Lee your picture didn't come through. Mega, loved the body painting! Nice one. I have to get out of the forums for a bit. Great to see you all! Shaz, I have been missing you and if Fluffy comes back tell her I miss her too.
Oh, right, sorry Mega. I know it's not a switchboard.
I've missed all of you. Have fun!
Yes, mate.. missed you too. Ive been out of the fold, but nice to see some old friends. Lots of newbies here, but then, this is always the case (fast turnover etc) Can always rely on Mega though *wink*... pioneer of the tribe...
Hey Mega - shame that the sheep closed his account - I was really upset about that, really!
well, me too, but people come, people go - I should take a break from this myself cuz I'm not getting enough other stuff done. I just bought a guitar which should maybe arrive tomorrow - so then I'll be preoccupied with that and you will all see a lot less from me! life goes on. not a big deal.
But your legacy lives on... the tribe! I dont think you will be too far away Mega. I have a feeling you will be popping back
I was supposed to stay away and I really, really tried, but heck - How are ya? Happy Memorial Day hope you enjoy it and have nice weather like we're having. I did get my guitar so I will go try to toughen my fingers up a little now! Have a great one!
Hi everyone,
Don't get down mega... we all love you...
Come have some utility sex with sock puppets in GS's massage room..
Ignore the other BS that goes on in the forums and chat with us crazy people...
I prefer sock sex with the utility puppets in the laundry woom. however, I have a date with a sock puppet sometime next week! He was a little vague about the time and place. hmmmmmmm
come to think of it! ?
yeh, that sock puppet said to meet him at the diner! but we don't have a diner in town and I don't even know what he looks like! Oh why do I always go for the bad boys!!!
Dude! that sounds awesome! I've never had THAT done to me!
consolation! wooooo hooo!
I just tuned my guitar, learned how to put the strap on, and learned my first scale - I think it was E minor. Plus I ate some cherries, made tea and got the mail!
Man, I am efficient! now for some of that consolation. wooh baby!
I bought cups for a wedding present... so the wife has now wrapped our spare rice cooker... lol
rice cooker? you can never fail with a rice cooker - cups are nice too. but massage oil would have been wonderful - and maybe incense and some aromatic oils! and soft music - instrumental so you can hear when they're murmuring in your ear. SWEET! now that's what I call consolation! oh, and don't forget the candles!
What are the candles for?? Oh never mind....
I am off to bed now, 1:30AM and I have to fix my car in the morning before I can go anywhere... Going to be a busy day, need my beauty sleep..
see you soon, don't avoid the forums too much, miss you..
good night, honey - the candles and I will be here for ya! flickering . . .
Hi all. Classes are kicking my butt. But I had to come say Hail to the Tribe!
Shaz - nice to see you back. I was sad to see the sheep go too, but we all have to make choices.
Anyhoo... take care all until I can eek out a moment to pop back in!
Just popping in to say hello to everyone in the tribe. I have not been on much in the last week since going back to work and doing some rearranging of the house to better suit everyone here. .. mama says hello as well and we both hope everyone is doing well.
Hi all - everyone's super busy - me tooooo trying so to get things done. Hope all is well!
Hi all... trying to escape from the forums and write a hub but not having much success, guess will power not my strong point..
Geez, you leave for a couple of hours (um... days... um a week) and come back to a bunch of ashes and some dusty bean bag chairs....
*straightens up, gathers wood for fire*
Hope everybody is alright...
*starts fire, dusts off chairs*
Maybe what we need is a little sustenance
*lays out slim jims, cheetos and a cooler of beer*
That oughtta do it...
*crawls in...makes it to the coffee pot...pours a cup* Frazzled...tired...but happy. Haven't fallen off the face of the earth, at least! LOL
Where is everyone?
popping in to say hi...have been checking out music on the net.
ya, i'm posting on the songs of the week thread - supposed to be friday songs but I'm making it up as I go...breaking the rules...LOL
I didn't even know there WAS a songs of the week thread. Shows how observant I am...I didn't know there were rules either.
supposed to link songs that have the current day of the week in the title.....but......I don't always...usually!
Hey SOH... Not sure we've met.
*extends hand for virtual handshake*
Hi GS! Long time!
*Remembers to sit down, waves legs at GS*
Just wanted to bop in and say hello! I have been super busy working crazy schedules then babysitting on the side s haven't had much of any type of free time. Anyway hope all are well
What has happened to the tribe? Calling all Tribe members it is time to reconnect. Let's not let the tribe die.
pinky, girl it is good to hear from you. Things here in the great state of Texas are hot as Hades. I sure have been missing your writings and hope things clear up for you soon so you can get back with us on a regular basis.
It's not looking like it's gonna be anytime soon as work is crazy and mama is not doing very well with her health. I'm worried and scared and just nerves are shot and I don't know.
It's been hot here in Ga too and humid. It rained today thank God cuz we needed it.
Pinky - So sorry to hear your mom is not well. Please tell her we're thinking about her!
HEY! wake up tribe! are you all just checking in and not finding any tribers so you go away? It's been dull around here for the past few days. I left for only a week or so and came back to find all my old pals missing. So what's up with that? Are we just all doing good deeds? enjoying the pool? can't be bothered or what? Nice sunny days here and it does seem a shame to spend much time in front of the puter, but I do feel a little like writing. I am ignoring the contest but managed to write my hub on M.F.K. Fisher, my favorite food writer.
Love you! Come back! Come back, Tribe! I promise not to abandon you again, if you'll come back and make me laugh and smile!
Hi Mega, love the new look, did you get your hair done??
Been trying to write hubs and prepare for a week long audit starting next week (Saturday) so not been on forums too much.. lol
Missed you, where have you been, checked out GS's parlour and you were not there.. looked in the utility room in case you were having... well you know,... hehehehe
