Jennie, dear, you need an English/American dictionary

I know!! Lol I suck :P

We have breakfast lunch and dinner and that's it :P aside from various snacks

Hey Jennie! :)

Hi unky :) how are you doing?

Just got from the bed Jennie. The air is rather cold... as for all the previous winter days. But it's OK. How do you do?

Haha I'm about to go to bed :P you on the other side of the world are you?

I'm good. Stressing over bills, child, new babysitting job.

But you know.

A nice daiquiri makes it all better ;)

LOL! You have to babysit now? The financial crisis huh? Yeppers, on the other side of the world! ;)

Yup, daiquiri is good. I'd like to taste one...

Good Night Jennie, and Good Morning Unky.

Hehe

Yeah the heat is killing us too, 116 today, 115 tomorrow. UGH.

Hi joe :) I'm not leaving quite yet :) how are you doing?

Tired, but good. Almost 1 am.
Got your email.
Well I am leaving now. Lol, I know just got here.

Lol OK. Its only 10pm here. Good night hon. Sleep well.

Hi Joe, bye Joe...

Hi kids.

I'm here for a bit. Watching the storm. The power went out for a while, lit candles, watched the lighting and wind blowing, it was cool.

We're on tornado watch, but I think the worst of the storm will pass us in an hour or so.

Fun times. :)

Ooh nice. Ill trade you for this unbearible heat with DEAD winds and clear skys.

ooh nice. ill trade you for this unbearible heat with DEAD winds and clear skys.

You sure? Tornados aren't a lot of fun. Things tend to get blown away, people die, bad stuff all around.

Yeah I know... but ill trade you if we can figure out a way to make everyone safe :P

I've seen a movie about tornadoes long ago... weird things they are, ripping homes apart, kidnapping cars and putting them kilometres away in an awful state... :eek:

Keep your twisters. I'll settle for the occasional himacane where it rains sideways for three days.

Hey Cats! :)

Hi Unky. 'Sup?

Nothing very interesting... exploring the forum and the 'old skin'

I am not ready to try different skins, yet. I'm still learning how to operate with this one.

The old skin is cool. It's just that the reps are not displayed in posts. You'll only see them in a member's profile.

You can see who visited your own profile, make comments on their profile, add 'event reminders' these will require the agreement of a mod though. I tried and thought that I did it the wrong way, but it seems that I've sent the request to the mods twice :eek:

You can also have the calender, where you can see the birthdays of our members. For example, today, 19 July is marked with a certain number, when you put your mouse on it, it displays the members having their birthday on that date.

Hey unky.. whats crackin?

Been playing around with the new skins too,I may have made 1 or 2 boo boos but no one has said anything.. yet!

As sure,its good to try something new.

That does sound interesting. Since I begged Ben for mod powers in bug threads I have to figure out how to use them. I'm getting there.

Hey Red! :)

In a little bit of pain today after running the 10k yesterday,although its spurned me on to get back into running.
Forgot how much I enjoyed it.
Have a shocking blister,and sore hips,we went over a wooded area,I'm more used to a flat surface.

The USMC cured me of that vice. The only time I run anymore is to the loo.

Ah cats,do not miss your lungs burning,the blisters,and competition..

Got ahead of my old rival yesterday,pushed it hard,but I'm suffering today.
So so worth it!

Mine too are hurting a little. I think I overdid myself yesterday at the gym. But it was fun! :)

Can't beat a natural high unky!

ah cats,do not not miss your lungs burning,the blisters,and competition..

got ahead of my old rival yesterday,pushed it hard,but im suffering today.
so so worth it!

Nope, nein, mais non, unh unh, never going to believe it. The only thing running does is make you die tired.

Make you die tired... no way!

The sound of your own breathing,the pounding on the ground,that mental space that you go into too,nothing in your head but the next step,hitting the wall,and pushing your body for more...
The endorhpins flooding your body,the sense of achievement when you beat miss I'm so bloody brilliant...

That was actually a quote from a Marine sniper whose favorite speed was about 10 feet in a hour and a half. Dude was invisible.

I much prefer swimming as outdoor exercise.

Proud of you Red.

Thanks stringer... proud of myself too.

Outdoors?
Exercise?

What are those! :confused:

I prefer swimming indoors Cats. Then, there wouldn't be any sun dazzling your eyes. That did so often happen to me at the time when I swam in Saturday afternoons... :(

I have to go to bed now. Bye Alty, Joe, Shazzy, Stringer!

Later guys! Have a good day!

Hi everyone what have I missed? Anything interesting?

Hi jennie, how you doing :) (p.s please don't jump on my back today, it hurts quite a bit, thanks in advance :) )

Yes sir :) no back today :)

*rubs bears back instead* is that better?

