Don't you worry none my bulbous little spidey gal. Ninth is always close by, ready ta respond ta da call o' luv.

That's more like it only thing is where is Pete, hope he is just to busy to post !

Oh, by the way just seen flaming Dave's drivel and responded accordingly, thanks for all the support, I can assure one and all that I only use the name ChooChooGuy here. I was going to reveal my trading name on here shortly but obviously we are tainted by association to greedbay. So we catch the odd nasty infection from it, do not want it to spread to my sales especially with the open season on seller feedback looming, so ChooChooGuy stays

Seen this sort of thing happen to a colleague where I used to work, that was sad case too, nevermind, business as usual.

retal kcab

Morning everyone,

Wow it looks like the old days when everyone was posting at the same time

Big hugs back at ya Miss S! Still wainting for my email (tapping foot) (kidding, I got it, thanks)

I gotta tease Taz a little bit, I think you forgot all about us didn't you Good to see ya and glad things are going well for you. Isn't it great when life seems to work out?

Ummm Ninth...do you really think it's a good idea to describe a lady (even a spider lady) as bulbous? Go on, knock him out for that one Miss S!

Choo I was very upset with 'other poster'. I'M the only one that's supposed to pick on you Don't like anyone else stealing my action. Auctiva really dropped the ball on this one..reported every hour on the hour last night and again this AM. But enough of that carp...
(But dammm, now we'll never know your trading name...bummer)

Soooo, what shall I send you?? I'm still thinking...it has to be something good but I'm still not sure...Don't worry, I'll come up with something

quote:

I'll come up with something

I sure can rely on that

Support is very slow these days, still I shall not be wasting any more time and certainly no sleep over whats-it's-name

I don't think support is even AROUND any more ugh! Even EPay would have *poofed* it hours ago....

I also reported Dave no time to respond to his drivel. Miss M you have a email from me. Hope it helps out. No time to explain to everyone but pertains to contacting Auctiva. They dropped the ball BIG time here!

EDIT: OK I made the time to respond to DummKopf err I mean DaveKrell but DummKopf fits better.

HOLY me turtle....I am quite aghast at the post directed at choo! I also reported it...slow ????may be the word for it. A lot could happen in the meantime.
I guess they allow people to flame Auctiva so maybe they don't differentiate between a Software program and tech dept and real people using their product. I did look up their note in Read First and pasted it below..is vague I guess.
I admin and mod another forum and I am shocked they allow links to other sites in that category on their support forum.....but I guess they don't distinguish between this and that.
I'll say!!! there is a good reason not to id ourselves huh?
Ok woke me up big time today, I have to run, I'm staying in MY SHELL for a couple of days! No way am I stickin' my head very fer out.

Perfect word for it N.

Choo, Taz came up with some brilliant ideas, which I've passed on to Miss S and Ninth. We're all working to get the thing removed.

You are gonna owe us BIG time for this kidding! What are friends for??

Well, THANK YOU AUCTIVA!

The offending post is finally gone and we can go back to business as usual.

Thanks to Taz for the great idea that I believe led to the removal..way to go Taz!

Whew, I was honestly considering whether or not to participate on any other forum but this one, which I also added to the thread....that I assume is edited or deleted by now....way to go, and I hope I was of a some help too....
Now I owe WHO????

Thanks friends

We're always glad to bury the garbage, can't stand the stink. No less than you would do for anyone else.

Well!! ~ Sweet Piles o' Sugar Plums!! And I was so looking forward to a chance for smokin' out that paltry little pervert!

Only had a minute or two this morning to catch a wiff o' whut was going on Choo...with really no time at all to get involved before taking off for appointments today.
BUT I COULD HARDLY WAIT to finish up my rounds and get back here and do a little ZEBRA-DANCE on that SNAKE!
Darn!...And I had such a gooood load of Pooh to dump on that critter!
Oh well...On the other hand I'm very happy to see that ya'll got him * poofed * (hi Missy!) right outta' here anyway!
For the record Choo... I seriously doubt you actually really need any help with the occasional putrid vermin-iculite...cuz anyone with any snap at all can easily appreciate the reputation you've both earned and deserve. On the other hand (yep..that's 3 hands altogether)... I'm really looking forward to gettin' me very own blow-up doll from ya' somehow. I don't think it's quite fair Missy should have all the fun...even if she is purdier dan me! They wouldn't happen to be like those I spied at the Oct-07 "Adult Treasure Expo" in Japan would they?? (srch: wired.com ) I could jez see some smirky-dirks a'huffin anda puffin on dem tings. Ewwwww!

Anyway!....
HOT DOGGY!! ~~ Tazzy-boy is BACK! Good to see yer snippin' little fuzzy-butt back here fer a change. Forget Choo's cross-Altlantic english tho ---you're the one that shoourdoo tawllk fuhnny Taz! -- Yep!...Eyezza postin on da' Gold dis berry moment! Also, Dat green mile don't worry me none pal....cuz suck'n bad juju on the dead-horse plank is a piece-o'-pie fer this donkey!

