I was restating it. He only went the once thank heavens. :roll:

Well he isn't getting a choice actually!! :nono:

LOL. Well good then. And glad that the cone of silence has been lifted. I am not one that can stay angry with someone or have silence, unless I leave the building like Elvis. If I am there, it is like a blister for me, I have to resolve it.

I figure that you two have been together so long that you know how to work through your schtuff by now.

:hug:

Are you around for a bit? I have about an hour left at work.

by **Vanaladiel** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 2:37 pm

Yup I am here for a while so why don't you go check the Fadoodle thread too!!!

by **rwhen** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 3:17 pm

Did it and posted there, no time to think on a new one right now.

I saw Hue on again. I know he is back from his holiday and school has started everywhere, so I do hope that he will get on back one way or the other. Sometimes he takes WAY too long for my nerves.

by **Vanaladiel** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 3:19 pm

I know what you mean. I hope he comes back soon too!! :thumbsup:

by **RoseMorninStar** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 5:29 pm

Are you saying that 'Hue lurks? That he comes aboard but doesn't post?

Hey HUE!!! I know you got your double rings now.. but HEY!! WE'RE STILL HERE!! :hihi:

by **Vanaladiel** » Wed Sep 02, 2009 10:12 pm

That is what she be saying sweet Rose dear!! I see him online now and then but he is liking the reprieve from posting for a bit I think and enjoying seeing the double rings for a bit all by their lonesome selves.

by **RoseMorninStar** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 1:30 am

I suppose it is nice to admire those two bright shineys with nothing else mucking up their brilliance. I've got a loooong ways to go before I can enjoy such a sight!

by **rwhen** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 7:48 am

Yes but you thought you had a long way to go to become a Mariner and look at you sailing the bright blue seas of TORCland.

You will get there eventually.

And I can understand why Hue is wanting to look at the two rings for a bit, but I know he can't stay away forever, he will be back in one form or another.

HELLLLLLOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Oh, I had something to say but forgot what it was. :roll:

Good morning! It is 55 degrees here. It's supposed to get into the high 70s, but hasn't yet. It's rather cold...for September 3.

by **rwhen** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 8:05 am

Hey Iris. Yeah, I hear that it is chilly all over, meaning temps lower than they should be.

This thread is actually getting close to expiration. Do we think we should start up a new one?

What say you?

HELLLLLLOOOOO!!!!!!!

by **Vanaladiel** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 10:45 am

Of course we need a new thread!!! I can not imagine why we would not want to reopen this thread for the fun and laughter and pleasure of every ones company!! :clap:

Helllllllooooooooooooooooo!!!!

by **rowanberry** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 10:50 am

Judging from the activity here - yes, we need a HELLLLOOOOO! v. 2.0.

There are never too many places for chit-chat around. =:)

by **rwhen** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 10:57 am

Okay, I thought it would good too, but didn't want to appear too greedy with too many threads. It is funny, while it may not appear so, I actually don't start that many threads. Both the PCE and this thread were more a joke when I opened them and then they took on a life of their own.

I do RE-start threads for Toms especially. When I was racing towards the first ring, the original starters of threads were not posting, so I HAD to do it, don't you see? I mean really, I HAD to.

*looks very innocent*

:twisted:

by **Vanaladiel** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 11:09 am

When do we need to restart this thread and do you wish for someone else to start it for you?? :whistle:

by **rwhen** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 11:17 am

Ah, you are cruisin' for one Vanadarlin'!! :twisted:

Actually, THIS thread, I wouldn't care who restarted it, not that important. The PCE thread is a whole nother ball o' wax. I guess the only other person that could/should restart the PCE if I were to oh, go to Mars or something, is Guru actually, since I got the idea for the PCE from a post he made.

But this thread, a HELLLLLOOOOOO moment could happen to anyone, coming on line and being the only one logged in. I think we are around 70 from hitting 2,000.

by **heliona** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 11:28 am

I was going to suggest the same thing as Vana but if I start it, it'd be bound to flop - I'm such a thread killer! :lol:

by **RoseMorninStar** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 11:34 am

rwhen..you're not that far from your double shiney's either. Have you got a goal? Or do you rather just to plod along.. at a relatively normal pace?

Iris, it's been terribly cold here too. We have a lovely deck and a park-like back yard. There is nothing better than to sit out there with a cup of tea or coffee in the morning. But when it's only about 50 degrees that kind of ruins things. We've hardly had any 'summer' weather this year.

by **Vanaladiel** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 11:35 am

No you are not Heliona dear!!! :hug:

Well Rwhen I just didn't want you to feel pressured to have to start another thread since you are not known for starting so many new threads here in the chat forum. :whistle:

But I honestly don't mind if you start it again since it was your baby hon!! :hug:

by **RoseMorninStar** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 11:43 am

All alone on my deck. In the cold. Well, me and Pippin on the stairs

oh.. forgot to put the cushions on the chairs! What kind of hostess am I?

by **Vanaladiel** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 11:51 am

What a gorgeous yard and view Rose!!!

by **rwhen** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 11:57 am

If I am here when we hit the goal, I will start it up, but if I am not, feel free to do it for me. Whether that is you heliona or you VANADARLIN'.

