These places get destroyed awful fast by you rowdy people...
 QUOTE(minque) This is meant to be a place where you can talk about anything without having to stay on topic. Feel free to ask questions, to talk about the things in your life you like to share with your fellow-members. Or just step inside for a while, have a coffe and a good chat! You may feel free to post whatever you like as long as it is within the rules of the forum. But if the conversation degrades to spam, you will be treated as though you are spamming anywhere else on the forum. This is a thread where you can relax and talk about personal things, but it is not to be used as an excuse to make pointless posts. Please help to keep this alive and well and a place where we can meet and share. Enjoy your stay here!!! QUOTE(Alexander) We had intended the coffee shop to be a nice place where people could talk about their daily activities and such, kinda like the Lurkers Lair on the Official Forums. It didn't quite turn out that way though, people have been taking advantage of their freedoms in here, there has been a lot of spamming and even some flaming. We will not tolerate that any longer. So unfortunately we've had to decide to increase the rules for this thread. Of course the normal forum rules still apply, but we'll elaborate here.: 1. No spamming. We consider double posting and posting posts with only a few words to be spam. If you do that your post will be deleter or moved, do it too often and you might receive a warning for it. We also consider chit-chat spam. This forum has a special chat channel for chatting, you're welcome to go there, and chat with other members or with the staff as we're always there, doing it in here is not allowed. The address to that chatroom is: W4O chat And for assistence to use a chat like this, I recommend looking over this thread: http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248 Or contacting one of the Administrators. 2. No discussion of accounts or warnings. There shall be no more discussion about members, about accounts, about how many warnings you've gotten or anything like that. 3. No trolling. No posting of random nonsense, no posting of irrelevant things, no posting the same thing over and over just to get it noticed, no swearing or flaming. 4. No religion or politics. No discussion about religion or politics is to be had in these threads. If you want to discuss religion or politics, please do make another thread, or if another such thread already exists, please post in it. If you have a question about the rules of the forums, feel free to ask it to either a Global Moderator or an Administrator. If you're unsure if something is fit to post here, it might be. Again best to ask a Global Moderator or Administrator. If you're wondering how we think a Lair or the Coffee Shop should look like, what we do allow, then I recommend taking a look at the Lurkers Lair at the Official Forums. --------------------  D�anaim smaoineamh, d� bhr� sin, t�im ann - Descartes Only the dead have seen the end of war ~ Plato Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist.

What it do ladies and gents?
I just kind of comically noted to myself that I tend to pop my head in here on six month intervals. Strange isn't it? Anyways I'm at home going stir crazy while I wait to get back to school for my last year. It crazy to think that I was apart of these forums like my freshman year of highschool and I'm just about to graduate. Wow. Anyways I just wanted to stop by and say hello and see if any of the "old-timers" are still around. Peace -------------------- “I'm not insensitive, I just don't care.”

Welcome back, Channler. As one of the older "old-timers," I am happy to say that a fair number of us are still around. Pull up a chair.
Considering all the unhappy news we have been experiencing lately, I wanted to pass along a story that shows all is not dark and gloomy. The new cat (Princess Juneipurr) has her own schedule- as most cats do. So, beginning around 4:00 a.m., she will show up on the bed, with one of her toy mice, and proceed to have a grand time batting it around and jumping on us. She usually announces her arrival with a "trill"- a sort of long "purrr-ripp" sound. Once we convince her that it is not yet time to get up, she will disappear, only to come back an hour later. And so on, until it IS time to get up. Mrs. Treydog and I were laughing about this behavior, and she said, "I guess for her, every day is Christmas." And maybe that is not a bad way to approach life. Of course, it's easier if you are a cat who sleeps 17 hours a day, and plays or eats the other 7. -------------------- The dreams down here aren't broken, nah, they're walkin' with a limp...