And all of a sudden!... The Ninth-Wave comes a'splashing back up on the shore! This thread is all your fault anyway Ninth! Nobody's gonna' fergit THAT!! I saw ya' startin' to zero-in on that slithering-DummKopf! And with all dem many fly-eye-balls ..I'm sure you got a whole different scope for lining up yer target in the cross-hairs! Speak'n of splashing.. wanna' see how da zebra boy (notice the stripes) went look'n fer reminiscence from back in my foaling days in Aloha Land? -- Hang as many as you like or can...dude!! ~~~ but whatever ya' do... DO hang on!! YeeeHaawww! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU32QuXppkQ

Hey 'N' ~ HOLYcongrats on the Avi! -- bout time too! Heck I thought I had somehow psst ya' off ....or sumpn like dat. Only thing is... (and I'm hesitant to bring it up) but why not turn around so's you can see what's goin on! Shucks 'N' i'm jus kidd'n. Here's to hope'n you're pulling down some big-gravy bucks with all those listings you said you been up to crank'n out!

Shadeaux! ... I'm crushed! Ninth always gets all the glory (as well as the cookies). <sniff> Woe is me! Don't noboby luv a sweet little zebra no more?? --- Leaves nuth'n left to do at night but put the PFloyd on continuous replay with Nobody Home
Just hope yer enjoying the beautiful snowflakes my dear...way on up there in Breezy-Fresh flatland Tejas ~oh my!!! Brrrrrrr!! Never could get my BarB'Q going in Amarillo. <snicker> (oh yeah btw: rules say "no-whack'n when it's snowing" )

ok ya'll...that's the way it is then... Friday night... no shot at the flamer...no email...no inflatable... no fair! and NO FUN!! ~~
-- where's my gittar... just gonna' have to dump the tears for fears, and git howlin with them moody blues tonite!!



~Zeb~

dang it!! shoulda' put a couple smilies in there!

Glad that vermins stench is gone! I did make that phone call Miss M. Hopefully it helped. Did you also? Off for a night of cold refreshments and pool with the GF.
I hope they permanently banned that trash talker!

Hi Zebra,

quote:

This thread is all your fault anyway Ninth! Nobody's gonna' fergit THAT!!

UH-OH...(trying to make myself very tiny) Actually it's MY fault...Here's the link to a thread we all effectively hijacked before we really even knew each other

https://community.auctiva.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/628609941/m/1091067162

We had alot of fun tho...

So you're the surfer dude huh? Great video. I love the water but never tried surfing..kind of hard to surf on Lake Michigan Mostly I just end up just trying to get the dead fish out of my hair, ewww. OK not really, our beaches are pretty nice, tho I prefer a pool with a diving board

Taz, I never did get around to calling but you were right about the rest of your suggestions. I even got a return email from Auctiva Mike (thank you Mike). So at least after some effort we got results.

So Choo..you owe us now (you saw this coming didn't you) "One day I will ask a favor of you, and that day may never come" etc etc...I forgot how that line goes from the Godfather but you get my drift

Hmmmm, gonna REALLY have to think on this one for awhile

quote:

I hope I was of a some help too....

Of course, oh dear your avi suits you doesn't it

quote:

"One day I will ask a favor of you, and that day may never come..."

Someone's been watching too many mob films and as I am still catching up on the Soprano's (only up to series 5 at present) I could even think that all this was staged by the GodMother AKA Ms just so she could have a hold over me, hmmmmmm. Have to have a sit down with my lieutenants on this one

I haven't received a reply to my complaint via support yet, I hope the only reason the support desk appears unmanned for what seems to be a day at a time is due to a lot of beavering away on new software. I like to think that the more we can intercept calls for help the quicker that the the Auctiva software engineers can get all the extras written.

quote:

Hmmmm, gonna REALLY have to think on this one for awhile Big Grin Eek Big Grin

Oh and Ms M, don't think too hard don't want you rushed to the emergency room

Last but not least, thanks Taz

Hmmmmm...The GodMother...I like it
Makes me feel important

Yeah, usually when I think too hard I end up hurting myself But not this time..However if I end up in the ER I expect you to come visit me

quote:

haven't received a reply to my complaint via support yet

I think if YOU thought real hard you could figure out how to contact me...I'll tell you something good (I'm actually TRYING to be obtuse here) Hopefully you'll know what I mean. If you don't trust me by now you never will
OR you could just ask Taz....

Hey 'N' ~ HOLYcongrats on the Avi! -- Only thing is... (and I'm hesitant to bring it up) but why not turn around so's you can see what's

HOLY Whoa there big zebra! You really dumped a lot of stuff on us in one big ol plop. But I must say you covered most everything....zebs must have a good memory, besides being fast and multicolored....and you say WHO TALKS funny??????
Can it be turned around? That'd be kewl!

Hmmm yes has a sharp edged sound to it doesn't it? On the other hand it could be you are your best friends child's GodMother and they refer to you as the The Godmother of their child....
On me other forum, I am sometimes referred to Nenernator...has ring huh? I rather like it!

quote:

Nor did I. But suffice to say the dang thing is GONE! And that's what counts. We now know someone was up there busily working. Trusting us to take care of the forum. Yeah!!! when it works right that's how it works! (and you have de Mother with a phone)
Well, I really have an urget to talk to "some" of you more, via email, but with no addy's.... It's ok tho, cause I guess on this forum/board/community we gotta BE CAREFUL with certain types around.