I'm good. The kids are driving me nuts. I told you I started babysitting last week? Well, my duaghter and her 2 year old are butting heads SO bad today, and the 2 month old has a cold, so getting her to drink her bottle without getting upset is a pain. God I forgot what it was like to have little ones around. My daughter has been a big girl for so long lol

A little, thanks :)

Lol poor jennie, I re-he-healy don't envy you there, but good luck all the same :)

Actually jennie I'm of for a bit, I'm dropping off in my chair and I can't stay awake much longer, hope everything goes OK for you, cya later :)

I've told you a zillion times. I can't upload pictures!!! I don't have the required cable to link the camera to the puter, nor my mum's or lil sis mobile to the puter (theirs have camera). Memory card you say? neither of them use memory card. I don't have a card reader. The only way I can get pictures uploaded is that someone lends me a cable, or takes the picture for me, transfer it to his/her puter, sends it to me, then I upload. But few (or none) would say:

"I'll take a picture of your dog!"

I would seriously love to take pictures of my dog and post it. It's just impossible for me for the time being. :(:(:(:(

Unky were you saying here that you basically can't post pics?
Ha ha Just picking.

I can't post pics, unless someone transfers them from mobile, camera or whatever to their computer. I don't have any cable or memory card slot on my puter.

No web cam either?

I was only picking Unky since you sounded so frustrated in that post. How are things today?
Hey bear!!

no web cam either?

Hi Bear! :)
Nope bear :(

Oops, I forgot Sunny, hey Sunny! :)

I'm feeling quite strange today... I've maybe got some fever... :( This morning, my throat was aching and I was coughing. Seems that I've got another cold :(

Oops, I forgot Sunny, hey Sunny! :)

I'm feeling quite strange today... I've maybe got some fever... :( This morning, my throat was aching and I was coughing. Seems that I've got another cold :(

Oh oh! Got to get you some chicken noodle soup then. Doesn't that cure it all?

Hey unky,how are you feeling?

There's pasta today. I've been eating two big oranges though... they were each 9cm in diameter (or 3.5 in)

Good man yourself,
I have a greek tortoise with a runny nose.. not good,with the vet this morning,then had to travel 20k to a different guy,got him sorted though.

Lash in those oranges unky.

Hey red!
What's all this old and new skin talk??
I was seeing that you guys were talking about it and I was going to check it out. Like you can see birthdays and whatever?? How can I do that?

Hey red!!
Whats all this old and new skin talk???
I was seeing that you guys were talking about it and I was going to check it out. Like you can see birthdays and whatever??? How can I do that?

Hey sunny,the new skins are cool,I like them,but gets a bit of getting used to,go into your profile and edit)i think) and there is a list of stuff and tick or untick... ah dam, I'm system blind,I can give you directions to get here,but not around a computer!

Unky,will be able to point you in the general direction,he's like the brains of the outfit!

Well maybe I can figure it out.

Good job on the run girl! I can't even run across the road to save my life! Kills me.

OK Unky, about this skin thing? How do I do it?

Hi sunny
Hi unky
Hi red
Hope your mondays going well :)

Sunny in options (I think) after you go to your profile you can change the skin from the default, change it to the bottom one, 'default style'

Thanks bear I will try that. I think I was in there and did something and it didn't appear different. Will my page change?

Holy Moly!
My whole page changed right in front of me! Yowser!

The backgroung and layout will change, from whate and blue (now) to orange and blue (default style) although a lot of people (me included) fond it a lot harder on the eyes, bu it does have more things you can mess around with :)

I was out for diner... I thought I posted : "Off for diner, BRB" but forgot to hit the post button... :/

Go there:

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/profile.php?do=editoptions

Scroll down to the bottom most part, you'll see the "Forum Skin" heading. Choose the 'default style' to see the old skin of AMHD. I'm actually using this now. I'll be looking for the other differences there may be.

Hey Bear and Red! :)

Oops, didn't know you already posted... I'm running a bit slower today. :(

No worries unky, we've all done that, leaveing and thought we'd said goodbye :D

Thanks guys. I have it now. I am going to try and use it a bit and see. I agree it's a bit rough on the eyes. But maybe because it's a change.

Yea maybe, glad I could help :)

I noticed you can't read all the greenie comments though. Hmmm... I like seeing those.

Yea that and the lot of orange seem to be the only downside

All right who can we complain to? I like it though. I really do. Just that one thing I don't care for. The orange I can tolerate.

Lol I'm the otherway around I'm not really bothered about the rating system its all the orange, I once heard that orange is the colour that causes a lot of aggression, so all the angry people you see here might have that skin on :D

Oh oh.
Well you better watch for my personality change then. If it happens I will change back quickly.

Moving right off the subject of skins..
Anyone going anywhere nice for the holidays?

My two eldest are going to italy for 2 weeks with their dad,well supposed to be,they don't want to go,they would prefer to stay at home and torment me.

Lol calm down sunny :D

Nope, staying here on my own, I have a fair few things to do and prepare for so it all works out for the best really :D

Hey bear,what's crackin today?
What time of day is it where you are?
What bloody season is it?

