*blows dust off account*

Whatcha know, it still works.

I could do with a a cup of tea. So busy lately. Had to learn two new computer programmes in a hurry. And now I really should be starting on getting the yearly accounts sorted. *groan* The gift certificates have been kicking my ass a lot lately. Although I think that for the first time in ten years the head office finally learned how to invoice them correctly! So yeay!

I think I'm not suited for all this adulting after all. Is it too late to turn this stuff back?

How are you all settling in Wyoming, Val?

**Mari** · 02-24-2016, 08:02 AM

I just sent out the invitations to my 30th birthday. No turning back the clock, I'm afraid, Earn.

Though to be honest, I really wouldn't want to be back in my teens... *shudders*

I didn't realize we were the same age. I have no idea why I thought you were younger.

And I agree. I wouldn't want to go back to my teenage years either

Hey, now! Keep in mind we ALL had way more time ten years ago when our biggest responsibilities were pretty much homeworks. And I JUST posted the answer, thank you very much!

Speaking of ten years ago (and more, really), I'm binge-watching Fuller House tonight!

The last sane person · 02-27-2016, 09:28 PM

Homework ... Vs just work... I'll take work any day. I get paid for doing it, after all.

Midge · 02-27-2016, 11:03 PM

Money is good, true, but I would honestly rather have time. I wouldn't switch back to homework, though, because that just means I would have paid money to do it.

I never have enough time with my Mr. B, though, and less when I go to an 9-hr-a-day job.

Butterbeer · 02-28-2016, 04:46 PM

looool Midge, you managed to work out why the answer was staring you in the face then?

Haha, and it had nothing to do with melons either!

Must confess that made me laugh

However since you and Val are now both claiming you "answered" it.. i suspect you haven't yet worked it out

The answer was staring you in the face all the time as i'd already given it

*whistles* ! I wonder as i wander... (or is it i wander, as i wonder)?

Hi Acalewia, i'm good thanks, how are things with you?

Butterbeer · 02-28-2016, 05:04 PM

oh, and thanks for the breakfast Sane

How are you?

Nah. I actually figured it out on my own.

Well... you DID put the word out there, and it was clear to me that you knew it was the solve. But you didn't give the word as though it was a solution, and never claimed the solve for yourself. So I thought you might not want it - and I decided to hang back and see what happened. And I didn't know if you'd be back in a day, or six months.

If you really want the post, you can do it. But you'll have to follow the rules of the game (see its first post) and you'll have to keep on top of solve attempts.

Well, not back to my teens, obviously, oh hell no.

But back to my college years, I could manage, I think. But then on second thought, maaybe not.

Russia, mostly, by the look of things.

Really, I turn my back for one moment...

Midge · 03-10-2016, 12:23 AM

So I just realized that I mostly associate you all with your avatars.

Like I'm pretty sure Mari is an anime-style Japanese teacher, and Sane is just plain scary and Earn lives in a pond. Oh, and SGH was DEFINITELY a cat.

Then, of course, reality settles back over me, and I realize that's probably not all true, but geez, it makes me feel like my friends are REALLY cool.

P.S. Earn, are you sure you don't have some special reptile/amphibian super-power?

The last sane person · 03-11-2016, 05:12 AM

Many, many years ago to the tune of a decade ago, we had a thread called "How Do You Envision the Mooters" that dealt with exactly what you just said.

That was a fun, silly thread. I'm pretty sure the links in the official picture thread are mostly broken now.

HAHA! I remember that thread. I think someone thought I was a female version of Aragorn -giggles-

Good Times

Midge, if you image the Japanese styled teacher with a bloody sword in her hands, you're pretty much on the money

Only if they're somehow connected with chocolate.

Ribbit.

I mean, no. I do have a sensitive skin and all and fungal infections are the enemy (killkillkill) but that's hardly a super-power.

And the lifeguards at the public pool don't like it when I try to see if I can breathe under water so we'll never know...

I thought I had repaired most of them if the pictures are still uploaded. But I suspect the vast majority is now well and truly outdated, rather than broken.

Only when your students are acting up, right? Right?

Only as long as people don't confuse me with the chocolate frogs from Harry Potter.