Hey Zeb, the Nenernator says you talk out of your backside :-

Whoa there big zebra! You really dumped a lot of stuff on us in one big ol plop.

Sorry, no I'm not , couldn't resist that

Yep

I'd better hope that a 'Nenernator' is not a form of 'Terminator'

QUOTE: Actually it's MY fault..(trying to make myself very tiny) -- Yeah..that's a good idea! Shame on you! Guess I shoulda' known! ~ I'm not letting Ninth off the hook though. No doubt he enjoyed the attention waaay too much!

M~QUOTE: So you're the surfer dude huh? Errr... well (ahem..) I wish it were still true! ~~ But YEP! there WAS MANY A DAY in ole' Zeb's past! Cut my teeth on Oahu's Makaha Beach as a kid...and went back to Kauai last August for a lost-youth replay. No joy there however as the waves ain't the same. Just as well...got plenty wet but probably wouldn't be here today if they had been. Still beautiful-beyond-words though!

Soprano's!! ??? (( sorry ChooChoo...But YUK!! )) No disrespect mind you.... Just ~ YUK!! --- Ok maybe I'm just burned-out on all the garbage being offered on TV these last several years! Only thing worth a hoot anymore might possibly be some of the PBS, Nova, BBC specials or similar! But don't get me going on that!!

Well Choo buddy?...Ya know, I'm already a self-confessed major Pooh-pony ...so it's plenty ok if yer not really ...Just please don't send me to Coventry! That would break my heart.

zeb

quote:

Just please don't send me to Coventry!

What's wrong with Coventry, flattened during the last war looks fine now

Nevermind the Soprano's is very much a like or loathe, what I can't stand generally is American actors trying to speak with London accents, Yee-uck.

I hardly watch any TV now, 99% garbage, and the remaining 1% I have probably seen 3 or 4 times over the last 30 years !

Extra digital channels and satelite and the choice don't get any better, can spend more time searching through the TV guides than watching anything.

Oh yes, can't understand what you and Taz say a lot of the time, just have to skim over your dialogue and grab the jist of it

Anyway watchout for the Godmother, think she has gone on a power trip over that title

actors w/fake accents?? -- yeah..understood that one...true across the board i'd say!

And that's a double-affirmative on the umpteen-channels of digital s**t! ~~ 99% garbage! -- Well said!! Can't understand why I'm still paying for all that carp!!

Now Taz and I... well, we just gotta' keep our 'real' personalities a little obscured.. for stealth reasons..~ya' know?!!

and watch out for Miss GM's power-trip wrath?? --- GOTHCA' !!

i imagine it's about zzzzz-time for ya'...so g'night & sweet dreams Choo!

quote:

imagine it's about zzzzz-time for ya'

Hi Zeb, not quite, just gone 10pm here, I'm usually around 'til midnight, take a rain check on the sweet dreams for a couple of hours, thanks all the same

Geez! I go to work for ONE day and nobody posts! Whassa matter with a you (in my best GodMother voice)

But I DID see that Choo gave me a zinger on that other post

Must be that Sunday's are a day of rest Missy.

also.... someone said to "watch out!".... so I just been "watch'n out!"

Q?: ... is it better to leave a bunch o' little piles...rather than "one big ol plop"??

zeb

have you noticed it seems mostly around midnight?? hmmm!

'Morning!

No one is around very often any more

And I just wanted to say HI before I leave for work....Choo, I think I found the perfect 'gift' to send you but I'm still thinkin about it, looking for something better

Miss S has been real busy but says she'll be around now & then & says HI to everyone.

Zeb it looks like it's up to you to hold down the fort as they say..

Later

Choo, I think I found the perfect 'gift' Roll Eyes to send you but I'm still thinkin about it, looking for something better Wink

Well if you keep that up I will turn from grey to white before I see it, or perhaps that's the idea to let me worry about it so I go white earlier without having to age.

Ah, Ms M as helpful as ever

Hi ya'll. Thanks Miss M. You sure do take good care of me! Doncha dear friend?

Zeb, that midnight thing's part of our Dark Side. Huh, Miss M?
Me? Enjoy th' snow??? I love snow, period (not yellow o' course!). 'Specially gettin' snowed in.
Yeh, Ninth gets all th' cookies 'n' brownies. What can I say? That adorable li'l fly swept me off all eight o' my feeties 'n' flew me away on his gossamer wings with all th' mighty rescues, savin' me from th' horrors of my naive acceptance of Choo's VIP ticket (Hi Choo, you sly one, you!) which got me strapped unmercifully to th' cow catcher (yet again, not to be confused with a cattle guard ) screamin' fer help (woe is me!) while waitin' to become splattered bug guts in th' showdown 'tween him 'n' Jeff S!

N, I'm workin' on that website now... well, not right now obviously or I wouldn't be here. Eh, I only know a little bit... 'nough to get me by 'n' hopefully 'nough to keep me outa trouble. Love learnin' though.
I think it's okay to say what we sell, as it's alright to have links here that lead to wherever we want. Can't wait to get mine live and will put it in my siggy. I sell mostly vintage lingerie and some shoes and boots, pretty much vintage there too. A little other stuff occasionally but that's what I have th' most of & lingerie is where my passion lies, as my collection will attest to.