Forgot unky is in winter,and I'm in summer..
Wonderful weird world.

I stay home mostly. Went camping for a bit. I am planning another short camping trip in a few weeks. But I just like to enjoy the summer home. We have a new pool this year so its been a bit nicer to just float around and watch my boy play.

OK going to the gym now. Be back in a bit.
Later kids!!

Stay out of trouble red. Or at least wait for me.

hey bear,whats crackin today?
what time of day is it where you are?

forgot unky is in winter,and im in summer..
wonderful weird world.

Hey red

I'm crackin :D, kind of pushed my body a bit too hard yesterday and my shoulders and legs are paying the price.

I'm sort of in between summer and winter I guess, that trasition point, where its sunny and warm, rainy and humid, or sunny and cold, and switches between those throughout the day, everyday :D

Will do sunny..

I'm heading for a weekend to the aran islands with brendan(our first weekend away dom dom doommm)

Other then that,going to drum up some funds for college in September.

I feel your pain bear,going getting right today after the run on Saturday,I'm getting old.
In my head I'm still 27 but my body is saying,yeah right,dream on!

Later sunny, enjoy yourself :)

Well done on that run, (I think I said that before but it's a really big accomplishment :))

As for what wore me out wasn't as big as your run, but it was fun, it was a pity it rained and what I was wearing was so absobing :D

You're getting old, you're getting old?!

... my knee's going out slowly. Can't run more than 2 miles without it hurting.

... I'm only 23. *Cries*

you're getting old, you're getting old?!?!?

...my knee's going out slowly. Can't run more than 2 miles without it hurting.

...I'm only 23. *Cries*


I'm 37!

Ill tell how old I'm getting,I went to the bathroom,sat down.and my knee popped!
Freakin crippled for a week.

Every time I need the loo.a slight panic overtakes me.

Bye Sunny! Hi Sneezy! :)

I'm going to drop out of this competition of who is the least fit for their age, because ill win and winning in this situation is not a good thing :(

Hi sneezy

Hey guys. Yeah, I've been trying to get back on the "fitness" course... and yeah... I've been in pain for the past 3 weeks. Ouch.

im gonna drop out of this competition of who is the least fit for their age, because ill win and winning in this situation is not a good thing :(

hi sneezy

It's not the age, Bear. It's the milage.

Hey Cats! :)

Bear, some training and you could get better (in fitness) in less than some days.

Milage Cats? Can you explain to me :confused:

Yeah maybe, thanks unky :)

Ill have to take your word for that cats :D

Haa, unky.

It's like a car... the age doesn't matter as much as the car hasn't been driven too much.

It's how much you use it, not how old it is.

Ah! Ok, I knew the word, through its sound though. I didn't recognise it as 'mile-age', the 'counting' of miles and was reading it as having the sound 'meelage' :p Thank you both! :D

Heys cats,I've a few miles under the bonnet,still rev pretty good though.

Not vintage,but not fresh of the lot either.
2 owners,well cared for,one minor crash,good shiny body,and four spanking new tyres.
A good little goer-- to sum it up.

What's it going for red? :D

well now good morning all!!


I see you sunny!


you know... this is just a really random thought... but I always dreamed about getting married to an islam, or an arab, or ANY of the middle eastern men... of course in my dream they are the ideal, polite nice guy, who takes care of his family, and has lots of money.

but no :P I married a poor mexican ;)

funny how our fantasys and realitys vary huh?

... I have to ask, why a middle eastern guy, though?

Hi kids.

Are we still talking about cars? :rolleyes:

I am back!!

No Alty somehow I see it turned to men. What timing.

Well, see, my favorite types of movies, are the lifetime movies and the romantic movies and such (I like ALL kinds of movies but those are my favorite)

And I had seen a couple movies when I was younger about an american woman meeting and marrying a middle eastern man, and (in the movie) it seems to me that these men are far more responsible than american men, and I am a bit... ok a LOT of a MALE chauvinist (im a girl :P just a weird one) and I like the type of man/woman relationship in the middle east, where the man makes the decisions and takes care of his family, and my only job would be to cook clean raise my kids and care for my husband. (and in china and japan as well) (not to mention I find middle eastern men to be quite attractive.. )

Lets be honest here, in america, its hard to find a man like that, unless he is this way due to a BDSM lifestyle.

sorry im just bored and wanted something to talk about lol

Men with engines. ;)

We have to turn this around.

What happened to the castle? Who's taking care of the duck statue? There's pigeon poo everywhere.

Who's mercedes is parked on the draw bridge?

Bad kids. I can't leave you alone for a minute. ;)

Alty crack the whip! I am innocent in all of this I tell you.
Just going about my business.

Yes ma'am!!

*starts cleaning frantically*

Wow, that would not work for me at all!

I would not be able to live with a man that thought I was beneath him. As for cooking and cleaning and taking care of the kids, I'm happy to do it, but not because I have to.