Nice to see you... But I'm off to bed soon, my wife is making very reasonable demands of me so I have to give in....
Goodnight.. well it is 11pm....
Hi Leanman! I've been trying to pull back from all the computer activity and get other stuff done. not working however
Gee, your wife sure is demanding - it must be just awful, I feel sooooo sorry for ya!
I got EVERYTHING done! it turned out nice, huh.
Now I'm waiting... she now writing a hub of her own... On word at the moment, english not her first language but she doing fine..
I started the 30 day challenge but so much now happening at work....
Glad you got everything done...
Hi Mega! Glad to see you back . I haven't been around much since going back to work, moving back to Georgia, my mom's health going way south, and everyday life. I hope you are doing well
whoa, Pinky - I can't keep up - so sorry to hear about Lynn's health, hope she'll get better fast. And I know what you mean about being so busy with live and all. Keep on keepin on is all I can say! Nice to see you here.
Thanks hun. I'm trying to keep on keepin on but it's hard at this point. I am scared out of my mind about my mom and hope we can get something found out quick fast and in a hurry
Mega! How're you doin' gal? Good to see you here again-btw, love the avatar.
Hi Sam!
I'm tryin'! Really I am!
If you missed my earlier posts, I'm back in college taking some classes. Between full time work, 2 kids, a house and school, HP has had to go off my short list. I do pop back every now and then to say "hi" though. Even tried to start a party a few pages back, but no one came.
Well, at least there's the occasional post...
Whoa. I swear there was a post from Sam there a minute ago. What happened?
So much for a relaxing weekend and a chance to write a hub or two... just midnight and I have finally sat down.... give me two minutes and I will.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...zzzzzz
ok, all done writing for today. Shhhhhh! don't tell anybody, but I finished Chapter 8 finally! hoooray! and NOW
for a little fun!
I said FUN!
didn't you hear me? FUN! darn it!
Well I am doing a bit better today ... mama is getting her test done finally so we should have some answers by the end of next week. hope all you tribers here or not are doing well. We miss you all
I really hope you will have some good news soon, and tell your mama we miss her and are sending our prayers.
Thanks mega! I really appreciate that. And I will tell her you say hi and miss her and are praying for her and as soon as we find something out I will let you know.
evening all.... Stuck in a hotel with a terrible connection in the middle of an audit....
Going to give this up as a bad idea very soon as taking too long to even load a forum page..
Guess what LeanMan - I almost fell over laughing this morning when I looked at our new George Foreman grill and it's name is "LeanMan" HAHAHAHA! so now, everytime I grill bacon or burgers or steaks or chops I'm gonna be thinking of you! hahahahaha! made my day.
I look forward to reviving my commission from george foreman.. lol
Have some pork and think of me... not eaten any for so long... But I did have venison and ostrich today, not sure how it was grilled..
love venison, never had ostrich - you are living high!
Tasted very similar today... was at a "Brazilian" grill in saudi arabia.. Also ate camel for the first time....
Ate far too much....
I love venison, and quite enjoy ostrich as well (only had it once.) What does camel taste like? Is it leaner and gamey like venison, or is it more like cow beef? Hmmmm... I think I'm hungry.
oooh, camel. But my bacon was very good - I love my new grill! It makes fabulous bacon! You couldn't be named after a better "utility", LeanMan!
hi all. Sorry Ive been away. I hope everyone is well, and those that arent, are soon.
Fourth of July - eating? yes and no. Tribers = have a happy 4th and enjoy whatever kind of fireworks you like best!
What's the 4th of july???
Hi all... been busy last week but back now with a vengence, only a week to do half of my 30 day challenge..
Hi Mega, how are you??
you know, American Independence Day!
good for you - I never made one of those challenges - I can't produce under pressure . . . lately I'm lucky if I get 3 done in a month!
So yeah, I'm fine. Can't believe the year is half gone - I'm about half gone to, truthfully. But, so, yeh - trying to find some way to enjoy myself without getting in trouble!
Every time I enjoy myself I get in trouble... but i still enjoy myself...
Independence.. is there such a thing??
evidently no independence from the English! heh heh - considering it's British Petroleum we have to thank for our latest woes! Always something, isn't there.
But actually, no, there is no true independence - we are all interdependent - a lot of political nonsense makes our world very hard to live in because people believe in independence. The 4th is one of those American Holidays (like Thanksgiving) based on a fallacy from the get go and causes all kinds of weird arguements, sometimes violent. I like the pretty fireworks, but hate that they stand for the American belief that we have to kill others in order to keep our country strong. what weirdness!
now that i am here what do i do..... just look good is that it?
holy double coincidences batman! I think i ran into the hubtribe again!
Helllllooooooo anyone there??????

I've just received word that I've qualified to receive some "assured long-term" benefits for disability - on an application process that took over 2 years and many individuals/professionals as advocates' assistance. This means that I can evade the constant worry of homelessness, so long...

Wrote a new hub this afternoon, just for fun. It is topical, relating to a new news item today. Would someone like to read it in it's entirety and comment, please? Pretty please? I don't usually do 'satire' if that is what it could be described as, should I leave it as it is, or go a bit further...

I have two hubs up so far. I am not entirely sure what a great ranking would be considering that they are quite new, but they are both above 60. Is this pretty good for newly established hubs? I would appreciate any feedback on my work and what can be done to improve for the future, as well as...

people, i have volunteered to reseach on correlation between age distribution vs hub contents. Could you please visit my age profile hub and vote on your own age profile. The clicks are all anonymous to me (I think hubstaff knows where to find the data as they would not allow you to vote twice)I am...