Taz, where ya be? You're as scarce as myself 'round these here parts lately. Just why IS that?

Anyone heard from Pete? Where's Jeff S & kbalona? Did I miss any regular posters here?

Hi Ninth...

What a mess of a post!

Hi there Miss S. Wouldn't you know it would take an eye catching lil' spidey gal in sexy lingerie to bring ol' Ninth back to the posting follies. (not that I had planned to stay away much longer anyway, can only lurk for so long. ) What does spyder lingerie look like anyway? Eight legs, eight eyes, eight....??? Whoa!!!

Yes, where ARE the missing posters? They're worse than me. They could at least check in once in a while!

Anyway Hi everybody. "I'll be BAAAAK", soon.

You two are just SO cute

I am even going to quit being a meanie....I put the hose away & threw the Raid out - (It wasn't working anyway)

Why howdy Miss M. Just checking the board before bedtime, and there you are. You're right, it wasn't working. I guess you just can't stop the tides of luv.

Taz, where ya be? You're as scarce as myself 'round these here parts lately. Just why IS that? Razz Cool

Hey all, I'm still around just getting ready for work right now. This crazy work schedule and the OT has me spinning in circles, not to mention my new found love. Trying to keep up with her and and spend quality time together does keep me busy the rest of the time. Working OT first shift Saturday and then switch to 3rd for Sunday night so not much chance of seeing me around this weekend, although I do try to check the board just cannot find much time to post .
The thread does seem to have slowed a good bit but it still has some legs

That Raid is hard to wash off, and stinks like hell!

Now I am confused, what is 'Raid' in GodMother terms

quote:

Where's Jeff S?

Right here. I see you people are up to 133 pages.

Must be a record. Record of what I don't know.

Do I have enough yet?

Choo - "Raid" is a brand of bug spray. (especially effective on 'spiders and flies', 'cept us. )

Jeff - Where ya been? Lurkin' like me I bet. Good of you to check in. Don't be such a stranger in these parts!

Taz - Don't be workin' so hard, you neglect the missy. Keep your stamina up.

Bug spray, phew, whispering ... takes courage to ask questions around here, never know what twisted conotation may be attached when Ms M is involved.

Hi JeffS long time no see in here, well at least you're lurking

A record of nothing better to do ??

No, that's demeaning the epic thread, it has evolved a life of it's own, probably find that one of us is really computer generated and provokes responses when it feels lonely, I wonder which of us it is ?

Could be Ms M, perhaps she wasn't talking bug spray afterall.

quote:

...probably find that one of us is really computer generated and provokes responses when it feels lonely, I wonder which of us it is ?

Must be one of our computer geeks. That means either Taz or you. Taz is too busy bending pretzels to be lonely. So who does that leave? Hmmmm?

Or so he says, but then again a geek is what the computer generated threader wants you to think to throw you off the scent.

I think it slipped up and really meant RAID and not raid

AAAhahahahaha

You guys are so GOOFY

>> Computer generated threader??????
>> Choo doesn't know what Raid is????
>> Geeks???

Oh, my ribs hurt (again) I'll be back in awhile, I just had to add my 2¢ ....



EDIT - Jeff, your post really made me laugh.."you people" You've posted here too on the epic thread so YOU are also one of us

Oh, my ribs hurt (again)

Good, serves you right

Oh come on now...

Is that any way to talk to someone whose going to send you a crateful full of God only knows what??

Oh, and watch out Choo....

These are the GodMother's toughest lieutenants. Scary huh!

Could have done with a few packs of that last week to deal with a particularly nasty case of verbal diahorrea

Mind you could also be useful for dealing with your lieutenants, are they cross dressing as men or women

Good grief, goodness knows what the GodMother looks like then, shudder . . . .

Choo you're in luck...I have a really nice picture of myself, luckily this was taken on a good day when I looked my best. But I still have to wonder why the guy with the camera ran away crying..

No more pretzels for me! No Sirree,I moved into the subterranean world. Now working in the coal industry, albeit above ground. Got my foot in the door of a multi -national company that is in a rapid expansion mode .
Now as fer da GodMothers Lieutenants, I do believe I saw those Molls at Magoo's a couple a weeks ago and had to send them packing, after informing them this is not that type of establishment O'course. To which they replied they were packin guns.
My reply naturally was you guys should not be dressed as woman because no-one here is interested in women packin guns. This naturally raises the question of is Miss M really Miss M AKA the GodMother really MR M and is there a Mini M running around also?
I guess I will leave Y'all to hash this out and hypothesize is it real or is it Mammorex?
Now Miss M or whatever your name is don't be fallin off your chair in a laughing fit.

Wakey, wakey must be time to get up by now ???