When hubby and I first got married I was the bread winner, I was the career woman. When I got pregnant with Jared things changed and we both decided I'd stay home and raise him for as long as I could. It was tough losing my income, we struggled, but it was worth it in the end.

Then both my parents died and shortly thereafter I got pregnant with Sydney. At that time we could afford for me to stay home with the kids.

Now that both kids are in school I'm debating going back to my career.

If I had a husband that wasn't okay with that, one of us wouldn't survive. :eek:

I agree with every word of this Alty. I am so independent. I love my son more then anything but I can not stay home like that. I would lose my identity. But I respect those women that do and can. It can be hard some days.

It is hard. I've never been one to be idle though.

I do woodworking, I paint (oil paintings), I write. I always have something on the go, I'm not just a mom and a wife, I'm me, and I refuse to lose that.

Being a mother is the hardest job I've ever had and I've had some really hard jobs. It's been worth it. At the end of the summer it's time to get back into the adult world. My kids are in school from 8:30am until 3:20pm, no reason for me to sit on my arse all day waiting for them to get home.

What kind of wood working do you do?
I would love to do clay bowls and stuff like that but its impossible right now. I don't have the room.
My mothers boyfriend does wood working also.

I make tables, keyboxes, coasters, you name it. If it's wood I can make it.

It's too exhausting!! :):rolleyes:

LOL! Nice Stringer. :)

Who's mercedes is parked on the draw bridge?

Bad kids. I can't leave you alone for a minute. ;)

The 'pigeon poo' you are seeing Alty is the treatment against the last poo the pigeon had left. These are nearly gone though. Some more days of treatment, and the statue will be as clean and bright as if it were a brand new one! :)

Mercedes? I don't know... :(

Good one Stringer! :p

Sorry, I'll move it...

Do I have to have a garage built for all the cars you boys are bringing in?

What about the horses? The carriage? Where will I put them?

Sigh. Being Queen is hard. :(

Put them all in the dungeon? :) ;) :D :eek:

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Stringer my love where have you been!

I make tables, keyboxes, coasters, you name it. If it's wood I can make it.

Alty those are gorgeous! Do you sell them local? Oh my gosh those are so darn nice. Very impressed girl.

Stringer my love where have you been!


Oh sunny,you poor deluded woman,don't you know stringer is taken,and there is a queue as long as your arm waiting in vain!

Alty silly girl. The carriage was brought in for you. Its your ride with the beautiful red velvet and the white horses.
I grew the white roses that are draped around the horses neck.

oh sunny,you poor deluded woman,dont you know stringer is taken,and there is a queue as long as your arm waiting in vain!

But as they move forward in line I trip them and step ahead.
That's not evil at all.

Are you within budget?

Alty those are gorgeous! Do you sell them local? Oh my gosh those are so darn nice. Very impressed girl.

Danke. :)

The ones I posted were a gift for a good friend.

I have been selling other things, but so far I haven't tried to sell my tables. Every time I make one hubby falls in love with it and insists that we keep it. I have more tables in my house then anything else. :eek:

Right now I'm waiting for some extra spending money so I can buy some wood. I'm planning on selling them at home. Sort of like a garage/craft sale. I just need to build up my inventory, then I'll see how it goes. I'm crossing my fingers. This would be a great little side business, especially because I love doing it.

My parents would be shocked. My dad never even let me use a screw driver when I was growing up. ;)

Put them all in the dungeon? :) ;) :D :eek:

Wait Unky... you are a 'boy'... that means... 'under lock and key' too... :)

But as they move forward in line I trip them and step ahead.
Thats not evil at all.


No sunny,that's not evil at all... (sigh)

Anyone want a teenager?

I've got loads,free to good home,I've a blonde and a brunette,very lazy and will eat the contents of your fridge in 10 seconds flat..

Best practical use,making coffee for you and... em,that's about it.

Danke. :)

Have you ever considered selling the smaller items on Ebay? I sell things there often and its fun. Then I could bid on them! I love crafty original things.

Stringer my love where have you been!

Can they be taught to clean?

I'll take one if he/she can clean.

Oooh, mowing the lawn, washing clothes and cooking is also a must.

If they want to eat, they have to work. :)

Wait Unky...you are a 'boy'...that means....'under lock and key' too....:)

Does that mean I'm n jail :eek:

Pining my time away missing you hon...:D

I knew it. I am the special one.
OK all jokes can be left quiet!

Does that mean I'm n jail :eek:

That's what I'm saying bud... :eek:

Have you ever considered selling the smaller items on Ebay? I sell things there often and its fun. Then I could bid on them! I love crafty original things.

If you're a good girl I'll send you one. :)

They're end tables. I've never shipped one before. I guess I'd have to ship them unassembled with instructions to assemble.

Interesting. Never thought about eBay. I might have to do that. :)

I knew it. I am the special one.
OK all jokes can be left quiet!

