Teacup Café XLII

***Earniel*** · 11-29-2012, 05:39 PM

Welcome to the Forty-Second Teacup Café!

The last one lasted about a year and a half, so we'll see how long we can stretch this one.

Tea and coffee are on the left table, cookies and scones can be found on the right. Help yourself, the last time we had staff, we appear to have lost them somewhere in the zoo, or maybe in the sauna.

Or possibly the aquarium.

But it also could have been the giant provision cabinets. The one with the giant squid.

This is the Teacup, after all.

Enjoy!

I'll take a Manhattan.

*stumbles in and takes a seat* I guess I'll curl up here with a hot chocolate (secretly stroking my Hobbit IMAX 3D tix and mumbling "my precioussssss"....)

....what?

Noble Elf Lord · 12-02-2012, 05:06 PM

I was just scared nigh witless... a friend of mine had almost committed suicide. What's worse, she's an internet friend, so I won't exactly be there in time if... /(>.<)\ I did my best talking to her, and hope it helps... another friend of hers had talked her out of it.

I'm so scared.

shesabrandybuck · 12-10-2012, 01:28 AM

*makes a strong cup o' tea* hang in there buddy, I truly hope everything is going to be okay <3

Noble Elf Lord · 12-10-2012, 02:41 PM

Thank you L-: She's better now (as far as I can tell). Luckily she's kept her word on writing to me daily. Here's hoping it will indeed be what she called it, an "all-time low". But indeed looking brighter now.

**Mari** · 12-10-2012, 03:13 PM

I'm sorry to say that talking usually doesn't help, but I'm glad it worked in your case. Let's hope she stays on top of things from now on.

If someone could make me a cuppa, I'd be very grateful. Today was rather taxing.

***Earniel*** · 12-10-2012, 05:15 PM

Coffee or tea? I'll make a pot of both.

Busy season, eh?

***Earniel*** · 12-20-2012, 11:23 AM

So Christmas shopping's all done!

Which leaves the Christmas cleaning...

Aand I've run out of procrastinating excuses, darnit.

Cleaning it is then. *sigh*

Hi all - I havent been here for quite some time - but I thought I drop by and wish you all the best for the holidays.

I just wanted to stop in and say hi

I haven't been around for the past few years. I always told myself that I would never become one of those mooters who forgot Entmoot the moment they went off to college, but alas that is exactly what happened. I've now graduated, married a friend since childhood, and am attending grad school, working towards a Ph.D. in Organic chemistry.

When the Hobbit movie came out, I just had to return to Entmoot to see what you all thought

I'm hoping to stick around for a little bit!

Congrats on behalf of yer achievements, not least due to marriage!

Having been absent for quite a while myself, it's nice to see others returning too.

I totally empathise. Its only after my mandatory four years of higher education that I now have time to come and drop by Entmoot. The best thing is - when so many things in my life have changed, its a great comfort to swing by here and see the same old faces and hear the old voices and know something is going on as before.

Lotesse · 01-01-2013, 08:12 PM

Happy New Year, all my beloved old Entmoot family! Boy, we sure go back a ways, don't we? Love you all very much! 2013 will be a very good year. The world is changing! I feel it in the water; I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air...

So how has 2013 been for you L.A. Lotesse? I's been a mixed bag here for me so far, but we still have the last quarter to go. It will be the decider.

The lorries got lost in a bog and couldn't get out until now, but here they are...

"beep - beep - beep -beep* The lorries arrive with the usual Café paraphernalia of BBQ pit in attendant well-apppointed stone-laid veranda, verdant game-rich forest with peaceful fish-stocked lake, Mini-Zoo, Maxi-Zo, a new Spa section with Saunas, steamboxes and well-equipped gym. Bar, bistro with ice-cream parlour attached and special chocolette shop with an excellent selection of various goodies.

Noble Elf Lord · 12-24-2012, 12:43 PM

Merry Yule to each and every soul.