HA - when you were writing this I was going to dinner (at work). (Or do I have that backward???) If I have it backward it was only 0430 here, long time to go before I get up

Apparently I'm the only one other than Taz who works - Boooo....Hissss...not fair
I need to win the lottery

Almost forgot

TAZ - yep I did have to get the trusty old kleenex out Can't read these posts without it, especially when YOU'RE here

So you kicked my lieutenants out of Magoos, did ya? Poor old ladies No wonder they were a little cranky...look what they did to your car




(Yep, it was them that did it)

Done pretty fast using copy and paste-paste-paste. But the forum software seems to have some sort of limit (or something does) where it only shows a certain number of the icons. I can't find any error in the text that would make it stop showing all but the "wink" icons. Being there is no preview on messages, you can't experiment and play with the message until you get it right.

Miss M, that can't be you! Her hair's th' wrong color but I won't tell anyone... we'll let 'em think it is.
Hey, I'm workin' on an email to ya. Can't seem to keep 'em short.

Hi Taz. Sure am happy to hear all's goin' well for ya! Choo, I'm sleepwalkin' now, my normal state of mind.

Ninth, spyder lingerie looks normal, doncha know silly!? It's part o' my quick-change-disguise wardrobe. You're kissin' up now, aren't ya? Well then, I'm just gonna go pout!

N, where ya be girl? Been thinkin' about ya. Are ya gonna be one o' them with 100+ store items? I wonder if I could keep up with that much, gettin' it posted and knowin' which is which. It's th' similar ones I worry most about gettin' mixed up.

What, no Zeb lately? Why? Is it Spring-like there? Is that it?

Hey y'all, I'm back!

Sorry I've been missing in action for so long, but I have been up to my eyes in work and personal stuff, and just not had the time to come and play

So, what have I missed? I can't plough through all the missed posts, so who wants to bring me up to speed?

Missed you all, hope you are all OK.

Hey, welcome back Pete, we were getting concerned about you around here, and what's happened here since you were away, what makes you think we have any idea back later

Hey Pete good to see you back . Starting to think we had lost you. As for what is going on? well this is a thread about nothing! So of course not much of anything and a whole of nothing with a bit of sanity mixed in for good measure.
Has been a couple of IDIOTS posting in the real world that have called certain thread members a few off color things and been sent packing. Best bet is spend a few hors and get caught up as you get the chance

Hey Choo & Taz, nice to be back - I will try to catch up. And there has been some unrest? Ooooh, bad. I hope you have been taking care of the girls while I have been AWOL? What am I saying, 'course you have!

OK, off to have some nosh, will pop back in during the week hopefully. See ya!

Hey Pete! I'm so happy to see you here!
I know we were all gettin' worried about ya, and moreso as time went on. Now don't you ever scare us like that again, ya hear!?

For you Ninth...


Happy St Patty's Day all o' ya'll!

Oops! Forgot to say... well, it's better than nothin' and it does work. I'd rather have 'edit' than preview with no edit.

Howdy Groupers!

Back in the saddle again (kinda' half-way tho) after a short trip last week -- as always, incurs a lot of catching-up to do.

Hey there Shadeaux! -- Good to see you've been hang'n out more regularly. And yes you guessed it right about Springtime here! Just hope it lasts before leaping directly into our heavy-heat summertime swelter!

Haven't had time to read back through all of last week's activity yet...but I see that JeffS has finally decided to re-visit the asylum recently. Actually Jeff... I thought the smilie-glitch was probably some kind of 'smilie_stack-overflow'..or possibly a 'grin-buffer overrun' [Jeez! ~ and I thought I was inclined to be a little too smilie-happy! ]

And what's this??....St. Peter has finally returned from his sabbatical in Egypt!!! (or wherever you went to for so long Pete!). May have to call you Phoenix-Pete amigo..(cuz Sphinx-Pete doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well. ) Of course I shouldn't talk..as I may have to drop outta' sight from time to time too. Kinda like Ninth seems to be doing lately..(maybe you should start a 'lurkers-anonymous' thread Ninth. Could shoot for a record 'minimum' number of posts [zero!] )

Hey ChooChoo! You should be seeing a little shift-in-the-wind towards Spring there soon as well. At least I would hope so! Would be happy to send you some of our sunshine here...but the super-fax machine has been a outta' whack lately.

Haven't seen 'N' over the last couple pages I quickly scanned thru. Where you be m'lady? Finally get rained-in up there? Don't be shy just cuz Taz is yapping it up around here again. (Hey Taz... good to see yer taking a few moments to get back in the fray! I know you've had a lot to do with the recent job & domestic changes). P.S. Taz, don't mind the minor hail-dents on the Merc ~ Happens here quite a bit...we just ignore it!

And lastly... Missy! Ya' know I don't really think anyone is buy'n that picture as one of your better portrait shots. Aside from the wrong hair color... I don't think the shoes are really you either! Maybe you could model them snow-boots for us!

later looners & lurkers... gotta' trot off for the moment. Hope to check back in tonite if possible. ~Zeb

Hi Zeb. Yeh, I sure like seein' all th' activity goin' on 'round these here parts lately. Hang on! Don't fall outa th' saddle now!

We understand work & personal stuff, but I thought you were in jail or somethin (were ya?)

