Hey, all! Popping in to say hello.
Email notification still does not seem to be working...arrggh.

MSG, I forgot to tell you about Pulse! Without giving too much away, I enjoyed about 2/3 of it, then it went weird. You might enjoy it; not so many jumpy scares as kinda creepy things. You might feel the need to stay away from the computer for awhile afterwards!

Tristan I think I'm having the same problem with Email notification. So you are not alone with this problem. Or is it, you are alone because of this problem? I'm confused.

Seriously I haven't received any notifications and I know people are posting on threads I'm in.

In the past I would get notifications for replies when I never even posted to the thread the reply indicated.

Did that last sentence make any sense?

I guess it evens out.

Traveler - you so make the kind of sense I do... or (as I like to call it) "I make the kind of sense that doesn't" ...bit of a Joss-ism that I think!

Come back soon Phoenix Rose - I just came home from dinner so I'm full and sleepy and I'll have to go to bed soon as I'm running on empty!

I did receive a PM from a Fireflyfan today - so it might be intermittent (the worst kind of glitch to repair...) or maybe selective in whom it plays up for... nah - definitely just intermittent! You guys are way too shiney!

hmmmm... pondering here - I wouldn't ask a SO to give up a hobby they were passionate about, though I would hope that if we were having a family they would take that into consideration and work out the risks and priorities. Then again I cannot think of anything so terrible that I'd be waiting by the phone...

I myself only have creative hobbies, the most dangerous might be bush walking (combined with nature photography) so I guess it I wouldn't like anyone asking me to give up my creative outlets, and therefor wouldn't expect anyone to give up theirs... make sense? (What about you Traveler??? Does it make sense to you????)

And Tristan... I loved my purple carnation on the last thread!!! it made my day!! Thank you!

Hmmmm... longish post there - I'll be back soon! Magda x x x

quick question's, when did clubbing get rubbish?

when did it stop being about dancing and start being about pulling?

when did getting drunk become and end of itself instead of a fun side-effect?

when did the music get so terrible?

and when did the atmosphere get so...just, not right? =S

s'not the same...

edit: hehe, second apart posting

Oh, I've been back, I've just been obsessing over pretty pretty ladies who I think should be Wonder Woman...

I'm of the belief that you can't change people, that they can only change themselves. I'd need a very, very good excuse to try and talk a SO out of a dangerous hobby. I mean, unless their life were in pretty immediate danger I wouldn't see myself as having the right to make any demands. Maybe if we had kids or something.

I'd probobly be gently scoffing and dissaproving though. That's the wife's privilage

On a totally different note - I found some hippie smilies!!!



Aren't they sweet?

Odds- I'm not sure what happened to clubbing. Somehow it has mutated from fun group of friends going out dancing, enjoying life, etc. into this bizzare everyone get as trashed as possible and see who can hook up with random stranger for random sex act thing... I blame t.v.( they cancelled Firefly and promoted the OC thereby killing the morals of our youth)

Snakes on a Plane was meant to be a B horror movie. There is no point, just snakes(on a plane) and lots of scares, fun quick comebacks,and thrills. It's a popcorn movie.

My sweet borther in law is here with us. He drove 7 hours after a long day's work on Friday( arriving at about midnight) and will return on Sunday afternoon, just to spend time with his brother (my husband) on his birthday... How sweet is that:)Plus he brought his dog Kamas to play with our dogs...it's their first doggy sleepover and they are having a ball:)

Oh Jailbait... I remember when clubbing was fun! Dancing the night away with your friends was the name of the game and I liked getting just enough alcohol into me to throw caution to the wind, but not enough to fall over, puke or pass out... now that seems to be the only thing people do with alcohol...

You're so right DTH - it's all because of the Fox executive taking Firefly off... I blame him for a lot of things... the serious decline in clubbing... the skyrocketing price of petrol... the buttons on my remote control sticking... he is one evil dude... (and I am a pacifist )

I've been hearing and reading about Snakes on a Plane for so long now I think I might have to go and see it... it opens here next week I think, but I will have a tough time finding someone to go with me - all my friends are completely uninterested...

Glad you're back gorgeous PR! It's disconcerting all the gorgeous ladies who could do Wonder Woman justice, isn't it? I think Linda Carter is one of the most gorgeous ladies around - Joss should give her a say in who gets to play the role she immortalised!

well - sorry to love you and leave you, but I must go to bed - I've done that 'oh-crap-it's-1.32am-again thing... good night all you wonderful, shiney FFFfriends! - Magda x x x

I come back to say hi, and everyone is gone. No Forsaken shakin' their thang, no Imponderables ponderin'.

I hate working Saturdays - all the freaks who are safely locked in offices (or boxes, whatever) during the week are let loose to roam. And they bring their evil spawn with them...

Dangerous pursuits - husband climbs. He talked me into it, too, so... Oh, and he's scared of snakes, big time, so we won't be seeing that little film.

For some reason, clubbing just makes me think of Jayne with a nine-iron and a horrific grin (ohh, plot bunny...)