And, pray tell, what jokes could they make.. :rolleyes:

Bummer Unky.
Well just lay low until Stringer leaves. We will take good care of you my boy.

That's what I'm saying bud...:eek:

Sheriff, you can't put Unky in jail, who will clean up the pigeon poo? :eek:

Bummer Unky.
Well just lay low until Stringer leaves. We will take good care of ya my boy.

Danger! Unky... Danger Alert!! :p

Sheriff, you can't put Unky in jail, who will clean up the pigeon poo? :eek:

NO, NO, no... I was telling him that his question; 'put the guys in the dungeon was not something that woud benefit him... :(:)

That's what I'm saying bud...:eek:

But who'll take care of the Duck's statue, I need to renew the treatment against pigeon poo every day, look after the castle... :(

Sunny ill swap your 5 year old for my 17 year old..

And ill give a jar of strawberry jam with the 18 year old..

It seems their arms and legs are broken as regards to house work,but I'm sensing an improvement as there is talk of the cinema..

Rubber gloves and lawn mower at the ready.

But who'll take care of the Duck's statue, I need to renew the treatment against pigeon poo every day, look after the castle... :(

We really do keep you busy, don't we?

You can have a 5 minute break dear, but then you have to get back to it.

Did you feed the crocks today?

I... I... I... am confused... now. :D Along with some frustration... I can't explain it, this is for your benefit not to go to the dungeon buddy, so don't even put that thought in the Queesn's mind... K? :D:D:D

If you're a good girl I'll send you one. :)

Oh your so nice! I would pay you for sure.

I love eBay. I buy my son new clothes on there, top names. Then when he is done and if they are not stained or torn I sell them back in eBay. So he is always dressed super nice and I always have a bit of cash on the side to spend. Its great. You should really check it out.

rubber gloves and lawn mower at the ready.

I have a 10 year old and a 6 year old, both with birthday's coming up soon, so they'll be 11 and 7, that adds up to one 18 year old.

Does he know how to shovel snow?

We really do keep you busy, don't we?

You can have a 5 minute break dear, but then you have to get back to it.

Did you feed the crocks today?

And, my guns need cleaning and the bullets need shined up.

Danger!! Unky...Danger Alert!!!!!!:p

Danger! I am ashamed you would think that of me.

Danger! I am ashamed you would think that of me.

:o:o:o:o Still my loving friend?

sunny ill swap your 5 year old for my 17 year old..

and ill give a jar of strawberry jam with the 18 year old..

Hmm...
Well mine is only 5 but has gotten quite mouthy. So OK, we can do this on a trial run. But I want unlimited strawberry jam.

And, my guns need cleaning and the bullets need shined up.

My gun needs cleaning too...

... as far as my bullets needing shining... I'm afraid that I use them up too quickly for them to lose their shine.:eek:

Oh your so nice! I would pay you for sure.

I love ebay. I buy my son new clothes on there, top names. Then when he is done and if they are not stained or torn I sell them back in ebay. So he is always dressed super nice and I always have a bit of cash on the side to spend. Its great. You should really check it out.

My hubby buys stuff on eBay once in a while, but I've never tried it. I'm a bit scared to do it, but I'll check it out. It may be a great way to get my stuff out there, increase sales. I may need a bigger shop. :eek:

Most of the work I do is in pine, the pics I posted are oak. I don't get my hands on oak very often, it's not cheap. The tile, I have boxes and boxes of tile. Any size, color, texture you could dream of.

Maybe I should start a thread so others can also post pictures of their work.

Hmmm. :)

We really do keep you busy, don't we?

You can have a 5 minute break dear, but then you have to get back to it.

Did you feed the crocks today?

OK this is way off base. But at first I didn't read that as crocks. Hahaa Just saying...

OK back to the castle.

my gun needs cleaning too...

...as far as my bullets needing shining...I'm afraid that I use them up too quickly for them to lose their shine.:eek:

Stop shooting the pigeons Sneezy! :(

OK this is way off base. But at first I didnt read that as crocks. hahaa Just saying...

OK back to the castle.

LMAO! Sunny, a dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste. ;)

:o:o:o:o Still my loving friend?

Of course handsome. You have a way with words that makes me melt every time.

We really do keep you busy, don't we?

You can have a 5 minute break dear, but then you have to get back to it.

Did you feed the crocks today?

Well, someone has to look after the castle when no one's around...


I...I...I...am confused.......now. :D Along with some frustration....I can't explain it, this is for your benefit not to go to the dungeon buddy, so don't even put that thought in the Queesn's mind...K? :D :D :D

I'm confused too.. the jails are in the dungeon... oh, forget it. I'm going in my room now. Bedtime here. Bye Alty, Stringer, Sunny, Red, Sneezy.

Btw, there are a few people I've not seen since last year... BigB, Softy, Allheart, Guywithnolife... :(

LMAO! Sunny, a dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste. ;)

Well I had a customer come in and I read it fast and... stuttering now... oh forget it! I am back out of the gutter, but with a grin. A big grin. Got to love the crocks. Let keep them fed and happy.