I can't believe Miss S is actually here the same time I am - where's my email Missy?? Oh, and what's with the monkey? Monkey Business?? (I already know the answer to that

And hi to Zeb and Taz and of course Choo...Miss S, help me think of something to send Choo...he already sent me all his blow up dolls, I don't know if I can top that

Pete, have you read all our new pages since you've been gone? Let's face it, it's not as much as it would have been a couple months ago. And we DID talk about you

Miss S, it's snowin here again in case ya want to come over...I don't think it's ever gonna end

Later.....


OOPS-lost one of my dancin pics

Hey Sexy Pete, bout time! We was all a worried bout ya. Glad you are back in the mix.

A thread with no posts? Wouldn't that be kinda like a stripeless Zebra with no pooh? Let me get back to you on that, ok?

Miss M, sorry no eBay Live this year. I so want to go too but just can't make it happen.

Thank you Miss S for that picture of you in your monkey disguise. You sure do know how to turn a fellers head with that awfully potent come hither look. And all that talk about your special lingerie, and poutin' in all, and all in that sweet Texas accent that has me in your spell. No wonder I'ma still lustin after them cookies with the special ingredients. Dang! Methinks ya got me good!!!

Oh me oh my! I just tried SSS'ing through pages of periolous posting.....I'm glad to see that there is ebb and flow here, some in some out, then some in some out then. then then.
I haven't been lurking....no! I have been very busy. Yes the other forum has had some stuff to tend to, couldn't wait!!! And then some personal stuff... .urghhh! but I'maround.
Hopin to get back on track next week. Back to business back to foolin around.
So that's where I've been and zebpoohba, it's raining raining raining, when it's not the sun is shining; and don't forget to mix in some sleet and hail. Typical Oregon spring weather. Flowers coming up, trees blooming and all that stuff, adding some color to the black and white we've had for 3 mos.
So, til next week....adios amigos. I will heading for the Oregon Coast for 10 days, but will have access to the internet. Plan to keep up better....yeah more!

So Ninth & Miss S...what's up with the monkey?? Or would I be better off not knowing

Yep, same here, spring well under way, the odd coldish day below 10 deg C cold nights but looking good, barely a frost for weeks now.

No snow here grey, gray or white

Hey ya'll. Poppin' in 'n' out right quick. Ditto

What's th' difference between grey and gray?

Hi Miss M. I see you over there!

I was going to send over some of my infamous curry chicken for you, but there always seems to be a little bit of a problem with it......too spicy, ya think??

Hi Susanne, Shirley, Roy & Zebra (who is Zebra? Did I miss a name change?).

Was I in jail, Good one! No, just busy, honest.

I must admit, I don't like the sound of Sphinx-Pete either, sounds too much like sphincter, if ya get my drift!

BTW, Susanne, just seen your message to me via eBay, sorry, hadn't noticed it before, so wasn't ignoring you, really!

quote:

hadn't noticed it before, so wasn't ignoring you, really!

Oh sure, that's what they all say

You really HAVE been busy not to even check your mail. Hmmmmm...Choo was going to start a poll (I think it was Choo??) about what you've been up to all this time. Might be interesting

Zebra is relatively new to our thread..no name change.

BTW, who's Roy?????

Oh man I'd hate those long winters....long enough here. We have the rain tho...still the black and grey get outdone by the green even on a dark day. Now I see a couple of trees outside with reddish branches, getting ready to bust out. Others, all I see is black branches and moss on em to boot!
I can't see the ground from up here, well unless I go to the window, so can't see the pretty flowers coming up. Have a couple of pansies on my deck, that helps.
Have flowers out in my garden, but can't see it from up here.
Well, blah blah blah... lots of jabberin, not much content.
Now yall be good, since I can lurk now I can tell what the oneryiest of youse is doing..... OK who's got the sun?????

Ya know? preview on here would be nice, must not be a function of this software.....geesh! And I cannot use Mozilla in the community, can on listing etc., to spelt check fer me. Guess I'll have to bother the forum techs one of these days to see why.......ramblin rose!

Hey! I posted another, and it's not here! So much for countin on the message getting through.....I was saying hi to all and whining about being so busy....among other things....oh yea and about the Grey Gray thing! dang it!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey N,

How ya be?? Everything here is grey and gray...trees & flowers still dead and awaiting 6" of snow tomorrow..oh goodie I don't know who's got the sun but it ain't me

I think it's Ninth.....

G'mornin'. Or more like this

That's what I was gonna ask.
Surely that ain't Choo. Is it you Choo? Hmmmmmm? ruhroh

Zeb (Howdy Zeb), well he's quite th' character Pete, a fellow Texan (cool, huh?!) and I'm glad he showed up 'round here. Jeff S (Hi Jeff) drops by occasionally. And then there's N (Hey N) who pokes her head outa her shell on a purty regular basis.

Just to cheer you up Ms M the weather has taken a real dive for Easter, right on cue despite being the earliest since 1913.

Strong northerly winds, sunshine, rain, snow, and hail so far today.

Not going anywhere, got more sense, sitting writing listings while outside I see bright sunshine, and rain together, ah, happy memories of Easter's from my childhood.

Sounds like you're in Chicago Choo

The sun is FINALLY out today but we still have snow on the ground (brrrr)

And yep the crumb disease is everywhere and it's OLD news already...

Ya know what we need?????????????



