*also waves* There was I, thinking Grace had started a new thread. :sad: But no. Not that the return of Gypsy isn't a nice thing either.
Y'know, I just don't make enough of an effort to post these days. It's a shame, really. I still check the boards most days though. I remember gypsy though, from way back in the day. Nice to see you again!
...lol. Yay! Returnees always come in waves, don't they? I am now looking at the virtual door of this place full of anticipation. Who will come in next?
I just took a look at the old board (couldn't remember when I'd joined- waaaay back in November of 04. Wow.) This might amuse everybody- the GGG himself is still the top poster over there.
[Enters stage left] Singing Happy Birthday in rather a confused state of mind... Congratulations to all of the members who've managed to keep posting on a regular basis and allowing me to keep up with the general insanity of life on my infrequent visits. Now its less than 60 weeks until I get my bus pass and I'm still alive... you guys are a veritable verbal laxative. You've kept me going over the past few months.
Um "veritable verbal laxative" would imply that everything we say is shit. I take offence. Everything we say is not shit merely some of it is. Hi everybody.
Hey Joculator !! Spiky, if we are the laxative, then 'tis he who is producing the shit. Or else you'se doin' it wrong.
You are only as old as you feel or so they say. Somedays i feel about three and somedays maybe 103. My "boyfriend" is going to 63 in November so it works. But I know exactly how Joculator feels and I am glad as hell this place lives and sparkles and keeps the juices flowing. Much love to all.
Is it me or did the 'juices flowing' bit sound eewy? ...it's ok if it's just me, but I just wondered.... This board is a wonderful place to visit, lurk, post, vent, query, explore and enjoy. Thanks everyone.
Ah, a master of the English language Let me see... laxative (Archaic.) ... referring to looseness. Re-quote..."You guys cover such a loose variety of topics (inferring, you are not so narrow minded to stick to one or two subjects) that you have kept me amused by your cutting wit and humour over the last few months by exceptional and outstanding use of your vivacious and extremely diverse comments and views to the posted topics." Hi to everyone especially Katcal, Tamyra & Spi.
Thanks Joc for clearing up the confusion regarding laxatives. Tam's statement can now be interpreted in the light that she means loose not just juicy.
Yay, Joc ! So, if you're not suffering from any form of verbal or non-verbal diarrhoea, have a big chunk of cheese, on me... (well, not literally on me, of course...)
Raising a glass as well! Having been somewhat off the board due to heart problems (medical not romantic) and then serious fractures due to falls - two fragmented verterbrae and ten cracked ribs - I am now looking forward to getting back on - but it takes time to get back into normal life!
I was just about to say that Pixel should be the next one to tumble out of the closet of lost boardanians... Yikes man that's a lot to go through just to provide a decent excuse for not posting. Don't let it happen again.
Bugger off! I don't want to see any of that curdled cow juice even threatening my 50+lb weight loss from the last few months.:bunny: I laughed myself ill with Cheese War I. I "aten't" gonna be responsible for messing up the scenery by starting CWII. Welcome back Pixel. I just hope the falls weren't due to Katcal being messy and leaving unexploded cheeses lying around in your path.
Chris says: how's your post going, ella? Ella says: i've written several Ella says: and they've all been deleted Chris says: perfectionist Ella says: i have had the net back on my laptop for about one hour! Ella says: and there is the most perfect "hi i'm back" thread sitting on the board Ella says: which takes all pressure away from making a profound First-In-Ages Post Chris says: it's hard to be original with so many returns :razz: Ella says: and still Ella says: STILL Ella says: i don't know how to say "hi, i'm back" ... The follow-up is always better than the comeback single!
Ella was obviously struggling to compete with the dramas of Pixel in explaining her absence... With all of that it would be quite hard. Welcome back to both of you. Now. Don't do it again.
Welcome back every lost Boardanian, I sort of feel like I'm lost too, I've been out and about much more then usual, Adam and I have been having fun Moondance jamming, and we are going to another fest this weekend, Ribfest in Cass Lake, MN. There will be dancing in the street I'm told. Sorry about the juices comment, not real sorry though.
Curses! I hate it when that happens. Why isn't your website working. I wanted to re-read the board story?
Pfff. I demand a recount! I'm pretty sure i've been here since before the start of time and space, atleast it feels like it anyway, i have the scars to prove it. Great thread Grace.
