Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are.....

Doesnt that suck!! When I change my signature, it changes all my old signatures

Hmmm - I wonder why it's got quiet here - I for one am bored at reading about 'I should have won, AS sucks' over and over. Thus I only come by a couple of times a week.

While you were 'away', I did get into a heated email discusssion with the person on the other end of the Suggestions page. My impression was that they were on a huge downer and all my ideas "wouldn't work" so I won't be clicking that link again...

BTW - my suggestions included a revamp of the AS site, getting rid of the dead-wood (eg. out of date FAQs, making stuff work that doesn't, creating an Affilaites section that worked etc) so they were all pretty good (again, IMHO) so I was suprised to be shot down in flames...

So R2, AS are wanting suggestions, but just not your suggestions, thats not very nice now is it? I ,personally, have liked all your suggestions.

I still have an open support case that someone told me they would be working on, but it hasnt been finalised yet.

I got the impression that the geezer I was talking to either owned AS or was some sort of manager. He was definitely walking round with a black cloud over his head like in:


R2

I did start sifting through excuses for not being present:

i.e

• I am misunderstood (Nobody, other than you, seems to understand my jokes)
• I am deeply offended (R2 is always rude about my jokes)
• I am ignored (Each time I started a serious topic, they all wander off and discuss food)

Then I thought I had better be honest (for a change)

I am embarrassed

I looked down the list of topics on the front page and discovered that I had started about 50% of them in your absence.

Time to shut up!

Paul

I was holding my new grandbaby all day yesterday! It's the first one that doesn't live in another state, or country! Sorry, just couldn't spare the time!
Now, I must go dust my house. It's gotten away from me. (I hate dusting) To do a good job it takes about 2 hours! And that wouldn't be a good job in my mother's opinion. I do not crawl under the table and dust the chair legs, or every single door and window frame. I'll do that maybe once a year! I'd rather pull weeds!! heh

If you want to get really good at it,
... you can come to my house and practice.

Ugg, no thanks! It's not something that I wish to be good at!

Aw now Paul, dont be like that. Nobody gets my jokes either, but that doesnt stop me.

R2 is nasty to everyone, its part of his charm, just ignore him (seems to work for AS Support )

Mg, I am particularly anal about dust and I am sure my Mother pulls out her white gloves and inspects the window sills and chair legs when I am not watching - sooooo, no dust here

OK, who messed with the message typing page since I was here last?

Hi Lexie! If you don't like dust, you'd hate it here now. We had a big dust storm again yesterday.

Oh, you forgot the alien abduction excuse for disappearing from the boards.

Christine!!!!!!! You are back

Did the aliens *probe* you anywhere interesting???? Oh no - dont answer that.

Were they polite? Did they eat funky stuff?

I just decided to check this place and see if any of the old gang is still in here. How've you been?

I think most of us are kinda here in some form or another.

I am glad you popped in - you gave me a break from Tyler's molars and Turbo Lister.

So he's teething now? He's growing up fast!

I plan to spend the weekend do end of term stuff for school.

Have you found any more haunted items?

Uh, hello Dot, Period, or whatever your name is.

OK, you changed your user ID from a period to an exclamation mark. And you have around 500 posts. So you can't be Rick or Lexie or Mrs. M.

!.Hi Christine.!

Rick? Hello! I haven't seen you in a while. Sniper Deity??? So what will you become when you hit 10,000?

"*** Sniper Without a Life ***".

How's degree going? Reading "The Forsyte Saga".

LOL

Tyler has 11 teeth as of this morning and another very close to coming through.

I wonder who that . ! person was.

Hi Falcon Gal!! Good to see you back! Guess you have been busy working on that degree.

Hi Lexie, Rick, and Mrs. M.!

Yes, school's still running my life. And it'll be taking up the entire weekend. There are some pretty tempting jobs out there for people who already have the degree so hopefully it'll be worthwhile.

Let's see, with 11 teeth, that would mean he's right about at the age where he keeps you running, right?

Rick, it sounds like you haven't given up on the reading. The banned book list is still my personal reading list for whenever there's time.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to talk much until after May 5th. Have a great weekend everybody!

Mg, any news as to when your son will be heading home? My grandson was home last week(marine) with his girlfriend. Her Mom is in the NG and stationed over there. She'll be there for another year and a half. I can't imagine having your Mom in harm's way!

Still waiting to hear. We don't get any news until they are in Kansas. It sure would be a nice Mother's day present if he got home this week.

Mg, it would surely be the best!!
EWWW, I have a pukey Alexis today. Think she has a "bug".Guess I'll not get to take anywhere today.

Alexis,

Being sick is a real bummer! Hope your feeling better very soon!!

I've been popping in less since all that chat about the Iraq war, to be honest.

eBay, recipies, gardening, even babies - but politics is really not an enjoyable subject for me.

Sorry, but I don't think it was "politics", but family members that were under discussion!
You know you can always start another topic and we will join in!!! We want you to post, so, if you don't enjoy the subject, start one that you do!

Thanks Jake! I showed it to her and she tried to type back to you! She is better now...just a 3 year old bug...not the bug, her!

I suppose that I've really illustrated my reasons here - I regard you lot as my friends and I don't want to offend anyone....

I actually enjoyed the bits about various people's family members - I have family members in the forces too, so I know how worrying it can be, but there were some other political opinions expressed that I was itching to reply to and I knew it would just cause an argument, which wouldn't be at all appropriate in this nice, chatty sort of a place. If I want to argue there are boards I am a member of that can produce that just by saying "Hello"!

BTW, I had waffles for tea yesterday - a friend bought them for me from Costco (which I think is an American shop) and they were lovely!

SS

Hi Squeak.... I hope I did not offend you by any statement I may have made. I was only trying to be supportive and appreciative of the sacrifices so many are making. Please continue to post.

Alexis

Glad to hear you are feeling better!

Squeaky, glad you enjoyed the waffles!!

Jake, Alexis said tank you!!

Very, very pretty,Jake!