EDIT - Can you even remember your childhood? Soooooooooooooo many years ago?????

Sorry, couldn't resist

Yep, the best memories last the longest

Oh, the Lunacy button didnt work I still feel normal, silly me I forgot that is my normal state

Snowing again, but far too warm to settle, chuckle and blue sky approaching again

Or until senility and CRS kick in.....

What were we talkin' about?

Hey there Miss S

I think we were talking about Choo's senility, but since I have CRS I can't be sure

Hey Miss M (who's no longer a Yankee ).
I thought it was about best memories lasting longest. CRS hard at work!

I could be wrong... but it seems to me ya'll were talking about...






.......................................

But given the time of the month....
I'm not really too surprised!

H A P P Y ~ E A S T E R

Happy Easter everyone!

~~Hey Zeb, what will I do for lunacy now...you stole all my buttons

Zeb, whatcha mean they don't work????

Sorry Susanne, I really didn't see it. The email account I have linked to eBay is one I only check now and again, so I didn't see it until I was able to sit down at my PC for a while. Nothing sinister or funny about why I have not been around (unfortunately), just sheer pressure of work. There's been some big things going on, and I have had to be involved a lot.

As for Roy, oooops, but I thought that was what we ended up deciding was Ninth's real name? Or is my memory playing up (not unusual) - I can't go back through 136 pages to check!

Wow, just look at all the tumbleweeds blowing thru' the ol' ghost town

Yep it's creepy alright...N O B O D Y around?? It was bound to happen sooner or later. I can't believe we lasted THIS long

And yes Pete, your mind is playing tricks on you
Not Roy, it starts with an 'S' (of course)

H'mmmm well I never knew that 'Roy' started with an 'S', the knowledge one can acquire here is staggering

For the last time...THERE IS NO ROY!

(kidding)...'least I don't think there is.

I seem to be turning into a lurker, gotta snap out of it

Well Ms Lurkeress if there was a Roy he must be feeling rather low and dejected now after that little outburst . . . .

Choo, are YOU feeling low and dejected???? You're not Roy by any chance are you?????

Nope

Wait! Wait! We demand a recount, there were hanging chad everywhere!

Honor America
Melbourne, FL

Ok now....WHO'S CHAD??????
And why are we hanging him?

Ooo that's bad, even for me

Fee, fie, fo, fum, I smell the blood of a newbie in this forum . . . .

Calm down Choo and leave them alone...Just because you're scared to pick on me doesn't mean you should pick on others. That's my job
Hee Hee

Now see there Ninth.... that's what I'm talking about. Poly-entendres are everywhere!

H_A is clearly proffering implication by reference to the issue of uncertainty attending the
ubiquitous Votomatic recorder...
but how many folks also catch the subtle ambiguity of meaning reflected with the use of
the participle "hanging" as a "dangling" modifier?

And since Choo so gracefully alluded to my own habit of "backside-talking" (pg.132)...
I'm at liberty to point out that only an 'Elite' Englishman might relate to a Giant sense of smell.
Isn't that right Jack?.... (or is it Blunderbore? )

Oh well... the drawing of distinctions when walking the razor's edge of Acute Scrutiny...
... is perhaps the daunting plight of all frenetic Zebras.

Not to worry H_A....
If no one has already done so... I will admonish you to maintain a strong and tenacious
sense of humor while traipsing in these parts. -- Welcome!
oh..and BtW... Semper Fi !!



Zeb

Good grief what sort of grass does our resident Zebra eat to exude such an oratory of incomprehensible verbal gymnastics

Ah, poor GodMother, feeling all alone, picking a fight with me over who should 'welcome' a new 'stranger' to these parts.

Good grief indeed Choo!!

Choo...
I see it's a little breezy out your way this afternoon. A bit chilly too! -- Watcha' think? Oxford gonna' pull it off in the 154th Boat Race this year?

Also, with respect to "incomprehensible" verbal oratory....
I suppose there's just no accounting for one's taste in words.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7320452.stm

Boat race, no idea, forgot it was anytime soon, never cared.

As for taste in words from your link above I quote :-

"George Bush gives me a taste similar to the crusty potato bit on top of a cottage pie."

The guy did not say whether that was a compliment or not I love cottage or otherwise known as shepard's pie, personally I would replace "the crusty .. " with "lemon"

quote:

personally I would replace "the crusty .. " with "lemon"

No doubt your choice of terms is widely understood. In this case however, I believe there's little risk to even an English Gentleman's reputation for including the term "crusty". My basis for this conclusion comes from observing numerous disgusting crusty phenomena continuously reappearing in our back yard. We assume the baking sun has something to do with it.

I too am quite fond of Shepherd's Pie. My two canine pets are also enthusiastic fans as well... but that's not so surprising for German Shepherds. They seem to enjoy presenting us with their 'gifts' on a regular basis...usually in the back yard.

Again.. it must be the hot sun...I've never seen George wear a hat.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHA
Verbal Gymnastics?????????
You guys are TOO funny!
Z, I went to college but I have NO idea what you said Must be Choo's senility creeping up on me

Knock it off Choo

Well Hi there Missy! Wow..you were up late last night! Don't you work on the weekends?