Good night Unky!

Teenage girls and the summer holidays,the bane of my life.

What are ye talking about?
Cars,tables,unky,prison,stringer?

All sounds very iffy!

BigB, Softy, Allheart, Guywithnolife

I've been wondering about them too.

I know that Allheart is just busy. She has two pups now and they keep her hands full.

Guy, I don't know. I hope he's okay.

BigBird, last I heard he got back together with his ex. The whole reason he came to AMHD was for help getting over her. Now that they're together again we may not see him until the next breakup. ;)

Softy, no idea.

It's sad. :(

Night Unky.

Nighty night unky.

my gun needs cleaning too...

...as far as my bullets needing shining...I'm afraid that I use them up too quickly for them to lose their shine.:eek:

Hey bear,fancy a drink,there on the castles tab.
Waiting on the chicken wings and ham sandwiches.

I need to be good....for a while...:(

RED!! I need you! See this nonsense above.
Someone needing to be good. Puh-leeze Stringer. Ok then, just sit and watch. In case we get out of line. You can threaten us with the whip Salvador. Oh yes, I said Salvador. I am hardly going to be threatened with a Sarah.

Chicken wings at the castle ballroom ( giggling )
Well if they serve us up chicken wings I am kicking off these god for saken heals. I tried to clean up and look respectable, but for chicken wings? Bring 'em on! ( kicks off shoes and hikes up gown )

Hey sunny I see chay is on the boards,pour her a whiskey,the good stuff.

Fancy a sing song?

Yep that's what she needs to come out of hiding. Come on Chey, Chey, Chey. Come on girl...

CHAY! Come on woman.

CHAY! come on woman.

Yes but I remember taking them from the Queens closet and we forgot to hang this one back up. May as well break it in right. I am so jeans and heels or boots, but for now this will do. May as well slop it up good. Hang it up and they will all thing Queen Alty is a slobbering drunk ( chuckling )

Chicken wings!

Why does the chat always lead to food?

I'm drooling on my keyboard.

Can we have chocolate for desert?

Poor auld stringer,correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you pinch 'susy' from alty,who had an original male name attached??

So,in fact susy,is a man with a girls name attached?

Like a boy called sue.

I rest my case.

Council?

Who told? :eek:

Giggle.

You can borrow it for tonight, just have it dry cleaned before you bring it back, or give it to Unky, he's our errand boy. :)

Chicken wings!?

Spicy ones,oh and garlic mushrooms,and a few chips (fries) thrown in for good measure.

S....U....S......Y !!!!!!!! Susy...Susy, say,,,,"SUSY" Please, she is listening....:)

Sarah, S... U... S... Y as you put it.
Maybe you should have two whips. I mean if I am getting the whip put to me I prefer Salavador. Can't you get it from Alty for the time being?

Chicken wings!?

When its red and I we like food and drinks.
Oh don't mind the gown. It makes a nice moist towellete after the wings. Anyone want to try? Drop a bit of drink and clean fingers... works beautifully.

Who told? :eek:

Giggle.

You can borrow it for tonight, just have it dry cleaned before you bring it back, or give it to Unky, he's our errand boy. :)

Its rumor Alty and there are pictures. Just so you know.

Or do that,wiping your fingers underneath the table cloth.. not that I ever did that,well maybe once or twice.

Bring on the dancers... dance sunny dance,any old jig will do.

I'm dancing red!
Wait this darn gown! I am tripping on it. Grab right here red and hold ( sunny rips gown up to knees )
Perfect! Not clear off this table I am coming up.

Sarah, S...U...S....Y as you put it.
Maybe you should have two whips. I mean if I am getting the whip put to me I prefer Salavador. Can't you get it from Alty for the time being?

Salvador is the whip I had a long time ago. I had to be awol for a while and I asked Stringer, my trusted friend, to take over. I handed him the whip with the promise to give it back when I returned.

Well, low and behold, the next day I came back, asked Stringer for my whip and he refused to return my property. He renamed my poor Salvador, had him attached to his wrist and I've been trying to get him back ever since.

Now poor Sal has been renamed Susie, he/she hangs on Stringers wall crying for his original owner.

So I'm whipless. I've tried to find a replacement, but to no avail. I need Sal, he needs me, but sadly he's trapped in Stringers house, hanging from the wall, unloved, uncared for, yearning for me.

It's a tragedy.

Omg wow, this thread moved FAST

poor auld stringer,correct me if im wrong but didnt you pinch 'susy' from alty,who had an original male name attached???

so,infact susy,is a man with a girls name attached??

like a boy called sue.

i rest my case.

council?

Yes, counseling... you are way over thinking this :)... HER name is Susy... Atly had misnamed (her). :)

Hey jennie,as stringer once said 'miss a little miss alot'

Hey Alty I have one thing to say about that now.
At least your not whipped like Stringer is...

