHEERS TO YOU !! - mi AMIGO !!

Looking at my spelling, I better check my own condition.

Like I said Zebra...smooooooth talker
Just Dropped In.....yeah that brings back memories From the 60's right? I want to say Kenny Rogers but that doesn't really sound right...We're showing our ages Zeb, at least I am. Good song, but now I can't get it out of my head. Choo would NEVER have gotten that one, I think he's a very young man (I'm trying real hard not to LOL!) Sorry Choo I couldn't resist but I'm sure you've come to expect it by now.

And you're a Dr Who fan too huh? My favorite show. But I liked Chris Eccleston MUCH better...

What's the Stock Tank? Altho I think I know

Poor Choo, I just caught this...only one brain cell

Sopranos was good junk until the messed up two halves of the last series, all that padding out with tedious episodes just to stretch it out, spoiled it for me

Been a Dr Who fan from day 1 as a kiddie hiding behind the sofa when the Daleks arrived

I certainly like films with Nicholson and Freeman, I'll look it up some time.

Oh, FangMother I seem to recall recently you were going to someone a piece of your mind again, you had better be careful too, I cannot spare anymore cells even to top you up

Me young, hmmm, I think wrinkled therefore I am wrinkled and I don't think the white hairs are cobwebs either !

And here I thought I found your toupee...

I definitely WAS going to give you a piece of my mind (Lord knows you could use it) but I have so little left I better not

Nevermind, use it as a shawl, now where can we get the poor ol' gal a rocking chair

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 !!!!

quote:

Now it is not a fort but closer to a graveyard

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.

quote:

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 :-

quote:

Nah nah I guess I'm the only one he likes

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

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.

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

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

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.
I guess we might as well close this thread now, we made the 2 year mark (can hardly believe it!)
It's been great making so many friends, even tho most don't post any more

Some of you that have my email, pls drop me a line now & then and I'll do the same