I was just basically telling Choo that I wasn't very impressed with Bush either. About as much as when my dogs leave their piles out in the back yard. Perhaps I shouldn't have included the part about the hot sun.

It's just that I have a little trouble with the idea of somewhere between $12 to $13 Billion per month (yes..PER MONTH) .. being spent to bring thousands of our boys back home in body-bags. I don't mean to whine unnecessarily. Maybe I'm just being a wimp. However, my closest (Marine, Air Force, and Military Intelligence) buddies seem to feel about the same. We've all collected college degrees as well...but those weren't necessary for recognizing poor judgment and the huge mistakes we believe have been made.

Sorry...I'll try to do better and stay on-topic here (whatever that is).

Hey all! Just popping in to say HOWDY! Finally got a day off with a bit of free time. I hadn't checked the thread since the 18th! Wow I was going through withdrawal I think????
I sure missed my daily serving of lunacy. Thanks fer da button Miss M. Of course Zeb had to turn it upside and just make it TOTAL craziness.
Well I am off to enjoy a bit of Q.T. with the GF.
Off ter da mall we go! Batten down da hatches and full speed ahead. Look out credit cards your gonna get a hurtin today

And there he was, gone again !

Must be Choo's senility creeping up on me

Can't take the credit for that, you're way ahead of me

Well it's one beautiful day out there for us today! Just now came back in from working outdoors for awhile. Had to get outside and try to mellow-out a bit from this morning's gritty start. Please excuse the rant. Not many things get me wound-up very easily...but there are a few.

Yes by golly...there he was Choo! Zing-Zang!...and gone again! Good to see ya' popping-in (albeit briefly!) Taz !!

I'm headed outta' here for the moment also. There's still a couple hours daylight left..and plenty of spring-prep chores waiting for me over in the boat shed. I've never understood how watercraft can require so damned much maintenance for such relatively few hours of utilization! Autos and trucks aren't nearly such a pita for all the usage they're put to. I'm sure there's a conspiracy at work behind it somewhere!

Cheers to all!
~Zeb

Rant, can't blame you at all on that very sore issue, feel the same about our political leaders action over all that.

Watercraft ... it's nature's way of saying keep off, I'd go along with that, I don't mix well with water

quote:

BWAAAAHAHAHAHA

ooooooooh! That's downright spooky Missy!!

hope that's not something you learned in college.

..makes me nervous to imagine you getting ready to throw out another eye-splitting graphic of some mind-boggling kind or another.

quote:

... it's nature's way of saying keep off

That just might be Choo. Certainly an interesting thought.

But I'm not so sure. If that were really the case...then I would think water would simply resist anything attempting to tread upon it. As it turns out, every time I've ever tried to walk on water, I've always been quite welcome to "come-on-in!". Invariably I've very nearly drowned in the attempt.

That's the limit of my swimming skills, straight down

Well if you do sink permanently you won't do it again in a hurry because the water consumes you.

The result on watercraft is the same but by corrosion and rot, resulting in sink and consume once more.

There's a link there

G'morning all (our 'all' is very small now)
I see I didn't miss much.....
Choo how can you not like the water??? I LOVE the water. I'm counting the days til it's warm enough to go swimming again. Don't like boats tho, wonder why that is?? Any ideas Z?

Wasn't there a movie about a monster that if you got him wet something terrible would happen?

Gremlins?

EDIT - almost forgot, HI TAZ!! Come back...we thought you forgot about us Wow you & GF have been together for awhile now

quote:

Don't like boats tho, wonder why that is?? Any ideas Z?

Really can't say...unless perhaps you had a previous unpleasant experience? (like getting seasick ). That might explain it!

quote:

Wasn't there a movie about a monster that if you got him wet something terrible would happen?

Yeah Missy...I vaguely recall there was some kind of movie like that. I think it was about some gal on a road trip or something. Kinda' strange as I remember...cuz it also had a tornado, a funky little dog, and a wizard. The monster had a rather bad attitude... and was from the East I believe.

quote:

Choo how can you not like the water???

Well, I was always nervous of it, finally took the plunge at school, second lesson felt like I nearly drowned after finally get the courage up to pushing my self off the edge of the pool and got tangled up with an underwater swimmer. Frightened the life out of me and pool water tasted foul. Went back again the next week but I just froze in the water. Taken me years to get into a boat let alone into the water again.

Smallest boat I can get into is a river bus, not row or speedboats too small (too low in the water) as yet, swimming pools went near one a fews years ago where our lad was swimming just couldn't go through the doors to the pool, sad, silly, but maybe one day possibly I will get back in again

edit - yes 'Gremlins'

Yeah yeah, very funny Zebra I forgot about the wicked witch, I was thinking of Gremlins, but that was not feeding them after midnight (or something like that)

Well in about a month I guess I'm gonna be around ALOT...found out today they're closing down the hospital where I work (not a complete surprise)

http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/stories/2008/03/31/d...51.html?ana=from_rss

So I guess while I'm sending resumes' and collecting unemployment, I'll have plenty of time for swimming. Amd Auctiva Boards. Guess I'll have to amp up my Ebay sales too.

Pretty depressing tho...I really loved that place

I will be taking donations to keep myself out of the gutter