Hahaha slapping my knee

Sarah, S...U...S....Y as you put it.
Maybe you should have two whips. I mean if I am getting the whip put to me I prefer Salavador. Can't you get it from Alty for the time being?

Alty's new whip is a fake and she knows it... :eek::)

No Stringer. Salvador is now Suzie. So cleary red had it right, a boy name Sue.

YouTube - Johnny Cash "A Boy Named Sue" ORIGINAL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M89c3hWx3RQ)

That's not true! Alty I offered you a new and very well broken in whip! She just wants HER whip back from Stringer. Bad Stringer! *wags finger*

Sorry I took a while to reply

Bye unky have a good one
Hi jennie, what's the happy haps :D


hey bear,fancy a drink,there on the castles tab.
waiting on the chicken wings and ham sandwiches.

Yes please I do need one :)

Yes, counseling....you are way over thinking this :).....HER name is Susy....Atly had misnamed (her). :)

Alty (um me) bought Sal, trained Sal, oiled him every night so the leather wouldn't dry up. We practiced together, we slept together, we were one.

I lent him to you for one day, one day only. You pulled off a few tassles, unmaned him and renamed him Susie.

Poor Sal. I'm sure he still dreams of the time we spent together. I'm sure he misses me as much as I miss him. :(

Yes, counseling....you are way over thinking this :).....HER name is Susy....Atly had misnamed (her). :)


That's your story and your sticking to it! Hmm yes hmmm.

Want to a chicken wing?

So what your saying again Alty, is Stringer made Salvador in to a drag queen? Not fitting for a castle I say.

A enuch whip.. thats freaking tragic.

thats your story and your sticking to it! hmm yes hmmm.

wanna a chicken wing?

For some reason I just busted a gut here.
Pass those wings.
Wait Chey is here, so now there is pie. Wings, drinks, then pie.

So what your saying again Alty, is Stringer made Salvador in to a drag queen? Not fitting for a castle I say.

He turned poor Sal into a woman! He ripped tassels off, he unmaned poor Sal. Sal and I, we were like peas and carrots. :)

Poor Sal, forever doomed to live out his life as Susie. It's a tragedy. :(

For some reason I just busted a gut here.

What about the chocolate? :eek:

Oh jayus,hide the pie on alty!

Sunny,bear and chay... aka PARTY!

What about the chocolate? :eek:

I just figured you knew it was chocolate pie. With some fancy truffles on the side.

He turned poor Sal into a woman! He ripped tassels off, he unmaned poor Sal. Sal and I, we were like peas and carrots. :)

Ok forest there's pie.. hush now... here pie lots of pie

Ok forest theres pie..hush now....here pie lots of pie

I was wondering if anyone would catch that. :)

I don't want pie, I want chocolate! :(

Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!

OK girls. Red listen up.
Sal still has a tassle left swinging. (hee hee) Well will save him from this nonsense of hanging on a wall and return him to Alty. We party until Stringer is not watching and we make the plan.

Someone give that woman pie...

Chicken wings,chocolate pie,drink,a castle.. its like fantasy food fest.

I heard that sunny, I'm telling... unless you can buy me off :D

Yay pie buddies! I must confess, I am in an orangey mood this week. Orange flavored whipped topping!

What was this about kidnapping a pie? I mean whip? No I meant pie.. no WAIT whip!

No pie, no pie! I want Ritter sport praline chocolate.

Am I or am I not the Queen?

Chocolate, or off with their heads.

I get mean without sugar. :o

OK girls. red listen up.
Sal still has a tassle left swinging. (hee hee) Well will save him from this nonsense of hanging on a wall and return him to Alty. We party until Stringer is not watching and we make the plan.


Our plans have a knack of getting us into trouble/banned/did I say trouble?

What we need is a sidekick,someone with charm,brains,5 months pregnat/preggers/pregnant/with child,who can make pie,

Know anyone that fits that description?

Also a cute bear may come in handy. Hmmm,where to find a cute bear?

It's a tragedy.

Why do you make up all these 'stories' girl? It's almost like a political 'spin'....

1. I never promised to give her back.

2. Your attempts have been feeble in getting her return, not that she even wants to leave me.

3. She has a very special, honored place in my office here at home, on the wall, with candles burning around her.

4. She always has a smile on her face, I see to that.

5. Correct, you are 'whipless' and you shall remain whipless. Susy only needs the special attention that I provide for her.

6. She expresses daily to me how she is grateful that she is free and how much she is everlastingly in my debt for freeing her from her sad past...

"Honestly, I have never been happier than I am at this moment, Stringer is so kind and gentle with me and he makes me soooo happy." -Susy

(Message obtained without any duress.)

7. It is not a tragedy, it is the saving of a lost soul.

(NO brainwashing was made in the content of any of the comments listed herein... )

No pie, no pie! I want Ritter sport praline chocolate.

