Melrick

awwww

I can understand that. But for what it's worth, it's good to have you back again.

Thanks.

LOL

I'm not sure we had a plan.

A happy day to you!

And relatively inexpensive at that, even for a bronze certified.

True, it's just lousy timing. At least I might actually be able to enjoy my holiday now, anyway.

and now I have to get one for me. Mine is completely dead

I love the challenge of trying to get them all in at once.

posted this to fb too

Okay.

Personally, I went for those lineless bifocals so I can fake being not-that-old.

yep, have the progressive bifocals, although I've been wearing THOSE since I was TWELVE. Screaming? Lemme get my carriage whip....that'll fix 'em!

Well thankfully I don't need bifocals, but if I do then those lineless ones would be the way to go, even if they are expensive.

*snickers*

I am so moving to Australia. I have been getting survey calls for MONTHS about our city mayoral election. Granted, other positions are also up for elections, but gods be good, I hate the phone by now.

I just don't understand why US elections have to go for SO LONG!

LOL! I'm not sure I can top Rogue's offer, so I'll toss in a loud HUZZAH!

*tosses in some booze*

Well I don't drink, but I'll sure as hell take the BJ!

Moradin. He has a hammer.

Now to count down the days...

Ouch, Melrick. I do hope you will still have hair left when your relatives go back to their own homes.

lol Duly noted.

I take frequent breaks myself. The use of brakes is, however, always discretionary.

lol It's a nice car, apart from the uncomfortable seats, which are pretty standard in modern cars for some reason.

They're okay. Unless they bite you, in which case you stop being okay.

passes flamethrower for future use

I have a feeling we'll be having this discussion for a very long time. Spiders are NOT okay... ever. No shape, size or form... well, except dead form. Then they're okay.

If the car is written off, the agreed value of it wouldn't even be enough to buy the same car again. So I either have to buy a worse car or put my own money to it. I loose either way.

That absolutely sucks. Is there any hope that they'll choose to fix instead?

Don't know. I'll find out next Wednesday.

And that is why I stay the hell away from your backyard, my friend. I'd need full body armor to visit your backyard, honestly...

I'm taking great delight in knowing my backyard is safer than Melrick's yard.

*sniggers* mine's safer. No snakes at all... and no lizards, or frogs, or even deadly spiders.

He's a wise man, Mr. Gervais...

Yes indeed.

Sarcasm? Wazzat?

Oh dear. You have my sympathy!

Mine as well. At least it's legal to kill the cockroach.

Half of my family are Witnesses. Just imagine getting the recruitment speech every single visit... oh and they get more zealous with family

*passes out poppies*

We will never forget any who served.

I sure hope so. It's a pain in the arse, not to mention the wallet.

Oh, do tell! I'm babying my aging kitchen appliances myself.

I am too. I agree with Bronx, rule of three needs to apply.

I may not live in England, but yes, plain chocolate is dark chocolate.

PS - I'm now craving McVitie's wholemeal biscuits with plain chocolate. LMAO!

lol I've never tried those biscuits, but I will one day. And thanks for the info!

Actually, that was me showing tremendous restraint. You should see me when I'm annoyed.

Honestly, I think this has gone too far. It's easy to read mal-intent when you can't hear inflection. Melrick, I do not deny your right to express yourself, I responded because your initial statement was very challenging towards naysayers. I hold no disrespect for your position, I just gave an opposing one and I thought it was funny that it didn't take much to break your restraints. LockedBox - I don't feel I incited with my view, as my words were not inflammatory, but perh...

Aack! The comment box lets you ramble on but there seems to be a character limit. I was cut off and so was Locked Box. How do you read the entire comment?

Indeed. Wise man, that.

yuppers!

Almost makes you want to hug the poor troll, so sad is their life ... almost, if they hadn't just trashed your story.

Yep, rather sad.

aw jeez

That's unfortunate. May these talented stars rest in peace. =(

I put my phone on vibrate when I'm out, stuff it in my purse, and ignore the vibrating purse. I don't go out to type (unless you count writing at the pool).

it's the current mentality. How many of the obnoxious people will be talking to you but the second the phone rings they take that and ignore you.

My aunt and uncle who are in their 60s txt each other from across the dinner table.

and lazy idiots that are more concerned with clothes, make-up and music than learning something that was taught way back in grade school.

Things aren't much better in this country, sadly.

I know teens here, and grown ups too, who think it's boring to read... I nearly beat the living daylights out of the girls who said that to me, with my one volume, hardcover Lord of the Rings...

WTG Melrick!

Thanks. :-)

I'll tell you, I'm quite happy with the fact that if I want to read staff stuff, it's always going to be GOOD stuff. We're blessed with having excellent writers on staff except for me and Rogue of course