Rose, I am not in a hurry to get that second ring. Now the FIRST ring, I sprinted there when I came back and saw SO many people had got rings while I was gone, some people who started years after I did. So I felt compelled to do it. For about two hours I looked at the shineh in my avatar and then, what the hay, I started posting again.

Your yard is beautiful. Just lovely. How is Pippin feeling these days? Better?

heliona if you started a thread, we would not let it die!! :hug:

by **RoseMorninStar** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 11:58 am

I wish you could all come over and have 'deck chat' with me. I'd have coffee and tea and lemonade.. maybe some scones or muffins... it would be lovely. Much better than sitting in here typing on the computer.

by **Vanaladiel** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 12:05 pm

If I could I would be there in a flash darlin!!!

by **rwhen** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 12:08 pm

Well exactly and if we were there sharing those muffins and chatting, the puter would be the last thing on our minds I am sure. But what a gorgeous setting to do live in!!! It may not have looked it from the piccies taken when I mugged my new car, but my brother has a lovely home and lot here. Yet, they never spend anytime out back and there is a HUGE pond there with a walking bridge and everything, right in his back yard. Never goes out the back door even.

Were those pics taken today? This time of year in our part of the woods, everything is brown, in a few months, when your schtuff is dying back, we will turn emerald green like you look now. I am more used to the schedule you are on, than this. I was like WHAT????? It is GREENEST in the WINTER? What's up with that?

by **RoseMorninStar** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 12:16 pm

Rose took those pictures a few days ago before she left for college.. so she could remember how everything looked. Mid summer is dry here. July. By the time the end of August comes it is usually green. The colors are turning fast here though because of the unusually cold weather.

rwhen.. you're brother sounds like he has a lovely place. They don't use the backyard even when you have all of those family get-togethers? Shame.

I feel as if we don't use ours as much as we should either. I wish it were a tad warmer in the mornings. It's so nice to sit out there. We have a ton of birds that come to the birdbath & feeder just off the deck.

by **rwhen** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 12:29 pm

Ah, lovely. It will still be a month or two before we green-up as I call it. And nope, they just don't use the back yard.

When people want to be outside, they go out front. He has this wrap around porch and his BBQ grill is on the front porch. So he has benches and chairs under there. Also the front view is what looks over the big mister animal raisin' dude's pastures. So you get to see the horses, sheep, goats and such all year. I like that.

But even then, when it is just family getting together, we tend to be inside and do music or play cards around the dining room table, which is right next to the kitchen with all the cooking that is going on. It is really all about passing time waiting for the food.

But that is our tradition for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Around then, it is mostly too cold to be hanging outside anyway.

I hope you do have more warm weather before the fall REALLY hits you hard.

by **SilverScribe** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 1:32 pm

BOO!!

The power in our building failed this morning at 11 am. After an hour of waiting around, most of us left and came home (went home?) to work.

Plus: I'm working from home!!

Minus: I have no air conditioning and it's a balmy +31C out there (87.8F for you 'Mericans

) though the humidex is pushing that up to +34C (93.2F). I do believe we are breaking early September heat records . . . *whew*

:D:D

by **rwhen** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 1:49 pm

Hi Scribbles!!!

Sorry for the heat and humidity you are having, our whole summer has been higher than normal. But oddly enough by the weekend it will be in the 60's (dunno what that is for you and too lazy to look it up, thanks for doing the conversion for us lazy 'Mericans).

Doncha hate it when something like the power goes out at work and they make you stay anyway? The last job I had did that. If we left, we wouldn't get paid for that day. Working where I am now with family, if the power went out, we would play cards or guitar and sing. *shrugs*

Psssssst, I would rather go home on a work day thanks.

You haven't been posting up much, hope all is well!!!

by **SilverScribe** » Thu Sep 03, 2009 2:01 pm

hey mom!

Brrrr. That would be around 15.5 C. Definitely on the coolish side.

And just for you:

Conversion Link for the Americans

:D:D

Actually, the Occupational Health and Safety or the Alberta Labour Board would be all over our employer like flies on jam if they tried to force us to stay in a building where there was not only no air conditioning, but no air movement at all. It's one thing to just be overly warm, but to not be getting fresh oxygen is another matter. (Although I'm not sure if the employer is obligated to pay us or not . . . ) Absolutely everyting went down except for the emergency lighting and the battery operated door lock keypads. Those first few seconds of absolute and utter silence (before everyone starts babbling at once) are extraordinarily spooky. It's amazing just how much background "noise" we shut out in the normal office.

Like you, I'd rather go home on a work day as well, but on a scorcher like today, I'd stay at the office just for the comfort of the air conditioning.

I haven't been around much the past few days, I know; not even in the evenings. Life has been very, very busy. I'm scheduled to take next week as vacation (LOL, I take 4 "official" days of AV and get 9 days off!) and I'm sooooo looking forward to it since this coming weekend is once again, very full. *sigh*

:D:D