Am I or am I not the Queen?!

Chocolate, or off with their heads.

YouTube - Johnny Cash "A Boy Named Sue" ORIGINAL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M89c3hWx3RQ)

YOU just do not understand my dear, Susy IS all woman. :D:D

Sarah, S...U...S....Y as you put it.
Maybe you should have two whips. I mean if I am getting the whip put to me I prefer Salavador. Can't you get it from Alty for the time being?

I be the whip(or)... :)

That's not true! Alty I offered you a new and very well broken in whip! She just wants HER whip back from Stringer. Bad Stringer! *wags finger*

I sense a mob mentality... Deputies!!

I sense a mob mentality...Deputies !!!!!!!

Per the norm it is the females ganging up on the males... :cool:

Stringer, darling. *bats eyes and smiles* Has anyone ever asked you what you would want in return for Souxie? If not, may I inquire as to the demands you would like met before considering this as a possibility? Also, I make WONDERFUL pie and give amazing back rubs. Should that help you in this consideration process. *giggles*

thats your story and your sticking to it! hmm yes hmmm.

wanna a chicken wing?

Starving... yes, thank you... but I am keeping Susy. :D

well i have charm brains and can make pie, but sadly for you im not 5 months pregnant, oh well :)


Bear,your perfect for the job..

It requires skill and cunning.. stringer can spin a story,it may be dangerous,and we may end up getting locked up...

Well I can't fault you there :D

So what your saying again Alty, is Stringer made Salvador in to a drag queen? Not fitting for a castle I say.

No, no, nooooooo... Susy was always ALL WOMAN... Alty dressed her up in pants and a muscle... I had to save her, she cried every night for the first week... and continually thank ed me over and over for saving her. :rolleyes:

oh jayus,hide the pie on alty!

sunny,bear and chay...aka PARTY!!

Aaah hum...

OK girls. red listen up.
Sal still has a tassle left swinging. (hee hee) Well will save him from this nonsense of hanging on a wall and return him to Alty. We party until Stringer is not watching and we make the plan.

The Sheriff is all seeing and all hearing... :eek:

No, no, nooooooo...Susy was always ALL WOMAN...Alty dressed her up in pants and a muscle ...I had to save her, she cried every night fo the first week...and continually thank ed me over and over for saving her. :rolleyes:


Yeah right!

Stringer listen to me... susy is a MAN!

I really don't know how else to say that.

The Sheriff is all seeing and all hearing.....:eek:

And all reading :D

and all reading :D


It did cross my mind bear... the trick is to outsmart him...

That's right stringer... I said outsmart..

I'm not afraid.. not really.

Maybe a little.

it did cross my mind bear...the trick is to outsmart him...

thats right stringer...i said outsmart..

im not afraid..not really.

A feat that is not easily accomplished, many have tried and many have ended up in the dungeons :D

Per the norm it is the females ganging up on the males...:cool:

Finally... a truism.

So true bear,any plots,plans or other ideas of how to go about this..
We need something solid... a well thought out plan,or is this going to be a smash and grab?

Stringer, darling. *bats eyes and smiles* Has anyone ever asked you what you would want in return for Souxie? If not, may I inquire as to the demands you would like met before considering this as a possibility? Also, I make WONDERFUL pie and give amazing back rubs. Should that help you in this consideration process. *giggles*

Ha... it would take an awful lot to make me even consider... did you ask... "my demands?" :eek::eek::rolleyes:

and all reading :D

Quite quickly I might add... brain cramp...

it did cross my mind bear...the trick is to outsmart him...

thats right stringer...i said outsmart..

And the clouds cleared and the sky opened... 'lightning!' ;):):)

so true bear,any plots,plans or other ideas of how to go about this..

No well thought out plan would be good enough to outsmart stringer, so your best chance would be a smash 'n' grab bu be prepared to take casulties :D


Quite quickly I might add...brain cramp....

Very quickly, I might further add :)

Really,what are the odds you would get struck by lightening,you just got to keep moving...

Smash and grab it is.. on some idle Tuesday or Wednesday when the boards are quite.

Odds are greater than winning the lottery :D

p.s the desk is quiet on the weekends

Stringer dear, you know that Sal is all man, you emasculated him, turned him into a girl, that's why he cried the first week.

Really Stringer, shall I go back, find the incident in question?

I still cry for Sal, I know he cries for me. You have turned him into something he isn't. Poor, poor Sal.

I really need some chocolate. :(

If I could give you some real chocolate I would but unfortunately all I've got is this never-ending mountain of delux virtual chocolate, you can have as much as you want of that, just dive in :D

I'm totally lost now. What happened to the pie talk?!

This time pie... just... wasnt... enough :(

I'm totally lost now. What happened to the pie talk?!?

Does Ritter sport make a praline pie? I don't think so. :(

Chocolate! :D

Not entirely off topic, but what's a praline?