Best of luck, just remember that once you're done you can get it nice and empty again.
Not really any news from me. My knee has continued to deteriorate (the doc says it is cartilage and it's knackered in both knees) so now I make it to the shops and not much more. I might get to see a specialist one day but the waiting list to get onto the waiting list is weeks so it's about as likely to get better by itself. Still I get some other things done instead. -------------------- Look behind you and see an ever decreasing number of ghosts. Currently about 15.

QUOTE My girlfriend just got a pet dog...and he's a maniac. It bit me twice and I have a huge mark on my FINGAH! CHARLIE BIT MEH!! In fact, I screamed that out loud when I got bit and my girlfriend started calling the dog charlie. I actually laughed at that. Albeit jealous and a pained one. You see, my hound died. And he was right in front of me. The worst part is, I didn't do nothing about it. I returned from Phillipines to Japan, and was greeted by my family there etc. After celebrations passed and all went back to normal, my attention went to my G. Retriever. He was skinny beyond words, and I suspect that one of my stupid cousins didn't pay full attention to my dog. I even left some money for him to buy food for Reaver! So, I decided to head to my cousins place in hopes for an explanation. While dressing up, the big furball came up to me and practically begged to join. Soft whining, ears flat back and those brown pleading eyes. . . Who in their right mind wouldn't refuse an offer like that? A dog-hater, maybe. Anyway, I was like 'Sure, why not? This is probably our first walk together last time I was here. And that was like, two months ago.' And our last, I might add. Since that air-head's house is just a couple of blocks away, I decided to walk leisurely with my dog. As me and furball walked across a road, a truck went on our way. Apparently he didn't notice it WAS BLUE (or green for that matter) NOT RED. You can guess what happened. The dog, for reasons unknown to me, went ahead... And. . . y'know. That's why I haven't been online for.. I don't know. One week? Two weeks? ... Death do have a sick sense of humor. Our first meeting, since two months, turned into our last. The only thing that I felt that time was.. what's the word? Regret? Sadness? Anger (at myself for not taking Reaver with me to Phillipines)? Confusion? Shock? Guilt? Or maybe a mixture of all six? Thanks for listening (so to speak) to my rant. I haven't opened up to anybody since then, probably lacking the guts to do it. -U. -------------------- Djinn: What wish would you like to have, young master?

Well, you told us, and we are a caring, friendly bunch....
Growing up with collies, I became all too familiar with the dog vs. automobile conflict. I am so sorry for your loss, and for the circumstances. Talk as you feel the need, visit when you can- but know that we share your grief. -------------------- The dreams down here aren't broken, nah, they're walkin' with a limp...

I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words and thoughts. Steve did die; he was buried with full military honors and my son was given the bullet casings from the gun salute and the flag that draped his coffin/urn. I could not put off my business trip, too many other factors were relying on it being on a given date.
Two things came of my trip: My stud dog may have some future contracts with this breeder (hopefully), the man spent years perfecting this line and my dog epitomizes what he was trying to bring out in the offspring (so I have my fingers crossed on that). Here he is: The second thing (hopefully good) that came from the trip was my new puppy. Her bloodlines make her a very special dog, so far she is showing a very promising beginning. She was 3 1/2 pounds when I brought her home and was running circles around the stud trying to herd him. These dogs are Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dogs and are used for hunting or herding (or both). New puppy at 7 weeks old: (She is gray colored with very blue eyes, bad lighting in that pic, sorry.) I am back home, but exhausted. I will try and get on here a bit in the next week, but may not get to read much. You all ROCK for being such good friends! <333 P.S. - Zalphon, I love your poem, and I know you have been worried sick. You changed your email address in the middle of all this going on, I have to find it and figure out how the F I'm supposed to change it in Windows Vista. I tried repeatedly and it keeps going back to your old email address as soon as I get out of the screen and try to mail it. You know I would write you if I could though, you are always in my heart.

Yay! Welcome back!
I know it's been an awfully rough time for you and your family. I wish the best to you and your son as you move forward from the past couple of months. Take your time getting caught up. There's a lot to do! New stories to enjoy. Old friends to say hello to. When Maxical is ready to entertain us again, we'll be here! -------------------- |
